Luna had fought almost everything under the galatic sun by this point in her military career. She had fought the monsters of the south, sith, jedi, clones, droids, imperials, republics..yet there was one type of enemy had seemingly slipped through those that had never met the end of her barrel. Cultists. Of course, one could certainly loop the jedi or sith into that idea, but these well and true cultists who believed they were healing..purifying the galaxy. Wonderfully odd, and absolutely horrible. And they had started to launch their attacks quickly and deadly.
The amount of different threats that emerged from seemingly out of the darkness of space had stretched them thin. So much so that a threat such as this one, where it was little more than a ship full of what they assumed to be the virus laden dead hurtling toward a planet, only allowed her to deploy herself and the rest of omega squad, totaling eleven commandos in total, alongside Alpha squad, which only added another twelve. Thankfully for her, there was seemingly some other suicidal karkers ready to throw themselves into the fire.
Standing in the middle of them, the rest of her squad to one side and the three others that had decided to join on the other, she went through the final briefing one final time before they imparted on their mission. “You all know what we’re walking into. Those cultists turned a ship full corpses into walking monstrosities. That virus is headed straight toward Kriselist, and we cannot let it reach the surface or blow apart in the atmosphere. Either would result in catastrophic damage to the planet’s ecosystem.” This was not something that could happen. Not at all. The people of the planet would not be subjected to such a horrible fate if they had anything to say about it.
“To get onto that ship, Mr. Atar will be piloting us to hanger 2B,” she paused, motioning to where the cathar stood off to the side, then continued. “We will establish minimal control of the hanger before pushing forward as quickly as possible to the engine control room, which should not be far from the hanger. There, Alpha squad will be in charge of setting the explosives charges while the rest of us keep them protected. We will then leave the same way we came in, but the escape pods on the second level of the ship are actually close to the hanger should we need to use them.”
Stepping back from the middle, Luna looked to all the faces in the crowd. They were facing something that was beyond practically any of their understanding. A virus that messed one’s mind up so horribly that none could truly comprehend it or bring them back from the edge of the cliff they were on. Perhaps they couldn’t be brought back. Maybe the most merciful thing they could do is banish their souls to wherever they would go after death.
Taking her helmet between her hands, a long breath slipped through her lips before it was flipped, brought over her head and secured. “If there are no questions,” brining the carbine off her shoulder, she made one motion to bring it securely under her shoulder, nodding toward Atar’s ship. “Let’s save a planet.”
