June 7th 25 2553


The Project Freelancer Agent  James , Oregon, Wilson swims trough the water of the planet  Aquatos. The deep water was pitch and only thanks to his Helmet mounted LED flashlight could he see where he was going. Around him was the members of three teams of Agents. Delta led by Robert better know as North and was a good friend. Alpha led by Agent Alaska and the overall commander of this mission and the only female member assigned to the mission. The last team posted to the mission was Jame's own team fireteam sentinel. One other agent was present who was not in a team and that oak who James had a less that great partnership with.

The objective of this mission was to capture Ultra Corp personal located in a base on one of the few land masses of the mostly ocean planet and to bring them back to their own base the frigate mother of invention. The secondary which Jame's own team was tasked with was the removal of this base. This was a normal op for all the teams and should not be hard. The teams had the element of surprise. 

"thirty seconds go silent." Alaska said over the com. In response James kill the com on his suit a striped down version of the mark VI Recon armor it was light and strong perfect for the top sniper of the program.  The infiltration point was a sewer grate which most of the agents were less than happy with. Thanks to the map given them by the intelligence team the field team was able to head to their targets. North and James ripped the gate open and swam  in the massive pipes.

Going down the pipe made the agents less than happy as the members of the delta north and wash followed James and sentinel till they hit their target a large empty  warehouse.  James pushed a small fiber optic  camera through the small hole he made.

"We are clear"*He pushes open man hole cover and entered the warehouse which as their inlet said was  clear of hostiles and civilian workers. James opened his hard case and pulled out his weapon of choice. A m-2 coil carbine a prototype semi-automatic 7.62 X 51mm  coilgun created by Sentinels small RnD team and placed a ten round box mag to the underside and powered the coils. He motioned at wash and his teammate arsenal to cover the doors and he opened it. James hugged the wall as he moved down the massive hallway that made up part of the water treatment system on this Island. A armed guard appeared down the hall and was hit by the suppressed  rifle of north.    

"team two proceeding to objective "Jame's spoke into the radio and the team went down the hall towards a large elevator which according to lights on the side was coming down. James motioned to his team to take positions and make ready to engage the people coming down the shaft. About two minutes later the doors split open and a pair of what look like marines exit the    elevator and are quickly dispatched by Jame's coil-gun and the team entered the lift to head for their objective.   

James watched the hallway as he backed into the rather large elevator. His team fell inside and north hit the button to start heading for the sub bay. Arsenal leaned on the wall as it did so and spoke out,"I don't like this mission."James looked back and spoke,"and you think i do. Command never listen to us you know that. If I  had my way I would have just blasted the island from orbit." The elevator dinged and the door began to open. James made a quick motion on his fist calling the team to move forward with Arsenal and his shotgun at the front. The team quickly moved towards the next junction where a squad size unit of marines were standing guard at a door and open fire suddenly. "CONTACT!!!! HOSTILE FORCES CENTER " James yelled at full force. A firefight quickly endures as the two sides rush to cover. The marines the agents were fighting seemed to the best in the rebels army as their shots are too close for comfort James and Arsenal are well ahead of the rest and pinned down. James quickly set the sights on his rifle to close range and aimed at a steam pipe which burst upon being shot."FALL BACK WE ARE OUT GUNNED!!!"The two delta team members went down the hall. However as James tried to move he was hit twice in the back and fell.
