"The Hercules' have turned back, Ma'am, seven kilometers out."<br />
Lady <strong>Windstar</strong> breathed a sigh of relief at that, but not much of one. The helicopters, as<br />
expected, had left a few minutes ago as well. She studied the crimson dots slowly moving in the<br />
holo tank before her. Each of those represented American spec ops, or perhaps a Marine, or even<br />
a SEAL she supposed. They were making their way in the darkness towards the base from East,<br />
through the grass.<br />
"Whoever's leading them knows his stuff, Ma'am. Look at the way they've got the main body out<br />
here, as a decoy I bet. Trying to get us to focus on it, so this one can slip through."<br />
Emily's lips twitched slightly in what could have been a slight grin and nodded in agreement<br />
with the Major standing besides her.<br />
"It probably would work, if we didn't have each and every one of them pegged on sensors. Who<br />
do you have available to wrap these guys up and get them to surrender without too much fuss?"<br />
The Major considered that with a small frown then grinned. It was all the more disturbing a grin,<br />
Emily thought, since the Major's face was one, which was naturally inclined to frown.<br />
"I think I have the perfect team already on base Ma'am. They're here waiting for transport to<br />
Mars Base for more training. I think they would do very well indeed."<br />
Deep blue eyes narrowed as the First Guardian looked up from the Holo tank at the grinning<br />
Major.<br />
"Oh? Who exactly is in charge of this team of yours?"<br />
"God."<br />
Emily couldn't help but join the Major in grinning at that.<br />
"Oh yes, that will do perfectly."<br />

Katya was completely unaware that she was grinning fiercely as she moved her powered battle<br />
armor through the dark night. Her sword of troops was deployed behind her and to her flanks in a<br />
perfect semi circle. High overhead, her suit's sensor suite tracked the fighters, which were<br />
keeping station high above her. Air cover, she was positive, was not going to be a problem this<br />
time at least.<br />
"Hey, God, I've got them on my sensors. Two clicks and closing."<br />
Katya's grin widened as she looked at the sensor data being relayed to her.
