“The plane’s already loaded,” the soldier said with frustration in his voice.

“Yeah, with a standard load,” another responded. “Obviously this isn’t just some standard operation.”

“We can’t change the loadout until we are ordered to do so.”

“Fine, then we’ll just sit here and waste time. The incursion started an hour ago, and here we are still sitting here on the ground staring at the rear end of a C-17 with a standard loadout which will do absolutely jack-all for us down there.”

“You boys need to stop arguing!” Colonel Jehovivich yelled as she walked up behind them. She handed them a couple of packets. “Here is your briefing and your list for your new loadout. You are going to be facing upwards of a thousand demons; maybe more, maybe less. I want all the special ammo we have loaded in, along with the new tear gas canisters and grenades. Be careful with this stuff; it’s precious. I also want the Stryker—the one with the mounted autocannons and anti-tank weapons—loaded into a separate C-17. It will land a bit behind us and the guys on that plane will drive it over when it’s time. Is that clear?”

“Yes, ma’am,” the soldiers replied, peering at her.

“Don’t just stand there staring at me, move your asses!”

The colonel rolled her eyes and turned to see four men standing off to the side, unsure where they were supposed to be helping. She recognized the lead, Master Sergeant Morris, from his file. He was a badass, hell-bent on justice, no problem pulling the trigger. His men were the same—all the best of the best. Wilson was probably the most capable medic in the Army and would have to crawl around if he actually wore all his medals on his dress uniform. The colonel walked over to the four of them, and they stopped talking and stood to attention.

“At ease. I know your faces and names from the files. The four of you were the first chosen for this assignment. Do you have any questions?”

Morris cleared his throat and looked at the others. “No, ma’am. We are just eager to get out there and start kicking demon ass...ma’am.”

The colonel smiled. “That’s good to hear, because most likely you will be working alongside me.”

Morris glanced at the others but didn’t say a word. The colonel smirked.

“That’s right…a woman on the front lines, getting down in the dirt with you. You have a problem with that, gentleman?”

“No, ma’am,” they replied in unison.

“Good. Now go help those guys with the new loadout. There are Strykers to load, ammo to get moved, and weapons to stock. I want us out of here in thirty minutes. Do you understand?”

All four nodded and took off toward the plane. Morris stopped and looked at Wilson, who was watching the colonel walk away.

“She’s got some brass ones.” Morris laughed and shook his head. “Not at all worried about fighting alongside her.”

“Not in the least,” Wilson agreed.

The colonel returned to the general’s post, where she found him looking over maps of the town.
