Task Force 423

4 and a half hours later 1730 Hours

When we got back to the city, Baker already set up a bunker, and some housing areas. When I asked him about the hologram, he told me it was a launch code and the martians plan to bomb the planet. He also told me that he found a radio, and that he signaled the military to send support. But they won't be able come for at least another week. "Well, we have the guns, but Miller's injured," I tell Baker,

"Well I'll bandage him up, but you need to set up some blockades and turrets." About an hour later martian inquisitor group podded down to the surface, one of them got a good look at us and opened fire upon us almost immediately.

"Get Miller to cover, I'll fend em' off!" I open fire on the inquisitors and kill 3, the other one charges after me. He jumps on me with a knife to my throat. I look him in the eyes he puts pressure on the knife, until... Bang! I looked behind me and saw Miller with a pistol in his left hand and a sling on the right.

"Thanks man, you alright?" I asked

"Fine, just a flesh wound." He says with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

"If you boys are done having a moment there could be more Greys on the way, so set up more defenses!" Baker yells, just then a Martian super mutant drops down from the ship.

"Uh-oh." Miller peeps.
