*Viriato returns to New Lusitania. He lead the attack to the 3 places where were using slaves and kiddnaped people to work as prostitute. He commanded himself the delta team to attack to one place, on the outskirts of Port Canaria, where even children were used. The attacks were made simultaneously with power and strenght. Many died but on the casualties there wasn't one single inocent. 43 persons, including 12 minors were brought to New Lusitania. All were seen on the medical facilities but all look ok ... at least physically. After a brief moment with the love of his life, Ana, Viriato went to the control room*
- Viriato - Greetings to all! (smiling) Once again the Gods were on our side. Reports!!
- Joao - All targets were burned down. No casulaties and we made a clean service.
- Nuno - Yes! Acording my sources on the local authoraties they don't have a clue who made this. It was a very fast military action, and they don't know who may done this.
- Viriato - Good news! we can pass to the another phase of the plan!
- Joao - And the place on Port Jackson?!!
- Viriato - That ... it will take some time! News?!
- Nuno - Doc Holiday didn't responde to your message! We don't know if he will help us on the assault on the camp!!
- Viriato - Damn!!!
- Joao - I told you that he wouldn't help us! What a few men on horses and rifles could do?!
- Viriato - We will wait! Until then we will attack the artic camp!! More news?!! Henrique?!
- Henrique - Welll ... good news is that your vehicles are ready to use! Also New Lusitania is running like we plan.
- Viriato - Good! Bad news?!
- Henrique - Well ... GMG gave to OSi and rtaz and Omicroners a very lucrative job, as a thanks to their help and increasethe commerce!
- Viriato - But we were the first to help then and every day our ships take deuterium to they! How you know that?!
- Henrique - Vasco reported. He talked to Aomori commodities trader and to a Zoner group member.
- Viriato - Nevermind!! If all bad news were like this ones it would be great! Ok then... i have to send some messages and i'm very tired!! We will continue this tomorrow!
- Joao - And about Doc?!!
- Viriato - You are right!! I will send him a message!!
*All leave the room except Viriato that stayed to send some messages*
*********************************************************************
* Somewhere on the Artic Circle on Gran Canaria, Viriato joins convoy that will support and retrives all slaves from Camp 2*
- Viriato - Delta team report!
- Delta leader on a heavy storm - We are in position! The storm began less then 10 minutes, and all slaves are in their quarters and the guards are inside the buidlings!
- Viriato - Good! Move in. We will be there in less then 15 minutes!
- Delta leader on a heavy storm - Roger that!
- Viriato to convoy - Let's go!
*The convoy departures on a still clean skies
But not for long! Few minutes later the convoy also was hit by the storm!
- Joao - We are close!
- Viriato - Yes we are!! Check the position of the Lusitano!
- Joao - This is Delta Gold to Lusitano come in!!
- Afonso on board of the Lusitano - This is Afonso we are in position.
- Joao - Good Afonso! Hold you position until furher notice.
* The convoy arrives to the location, still uncever by the storm*
- Joao to Delta team - This is Delta Gold , come in Delta!
- Delta leader - This is Delta leader we are in position! We are waiting for the order!
* Joao looks to Viriato, he maes the signal to Joao to go*
- Joao to Delta team - Delta you have a go!
- Delta leader - Roger that! Moving in!
- Viriato - This is Viriato to convoy! Delta is striking we are moving in!
*Delta inflitrates and start making the first kills, using weapons with supressors and also coverd by the noise of the storm, they arrive to building where the slaves were and protect all perimeter*
- Delta leader - This is Delta leader, we are in place!
- Viriato - This is Viriato to all, GOOO!
* The convoy rushes to the Camp, on the front, heavy fighting vehicles start shooting the gards at the gate. while from the space, the Lusitano starts to bombard position on the Camp. The guards are taking by surprised with no reaction time. The convoy enters the Camp and goes directly to the building where the slave are! Delta enters the building and starts evacuting all to the trucks that were waiting outside. Viriato gets out, call 4 Delta soldiers and goes to a small building near! They arive the door, a Delta member put some explosives and blow the dor, they enter quicly the building, that looks deserted. They avance slowly with Viriato at the front, they get close to a close door and Viriato stops ... Viriato puts his hand gun on the holster... puts in front of the door .. and gives a strong kick that opens the door where a slaver was hiding. Very fast Viriato hits him hard on the face and throat leaving him with no reaction, takes his gun and shoots him on the head. This action was so fast and well executed that the Delta team members that were with Viriato were amaze!*
- Viriato - To the trucks!
