Chapter 14

“No contact, moving to grid Q4,” Padma reported in as she referenced the map in her helmet display.

Spaced around her in the darkness, the rest of her team silently tapped her in acknowledgment before she began moving to the next location. Special maps had been created and distributed to each of the search teams, adjusted to accommodate the terrain assigned each. Large flat areas that were easily negotiated, contained more squares than the rough, hilly ground Padma and her teammates found themselves in. It was the exact same spot she had used as overwatch on her last assignment, the familiarity providing a sense of confidence.

Assigned as point, it was her job to pick her way amongst the boulders and crevasses as they searched for any sign of the Alien hideout. Working in the dead of night, they had chosen to use the darkness as an aid in their search. Padma had recalled and the ALICEs confirmed, that the aliens had a slight glow about them when they were in their phased state.

It was that same glow that was her search objective as she moved and then scanned her way along the rocks and ravines. Carefully making her way forward, she knew it was going to be a long night.
