Chapter Fourteen

~ January 23rd, 2287 ~

A noncom on the roof of their assigned building with Lt. MacDonald's team tried the handle of the door, but discovered it was locked. As he waited for one of the Marines to attach explosives, the door suddenly opened outward. The guard might have been sneaking out for a smoke or perhaps hoping to see the situation in the city from a rooftop perch. Whatever his intent, he suddenly found himself staring into the barrels of a dozen laser rifles. He was immediately thrown to the ground and checked for weapons. After being relieved of a pistol and stun stick found on his body, he was stunned with his own weapon and left on the roof to sleep it off.

As MacDonald's team penetrated the building, they split into four pre-designated groups and began moving to their assigned floor in the stairwell. The plan was to begin the attack on the three floors simultaneously. Two fire-teams would clear the top floor and work downward in support of the others as the floors were cleared. The lights appeared to be on throughout the building.

On a signal from MacDonald, all teams opened the doors on their designated floors and rushed into the corridors. Guards on duty reacted quickly to the sudden appearance of the Marines and pulled their weapons, but most died before they could fire a shot.

The top floor of the building was dedicated to offices, and three of the Qummuc guards didn't even have a weapon on their person. They meekly threw up their hands in a gesture of surrender. MacDonald, coordinating the mission from the roof, had the three guards brought to her.

"I want to know where the Yolongi are that were captured at the cave a few days ago."

When none of them spoke, she checked to make sure her external speaker was on and the translator was set to Yolongus. They were.

"Last chance," she said pointing her laser pistol at the guard whose facial expression made him appear to be the one least likely to talk. "Where are the Yolongi who were captured at the cave a few days ago?"

Three seconds later she pulled the trigger, and as the Yolongi guard crumbled to the floor, she pointed her weapon at a different guard and asked the question again. This time there was no hesitation. He answered the question immediately. MacDonald then relayed the information to the team on the second floor before assigning two of her team to bring the remaining two Yolongi guards to the roof and stun them.

"We've got them, L.T.," the team on the second floor reported. "They've been tortured and badly beaten, but they're alive."

"Take them to the roof."

"We've found a couple of Terran males, L.T.," the first floor team reported. "It looks like they've been here for a while. They're on their last legs."

"Bring them to the roof. Carry them if you have to."

"What about the other Yolongis in the cells?" another team leader asked.

"Set all of them free and let them take the guard's weapons.