* All went to the trucks were almost all slaves were already there, one was helping all others to enter the trucks, it was their leader*
- Slave leader - I don't know who you are but ... i don't know how to thank you!!
- Viriato - If we get out of here fast it would be great!!
* The man smiles and enters the truck. With all aboard, slaves and Delta, the convoy exits the camp*
- Viriato to Afonso - Afonso burn it all!!
- Afonso - Roger that!
* Afonso orders the total bombardement of the camp, the mortar fire of the Lusitano, completely destroys all leaving nothing standing. 1 hour later the convoy enters the transport ship and heads to New Lusitania*
* Already on New Lusitania, Viriato and Joao receives the news, Alpha and Beta are ready to strike camp 3 and 4! Alpha even are inside camp 3 while Beta are almost there! Viriato spots Ana, she was helping the formers slaves, ... so beautifull, but there is no time*
- Viriato - Unload all this vehicles with snow camuflage and bring the others, we are going now!
* All teams prepare, and on Delta team some whispers ... the soldiers that went with Viriato to the building where telling to the others what they saw. They couldn't believe what he did, where did he learned to do that, they were saying. But there were no time, all went to change combat suits, while Viriato went to the control room*
*Viriato is on the hangar of the Lusitano, in front of him lies the body of Joana, the beautifull girl from the tactical Delta team that serve as bait to the kiddnappers. It his her memorial service! Both three teams are there and Delta is making the Honor Guard, and Viriato is silence because he don't know what to say! But what lead to this begun three days ago.
After the taking of camp 2 by Delta, camp 3 and 4 were next. They weren't easy targets, they were near each other and that means that they had to be taken at the same time. Camp 3 was less dificult, it was smaller and the prisioners building was far from the the rest and close to landing platform, so the plan was simple, Alpha would enter the camp, take the guards near the building and the landing platform while the Lusitano form space would burn the rest to the ground, and then a Dromeday class ship would land and take all out to safety. Camp 4 was very diferent, it was much bigger and with more people and the building where the prisioners were was too close of the remain buildings, so the plan was that Beta would enter the camp by sea, like Alpha on camp 3, and take down the guards near the prisoners buildings and protect then, while from space the Caravela, a Fearless class ship, would target the main defences and the rabelo, a Conference class ship, would give support fire above the camp, while a convoy of combat vehicles and trucks would storm the camp, with IFVs at the front and armoured attacks vehicles behind carrying delta team that would give protection to the several trucks to extract all prisioners. All went well ... camp 3 was burning thanks to the batleship turrets of the Lusitano, while camp 4 despite of all difficulties was going well. Viriato was with Delta on camp 4. Suddendly a shot that luckly noboady is hit, immediately Viriato ordered two vehicle to move forward to cover that expose flank, but another shot is fired and hits a prisioner injuring badly, Viriato moved to the front, he took his long percision rifle that he always carried but never used .. looks to a point ... shoots one shot and and walked away ordering to continue the extraction, all were amazed but not one more shot was fired to that location. All went acording to plann and at the total nearly one thousand people was saved.
Few hours late all arrived to New Lusitania, all former prisioneres were accommodated, but some whispers started to be heard about what Viriato did that day and on camp 2. Henrique went to talk with Viriato, New Lusitania was full, too many people were there even the first ones to be saved, Viriato said that after camp 1 be taken all ere safe to go home. Ana also appears, Viriato was expecting a smile and a kiss but no, Ana ws very angry*
- Ana - I want to talk to you!!
- Viriato - What?!
Ana: What are you doing?! The soldiers are saying that you do things that they even can't do! Where did you learn how to shoot like that?!
* Viriato didn't knew what to say but Joao went to the rescue*
- Joao - Viriato i have some good news! There is a huge storm over camp 1 and all personel including the prisioners are inside the buildings. It is a good oportunity and we can strike as soon the storms ends. We can be there in less three hours and ready to strike!
- Viriato - Good! Gather the teams, give order to reload and to move! *to Ana* I have to go!
- Ana - Don't even think that you are escaping me again! *and she walks away*
*Viriato looks to Joana, she was so beautifull and funny, but wasn't for her good looks that she earned that place on Delta team. But before saying something Viriato remember the day before.
