This is the tale of a young clone. His name was never revealed, but his tale remains true in the hearts of those he knew.
He was a fresh face, just out of the academy. He got a contract for the Guristas about an attack on a district owned by a small corporation a few systems away. Being without experience, the young clone thought an attack on this district would be a good first fight.
A few days later, The Clone and 15 comrades were dispatched on a district with a large facility in the center, known primarily as "Skim Junction". The clone spent weeks prior training his skills and was equipped with a GEK 38 Assault Rifle and a Scrambler Pistol on his Caldari Assault dropsuit.
His shielding systems were strong and were ready to protect his sturdy armor. His sighting parameters indicated the single objective, NULL Cannon Alpha, was 150 meters away from his current location. He and his fellow mercenaries began to approach Alpha. As he looked into the sunny sky, his vision was blurred by an explosion. Missiles had attacked an allied dropship and 6 of his teammates were killed instantly. He noticed several red-marked mercenaries approaching over the distant mountains. With Alpha only 50 meters away, he sprinted from the advancing gunfire into the empty facility. As he approached Alpha, a blur moved past him. " Damn Scout" he thought to himself. He didn't move a muscle, but instead aim down his sights directly in front of him and waited for the Scout to hop in his range. As soon as The Clone saw the scout in front of him, he pulled the trigger. "One less Scout to worry about" he thought to himself.
The Clone pushed forward to Alpha. With the facility still empty and the objective unguarded, he began to hack. Suddenly, the hacking process sped up exponentially. He turned to see an ally behind him. With the objective hacked, The Clone moved on to join the frontline. Gunfire filled his ears and he witnessed a massive firefight between the enemy and allied forces. He knew he wasn't trained enough to fight from the front, but he was an excellent flanker in the academy. He snuck behind the enemy ground troops and pulled out his Scrambler Pistol after witnessing a sniper near him, hiding behind a mountain. The Clone walked up to the scout instead of running to keep his signature low, and aimed for the sniper's head. A small bit of information detailing the sniper's dropsuit came up on his sighting parameters.
"A Militia fit." whispered The Clone. With one shot to the head, the sniper was dead. The Clone continued with his flank attempt. Catching three enemies unaware, he pulled out his GEK and killed off one of them quickly. The other two quickly noticed this, and in an instant The Clone witnessed his first death since the academy. Spawning back in at his team's redline, he noticed that the advancing red dots were getting increasingly close to it.
"They're Redlining us!" The Clone yelled. He quickly ran to defend the objective but was trapped by a swarm of enemy contacts.
"What am I to do now?" The Clone thought to himself. He was surrounded. Maybe a Locus grenade would be of use......
