Girls Frontline: Echelon: 463

Mission 6

"Who the hell are you guys?" Abraham asked the man in the combat outfit leading the three other T-dolls.

"My name is Zero, and I work for artemis. We were in the area, when we noticed the train coming by. Agent here informed us that one of her Sangvis allies Scarecrow had taken over the supply train to east asia forces, so we did the natural, and intercepted the train." he motioned toward the lifeless Scarecrows body. "We will be taking her back for research and gathering intel for future operations, but I see your Thompson T-doll is damaged. We should definitely make sure that's fixed first." Ivankov slowly got up from the ground with an assist from MG5.

"It seems according to reports that were able to get to MG5's systems, the train will reach its destination with the assistance from the mercenaries. Thompson, your friends and allies are in good shape. Besides that, you four can go with Agent Zero here off the train. Good luck. A helicopter to his base should be here any moment now." He said, as the sound of rotor blades hummed above the train. "Seems like your ride is here." A roped ladder dropped down through the roof, and an emergency stretcher lowered in. Abraham and Springfield lifted Thompson onto it, the injury having slowed down its bleeding of the oil through her side. She raised up a little with a slight jerk, a calming hand from Abraham trying to push her back down, but she refused.

"Well, it's so great to hear they are all alright. Although, I can't join em' now. How about I join your band Abraham?" She joked as she rested back down. Abraham nodded, as she smilingly fading into unconsciousness, abraham rushing to check her pulse of her systems.

"She's fainted it seems, but we can fix her up. Its awesome though everyone. Welcome your new member of the echelon." abraham proclaimed to Springfield and Kalash with a smile, who raised a thumbs up at the decision in agreement. Zero popped down from the box where scarecrow was, who was now also being lifted for later needs from the military.

"As you already know, the name is Zero from ARTEMIS. These are my two T-dolls, OTS-14 and RFB. They helped me get in here." Abraham pointed to the maid looking T-doll.

"and she is Agent?" He asked, and Zero nodded.

"Indeed. She is a newer member of my team. Regardless, we should get going, and join your friend Thompson on the helicopter. We are moving over to sicily in Italy to get my home base for ARTEMIS, I suggest you come with me." Abraham glanced over to the others, and they nodded in agreement to the plans.

"Wait. what about those mercenaries that helped us out, that thompson was a part of?" Suddenly the train began to screech, and it came to a stop. The sliding doors of the carriage they were in opened up, and some soldiers and 2 star T-dolls came through, coming to everyone's side. A Blonde haired woman with a flight attendant style outfit came through the door, a machine gun shouldered. She ran over to the hole in the ceiling where the helicopter was , and saluted the helicopter, the familiar face of thompson peeking over the side of the helicopters door, signaling a thumbs up. The woman then ran over to Abraham, helping him up with a solid handshake.

"I'm the commander of the T-doll mercenaries that's been helping this operation. We were able to fight off the sangvis soldiers attacking our positions protecting the trains path, and we stopped the train to see you to make sure everyone was ok. The names M1918 Browning automatic Machine gun, or Browna as my allies call me. Good to meet the Echelon leader in this operation, Abraham." He nodded in approval.

"Thanks, it was a massive help from your group. What did you want with Thompson?" She glanced toward the helicopter, now lifting off with the hurt soldier.

"She is the co-commander of this private military force, and I wanted to make sure she was alright. But, if what Zero told me was true, we won't have her back for a while." she took a deep breath, then took his hand.

"Please. She is my dear friend, and a valuable ally. When you can, bring her back to us, alright? Until then, she will be going with you. She is the finest in our group, and we can't stand to lose her. Thanks your efforts, I think she will make it out just fine." she let go of his hand, a small piece of paper with the word DINGO on it. "She will understand what it means, but until the time comes, Thompson will know what to do with it." Abraham folded the piece of paper, and put it into a battle damaged pocket of his uniform.

"Thank you. I promise she will return to you." Abraham responded, as Browna walked off to help the others. Abraham stood for a second, then ran over to springfield, who had gotten up form the floor with a slight issue, patting off the dust from her shoulders. Abraham hugged her, Springfield gladly returning the gesture. He stepped back slightly, and ran his hand over the bottom of her throat.

"Jesus. We are so lucky that scarecrow bitch didn't do worse to you. Im glad your okay, but those bruises will be there for a little bit." She let out a deep sigh, then promptly slapped Abraham across the cheek with a frown.

"You know, you could have taken down Scarecrow before she did that." pointing over to the box where his KSG shotgun was among the cargo crates. He gasped for a second to make a response, then cut back. "Your going to explain to me later alright? I don't know if its a personal reason or not, but if she hadn't been so cocky, I would be here. You could have shot her or done something. C'mon, we have to go check on the others." They walked over to an unconscious Kalash was was beginning to wake up from her impact in the ground, rubbing her head with a gloved hand, and outstretched to be helped by Springfield.

"Cyka. How did she do that to me, blyat." She cursed, as she breathed out a deep sigh. "So, is this Abraham?" She asked him for a response to their situation, obtaining a simple hmmm from abraham.

"Well, we have been invited to an ARTEMIS base in Sicily by the fellow ZERO over there, so I guess we have to comply. I think we have no choice."

"Agreed." Springfield said, as they walked over to a Browna giving out orders to her soldiers. She turned around to face the trio.

"You guys take of Thompson for a little while for me alright? Me and Ivankov will clean up the situation here, and finish the mission to the east asian front." The grey cloudiness outside of the trains metal atmosphere began to clear out to sunshine, providing a beacon into the train with added warmth. Abraham sighed.

"I can't believe this is over, this crazy mess as a first mission as an Echelon. Crazy." He noted, the others agreeing. "We did amazing, and now we have a new temporary member to the team. Once again, thank you Browna, and I promise we will take care of Thompson for you." She nodded and shook his hand once more, and a second helicopter drifted down the snowy ground outside of the train. The trio picked up their weapons, with springfield looking over to Abraham as they walked out.

"Wait, what about that KSG of yours in the crate?" Springfield asked. He shook his head.

"Don't need it." She parted her lips to continue, but cut back, deciding not to open that box just yet, as they hopped onto the helicopter, waving back at Ivankov and Browna as they lifted off into the skies, soon to join the second helicopter that had picked up ZERO and Thompson.
