After me and T-Rave departed the briefing room we’d gone down to the Armoury, we stripped ourselves of our gear and then headed up to the showers. The hot water felt nice against my bruised and battered body. After we had relaxed a little bit and cleaned ourselves up we’d received a message saying to meet General Weber up in briefing room 11. I guess the military didn’t screw around that much, they most likely assigned a General at random just to finish up the mission.

We open the briefing room door. At the head of the table is a short pudgy man, he doesn’t have the neatly cropped hair like most Generals do. Instead, It’s ragged and uneven all over his wrinkly head.

“Ah gentlemen, you’re finally here, sit,” he wheezes out, motioning with his arm to two seats beside him.

We sit without question. The man sitting beside me looks ancient, his appearance suggests he’s around a hundred years old.

“Now, let’s begin shall we?” He says.

“Yes Sir,” I say through force of habit.

“Now, it has come to my understanding that your previous mission was you two following the orders of General Anders, is that correct?”

“Yes Sir. Sir, if I may speak freely?”

“Be my guest.”

“I thought this debriefing was about the mission, not who was issuing orders at the time.”

“It is about both; we need to know if Anders was sending you out there for the purposes of the military, or his own.”

“Well, in my opinion Sir, I think it was for the good of the planet, we took down a serious threat, that compound was harvesting Thopium to use against us, and we took it out.” I say.

“Did Anders ask you to do anything that seemed odd at the time? As if the orders that he was giving you didn’t make any sense?” Weber asks.

“No Sir, the orders that we received made perfect sense,” I reply.

T-Rave cuts in, “Sir, what exactly happened to Anders?”

“He is locked up for the time being, we are having some of our best interrogators coming here to question him.”

“Isn’t that taking it a little too far Sir?” I say.

“We have no idea what kind of information was exchanged between the two parties, and we won’t know for sure until we get some answers from him.”

“Understood Sir.”

“Now that we have gotten that out of the way I need to know the details of your previous mission.”

“Yes Sir, we got our briefing by General Anders, then we departed and met up with Krystil Aakia and Jayon Cofield on the flight deck, we then departed for the Kelownial Rain forest. We almost got to our destination unnoticed, however we weren’t so lucky, myself and the Captain took one of Cofield’s escape ships and entered combat with the oncoming scout ships. We took a few of them out before getting shot down and crashing almost two dozen clicks away from our original drop point.”

“And the good Captain didn’t think it would be good for the sake of the mission to mount a rescue and take you to the actual destination?” Weber cuts in.
