"You wanted to see me sir" said nervous private Alexander. He had just gotten out of boot camp and was about to meet his new commander. "Oh yes name and rank please" said The war weathered Colonel of Battalion 115. Private Alexander Joe reporting for duty sir. Stop being so nervous and get that arm down there are countless snipers out there who would love to bury an officer. "Sorry sir" said confused Alexander. It's okay son here is your first assignment as our new sniper, don't be as useless as our last one and die in a week without a single kill. "Here is your newest companion" he said handing Alexander the worn Triumph sniper rifle. Now go and kill the Korinthian ambassador before he passes a bill to end all wars.
Alexander arrives at his perch and gets settled into his place as it was going to be a long night. He awoke the next morning to a black armored limousine parked on the street in front of him. He quickly gathered his rifle and aimed onto the well decorated Korinthians' head. He fired his first and only shot and saw the body crumble under his own weight. "Bulls eye" he whispered to himself getting onto his Rebellion interceptor. He arrived at the base and reported to the commander relaying the information from the complete mission.
'Good job private" said the Colonel grinning from ear to ear. I'll introduce you to the battalion gunsmith. He will help you update your weapon with the highest end parts. they walked into the dark hanger and saw a small thin figure sitting at a lighted desk with a Mortalion 16-89 assault rifle disassembled in-front of him. The two walked to the desk and saw him working on the rifle. "Oh Colonel I didn't expect you today I almost have your rifle ready maybe an hour and ill run it to you". That'll be fine Whitley just make sure you have the firing pin in this time so i don't have to use my K-Bar like I did the last time.
"Are you sure that he can get this old beast into working order?" said skeptical Alexander. "Despite his size Whitley here is the best the Army could give us." said the proud Colonel. "Here you go sir I fixed your handle and gave you a poison blow dart in the handle if you need it" said confident Whitley. Ill release you to look around the camp report back to me at 1500 hours for your next mission. If you succeed ill promote you to PFC. Fail and you'll be working in the heads for the next three months. Alexander walked around the camp getting to know all of his brothers and sisters in arms then promptly reported to Colonel Hanook at 1500.
"Here you go Private" said Hanook handing Alexander the folder holding his next target. "A spy from Agartha sir?" said nervous Alexander. You'll be fine son just imagine it's a target on the battlefield. Okay sir ill bury them. He drove to his next target area and found the vantage point in which to shoot the spy. He aimed for about an hour until he saw a nervous Agarthan walk to a bench and sit with a silver briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. "what is this some old Spy film?" said laughing Alexander. The spy looked up to Alex's perch and started to run. "You may be fast but I'm faster" said Confident Alex as he took his shot. He retrieved the briefcase and drove to the base.
"Here you go sir" said proud Alex. "Good job son, I now promote you to Private First Class." said proud Colonel Hanook. Alex walked over to Whitley's bunker and asked him to make his Triumph more powerful and add a silencer. "No problem PFC." said Whitley taking the gun apart and over viewing it. It will be done in a couple of hours and ill leave it with the Colonel. "Thanks Whitley." said happy Alex. "You can call me John, Alex" said happy Whitley. Alex walked to his bunk and fell onto his bunk for much needed shut eye.
"PFC Alex to Colonel Hanooks quarters" boomed the loudspeaker. Alex quickly ran to the Colonel and opened the door. "Yes sir?" said panting Alex. I have a new mission for you" said the smiling Colonel. "Whitley brought your rifle by, nice touches they will come in handy this mission". Alex took he folder and opened it to see a dossier of a rival sniper from the Jungles." You'll need a Colombian HMVE for this mission" said the happy colonel. There's one sitting outside waiting to take you to your position.
Alex arrived at the vantage point and quickly saw his target. He fired two quickly repetitive shots both hitting their target. He jumped down from his perch to the HMVE getting in and driving back to the base. He walked to the Colonel and saw him with other top ranking officials. "Hello sirs'" said proud Alexander. "This is 115's newest sniper PFC Alexander Joe." said proud Hanook looking at his colleagues. "He has only been here two days and has taken out three high ranking targets" The Marine Captain looked at the young PFC with a smile."Hes only a PFC?" said shocked Captain Johnathan David "He deserves to be a Sargent."
"I now promote this soldier to a Sargent in the UKE front forces." said Colonel Hanook. Alexander walked away proudly with the folder of his next target. So he is a formal Imperial Officer who is going to Commence Nuclear Launch throughout the world. He drove to the city of Dova and found the former officer in a nuclear bunker. "Stop now or i will not hesitate to stop you by force" said nervous Alex. The imperial quickly pressed the button and the speaker boomed " Commencing protocol NC-608".
