Assassins of Rainbow

Chapter 9

(Excalibur PoV)

A couple weeks later we had fully moved in, Spare Dorms, by like a lot. 5 different offices, 1 of which was Six's and 2 of which were mine and Shannon's, which we rarely used. Although it was nice to have them. The other Operators were still getting healed and were out of action. And whilst the SAS have retaken Hereford base for themselves. We had pretty much moved them all here. and the best thing of all. We are on a Sentinel controlled Island. Which means if we get attacked, I have the authority of protecting our citizens to fight back. Which means pulling out the big guns, and not the counter-terrorism ones. I had told Six this and she seemed pretty pleased.

I was walking through a hallway when I saw two Sentinel Veterans getting berated by 5 rainbow Recruits. I laughed and walked up to them. The Sentinel Veterans stood at attention once I walked up. They knew who I was. The Rainbow recruits looked confused at this.

"At ease soldiers, if they carry on Berating you. Knock them out. I'll have a talk with them all later about this." I said, the Veterans stared at each other with mischievous Grins. Before turning around to the Recruits cracking their knuckles. The recruits got cocky and said, "So you listen to an Operator but not to us? I need to talk to your leader to get this sorted, as we are better than you."

Before the Veterans started their fight back I walked up to the recruit.

"You wanted to talk to their leader, well here I am." I said, the recruits now know they have fucked up when I signalled the Vets to continue. They tried to run. Tried being the key word. I helped the Vets drag the recruits towards the Med bay. I forgot how big this place was, and Doc looked like he was in heaven.

"Hereford never had this technology." He said, looking at it all. It was his first day back in the job. "I pulled some strings and got some tech from Sentinel to help us in our fight." I mentioned. He looked at me with a thankful stare, "Je vous remercie, mon ami. (Thank you, my Friend.)" he said, to which I smiled and patted his back. "Anytime, we are the best of the best, we need the best equipment." I said, the Vets had placed the Recruits on the Med Bays then quickly saluted before leaving.

"Did they just salute you?" he asked, "Yeah, I'll explain in a bit." I said, walking out of the Med Bay, walking directly towards Six's office.

"Six, can I ask you a question?" I asked, "Sure, go ahead." She said, "Can you call a meeting, all Personnel. And I mean all. Sentinel, recruits, Maintenance, Operators. Everyone." I asked, she nodded and spoke into the microphone, "[Can all personnel please report to the Main hall, I repeat, All personnel. Thank you.]" she signalled me to walk with her, "So what is the meaning of this?" she asked, "Some recruits were berating some of my men. So I'm telling everyone to not allow this shit to carry on." I simply replied. We walked to the Main hall and I saw ever personnel in the massive hall. And I mean Massive, it had to be. There were at least 100 Recruits. I know there were 500 Sentinel Veterans. 50 Doctors, 50 Nurses, 50 Maintenance staff, every operator and the cooks, who were stood there confused because they never get called to these meetings.

"Can we have your attention please, and can Anubis please come up to the Front." Six asked, Anubis walked up and stood next to me, she whispered to me, "What is this?" I answered, "We are telling them who we are, and what happens to recruits when they fight Sentinel or who they have sworn to protect." I answered. She nodded.

"Now, Excalibur here has some words she needs to say." Six finished, signalling me to step forwards. There were some quick laughs from the recruits. When I cleared my throat and took off my Helmet and Balaclava.

"Some of you know, I am Megan Streicher. Marius's younger Sister. But I am also an assassin, who was kidnapped and made into a ruthless killer by an organisation known as Shadows. When I escaped with Anubis here. we decided to team up and start a PMC. That PMC is known as Sentinel. As some operators have asked why they Salute me and Anubis as we passed, this is why. Because we are their Leaders." This gained some surprised gasps from people.

"Now I am here to say this, I have personally worked with every Sentinel Veteran here, so I know their abilities and their mindset. None of them will speak if tortured or hesitate to kill if they believe the people they protect are in danger. Now this is something I am saying directly to you all. They will not hesitate to knock you out if you are preventing them from doing their job. 3 recruits are already in the infirmary because they were trying to provoke 2 of our men. This is a warning to everyone, they have the permission to use non-lethal force against you. Anubis, do you want to chip in?" I asked, walking away from the Mic so she could walk up.

"Only a few know this, but I am Shannon Redliner. An Egyptian. However I went through everything Megan did. And yes I am also the Leader of the Sentinels. And I agree with what Megan said, and I can see the majority of the room does. And by majority I mean everyone except the Recruits." She said, looking at the disgruntled Recruits. "But, I do hope you all love this new base, as it is the new Rainbow HQ, and is more secure than sentinels main HQ, Kinda." She replied, "If you have any problems please tell us. And we will put them in consideration. However I believe that is all I have to say." She said, walking away from the podium, Six walked up, "There will be two new Operators joining us soon, both from a PMC called Nighthaven. So I will inform you about them when they actually arrive. I believe this is the end of this meeting, you all can go back to your duties. And Thank you again to Sentinel for allowing us to stay in this base." The gathered personnel of this base had dispersed.

"I do have a question for you two, What is this base called?" Six asked, I looked at Shannon and she answered, "It was called Origins. As this was the first base of Sentinel and the Origins of this Island." She finished explaining, "Origins, it's an ok name. Better than Hereford." Six said, walking away. I looked at Shannon and simply said, "Nighthaven? Didn't we work with them once?" she simply nodded, "I wonder if Jaimini is one of them. That Sniper would be helpful." I said before walking my own way.
