Chapter 6

Sergeant Bobby Jenks watched through the front view port as their shuttle docked with the space station they were supposed to take. The place was big enough for a small force to live up there and work on some kind of scientific study assignment. His people were to get in and reclaim it from rebels then download all the security footage for the past week.

His men stood poised and ready. When the doors opened, they anticipated a firefight. Jenks stepped up into the lead and held his rifle up. The inner hatch slid open and he stepped inside, moving to the edge. Others followed suit, taking what little cover they could. As the airlock closed behind them, the next portal slid to the sides.

Gunshots erupted, firing into the area and slapping the walls. Luckily, the bastards were using ‘safe’ rounds, that couldn’t penetrate the metal of the walls but were thrown quite fast enough to go through human meat. Even with the environmental armor, Jenks knew a single round would be enough to take someone down.

His people returned fire and they initiated a nasty battle. One of his guys took a shot to the face, shattering his helmet and causing blood to splatter the wall behind. Someone inside screamed and Jenks peeked in, taking some shots as several bodies fell to the ground. Marines spilled in, rushing for new cover to get better positions.

The battle raged for almost five minutes before the enemy fled the cargo bay, retreating deeper into the station. Jenks put two men on each of the three doors and called for a roll call. They lost two soldiers in the initial strike, both men shot in the head during the exchange. There wasn’t time to mourn them but that didn’t stop the men from adopting a somber silence.

Jenks checked his scans and plotted the best course to get them through the facility to the center of the station. It would be through some pretty open areas with plenty of doors, lots of space for men to hide in and conduct ambushes. This type of fighting tended to be the nastiest, only matched by brawls in the suburbs. They didn’t have a lot of time and wanted to get through the action as quickly as possible but in order to maintain any level of safety, they needed to check every corner and room.

That meant going slower than any of them wanted, especially considering how fast they could get pinned down in a hallway or a single room even. Jenks organized his people. They loaded the bodies of their fallen onto the shuttle then sent it on its way. When they finished the mission, they’d call for a pick up but for the moment, they were on their own.

Jenks once again took the lead and they moved into the hallway which should’ve taken them to the control room the quickest. He led with his weapon, two men on either side of him and slightly behind. The rest took up the rear, watching out for anyone wanting to dart in on them as they moved along.
