00:00 hrs Day One on landing at Killrock
1. The mesa named Flat Top.
The figure dragged his weary body across the sands and pushed away at the boulder. It moved slightly on his push and then he was able to squeezed himself through. Once inside, he pulled back at the boulder back to its original position. He turned around and found himself facing the muzzle of the PH450.
"Its me, Kirov." He pushed the barrel away and dragged himself into the tunnel. Guards Kirov was one of Guards but during the attack he was at the Settlement. Chief Stewart was at the mine when he saw the invasion. He ran for one of the mobiles and rode it to the Settlement skirting the Space Port. He was worried about his daughter there that he did not notice the Draconian scout who was hiding behind the large boulder. The scout took down the mobile causing Stewart to fall down. His fall caused him to fall unconscious. When he woke up, the Chief was greeted by the large explosion in the skies. He tried to get up, but his left leg was wounded in the fall. It was bleeding at the shin with a wide gash. Stewart dragged himself to the Settlement. On the way there, he was met by Kirov who took him to Flat Top.
"Chief, I know of a hidden spot. Come with me." That was how Kirov had hidden with the Chief during the invasion. The cave was rich in metal mineral and it distort sensors reading. Kirov found this place in one of the search tasks and had it recorded for emergency uses.
The Chief pulled his injured leg along and sat down by the wall. It was his fifth attempt to locate his daughter but there were no signs to report on her. He looked at his new haven in this land. His tears flowed on remembering his daughter but he would not give up. Suddenly he heard the drone of the engine and then the sound of crashing. Kirov grabbed his PH450 and ran to the cave entrance
"Its on the top. Something landed there." Kirov point to above them. "I would go and check but you stay here."
Chief Stewart wanted to follow but weary muscles will not move at all. He just sat there watching Kirov moved the boulder to leave.
2. The rogue landing.
When the carrier carrying the 5th Squad was about to land, it was hit by missile launched by a Draconian scout causing its navigation system to be recalibrated for another location. It landed on Flat Top instead of Large Flat but the surface on Flat Top was not that flat for smooth landing; it had craters and small mound of surface. The carrier overturned and skid on the surface.
"Micheal, we would break the squad into two sections as agreed. Our mission are as usual; we go rogue." Going rogue to them was mean going on recon and destruction. "Micheal, you take the direction down from here, while I used the higher elevation to recon more."
It was then Ranger Ante walked up to them.
"Squad Leader, we are on the wrong coordinates. We are on the adjacent mesa named Flat Top." Basilus looked at his left greave and punched in the codes. Ranger Ante was right and they have been screwed.
"Micheal, proceed as planned. I would clear the mesa of any Draconian." Basilus note the second section proceed on their way. He then looked at Ranger Ante and told him to take point.
"You two cover the flank; spread out five metres distance." Ranger Gareth and Winslow nodded and adjust their distance while the rest distance themselves in between.
"Leader, we have made contact." It was Micheal.