It was somewhere on Gran Canaria, and was the attack on camp 1. After the sucess of camp 3 and 4, on the same night, taking advantage from the bad weather conditions, the attack on camp 1 was ordered, but the plan was changed. The original plan was since it was located on a valley and all prisioners were located on the midle, an infiltradtor team would take the guards and guard the the center of the camp while one armoured convoy would storm from the north and another from the south with fire support from space and above camp, but since there was a big storm and all were inside buildings the new plan was simple, from the south a huge armoured convoy would storm the camp supported by Lusitano, that would burn all north part, and the Caravela that would take all major defences from the south while he Rabelo would give fire support from above. Stike hard and fast was the main tactic. And so it happen, when the heavy rain stpped, an huge fire rain hitted the camp. Many guards didn't even had time to simple awake from their sleep. All was going well, the convoy reaches the center, the some guards are taken by the teams and all prisoners started to enter the trucks, but ... it happend! Viriato was inside of a attack vehicle, he didn't took part of the attack by advise of Joao, to see if the whispers about his actions would end, but he saw it all. While entering a truck, a small children drops a small ball that rolled to some distance, the children immediately went to get it, Joana saw it and went to get the children, but the ball went close to a fallen guard that wasn't death, when she reached the children she took it and the ball but the guard takes his gun and at so close range he fires a shot. Viriato as soon he hearded that sound, he left the vehicle and went to the place where she was fallen, the guard was immediately killed and the children was taked to a truck with his parents. Viriato knelt near the the death body of Joana, he took her him his arms to a truck protected by all members of Delta. When all were in the vehicles, all left the camp and the camp, like all others was burned to the ground.
Few hours later all arrived on New Lusitania, all saved prisoners were accommodated, but a very slow and emotive walk started when the death body of Joana is taken to he hospital, a huge silience was made while she passed carried by members of Delta. Ana went to Viriato, he was speechless, she gave him a kiss and she huged, he huged her back and tears started to fall on his face.
But that was yesterday, and now on board the Lusitano near of one of the suns, the memorial service of Joana began*
- Viriato to all - We could say many things about Joana. how beautifull she was, how funny, how determinated, ... she was speacial to all of us. Few here know her pass before she join us ... it was huge change ... but she will be know for the great bright person that all knew that died for a great cause, and ... i promise that her death will not be vain!*a small emotive pause* Her light will continue to shine on our hearts and her near this star, not in darkess but in the light that will continue to guide us all. Goodbye litle flower *a tear falls* may you rest in the peace that you wanted ... and i failed to give you!
* Viriato kisses the forehead and closes the casket. Viriato moves away to Ana, she embraces him, and the religiouss ceremony continues, after that, all members of Delta teams make the last tribute, and prepare her casket to be lauch to the star. After the lauch, all were watching the small casket reaching the sun corona and become like a small bright star. The memorial ended and all went to New Lusitania.*
*Viriato enters the room, tired and crestfallen he greets all present*
- Viriato - Greetings gentlemen! You all may sit! Report!
- Henrique - We are full!! We don't have more place to put more people and the hospital is overload! We even don't have more stretchers!
- Viriato - All that wishes to leave take then to Port Canaria and give then 1 million each person!
- Henrique - And those that are in the hospital? And their families?
- Viriato - I will talk to Doc and see if Med Force One is avaiable. More?!
- Henrique - Well the trading continues with good profit. Both the Nau and the Moliceiro continues to work, and we can confirm the rumor of GMG extra payment to some Zoners.
- Viriato - So ... when they needed help they called all Zoners and now ... they just thank to some!! We were the frist to suply their bases when the conflict began, and when they call for help on Honshu we were the first to say that we didn't want any extra cash! We never asked then anything, ship or gun and how they thank us?!! I hope they never again need any humanitarian help, but if they do ... don't help!
*Viriato has tired, all could see on his words, all were patient*
- Viriato - Anything more?
- Joao - When you want to attack camp 5?!
- Viriato - I don't know!! Maybe tomorrow or something! The teams need to rest!
- Nuno - We have reports about Thulsa Doom! More people are disappearing. The mountain is well guarded and we don't have certain but i think is also shielded, because the large amounts of H fuel they take every day!
- Viriato - Can you sabotage their ships?
- Nuno - You mean cut the suplies line?! Sure!
- Viriato - When all people that we saved return home, they will know that someone is on he hunt! Maybe is time to intruduce ourselfs to then.
