The drop was only a few feet, but the landing still sent a shockwave through Cylus.
The top of the base was being pounced at by rain, and the dropship pulled away.
Marker and the three grunts moved forward, passing by an anti air turret that was shut down

Cylus turned his comms on and turned the soundproofing in his helmet on. That way, he could speak and be unheard by anyone who wasn't on his channel. "So, where's our point of entry?"
-
"We're moving to the edge of the building and rappelling down the side, entering through one of the windows into the third floor." Marker said as the squad approached a railing
-
Cylus followed, ready to proceed
-
"Grapples on." Marker threw his grapple over the rail and climbed over, making his way down "The rain falls into your visor, or might get hard to see so be careful!" Victor yelled as he did the same, the others following in suit
-
[spoiler]is it night on this planet?[/spoiler] Cylus pulled his hood up over his helmet before grabbing onto the rail. Attaching a grapple to it, he climbed over and followed the others down the face of the building
-
[spoiler]Yes sir! [/spoiler] Lighting struck behind them, hitting a tree that was slightly below them "Woah! Watch the lightning!" "Stop! Stop." Marker was heard over the comms. "We're at the window." Marker jumped off the side of the building and crashed through the window, falling into the room. "Follow behind my crash if you can."
-
[spoiler]Gotcha![/spoiler] Cylus timed his entrance to minimize the noise, and came rolling through the window. He landed at his feet and quickly rose, pulling one of his pistols from his belt. "Q." he said In response, Q automatically switched on night vision for Cylus' helmet. His view was lit with a green hue, and was able to navigate easily through the dark.
-
"Night vision on." Victor, Brian and Charlie dropped in behind the duo, switching their night vision on The group was inside a storage room, woth shelves through the room and boxes Two Dead grunts were on the ground and Marker moved over their bodies towards the doors
-
"Those ours?" Cylus asks, kneeling in front of one of the bodies.
-
"Yeah." Victor stopped, pointing to a patch on one of the grunts arms "You can tell by this. Marauder Corps sign." The patch was difficult to see in the dark, but then Marker opened the door. Emergency lights flooded in the room from the open doorway and Marker took a step back "Nighy vision off!" He said, moving through the doorway and looking left and white "Holy shit."
-
Cylus turned off his night vision and rushed to see what Marker was talking about. Pistol raised, he reached the doorway
-
A dozen Grunts littered the hallway. They seemed to have died in defensive positions, their backs pointing to blast doors Some of the grunts showed no signs of bullets holes, instead they were slashed...
-
Cylus approached one of the bodies and zoomed in on the wounds. "The cuts are pretty damn deep. What the hell could have done this?" he asks
-
"I don't know..." Marker said, raising his rifle as he moved to the blast doors
-
Cylus unsheathed a large tactical knife on his belt and held it beneath the barrel of his pistol. He followed behind Marker, patting his shoulder to signal he was ready.
-
Marker pressed his hand against the console, and the blast doors opened, recognizing his rank. The Inner room was lit by white, fluorescent lighting and Fur Elise blasted down the hallway. "What the -" The sound of a bullet threw the classical music into disarray, and standing up from behind consoles were three technicians along with two grunts, aiming various weapons at the squad. "THUNDER!" Marker yelled, ducking down as there was silence "Flash, get your asses in here." One of the grunts from inside the room said

"Q, assess the situation." [quote]*5 goonies here with you, more on the way. You're gonna have to act fast.* Q said.[/quote]

Edited by Royal Blade: 6/23/2017 1:00:55 AM"They're friendlies." One of the grunts said, walking into the room. Bang! Bang! Bang! The grunt fell downwards, and the other two dove behind cover. "THEY SHOT BRIAN!" Victor yelled, Blind firing into the room "Cylus, go cloak. Take the right flank, I'll take the left."
-
Edited by BondyMilk: 6/23/2017 1:05:04 AM[spoiler]Lol "Bang! Bang! Bang!"[/spoiler] "Gotcha." Cylus says, nodding. Clenching his fists, he enters Phase Run Mode and moves around the tables. Reappearing behind one of the grunts, Cylus kicks them in the back of leg and brings them to their knees, turning them to fire on the other grunt next to him. He then pushes the grunt onto their face before firing three rounds at the base of their skull.
-
Marker uncloaked towards the left side, gunning down the three "technicians" that were there. "That's all there were." Marker said, lowering his gun and tapping at one of the consoles. "Brian's Gone." Victor said, walking in besides Charlie
-
"Shit. This isn't good." Cylus says. He looks over to where Brian had fallen and said something under his breath. Looking up, he turns to Marker. "We're bound to have company soon. Whoever that Flash guy is, he'll no doubt bring some friends." he says, scanning the room.
-
"It's a code word. In cases of emergency, rescuers yell "Thunder" and the people they're rescuing yell "Flash" to ensure we belong to the Militia." Charlie said, glancing at Cylus. "So how did this guy know the code?" Victor asked, looking at one of the grunts. "Interrogation." Marker pointed towards an opened doorway that led into a storage closet. Inside the closet was a chair with a man tied to the same chair, cuts and bruises across his body
-
"Damn. That's why Brian thought they were friendlies." Cylus says, looking at the body in the closet. "Any idea of what we're dealing with?"
-
"I'm looking through security feeds. I've only ever heard rumours of these guys. They shouldn't exsist... They're a futuristic pirates Tale." "Here." Marker tapped a button and a holographic image appeared on one of the walls, showing an image of a trooper or something of the sorts https://imgur.com/gpHWkrU

"They look like... Cyborgs." Cylus comments. "Augmented with whatever tech they find I'm guessing." He sighs. "Let's hope the other teams are faring better than we are. What's our next move?"
