Arrosa Vissenya's Story

Arrosa's CO, a Sergeant first class, walks up to her at their FOB. "Specialist Vissenya. I don't know if you have friends or enemies in high places, but I got priority orders to have you transferred immediately. Grab you gear and follow me." He leads her throw their makeshift camp as the rest of the platoon watches them pass. All of them have a look of disgust and hatred, a few even make a few comments. "Coward." "Leaving us on the verge of victory." "Go a head and abandon us when we need you most." The Sergeant raises a hand towards the men and they go silent. He continues to lead her the platoons only stealth shuttlecraft. He turns to her, "Look, I'm going to be frank about this. This is fubar, taking my Demolitions Expert when we need you most. A lot more good men are going to die trying to make up for this, I hope were ever they are sending you is really that important. Cause of this I'm not sure how we are going to pull this off. Well enough of that, good luck specialist. Here are your orders and transfer papers. Your to take the shuttle to a RV were you'll meet up with an other transport to your final destination, which of course is classified. Again, good luck, and its been an honor to serve with you." With that, he nods and heads off to the command tent. The Shuttles gunner helps her load her gear and get strapped in. As soon as she is in the shuttle lifts off and speeds away. The crew remains silent till they land at the RV, an isolated clearing on a M-class planet, "Ok, we're here. I'll off load your gear then we have to go. Hope your transport gets here soon, this isn't the safest place. Good luck." The gunner off loads her gear and then shuts the shuttles hatch as it takes off. Soon after a second shuttle arrives and six person team comes out. Two flank the hatch, well two run a sort ways past Arrosa to watch the surrounding woods, as the last two grab her and her gear. They lead her into the shuttle, with the other following behind them. All six are wearing all black light armor, and facemasks while caring black AR-68s. No one says anything till they land inside a hanger at Black Site Wolf 359.

The six soldiers set up around Arrosa and escort her to a room a few floors below the hanger. In the room are six chairs, three on the right and three on the left of a center aisle. In the aisle is an old slide projector. The only other objects in the room are the over head light, a single light bulb hanging on its cord in the center of the room, and a light switch next to the door. One of the people, in a clearly disguised voice, directs her to have a seat, then all six leave, closing the door behind them. A bout five minuets pass before an other person in similar armor, but armed with only a leg holstered sidearm, walks in closing the door behind them. Again in a disguised voice, "Ok, I'm going to make this quick." he walks to the front of the room and turns to her. "I'm not going to bother with the slides. I was hoping we could have the full team here but you'll have to do. Two months ago a black site went silent. Now you are going in to find out why. You'll take a fully crewed gunship to a station in a nebula, board it and find out what happened. Objectives are as follows: Secure or destroy all classified material. Retake or destroy the outpost. The mission is your, once in the nebula you will not be able to call out. So anyone or anything you encounter that you didn't fly in with, how you handle it is up to you. You will be equipped with three cameras, suit, HUD and weapon cams. Your Gunship crew will help were they can but are to hold the door for you as long as they can. Once they say the have to go, they will leave, with or without you. Now, come with me to the armory to gear up." He leads her to the armory, were she can get any and all gear she can carry. Once done she is directed to a hanger were the Gunship is docked. Upon arriving a man in a flight suit runs up to her, "Ok time to load up. The captain will speak to you once he gets time but for now I will answer what I can on board." She is hurried on board and locked in to a jump seat, just inside the main air lock, next to the man in the fight suit.

