Day 58, Year 2950...

After Graduation I am getting my fighter. I am also getting my first assignment. This excites me as I get to live and perhaps surpass my father's shadow as I intend to crush all enemies of the UHS. I bemoan my first assignment though, I have to serve on the Daedalus in the Alpha Centuri cluster, that is the most stable region in space. Great I start my career in a boring position that will most likely never see action.

Day 73, Year 2950

I arrive at my first post in the Alpha Centuri battlegroup. I am very unimpressed with the lack of modern ships my carrier the UHSS Daedalus is the newest ship in the fleet at 20 years old. I am also quite frankly disgusted with the lack of military decorum. I see way to much shirking, if this was my command I would have these slobs shot!!!

Day 79, Year 2950

I was briefed on our next situation, the Locusts of Chiron had evovled and lived in the Northern polar cap. This is disturbing, I am also told that this operation is to be of the utmost secrecy. I am likely to be shot if I inform anyone. This off the record mission is to be performed tomorrow.

Day 80, Year 2950

Alright this might get me in serious trouble but you should know about this. At 05:00 I launched into space from the decks of the Daedalus. It took around thirty minutes to get inside the atmosphere. Any faster and my bird would have split. I arrived to the view of the dropships landing. I also saw on the horizon a thick black cloud. I then noticed that those were the Xenogists.

The swarm of bugs was moving rapidly to our troops and with flyers I knew that the ground-pounders stood no chance. I gunned the throttle on my Valkyrie. I was in the cloud and shooting blowing apart the bugs soon my canopy was covered in bug guts. I was very thankful for the fact that I had all the displays I needed in my helmet. After about an hour the guts cleared off and I got full viz. I looked down to the ground. All I saw was a mesh of Green and Red, the bugs didn't usually get close but when they did. I saw a trooper he got caught by one of those things a piece of flesh got stuck in a mandible. I watched this poor sap seeing his own skin rolling into the bugs jaw like spaghetti, unable to do anything but stare in horror! I killed the poor sap. The bug angry at it's lost meat clawed up at me I dropped a retarded bomb into it's jaw everything and everyone in a 20 foot radius was covered in blood and guts.

I also saw a bug getting close to a squad of infantry. It reared up like a spooked horse and tore those poor souls limb from limb in an orgy of blood and pain. A mortar round fell in the vicinity ripping apart the remaining troopers their innards flying a hundred feet in the air. The bug; in four pieces survived, I ended the things misery with a long staffing run shooting it until it disintegrated into small pieces of carapace and flesh.

I overflew a bug assault on some Mk 26 Gorogorath hover-tanks. After the bug ring had piled in a 40 foot pile around the unit they started running out of ammo. I watched in horror as a swarm of bugs climbed over the pile and tore into the tanks like tin cans. The crews abandoned their vehicles detonating suicide charges blowing bugs to my altitude into the air. I jinked to avoid bug parts. I looked down again as vehicle crews emptied their SMGs into the bugs. They like their tanks soon ran out of ammo and were swarmed I saw one get skewered on a leg thrashing about madly until finally entering the jaw and being ripped apart in the garbage disposal mouth of bugs. I rocketed that place to all holy hell before passing on.

I heard over comms "FUCKING HELL; CAN WE GET OFF THIS ROCK BEFORE WE ALL FUKING DIIIIIIIIII....... arrrgh, ach, gurgle!".

"Negative this is to be carried out to the last we can't have people knowing the bugs are back!".

"Where's that second wave we asked for? Pop... Pop... Pop, pop, pop. We're getting toasted out here."

"Negative, we can't land until the plasma bugs stop firing!"

All fighter teams respond, take out those fire bugs! I repeat kill the fire bugs!".

"Alright Silber Team let's roll out!"

"Yes Boss!"

I shouted over the comms "Espada Team let's show 'em how it's done!"

I got only silence I flew to the source of plasma trails. I saw 8 fighters, EIGHT!

"What the fuck happened to our force?"

"ALL DEAD, ALL DEAD!"

Another fighter belonging to Silber crashed into the polar ice. I saw the horrified look on his face. I saw how his hand shone shaking madly.

"Chopper! Please respond, CHOPPER! This is fucked up, why won't this end?"

The speaker's fighter got toasted the pilot disintegrating the comm picked up his death scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"BOSS!"

I flew into a violent rage I shot the beast in their "Jugular" I watched as it screamed and crashed through the ice slowly writhing in pain as it sank through the freezing water to the silent depths below. The others were dispatched. I saw cometfall as the dropships plummeted to the ground trailing tails of flame. In a matter of hours and at the cost of 100 thousand lives we ended the existence of the Locusts of Chiron once and for all.

I flew back to the Daedalus in despair I had become leader of a one man team. Later that day Espada and Silber became one and Espada team had once again 5 Valkyries.
