User blog:The Great Darth Revan/Breach and Clear - Chapter 1

"Echo-3, in position."

Alex looked back at his two squadmates and touched the transmit button on his helmet's two-way radio. "Roger, prepare to go in on my mark."

"3... 2... 1... Breach."

Alex heasitated for the briefest of moments, the loud bang the best signal he could ask for. Kicking the door in, the three pouring into the room as fast as the bullets leaving their guns. Four hostiles, less than two seconds. 

Echo-2 took a knee in front of him, while Liam moved to where Elesis knelt, each pair covering a different entrance.

Two seconds, and the door on the left opened. Alex's kill. The door on the right gave Elesis two before Liam ever pulled the trigger. "Go."

Lockdown and Elesis ran, crouching, to their respective doors, before their partners each took their positions as well.

"Go."

Half a second. "Clear."

Echo threw open the entrances to the fourth and final room simultaneously. Two seconds of burst fire, six more kills.

"Echo-1, UAV has negative contacts. AO sanatized. Standby for orders."

"Roger, command. Squad, combat report. Five."

"Two."

"Four."

"One."

Alex turned away, trying to keep his smirk hidden. His practice had paid off. He'd actually managed more kills than the most effecient killer on thier team. Today was a good day.

Seven and a half seconds, thirteen downed hostiles.

Echo Squad was definitely proud of this one.

"Echo, it looks like you're coming home early today. Hunt's called on weather. Looks like you're meeting up with another Bravo-Charlie from Germany. Delta."

"Roger, command. Extracting. See you at base."

"Echo's kill count is getting up there. 100+ KIA's confirmed between the four of you. No wonder they call us the Exterminators."

Elesis scoffed. "We're the 'Exterminators' because they only send us after rats, and not anything good. We need a challenge. Unprepared guerillas aren't exactly the best use of our skills."

"Can it, we'll get our chance. Let's go meet our new pals."

"Tch."

"Elesis."

"... Sir."

"Thanks. Echo, move out."