Arrosa was busy reading a magazine she swiped from an enemy base before she blew it sky high. The magazine had pictures and articles all about explosives, and she read it with a dumb smile plastered over her face and she was drooling at the same time just imagining how each one would explode. She was interrupted when her CO, a Sergeant first class walked up to her and told she was given priority orders to be transferred to a different area so she needed to gather her gear. She pocketed her magazine, giving a depressed sigh and picked up a large bag which contained her armor and filled to the brim with D-14 charges, then began to follow her CO through the makeshift camp and past the rest of the platoon. They all had a look of disgust on their face and some began to hurl insults at her with one of them calling her a coward. She wanted to just lunge at the people who insulted her and beat them to a bloody pulp, but her Sergeant raised his hand and silenced them and in return her anger subsided. As they continued onward, she was brought to the platoons only stealth shuttle and her Sergeant made a comment how they had to transfer her when they needed her and she could sympathize with him, the mission she was assigned to was a big scale operation as there was so many things that she could blow up. With her CO's parting words of luck and telling her it was an honor serving with her, he left to his command tent and the shuttle gunner began to pack her bag into the shuttle and helped her get strapped in before taking off. The ride was quiet but that gave her some time to think. 'They are transporting me with the platoons only stealth shuttle, maybe this mission is bigger than my old mission! Maybe I can have some major fun while I am gone!' She then let out a slight chuckle as she swayed her legs back and fourth. After the ride was over, they landed on a M-class planet and the gunner began to offload her gear and after saying that the area was dangerious they closed the hatch and left. Soon after the first shuttle left, a second shuttle began to land and six troopers wearing black light armor and facemasks, and were also armed with what appeared to be black AR-68's flanked the shuttle and watched the forest. The normal person would be extremely worried of what was going on, but for her p, seeing these men who seemed like special forces that seemed to be tasked with escorting her only solidified her previous thought of a bigger mission. The men grab her gear and escorted her into the shuttle before taking off.

The ride was quiet again and they soon landed inside a hanger of some unknown site. When she left the shuttle, the six soldiers set up around her and began to escort her a few floors down until she entered a room with six chairs, a single lamp to illuminate the room, and a projector in the center. A figure with a disguised voice directs her to have a seat and the rest of the soldiers left. She took her seat and looked at the empty chairs, she guessed that those seats were supposed to be meant for the others but it seems like they weren't here. A few minutes passed and another figure in similar armor and armed with a sidearm entered the room and began to speak in a disguised voice. The figure briefed her on her mission and it was straightforward, she was to investigate a black site that went silent a few months ago so she could figure out why. She was to take a fully crewed gunship to a station in a nebula, board it and find out what happened. Her objectives were to secure or destroy any classified materials and either retake or destroy the station. She was very much leaning on destroying the whole station since the mission seemed to not include anything else that required blowing up. The mission was up to her since she could not call out to anyone once inside, she thought the station might be filled with large man eating aliens straight out of one of her comic books and be very spooky. When the figure also mention that if anything or anyone also entered without them she could do what she wanted, a very faint smile rose from her face. If they shot at her she could do some fighting because the mission seemed to be just about looking for Intel. She wished that some court or someone else could have took the mission but she would have to bear it for now. Once the meeting was over she was lead to the armory where she could arm herself, she already had her armor and there wasn't very many weapons she could choose from the military stockpile. She wished she could have her custom built weapons but no, she had to use the standard issued stuff for her missions. She reluctantly agreed to the standard issued military assault rifle because of the grenade launcher attachment and a standard issued pistol, she then opened up her bag and put on her red Juggernaught armor with skulls on it and also picked up the bag which contained her explosives. After arming up, she was brought to another shuttle and a man in some flight gear ran up to her, explaining that the captain was going to speak to her and he could answer some of her questions while she waited. She was then hurried onboard and locked onto a jump seat in the main air lock, and next to the man in the flight suit. "Well if your generously answering my questions, then why cant I have my experimental weapons! And why does a demolition expert like me have to go on an Intel run!" She whined a bit before placing her hand under her chin.

Before the man had time to answer, an announcement was mad over the ships com, "Security, have our guest brought to the war room." With that, two men both armed with Standard SIARs and dressed in civilion close, exept the close look thicker and heavyer then they should. They escort Arrosa to the starboard lift and take it to deck three. Once there they lead her on to the bridge were all six stations are manned, but there is no one in the captains chair. From there they bring her into the war room, were four people are already seated. From her point of view starting at the far right and going clockwise, a lady who looks like she is in her thirties, black hair, dressed in a green zip up short sleeve shirt and blue jeans. Next to her, a girl, clearly in her twenties, brown hair, dressed in a brown coveralls. The closest right chair is empty, and well Arrosa takes a moment, the guards post in the cornors on either side of the door, facing the table. In the closest left chair is a lady with blonde hair, and her back to the door but is dressed in a civilian doctors gown. And the last person in the room is a man with a shaved head and a blue denim jacket. All but the doctor look up at Arrosa as she entered the room.

