Aftermath of the Call

The Word Goes Around

2:55PM

"Alright guys." Gideon stood up from the bleachers. "We gotta get to the conference booth, topside."

"Let's go!" Scorpion said.

We all then stood up from the bleachers and walked away. A basketball player two finger saluted us as we walked out, I saluted them back.

We strutted our way to the conference booth, Irons was in the glass enclosed room. Irons acknowledged our presence and gave a hand gesture to come into the room.

"Welcome guys, you are 1 second early." Irons said. "Have a seat, anywhere is fine."

I looked down at my watch to just about see the time go from 2:59 to 3:00PM. I guess he's very strict on what he does in his position of his army. 

I took a seat right next to Rachel and put my hands under the table on my lap. I waited for the last person to sit down, and that person was Foxcroft.

"Alright so, we are expected to be attacked by evening, when it gets dark. I've already sent the word out to all the other people in this campout. The people are going to stay in a bunker south of here just 5 blocks away, I've sent a defense team to carefully defend the bunker."

"Why are some people still here then?" Scorpion asked.

"They are already ready." Irons stated. "They are just here to help or stall a little bit before things get worse."

"What about the Terran and KVA." I asked. "Do you know where they are located now?"

"Judging by the global heatmaps, the last known location of their presence was at Vermont, but they can get here earlier than expected." Irons stated. "Like I said, they should be expected to land here by evening when it's dark."

"We will expect heavy resistance then, right?" Foxcroft asked.

"Oh yes, definitely." Irons said. "But our team's got it, you guys are doing something else. That is why I brought you guys over here."

"What are we doing?" Mitchell asked.

"There will be a piece of intel we need to extract him alive." Irons said. "He is a scientist and the engineer of manticore, his name is Pierre Danois. You guys will go behind enemy lines to try to scoop this guy out. He is guaranteed to be with the KVA, and he is going to be here."

"We need him for what?" I asked.

"We need him to get to the leader of the KVA, his codename is Hades." Irons said. "We need to get rid of him. So our world will come in peace."

"Alright, so what do we got?" GIdeon asked.

"Well, we got us, and our weapons." Irons stated "Your weapons if you remember still in your chopper that brought you here, we never touched them. You have permission to equip your weapons inside the perimeter. Regroup at sundown so around five in the evening. Alright? Dismissed."

"Alright." Gideon clapped in acknowledgement and stood up from his chair and walked to the door. 

"Let's get our weapons and we can stall." I said.
