Jess inserts the chip into one of the hard drives as her motion sensor picks up enemy movement. “Blake, Trent, get ready to look alive!” Jess grabs one of the near by keyboards and starts typing in codes, looking for a manual override code. “Blue, can you here me over?” However, she only heres static “Shit, guys, they are jamming our coms. We’re on our own for now.”

Trent “Eh, what else is new?” He fires back at the Chat troops but soon is forced to take cover from the sheer volume of fire. “Blake, how you holding up?”

Blake “Oh you now, trying not to get shot.” He looks down and sees a grenade land by him. Reacting quickly he grabs it and throws it back toward the troops, and it explodes in mid air. “Ma’am, how much longer?!?!”

Jess “About five more minutes. Blake, start setting up for plan B. I’ll cover you while Trent makes sure no one flanks us.”

Blake “Yes ma’am.” Blake reaches into his armor bag and pulls out C-8 explosives “Why can’t our plan B always just be the plan A?” While Jess covers him from enemy fire, Blake runs up and down the servers, planting the explosives. Unknown to Jess, the USB she inserted into the hard drive is also inserting a virus into the Chat’s network, doing two things. One, disturbing the transfer of intel and two, keeping anyone else from accessing the intel until the Chat can remove the virus.

Trent “Jess, I need to move back, I’m going to get over run!!” He takes down one troop and goes to aim at another one when his gun makes the unfortunate clicking nose. “shit” is the only word he is able to save before being mowed down by a shock trooper.

Jess “Trent!!! First Mike and Stephens, and now Trent.” To herself “Karl, this information better be worth their lives.” Blake goes to set the last charge and rig them when Jess is forced to knock him out of the way as a Shocker trooper fires a shotgun at them. Jess pulls out her pistol and fires the entire clip into the trooper.

Blake, looking at the last charge “You’ve got to be kidding me. Jess, that lost shot damaged the wires. I can set off the charges, but it’s going to need a manually trigger.”

Jess “Okay, grab the chip and head out of here. I’ll set the charges off myself.”

Blake “Ma’am, I can’t let you do that.”

Jess “Blake, I am your leader and it is my job...”

Blake “Ma’am, to be honest you’ll amount to anything more then I ever could. You can’t die yet, it’s not your job. Besides, they are my bombs.”

Jess “Then give me your tags.”

Blake “No time, besides you didn’t get Mike or Stephens’s tags. I’m going to stay here with them. Now, get that chip and get out of here.” Jess nods her head, holding back the tear in her eye. She runs back to the chip, grabs it and makes her way out of the room. Blake “Like I said, Plan B is always our Plan A.” As she leaves the room, the explosives go off, engulfing the entire room in a final ball.

Blue “Karl, the mission was a success. The data has been destroyed and the rest has been bugged.”

Karl “Good, now ready a bird and get ready to pick her up. Once she is on board, we are jumping to Gaeto.”

DMR “Isn’t that a Chat controlled planet?”

Karl “Not really, ever since I was able to prevent your team from over throwing the planet’s government, they have loved me. Considering that, it’s a good guess that it will be a safe place to conduct operations.”

Jess continues to run down the hallway, with the Chat in hot pursuit. Using her last gas grenade, she deploys it as she runs the maintenance tunnel, slowing them down enough to lose them. Before she leaves, she rigs the down do it can’t open. To her self “What kind of leader am I? Eight of my men died today because I failed to protect them. First Yoth, the Gaeto, and now Eafth. How can I lead these brave souls into battle if I can’t ever save one of them? I know I can’t save everyone but just this once, can I get my team in and out of a mission without me being the only one who makes it?” She exits the base and sees a LAGS/U approaching “Guess this is my ride.”

The LAGS/U carries her back to the ship where Karl meets her. “I can see you’re the only one who made it back.”

In anger, Jess throws the chip at him “This better be worth their lives.” She walks away.
