[Venture]

Omicron Zeta System.
1320 Hours.
Somewhere in the Pohnpei Edge Nebula

Pilot: This is Actual 2-1, we're closing in on the asteroid, I repeat, we're closing in on the asteroid.

Daniyal: Roger that Actual, waiting for green light. Over.

Pilot: Green light on Alpha, yellow light on Bravo.

The Grizzly hovered directly above the giant asteroid's surface as Alpha team got into their pods. One of the pilots flipped a switch and then pressed a green button, the pods of the Banshee squad were shot into the asteroid from the Grizzly.

Pilot: Banshee 1-1, Actual 2-1 will remain on field until the end of the mission, use your i-droids to call for extraction, out.

The Grizzly then started flying towards Bravo's drop point, it was on the other side of the giant white lumps coming out of the asteroid, the Grizzly slowly flew to the other side then stopped

Pilot: Green light on Bravo

Daniyal: Copy that, received.

The team climbed into their individual pods and each one of them did a 'thumbs up' gesture at Mark

Mark: We're all in, ready for drop

Pilot: Roger that, initiating drop, we shall be hanging around until the mission ends so we can pick you boys up, over.

The pods fired from the Grizzly, they flew rapidly down to the asteroid in extreme speeds, they all shot straight into the asteroid and then they opened. The men climbed out of their pods and grabbed their weapons and equipment. They all re-grouped as the pods were close to each other.

Daniyal: Report.

Squad: This is 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, Phantom squad is ready ops sir!

Mark: Command, we're all ready ops

Command: Bravo on Phantom Squad, mission is a go, extraction is in 6 hours, get in there and find the specimen and the power cell, good luck.

Daniyal: Squad, mission is a go, we get in and get those stuff we need that's on our today's grocery list, let's move!

Mark: Form up on me, stay in a delta formation, keep your eyes peeled and cover our backs, we are fighting aliens here so stay alert.

The Squad hurriedly got into a Delta formation and then they all started running towards the structures in the asteroid.
