[b] [Space Station Inde the day before drop 1220-1300 hours] [/b]

Amy very much enjoyed the space station it was peaceful, almost like nothing could get them up here and her worries could be left on the ground. Everyday she would eat her lunch at the same view point so she could look down on the beautiful green and blue marble everyone on this space station called home. Just like the space station it looked peaceful from up here, but she knew it was anything but peaceful. War, famine and strife were king down there and she knew that eventually the general wouldn't stand for what Russia was doing and would send in Aegis. [i]"But when."[/i] She thought, her answer came almost immediately like some sort of answer to a prayer. A drop trooper came walking up to her a corporal by the chevrons on his shoulder "Ma'am" The Corporal said giving her a salute. "You are to go to a briefing on Poland at 1300 hours." He continued. "Alright, your dismissed." She said, the Corporal just nodded and left leaving her standing alone looking out into the void of space.

[1300 hours]

The briefing started promptly at 1300 hours, gathered in the room were all manner of recon specialists within the drop toons. A major stood in the position of prominence all eyes were on him. "You are all gathered here because you are going to be hitting the ground in Poland by 0600 hours tomorrow. Some of you earlier than that. your objective if your with the first wave is assist any Polish ground assets, and ensure there is an LZ so the second wave can land and branch out. Orders and the times your leaving have been sent to your personal devices please review them now." He said, Amy pulled her personal device out of her pockets the message read like this [i]"Staff Sergeant Hausler, you are deploying at 0400 hours, orders are to link up with any Polish ground assets and provide medical and combative assistance."[/i] After they were satisfied and questions were asked the group was dismissed.

They really expected her to drop in there without a unit and survive long enough to link up with a group of rebels? They must have way too much confidence in her abilities. But it didn't matter they assigned it to her and there was no backing out, the rest of the day passed in a blur to Amy a nervous blur, as the hour of reckoning approached the more her stomach gathered butterflies. Pre-operation jitters she always got them, even when she was a marine. But as the day came to a close she lay in her bed in her barracks awake her jitters not going away. It wasn't until her personal device alerted her that she had a message that the jitters were put aside. The message was from home, she didn't read it she figured it could wait until after her mission. But it did get her mind off of her mission jitters long enough to fall asleep.

Her personal device awoke her early that morning so she could grab a shower, some chow, and arm up. The armory was quiet but there were fellow soldiers in there arming up getting ready to drop into various parts of Poland. Amy's drop zone was 2 clicks outside the town of Lublin. Normally the armory was filled with guys and girls alike shouting "Get some." But it was a hushed silence, almost like what was happening in Poland was the start of another world war and everyone in here knew it but her. Amy had just finished making sure her weapons were ready so she moved over to her armor and started putting it on, it was a dull gray armor with no color or life to it, with the exception of a pair of angel wings spray painted on the back plate by someone in her unit who thought it would be funny, she looked at her helmet, the visor was a metallic black and made it look like she was wearing a giant pair of sunglasses, slipping it on it went through weapons and ammo checks, grenade count, and also told her to make sure her medical tools were up to standards which of course they were. She looked around some of the more experienced drop troopers were putting on drop armor. Others were heading for the "Baby carrot" drop pods She always went the baby carrot route didn't trust her own drop skills to be able to hit atmo with nothing but a few extra pieces of clothes to protect her.

Getting inside her metal coffin she made sure everything was up to standards before closing it and hitting the green light so the techs in the control room knew she was ready to launch. When everyone else hit the green light a techs voice filled her helmet comm. "Launch in 3.. 2... 1...Task force Aegis is now in ground fall. Happy hunting boys and girls." His voice was the only one she had heard that entire morning and when he went quiet so did everyone else there wasn't any mission chatter or show boating just the roaring sound of her pod slipping through atmo, then the sound of her counter thrusters engaging to slow descent to a crawl and finally the chute deploying bringing her softly to the earth.

[0405 hours, Land fall 2 kilos north east outside of Lublin] 

When the hatch of her pod went off she was in a dead sprint for a copse of trees so she could watch her surroundings and formulate a plan. She got on her radio and sent an transmission out to any ground assets that had a radio in the area. "Poland, TF Aegis had made land fall we are friendlies, I am currently 2 clicks north east of the town. i would suggest any squad that needs medical assistance send me their position now so i can come in support, how copy?" She asked, hoping there were enough friendlies in the area to still make a stand.
