The sound of landing thrusters brought him back into the moment. He releases his harness and the rest of troops do too. To his company he shouted, "Hearts of Iron!" As the boarding ramp lowers they respond, "Fists of Steel!" Withing two minutes Alexi and his men where outside the dropship and the craft was on its way back to the fleet.
Looking around he sees the rest of the 3rd division. He was proud to not the black color scheme for which the guard drew its name spread out into the distance and more dropships where landing. Over his comm Col. Rifkin's voice sounded, "Captian Malkov take your men north and secure the hill in sector four of your battle map. From there you will have direct sight into the LC base. You are to act as spotters for our heavy artillery." Alexi acknowledges his orders and confers them to his men. Without hesitation they turn north setting off for the hill.

He hears a faint rumble and over the comm he receives, "Earthshaker cannons in position Captain." "Understood, He replies. He tells his men to take up position on the hilltop and has Sergent Vladamir start calling in targets for the Earthshakers. Taking a position at the summit of the hill watches the black armored forms and vehicles of the guard approaching the base. "Earthshakers target the fuel depot, I want the LC and UCS get a good entrence from the Dynasty," Alexi comms. From behind him comes the thunderous roar as the heavy Gauss weapons fire.

In the battle between Corporation and UCS ships a LC battleship has been heavily damaged and is falling from orbit. It will crash in sector 551. This is a notification to all invasion forces.
Sector 551 that was on the other side of the LC Base from his location. Over the comm he says, "Did you receive the notification Col. Rifkin." "Yes Captain I did, but that does not change our mission continue calling targets." "Yes, Sir," Alexi responds.

Once they reach the bases main gate Alexi walks over to a sergeant at the gate. To the man he says, "Sarge what is the situation in there?" The sergeant replies, "Sir, the LC has been pushed back to the command bunker and the area around the armory. Scouts report that the armory is under control by UCS forces. We also know that the UCS forces have mechs near the armory, but they are very few and far between. As for the LC it seems that they where caught with their pants down. They have few vehicles and most where destroyed during the Earthshaker barrage. Furthermore we have secured the vehicle hanger and the south perimeter defenses." "Thanks Sarge," Alexi says. Over the comm he receives the orders telling him to met Col. Rifkin by the Armory.

Once they arrive at the armory they note LC is sending troops in through the main entrance. Hearing gunfire Alexi knows that the UCS troops holed up inside where putting up the hell of a fight. Suddenly a Rhino heavy tank pulls up to their position. The commander climbs out of the vehicle and approaches Alexi. "Captain, Col. Rifkin is dead. Before he died he told me that you are to take command of the 3rd until they can send a replacement from fleet. You are also to negotiate a cease fire with the UCS troops inside that armory, after all we can kill them later if we need to," the man says. Alexi nods his head and says, "I understand. Very well commander I want maximum firepower put on the command bunker. Also power up the disruption beacons." As the tank commander calls in his orders Alexi instructs the men to place a breaching charge on the wall of the armory. I hope this does not cause to much confusion in there, he thinks as he pull a white cloth out of his armor and makes a makeshift flag of truce.

The explosion rocks the surface of Mars and creates a deep fissure in the ground. The noise and shaking awakened an ancient mind that had been sleeping there since time immemorial. This mind is vast and made not of one creature, but of billions that had slept underground. Now this mind begins to seen forth its scouts to see what had awakened it. (This is the alien arrival I will describe them in my next post)

From the fissure in the ground crawl small insect like creatures. These creatures then begin to crawl towards the embattled humans. There bio-mechanical bodies moving with the utmost silence.
