"Warrant Officer O'Hennessey and Squad, this is Chief Warrant Officer Blackburn, head of the ground forces for the Convergence of Destiny. Captain Stirling has given me orders to meet with your squad at the Capitol Building, and join you as my command squad for this operation. I'm sending co-ordinates for the Capitol Building to each of you on your HUDs, and will establish further orders there. Be warned, there is enemy contact between you and the objective, looks like a fortified building. So stay safe, and I'll see you at the HQ in the Capitol Building. Blackburn Out."

Snake watched as a GPS map appeared on his visor, every street section and crossroad being watched at every moment by some satellite in orbit. Their allotted path was highlighted in orange, a somewhat straight path through a now occupied section of urban sprawl. The occupied building in question was a police station, most likely ransacked by the Rebels of SWAT and Riot equipment and weapons.

"Ok folks," Snake began, "looks like we finally got some damn direction 'round here! Move up people, so we don't disappoint our glorious leader."

The squad passed bombed streets and decimated corpses for a few blocks, a visceral scene of civilian casualties. After a while the team came up to a parking structure a block or two down the road from the station, a perfect sniper nest. Snake was the first to enter, lighting the way with the light of his flamethrower. Flashlights never had the ambiance he craved.

The first few flights were uneventful, mostly made up of empty cars and the occasional pool of blood. As the team reached the fifth floor, the sounds of laughter echoed from above. Snake was the first to take a peak, watching as two armed Insurgents laughed over a burning car. The officer's first instinct was to light the damn bastards up like Thanksgiving turkeys, but the sounds of screaming would attract attention.

"Ok, somebody give me ah idea to work with," Snake ordered as he turned to his team.

It hung in the air for a long moment with no one speaking. Selene imported the view from Snake’s visor to her own to see what was going on. Both men looked young and poorly disciplined. Dressed in ill-fitting clothing and pieces of body armor, they didn’t look like the terrors her mind had conjured. Suddenly an idea occurred to her. Snake evidently saw the light go in her eyes and arched an eyebrow, barely visible through his visor.

“I think I can lure them Snake,” she whispered. He nodded briskly, eager to be moving she supposed.

“Knives,” she whispered to the nearby marines. They might not use actual knives of course, the power assist of the armor was more than sufficient to make an open handed blow lethal, but it gave the right impression. With a deft move she reached up and manually powered off her helmet speakers, then lifted her visor. This was no time to make mistakes. She cleared her throat and aimed her voice at the door using the acoustics of the stairwell to carry it to the insurgents.

“Go home silly you’ve had way too much to drink,” she called in a soft feminine contralto. She embellished it with a throaty giggle. The insurgents heads came up, their grips tightening on their rifles before the gender of the speaker and the words disarmed them. Most colonies were a little behind the curve when it came to women in combat roles. The pair exchanged sly, wicked grins and started to saunter towards the stair well. It didn’t look like they had murder in mind. Unlike the marines of course. She locked her visor down and took a step back to give the professionals room to work.
