“Stand by,” Tomiko passed on the P2P.

“What’s the situation?” Rev asked.

“Possibly three bad guys. This should be a walk in the park for your chosen ones,” Tomiko said, the sarcasm clear in the transmission.

Rev loved the woman, but she hadn’t liked the idea of a “special action” team. And he knew she particularly didn’t like the fact that after her platoon had cleared the rubble of enemy, it was now Rev and his team who were going to swoop in and take the glory.

Still, he appreciated the heads-up. She was giving him the best chance at success.

Rev turned to his three troopers and gave the signal for “get ready.”

Despite himself, Rev was becoming excited, and his warrior self was stirring. The captain was acting outside the box—way outside. Rev knew this had initiated with the first sergeant. The FIS army wasn’t among the strongest in the galaxy, but they had a reputation as being innovative. Regardless of whether it was her idea or the skippers, White Eagle had put a lot of trust in Rev to head this concept.

And as Rev did not want to be saddled with the company gunny duties 24/7, he was bound and determined to make it work even with the lack of training time.

The three troopers had trained together on the range and in one of the four simulators on the base that had managed to escape destruction. Brizzi had emerged as their leader, which wasn’t surprising given his expertise and experiences. But despite the captain’s assurances that Rev would also have time to train, his duties as company gunny had taken the vast bulk of his time. With the company building back up, and with the almost certainty that they’d be heading out again, he barely had enough time to blow his nose, much less get into the field. What little time he’d managed had come at the cost of sleep and in trying to get word about his family.

But the exhaustion was gone in the adrenaline surge as “Team Pashu” readied itself for action. They knew all eyes were on them.

“Alpha-Seven, you are a go,” the captain passed on the company net.

“This is it. We know what we’re doing, so let’s get it done.”

It wasn’t the most profound pep-talk, but these three were professionals. They didn’t need him to get themselves motivated.

They moved forward in a diamond, with Tiwari on point. He was armed with the M-103, a buckshot grenade in the chamber. Rev had considered taking the lead, given his quicker reflexes and firepower, but the captain had frowned at the idea.

The four moved quickly along the side of the ruined buildings, using the rubble as cover. Given a choice, Rev would rather have them in PAL-5s, the same as he used when he was a Raider. The PAL-HX was a hellacious piece of combat gear, and he was alive today because of his. But this mission was more of a quick strike operation where speed and flexibility were going to make the difference.