- Nuno - Once a week Thulsa goes to Port Canaria!
- Viriato - Good! I shall meet him! Anything else?! ... No?! Good! All may return to your duties!
* All left except Joao, that grabs Viriato's arm*
- Joao - I need to talk to you! When you plan to tell Ana?!
- Viriato - I don't know what to tell!
- Joao - You must tell her the truth!
- Viriato - I know but ... i wished i could did more!!
- Joao - It is not your fault!!
- Viriato - If i wasn't on the truck maybe i could notice something!! Maybe Joana was still alive!
- Joao - MARIUS! Hören, was ich sage! *Viriato stoped! it was been a long time since we heard that name!* It is not your fault! You did more that anyone could ask! Even when you served me! You were the best soldier i ever commanded and now is a honor to me to serve you! Ok?! Know rest and tomorow we will take that goddamn camp!

While smaller in number than the more mobile groups liberating other slave camps around Canaria, the posse assembled by John Holliday decided to take one deep in a very rough area of Canaria. There were two ways there, on foot or by drop ship and arriving by drop ship would only sound alarms so the choice was easy.
The team of about 30 camped overnight just out-of-sight of the slavers with two of them sneaking in to monitor the camp and gather information. They would spend part of the next day observing as well, watching the slavers themselves. They noted armament, layout, numbers and so forth. One supply ship came and went during the day and towards nightfall, a Pilgrim slave liner landed. An infra red scan was run to confirm identity.
"An independent Junker slaver," he whispered to his partner, "let's get back."
After spending a few hours that night making a plan, the team got some sleep and attacked the next day.
Before the main charge took place, a few men on foot snuck in and were able to access some small arm's lockers. As the main charge came in, these men snuck into where the slaves were housed just before sun-up.
It was a stroke of genius. The main charged represented nothing more than a group of raiders as they kept attention away from the slave quarters, never stopping and always shooting. As they did, the men who snuck into the slave quarters brought in their captured arms and the slaves themselves fought back.
When it was said and done, the camp was out of business. The slavers themselves were all shot dead accept for the leader of the group. Also killed was the pilot of the liner. One posse member was shot in the thigh but beyond that, all others were fine. Attention now turned to the slaver leader.
"What do we do with him, Boss?" asked one of the men.
"Kill him!" shouted many of the freed slaves, "he killed some of us, others he treated worse than wild animals."
"Well, Boss," continued the man, "they've spoken. With all due respect, I think it should be there call."
The boss then stood up and nodded, "so they have. But, before we do, let us use some Old World Justice for some information."
He then looked to a couple of his men, "Glenn, Fred, get your horses and some rope." They did as instructed. They then hogtied the leader's feet together and his hands as well over his head, the other end of the rope being tied to the saddle horn of each horse. Then, they walked the horses apart just enough to tighten the ropes and subsequently, the leader's arms, legs and subsequent joints. He was in obvious pain as his body just barely hovered off the ground under the pressure.
"Now," asked the posse leader, "I want to know where the rest of your camps are, sizes, staff numbers and flight plans." He actually knew but wanted a confession.
"Figure it out yourself!" bellowed the slaver.
"OK," smirked the posse leader, "I will." He then turned to his two men, "move em' out."
As the horses each took a couple of steps forward, the slaver screamed in pain as his body now was suspended a few feet above the ground, his shoulder, hips, knees and elbows at the brink of dislocation.
"Now," repeated the posse leader, "tell me what I want to know."
The slaver gritted his teeth, trying to endure the pain, groaning and clenching his eyes shut. He finally cracked after a couple of minutes that seemed like an eternity. He told locations, staffing...everything. Finally, the ropes were cut, allowing his body to fall to the ground where he lay writhing in pain.
"Hurts, don't in?" asked the smiling posse leader. The slaver didn't respond.
"What we do with him, Boss? asked one of the men.
The leader thought a moment, "strip him to his briefs and leave him," he instructed as he looked around, "the wild animals out here will get him eventually."
About this time, a single shot was discharged, striking the slaver in the center of the chest...a heart shot. His body stiffened momentarily and then settled on the dirt. A freed woman held out the gun, still pointing at the slaver, the gun shaking in her hand as she cried.
"That bastard raped and killed my daughter," she cried, "he doesn't deserve to live. He doesn't even deserve propoer burial."
