Chapter Six

Makeshift camp of the Chappys Howling Siegers

In front of the SLDF Warehouse

7 March 2785

Major Keller could hear faint sounds like voices underwater, as his senses started to focus back to reality the first thing he noticed was the blindfold, the second was the handcuffs. Damn he thought I am a prisoner to these mercenary scum, F me.

Major, the prisoner is awake the guard announced into his hand radio. Roger, I will be there in just a second.

As Major Chapman walked into the makeshift brig he looked at the guards name tag. thanks Sergeant Kalmar, I would like to talk to the militias commander in private.

Yes Sir

Major Chapman opened the cell went over to Major Keller and took the blindfold off. Major Keller we have a lot to talk about. Keller was shocked and confused at the same time, he recognized this merc, but where and how, he just could not put his finger on it. Chapman could see the look of confusion on Kellers face,

You look like a man in a confused state of mind. I am Major Chapman commander of the Chappys Howling Siegers former member of the SLDF my father is Admiral Chapman I believe that he was a delegate a few years ago here on this planet I was a Lieutenant and part of his staff at that time, you were a Lieutenant also and aid to the governor.

Confusion was lifted as Major Keller realized that was how he had a recognized Major Chapmans face.

What in the hell are you doing here.Major Chapman

Looking for something, a warehouse that belongs to me.

Major Keller looked at Chapman with disgust. If there was a warehouse it does not belong to you.

Wrong answer Major Keller, as a former member of the SLDF and current employer of ComStar which by order of General Kerensky became the owners of all SLDF assets still left here.

Bull crap, merc scum, that warehouse belongs to Helm.

Listen to me Major Keller we are setting charges to the door right now I would rather you open it, since you changed the code. If I dont do this and figure out what is inside, ComStar will send someone else and I doubt they will be friendlier.

Go to hell merc I dont care what your pedigree is.

Major Chapman took out his hand radio, ok blow it

With that a big explosion happen spitting up dirt pushing it inside the tent that they were in. Major Chapman looked at the militia commander, sorry the hard way it is then and then he walked out with Major Keller yelling at him.

As Matthew walked toward the big hole in the metal doors he issued orders to start taking inventory of everything to his commanders which were the only ones allowed into the warehouse, the less people that knew what was or was not in there the better Matthew thought.

The warehouse ended up being huge with several levels of storage and each level was several kilometers wide. There were some porotypes of mechs and some kind of body armor, that Matthew had never seen. Cache of weapons and supplies that would rival any base on Earth, there were hundreds of mechs mothball that he did recognized. There were also software updates and a vast bay labeled memory core.

In front of the SLDF Warehouse

15 March 2785

After almost a week of going through the warehouse and learning what was in there Matthew had a decision to make and this was a decision that he could not make alone. With that in mind he called his inner circle to discuss it. Captain Pople, Captain Bruce, and Captain Tournier all sat around the small card table pretending to play cards but the news that Major Chapman just gave them stunned them. Are you sure that is wise Chappy? Captain Bruce adjusting his sling from his broken collar bone he received in the last battle.