Arrosa was eager to hear the man answer her question, but an anoucment cut in followed by two men in thick civilian clothing and armed with SIARs entered the room. She assumed that underneath those clothes were military vests and other essential gear but before she could continue her train of thought, she was escorted to the starboard lift to deck three, and she was soon escorted to the bridge. From what she could see, she saw three women all dressed up for the occasion, and a male doctor. All but the doctor looked up at her when she entered the room without saying a word, at least not right now. From her mindset and training in the military, she though the three ladies standing in front of her were high ranking commanders or officers, so she crossed her arms behind her back and remained quiet until they said otherwise.

The girl in the brown coveralls motions for Arrosa to sit in the empty seat next to her. "I'm Ratchet. Ships chief engineer. For this mission you can relax the military alittle. Still show the captain the respect he is do, without the saluting. As for the rest of us, just call us our position or names. So I'm Chief, chief Ratchet or just Ratchet." Pointing across the table, "That's Doc. Just Doc. Next to her is Lockbox, head of ships security and tactical. At the end on this side is Sparky, first officer. And you are matchstick." Just as she finished saying that a Man, in his upper twenties lower thirties, wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans walks in. Lockbox stands quickly to attention as he says, "CAPTAIN ON DECK!" The rest of the crew jump to attention. The captain takes a seat next to Lockbox and starts typing on a control pad as the crew sits back down. The screen on the wall next to him changes to display the nebula, "So this is whats up. First I am to be called, Captain, second this is a federation NAVY gunship. NOT an Army transport, so that's two strikes against us to start. In a few minutes we will leave federation space through a window in our defenses made just for us. It will only be open for five minutes so timing is everything. Once clear we should be fine till we hit the nebula. This nebula has a constant storm a little ways inside and extends almost the whole way to the station. There is what is referred to as the envelope around the station, think of it as the eye of a hurricane. Once we enter the storm we can not call out, we will be completely cut off. Even if we could, till we re-dock at the black site, this ship is flagged as stolen and all of us are flagged a AWOL. I will let Chief explain how we are to reach the station, then Lockbox will take it from there."

Chief sits up alittle more in her seat before saying, "Well, the station makes and deploys a network of sensors that act as a way to monitor the storm and as buoy for all incoming and outgoing ships. They direct ships through the safest path... if they are still operational." Lockbox puts a hand up, cutting the chief off, "Assuming we get inside the envelope, then comes the hard part. How to breach a secure black site station. As far as we can tell our two options are, the direct approach, head strait to the out post and breach a cargo bay. If we do that, its going to be a bit tricky and we would get one shot to land. Plus getting out would most likely involve firing the main gun in an enclosed space. Option two, the around about, hit an auxiliary docking bay for the science wing and make your way some how from there. That's the way I would personally recommend. To help I have brought a friend to watch your back, let me introduce Sergeant Markus Creed." As he says this he motions towards the door as the sergeant walks in. "Meet the hammer." The captain speaks up, "But as you are mission leads, you pick were we go in. But please relax till then, it will take us some time to reach the nebula. Till then dismissed." All but the guards, Stg Markus and Arrosa leave. As soon as the last person leaves the guards move in front of the door.

Arrosa calmed down when Ratchet assured her that she could relax the military stuff, at least around them. Ratchet then introduced her to the rest of the crewman but by the end of it, a man wearing a black jacket and blue pants stepped on deck before Lockbox calls out that the captain was on the deck. She immediantly turned to face him and stood at attention.

After the captain took a seat, he began to talk about how the ship they were on was a NAVY gunship and that they were leaving federation space, through a hole in their defenses in a few minutes. He then told them that once they leave, they will be declared AWOL and the ship they were on would be declared stolen. She didint understand why they would need to do such drastic things for this station but she had to roll with it. The captain soon finished his explanation before turning the rest to Lockbox and in return she told the them two plans on how to get to the station. The first plan was to do a direct approach where they would have one chance to land and have to use the ships gun in an enclosed space and the other plan was to hit an auxiliary ship that was docked then make their way from there, whatever option they picked involved explosions so she was happy with any one of them.

After her explanation, she then introduced someone who would be joining them which was someone called Markus Creed, a sergeant and a large man from the look of things. He was going to choose what to do to get to the station but they were then dismissed and she left the bridge and she immidently produced her magazine she had with her and began to read it while walking with a dumb smile on her face.