Sympathetically, the leader came to her and consoled her, taking the gun, "Let's get out of here...everyone. I'll take you and your people for proper medical and where you can get your lives back."
He then turned to everyone, "Who can fly that liner?"
"I can," one man said, "just say where."
"Port Canaria," instructed the leader, "namely, Canaria Medical but before you do, get that transponder changed to something more friendly."
The freed slaves, posse and all their equipment, horses and capture arms were taken into the ship. As it left, the camp was destroyed by the ship's gun batteries and eventually, they arrived at Port Canaria without further incident.
* On New Lusitania, Viriato was on his bed sleeping with his wife, while suddendly the alarm clock rings. "Damn!! "he thinks" Just a bit more!* He hugs again his angel .. few moments later he looks to the clock: " Ohh sh...!!* Viriato gets out of bed, Ana woke up*
- Ana - Where are you going?!!!
- Viriato - I have to go! There is a meeting i have to attend!
- Ana - But you arrived so late ...
- Viriato - Yes .. but i have to go.
*Viriato kisses the most beautifull sleepy face, and prepares it self for the meeting. Later he arrives to the conference room where avery one was waiting, Viriato embarrassed:*
- Viriato - Greetings to all... sorry for the delay!!!
- Henrique - No problem. You also arrived late last night!!
- Viriato - Yes!! Well Let's start!
- Henrique- Yes! What happend on camp 5?! Why there isn't any rescued?!
* Viriato explaiened all:
Camp 5 was a secret lab, to produce a new form of cardemine. The attack ws command by Viriato himself and was carried by Beta and Delta teams. The snipers from both teams toke positions while the remaim members were on the convoy. The plan was simple to excute, snipers would take the guards near the buildings while from space, defences far from the builiding where the supose prisioners were, the Fearless class ship Caravela were taken. When the first guards dropped death the convoy stormed the camp covered by the fire from the Caravela. The guards were well protected with the best combat suits and well equipped, but they couldn't did nothing because the extreme brute but surgical force. The convoy enters the camp, viriato and strike teams get out of the vehicles and head to the buidling but for their surprise, the supose prisioners didn't wanted to be saved:
- Prisioner - Who are you?!! What are you doing? You are ruining all!!
- Viriato - We are here to save you! Come on!
- Prisioner - NOOOOO!!! You don't understand! Come with me and i show you!
* Viriato orders to some soldiers to go with him while the rest protect the perimeter. Inside the buidling Viriato saw more supose prisioners working, but they weren't prisioners, but some greedy junkies scientists. They started to show their lab and explain how rich they will be with this new drug. Viriato enter the "game" and stared to say how much he was interested, but he makes the signal to two of his soldiers who were demolition experts, the signal was to simply to blow this place, which they did, putting some explosives without any one notice near some fuel tanks. After that, they signal Viriato that all was in place:
- Viriato to the junkies - My firends so i leave you for now .. tomorow we return!
- Junkies scientist - Great! You will see! You will become very very rich!
* Viriato orders the teams to leave the camp and fro ma safe distance he take sthe trigger device and blows the lab, and orders the Caravela to bombard the camp*-
* All were speechless, Viriato turn to Joao who lead the Alpha team on other attack *
- Viriato - And you Joao, how it worked on Port Jackson?!
- Joao - All went well! We went acording the plan, we used bretonian uniforms and equippement. We entered the bordel from the roof and covered the two point of entrance and exits of the buidling. We rescued five persons, and killed about 23! The rescued were taken to Port Canaria hospital, but they enter by thir own feet, leaving no conections to the raid.
- Viriato - Good! And the building?
- Joao - Building?! Ooh!!! The pile of burning remains?!!
* Viriato smiles, he also knows that that question was a waste of time, because he simply was talinkg to his mentor, the man who taught every thing he knows about warfare.
- Viriato - Well .. next!
- Henrique - I toke all patients to Canaria Medical Center, i saw Doc Holliday, i didn't spoke with him because he was very busy. I left all papers, all now refugees have now safe with they pockets fill to start a new life. I also have a report here from Doc Holliday, i would like you to see!
* Viriato reads the report of a rescue mission, he smiles*
- Virato - Joao i think that those who laughed about the looks and equippement of Docs patrols, should read this! i will talk to him later. Now Nuno ... news?!
