You stand in the war room with your team, being briefed on the mission ahead by the anonymised voice of the contractor. It's a simple enough task, infiltrate the facility on the planet below and disable the orbital artillery to allow a ship to near and blast the place to all hell. Squads form up and you follow yours to the heavy dropship, while the rest of the team board the MCC. You're working on forward intelligence and will penetrate the facility as far as you can while the command centre positions itself out of range of the cannons.
Fast forward to charging in as the base locks itself down, gates closing, vehicular barriers coming up out of the ground. The defenders within mobilise faster than expected, betraying the fact that they were prepared for this, but you're a step ahead and already have control of the anti-infantry defences, which turn on their masters. You take advantage of the chaos to push your way into the complex, mercilessly executing the shocked guards, pointing out priority targets to your team mates who have these given precedence on their display.
Fast forward to tearing a panel off the back of the orbital artillery controls, team mates in your ear demanding that you disable it yesterday, a collection of wires in your hands which would appear to any but your trained eyes to be a chaotic jumble of colourful spaghetti. Your NEOCOM brings a message to your display, "Very simply, pretend to have disabled the artillery but leave it active. Find attached evidence that I am prepared to pay double the rate you're working at." The attachment is clear, this contact's finger is on the button to make you a very rich man... at the cost of your credibility as a mercenary to the current contractor.
The ship moves in, preparing to annihilate the facility, at your promise of safety. You hear a turret behind you whir menacingly to life and line up with the back of your head and realise that the original contractor has already marked you hostile and your team mates have followed suit. Your helmet and the naval offensive are torn apart simultaneously...
Moments later, you're checking your bank balance and smiling to yourself, adding another group of mercenaries to the list of people you'd be ill advised to work with again. |
