"Fulcrum, show her the world." The eyepiece shifted, showing a complete holographic map of a planet. There were representations of cities, and farms, many otehr things that seemed odd. Until Jaina looked at it sideways. It was a battle map, troop strengths and otehr heavy fortifications labelled. Then she saw five shapes descend upon the surface of the planet, five small birds from this perspective.
"Zoom in." The eye zoomed into a landing zone, where nearly a hundred heavily armored soldiers emerged, their armor nearly three times as heavy as anything she had seen so far. Their weapons, similar to the oens seen so far, were double barelled, and they spat forth solid slugs at a rate taht terrified. They buzzsawed through an enemy group easily, tearing them into pieces.
THe return fire came, mostly blasters. The blasters ricocheted off of armor plates, and the advance contiued, unabated. The battle raged as other defenders came out, these ones carrying heavier weapons. THe support weapons were starting to make a dent in the line when the skies opened up.
nearly two hundred warriors equipped with jet packs dropped onto the fortified position. in minutes, they were over run, the close combat weapons and pistols taking a heavy toll on the support troops. The battle lasted another hour. As it progressed onward, The white robe John was wearing started to steadily turn red, and his body was wracked with pains.
Blood flowed against the forcefield, its hotness being agitated by the energy of the field itself until it cooked off. John finally sat down in the chair, exhaustion setting in as the battle ended. He was stained with blood and sweat.
John sat quietly in the chair, the fields lowering.
"Another world freed of Tyranny. There was a democratically elected government on that world, six years ago. It was toppled by a military commander. What was left of the civilian government as well as the people of the planet requested help."
"THis is Ezekiel. We have recovered our dead, and are returning home. The tenth companies of the Novas and the Skulls have been chosen to stand watch."
"Affirmative."
In the barracks....
The squad took their prisoner to the holding cell, after removing all of his gear and clothing and giving him a "thorough" search. He was dressed in simple horizantal stripes of alternating balck and white. he was placed inside a cell, and then another field dropped. A crazed looking man was stalking around the the forcefield, testing it. He seemed to be in the throes of a rage, and an addiction. The doors were sealed before he was even released.
Outside....
The soldiers escorted the young woman into the ship. As soon as everyone was inside the ship was sealed as well as it could be and the gas vented. Afterwards, the repair team sealed the damage to the hull.