* Nuno had the task to get the much informations about Thulsa Doom and way to "hurt" his organization*
- Nuno - There is one of his ship right now on Port Canaria, a Dromeday carring h fuel, acoording my information will leave in about ... less 15 minutes.
- Viriato - And?!!
- Nuno - She will have a acident, the inercia bumpers will gonna fail when she will make the docking procedures, and she will crash and burn!
- Viriato - The H fuel canister are prepare to not explode!!
- Nuno - I know that, but these ones aren't!
* Viriato again smiles*
- Viriato - Good this will make then angry! And that is good! i want to know when he goes to Port Canaria, i want to see him face to face. Now ... business!
- Henrique - Profits are good. Here Vasco and Pedro are working well and the profits are growing. Also ... you want to continue to not taking deuterium to GMG?
- Viriato - The minimum! We helped then from the beginning, with the risk of our lifes and never asked nothing in change, and now they only give profits to some? Even to those who had interests? Hell no!
- Henrique - Ok then. Also can we restart the work on the mine? Is not very profitable the the works already started and now are stopped!
- Viriato - Yes!! For now we will not need too many people and trucks! By the way Joao.. we will forward on that company of calvary!
- Henrique - Calvary?!
- Joao - Yes! To drive not only the trucks but also to operate all attacking vehicles, including those that are only storage like tanks and artilary. Some of our people already show interest in joinning and also this week more people are coming to join New Lusitania, and some have military backround.
- Viriato - We will continue to have three tactical teams and this support team. We are in a war, we may won many batles but it is still far for ending. We already paid one expensive price .. lets hope that we don't have to pay more. * a small silent moment* If there is nothing more to say we will end this meeting, i have to prepare a report to Docs.
* All leave the room except Viriato, he reads again Doc Holliday report and prepares to send him a message*
*Viriato was in the control room of New Lusitania. He spent too much time hunting slavers that he didn't care about New Lusitania management, at his side Henrique was providing all info necessary*
- Henrique - So as you can see, this month profit was higher than last month, even with all refugees expensives, thanks to the Moliceiro. We also have this bills to pay from the ships maintenance and you can't forget that the Lusitano and the Caravela must do their general maintenance on Port Canaria. I already booked to next week. Also the the new recruits had arrived. 135 new ones, wich 75 are males and there are 12 children. 48 of then are former military if i'm correct.
- Joao enter the room - And i know some! It will be a good adiction specially to the cavalry squadron.
- Viriato - Ok then!! It is all in good hands! Joao since you arrived let talk about the teams changings.
- Joao - I already talked to then, and all seems to aprove!
- Henrique - What changings?
- Viriato - The teams will have a diferent structure, Alpha and Beta will be a strike teams, while Gamma will be a saboteur/demolition team and Delta will be a sniper /recon team. Also here will be a cavalry squadron to support any action and to patrol New Lusitania.
- Henrique - I see!! So we will use more of that heavy metal junk that is on the warehouse?!
- Joao - Junk?!!
- Viriato - Yes! We will update all necessary vehicles and some more to reserve.
- Nuno enters the room - Sorry i'm late!
- Viriato - No problem. Any news?!
- Nuno - Yes i have. Has plan the cargo ship of Doom crashed and burned, destroying the docking plattform. He asked to a outside company to rebuild the pltatform, so we will have more information of his instalation soon, since we all now 2 workers.
- Viriato - Very good! When he goes to Port Canaria?!
- Nuno - When the plattform is rebuilt, in about one week!
- Viriato - Good! Keep me posted! Joao prepare all the teams for some training in the new configuration except Delta, i want then on recon. The cavalry squadron ... i have to think a name for it, i want then ready fast but well trained!
- Joao - Since most already have experience will not be a problem.
- Viriato - But is House experience. We do it different, and the vehicles are the same but the optronics are different! We don't have "small" military budget! Only the best is used no mater the price! Let's all go then!
*Viriato runs to the control room. He just arrived from Port Canaria where the Lusitano made his scheduled maintenance*
- Viriato - What is happening?!
- Joao - Delta 3 and 4 encounter a possible slave camp!
- Viriato - Let me talk to then! * To Delta snipers* This is Viriato, what is the point of situation?!
- Delta 3 spotter - This is Delta 3! We found a small gold camp near a river! *uploading visual*
- Delta 3 spotter - I see about 22 workers and 7 slavers!
