2030hrs Day One Killrock Part 1.1

1.          The Ruins

The Rangers parked their ATT to the north east of the ruins, and left Squad Two behind as support/flankers. Basilus needed Landi skill as a sniper to cover them if they need to run with the tail between their legs. Squad Four went along with Squad Five to the west towards the ruins, to provide cover while Basilus go in at the dome and do the exploration there. Basilus used the Viewer to viewed the ruins and found it to be deserted. He can see the Draconian massed a distance outside the west wall but not among the ruins. He signaled the squad to go in, spread out to seek out any more Draconian.

Mira and Marc went to the platform between the northern wall while Andre and Durant took to the northern east platform. The rest of them went towards the middle dome on the elevated platform. The platform to climbed up the platform and approached the dome. There was a broken section on the dome to its north west side' it could had collapsed due to erosion.

The collapsed section looked down to a large chamber with a dimension of fifty metres wide. On the dome but the lowered chamber was wider. There are some statues standing upright around the inner dome circle at the base of the chamber, with three of them had partially broken off by the collapsed roof.

"Rhonda, Luke; descend to the chamber and move to the west." Basilus pulled Pete to go down with him and head to the east. They have switched their helm visor to provide them infrared view. Intel Officer Moss followed on down with Basilus.  

Beside the three broken statues, Basilus counted nine more statutes with minor damages to the figurines. The statues are all lined up in a circle below the dome, with another row of statues lined up at the rear at the walls. The statue looked like mechanical bots. but with a more human frame look.

"These fit the Khun line of worshiped Idols. They are the first Gods as we know but these are Khun'."Officer Moss explained to Basilus. "This was the Chamber of the Sun Gods. They are the equivalent of Generals in our world. They are claimed to hold the secret to the Khun Warriors."

"Okay. Enough of Khun history." Basilus brushed aside the Intel Officer. He told his squad to climbed out and then rejoined the other squads at the walls. Squad Four decided to move to the southern wall and set up the Eagle there, while Squad Five took the other wall.

"Squad in position. Operation Rogue on." Basilus report in to the General. "Squad Two to take secondary position."

2.          The Night Raid.

Basilus looked at his greave which showed the operation time. It was going to be a long night. He signaled Pete who had armed the Weasel and adjust his body frame to be comfortable. He can see Leader Nur setting up the Eagles and deploying the other squad members to strategic locations. It was time to move the second phase.

"Good luck, Leader." Basilus looked to his trusted Ranger, Mira Torres.

Basilus climbed down the wall with Marc and Luke; while Nur also climbed down with two of her squad. They joined up and used the cover of the darkness to move towards the Draconian at two kilometres away. They were all carrying explosives to sabotage the Draconian armor.

The target of Squad Five were the Vampires which are held at the rear awaiting deployment. They have kept ten of the Vampires not very far from the ruins, while the rest are deployed up ahead. The Vampires in the rear are kept under guard by their own crews and are on alert for attacks.

Squad Four was to target the ammo depot on the south side of the Draconian camp. It was also heavily guarded.
