Major Freya is watching soldiers load supplies into a large AC-130, Commanders, Silica, Stait, Osami and Arndt, are off to the side, getting their gear on. The Sun sets in the distance.
A soldier runs up to Freya and gives her a satellite phone. She nods to the soldier and grabs the phone, before listening to it. She gets a quick briefing on the Success Of Operation Overlord and Dragon's Breath.
She pockets the phone and walks over to her fellow soldiers. "Alright girls, it's go time! Both operations were a success, but we've suffered heavy casualties. So let's not make their sacrifices be in vain!"
The other nod and Stait speaks up.
"How many?"
"5,000 plus so far." Freya walks past the girls and grabs an M4A1SOPMOD. "And there were a few ship casualties."
"Who did we lose?" Arndt asks in an angry tone.
"Don't know yet, didn't want to know honestly. I want to keep a straight head on." Freya heads towards the plane as it starts up. "Let's go girls."

Satellite imagery locates Team 141's plane in the Altay Mountains. Freya is heard over the radio.
"It's quite simple. Either we retake the launch facility or we won't recognize the world tomorrow. Green light to HALP. Charlie Team go."
A set of soldiers jump out the plane.
"Second drop approaching. Bravo Team stay tight. Go."
The satellite tracks the movements of Taskforce 141, and it shows Commander Arndt moving far off course from the rest of the squad.
Then Silica lands on the ground and she takes off her parachute and readies her M4A1 SOPMOD.

Atlay Mountains, Northern Parliment
Commander Alice Silica
Task Force 141
Silica regroups with Freya, Osami and Stait. Snow falls slowly around them. Osami shivers a little as she fixes her glasses.
"Where's Arndt?" Freya questions.
"No idea ma'am." Stait checks her rifle quickly.
Suddenly Command is heard over the radio.
"Bravo Six, Arndt just activated her emergency transponder. She's half a klick to your south west, over."
Freya puts a hand up to her ear. "We're on our way. Bravo Six out." She turns to the rest. "Let's go."
Freya takes the lead and the rest follows. Engines roar the distance, getting closer.
"I-I hear engines." Silica calls out.
"Contact front." Stait calls out. "Enemy vehicle."
The squad takes cover behind some trees as they spot a car stop 10 meters ahead, and several enemy soldiers climb out.
"Drop 'em." Freya orders.
The squad open fires, quietly and quickly taking them down. Freya motions forward.
"Move."
They move through the dark snowy landscape.
"Flashlights." Osami spots half a dozen flashlights in the distance, soldiers approaching their position.
"Hold your fire." Freya orders. "Let them get a little closer."
Silica moves behind a tree and leans her rifle against it, as she aims it at the approaching hostiles. They get closer and a minute passes until their nearly right in front of the team.