- Delta 4 spotter - Negative! There is 1 more inside that small building! Just to say that at least 2 of the slavers look like kids! * uploading visual*
- Viriato - You must deal with precaution! Those kids can be dangerous and panic and start to shoot the slaves!
- Delta 4 spotter - Understood! Also there is one slaver, i believe is the leader inside a small building and ... i think he is raping a woman!
- Viriato - I see! How is the structure of the building?!
- Delta 4 spotter - Is a small hut made of wood!
- Viriato - What distance you are from the target?!
- Delta 4 spotter - 645 meters to the center.
- Delta 3 spotter - 503 meters to the center.
- Viriato - Give me your target solutions!
- Delta 3 spotter - Delta 3 have 4 possible targets!
- Delta 4 spotter - Delta 4 i have 6 possible target including the one inside the building, from this distance is possible to shoot by the walls, and we can detect him with the infra red scope.
- Viriato - Delta 3 and 4 coordenate your targets, the first to shoot will be the one on the hut. Delta snipers use suppressed sound. target first the ones are close to the slaves.
* in less on minute the 2 teams marked their targets and their priorities*
- Delta 3 spotter - Delta 3 is ready!
- Delta 4 spoter - Delta 4 is ready!
- Viriato - Delta engage all targets, and i mean all!
* The snipers understood the message, some could be kids but they had a gun and if they ener panic they could shoot the slaves. The enconter was brief. The first one to fall was the leader that was raping a woman, the others were the ones that were guarding the slaves, the fast action of the snipers and the silence of their guns, left without reaction, the 2 last ones were near the hut drinking .. those they didn't notice anything!*
- Delta 3 spotter - Delta 3 all targets eliminated!
- Delta 4 spotter - Delta 4 all targets eliminated!
- Viriato - Good! Approach with cautious, and take the workers out of there and proceed to the nearest extract point.
* Both teams approach the slaves, after some taliking they agreed to go with Delta, one hour later they arrived to the extract point where a Dromedary class ship, managed to land and take then to Port Canaria. While they were on their way, two light mortar fired from space, destroyed the camp*
*After the operation Viriato continued on the control room where all others were there, including Dr Abel Salazar, the new "recruit" and he will lead the research team. Dr. Abel Salazar borned bretonian worked many years for Cryer, but he left because his research was canceled, a cheap way to cure cancer is not profitable so it doesn't have interest, he now has all he need for him and his team to advance his research to the find a cure to the Nomads infestation*
- Viriato - Now you all now Abel, he will leave to the Barca and it will be stationed on Omicron 74. Afonso i want you on the Caravela to take care of it.
- Afonso - No problem!
- Viriato - Om 74 is a safe place but ... we never know!
- Abel - I thank you this opportunity ... i hope that i don't disappoint you!
- Viriato - Good! Now explain what is that od the Blood Dragons!
- Abel - Well we were intercept by a Blood Dragon cruiser call Miura. looks like this ship belongs to the remain Miura clan members, that have their roots from the times of ancient Japan back on Earth. Their leader is a old man that lost their sons to the Wild, and with out sucessors their fear that the Miura clan will end. But one isn't death! The older was killed in combat but the younger was captured and infested, but by the luck they recaptured. He is now on safe location in stasis waiting for a cure.
- Viriato - So they want us to help then?
- Abel - Yes! They don't talk ... hey made a vote of silence and the only one that can talk is a member of the crew that his job is to speak for them! They also are willing to help us in waht they can, even supply us with the number we want with Kusari Wild pilots.
- Afonso - I already maneged several Wild pilots and they are on the Barca!
- Abel - Yes but Kusari may have some diferences.
- Viriato - Very well! Give priority to that case! And the other cruiser?
- Abel - There is another cruiser that request help to the Zoners and Order, looks like they found an artifact that was carrying a virus and infected some members of the crew. But looks like we are to late and we can't help then!
- Viriato - Speaking of it ... you know the riks of your research right? And you know what will heppen to the Barca if something goes very wrong?!
- Abel - My dear friend ... i know very well and all my team and crew knows it, but we are willing to risk for the greater good!
- Viriato - Good ... moving on! Nuno ... and Doom?
- Nuno - The docking plattform is still been rebuilt. We have 2 men there but it still gonna take some time. The explosion was bigger that we expected and completed destroyed the plattform and made more damages. Doom is furious! Maybe this week we can have more news!
- Viriato - Good! Anything else?! No?! Good! The meeting is over!
