I woke up, I looked out of the port side window, I suddenly remembered what I was doing and were I was. I tried to get up. I was a little shaky at first or was it the Valkyrie? The soles of my boots clanked on the metal floor as I walked to the master vox. My webbing hung loosely around me, and it felt like it weighed a ton. My grav-chute didn’t make it any easier. My accatran pattern Lasgun slung over my shoulder. It was made to be lightweight and reduced length ‘1, this is command how are you over there’ I spoke as I looked out of the window at a Valkyrie that held 1st platoon in its iron clad belly.
“Command this is one were fine over here. Men are anxious sir.” I raspy voice replied, I knew that voice, it was sergeant Ailean a hero among my men they all respected him. His name meant "rock" or "noble." Whichever one, he was both.
“Try to calm them own a bit. Hell, give them one of your good old card games” I told him
“2, this is command you doing fine?”
“Command, 2, we’re all good” came jimmy’s voice, the men called him that because his name was Benjamin and he never liked it, plus the men thought it was hysterical.
“3, this is command, you all good?”
“Never felt better command” Came a very sick sounding voice. Sergeant Rob wasn’t all that great with flights, he was usually airsick.
“Don’t worry not long to go now just hang in there.”
Another sickly noise came over the vox “god I hope so”
“4 this is command, anything wrong”
“Command, 4 here. The pilot says we might have a bit of a problem with the engines. We may have to scrap the combat drop and land there and repair her.”
“Roger that, ill vox HQ and see what they say”
“Thanks command”.
“5 minutes till LZ!” a low booming voice came over the vox.
Command HQ this is 1st platoon command, we need to touch down and repair a valkyrie, we need to halt the combat drop and go in and land”
“Roger that. We have a fresh supply of troops from home expect to see them on your portside about now” I looked out a valkyrie swooped down.
Command, this is 5 your new platoon, we heard about you and you and your platoon, sounded like you could use a bit of heavy support. Another valkyrie swooped down and positioned itself behind platoon 5’s valkyrie.
“5, what have you got in store for us” I asked as i grinned.
“Oh now that would be telling command” A cheeky voice came over from platoon 5”
“your lucky your out official heavy support and that we need you or I would’ve reported you 5”I said in a smug voice.
“Ay Ay captain”
"Command platoon 5 is carrying snipers, heavy bolters and rockets. Make sure you take care of them, there your only hope of getting out of there alive.
"Roger that Command HQ"
“Oh and Mac duff. We have a present for you jut wait another 30 seconds command HQ out”


20 seconds past, I walked over to the side door. “Lights red” I said. Everyone stood up the valkyrie. “GREEN LIGHT!” I shouted the doors opened and I saw a vulture squadron, half masked by clouds, fly past nose diving on our LZ they fired rockets auto cannons and dropped bombs as the strafed the target clean. We were going to be dropped of on the little island just of from the main plant. A missile flew up at us and exploded near platoon 4’s Valkyrie, the engines whined a coughed then caught alight “we’re hit, I repeat we’re hit, brace for impact. it went hurtling down. The doors began to close on it and the ramp on the back of the beast came up.” Good luck guys I thought there was nothing I could do. I saw it crash into a building near a silo connected by pipes. Thank god the pipes were only used for sea water. My Valkyrie touched down on the ground I leapt out and Lasgun in hand. We had landed in a car park, it was empty, and a building that went around the whole place with a gate. It was a low building only 2 stories high. “TANK!” someone shouted. Damn it I thought fifth platoon hasn’t unloaded there weapons yet I saw the tank come in through the gate it looked like it was suspended in air almost. Its turret rotated and fired. It had missed me and blown a huge hole in the side of the building behind me. It readjusted its aim and brought the gun down on me, this is it I thought this is wear my time ends. It fired. A massive blue rectangular line and rockets fired in succession.
