Operation Kantaku

[Omicron]

Day 1: Nagano - deep space, 1735 SMT

---

Each Blood Dragon freighter signed on, one by one without delay or interruption. The Order freighters that trailed them followed in handling their own routines and protocols to the Order C.O. Avery. Three Rhino's and single command Grizzly class freighters carried fully sized platoon of marines with all their equipment for a siege. With rangers already planetside and supplies being just a system away ready to be shipped at momenth's notice morale was better than ussual attack.

"Order contingent to the Blood Dragons. All vessels accounted for and report green status. We will mantain radio silence as soon we hit the atmosphere and land on our designated LZ's. Hear from us at sunrise."

Commander put away the microphone, hanging it back onto the console. It carried basic electronic warfare suite and jammer simple enough for even not particularly gifted marine to handle. It was not as sophisticated as what a Wedjat vessel handled onboard much more spacious Resheph class recon cruisers but it would do the trick. He checked his weapon one last time, making sure tha battery and attachments are in just right. First strike should come easy... but once Samura would find out about them, they would have to face everything they can throw at them. Good, he almost said to himself. Poor bastards do not stand a chance.
