EIRE, CITY OF GALWAY (Day +52)

It had been dark for several hours when the shuttle ventured into the northern suburbs of the city of Galway. “Set it down on that five-story building straight ahead,” Irish said. He shifted around again, uncomfortable in the co-pilots seat. Much preferred flying the shuttle himself.

“You got it, Sir.” Nolan slowly lowered them onto the rooftop without a bump.

Two Eagles led Irish off the shuttle and to the roof’s edge before kneeling behind the meter-high wall that ran around the roof. Both were clad in ghillies, leaving their helmets uncovered. Two Eagles had squirreled his set away as had over half the squad. They were all of the same mind. Why get rid of a tool that could still be used in certain circumstances. He flipped up his face shield and sniffed the air. “Y’know, that Nolan character has a faster learning curve for flying than anyone I’ve seen.”

“Thank God for that,” Irish snorted. “I’d rather walk than have one of the Fireplugs fly us.” He scanned the ground below, then the fire escape on the side of the building. “Haven’t seen one of these since I was a kid.”

Two Eagles had unlimbered his Mark IV and was scanning the surrounding buildings. “There, at 120 degrees. The building with the red lights on top. Three stories tall.”

“Yeah, got it.” Irish was also scanning with his rifle’s scope. “Looks to be a kilometer away.” He slung his rifle and ensured his ghillies were covering him before swinging over the edge onto the fire escape.

On the ground, Two Eagles uncovered one hand and led the way at a shuffle-trot towards their target. Being four hours until dawn, the streets were deserted except for the occasional Leg patrol. None made themselves evident during their short trip to the Public Safety and Security headquarters.

They circled the building, on the lookout for any detection systems. On the backside, Two Eagles motioned to the vehicle ramp heading to basement parking. “From what we were told, they bivouac security forces in there. That means when the next change of guard occurs, that gate should be raised. Simple way in, don’t you think?”

“Sounds good to me.” Irish moved against the left wall.

Soon their patience was rewarded when a small van came down the ramp. After a long hesitation, the metal gate raised and admitted the patrol, plus two unexpected guests. Once through the entryway, they slowed their movement. If moving too fast, a rippling effect would show to a sharp-eyed observer. At least fifty vehicles were parked in the garage, only half-filling it.

“Let’s get behind the third vehicle on the right,” whispered Two Eagles.

Irish crouched behind the vehicle, relaxing into a near-trance. He’d gotten too wound up prepping for this mission. It wasn’t the time to hurry, that could lead to mistakes. He reviewed the information they had so far about their targets. Four Legs, two of them officers and two senior NCOs. According to intel reports, NCOs were housed on the north side of the building in the basement.
