Forsaken

Daniels was adjusting his vest while the woman barraged him with a flurry of various swear words. He was rather impressed with the variety of her insults. He politely waited for Lea to finish.

"Well, it's rather simple. Or well, somewhat simple. You see, I lead an expedition to Vespucci, incognito, of course. We were supplied intel by one of our connections there. That connection being Hackett. He said he's captured a few infectees for us. So naturally, I hopped on an APM ship and flew there myself. I was bored sitting behind a desk so I figured some action in the field wouldn't do anyone any harm. When we finally arrived, there was an issue. Hackett had no infectees. He was the infectee. My squad got wiped, I got hit by several high powered EMPs and my implants were disabled. Hackett's men made the mistake of putting me in stasis though. It was just a matter of time for me to escape the pod. The real problem is, well...see for yourself."

Daniels nodded his head at the nearby illuminator. The scenery outside was different. They weren't in Cortez anymore. The Black nebula outside was a dead giveaway of that.

"If I am correct, and I have no reason to believe I'm not, we're in Virginia and on our way towards Omicron Nu. And we both know who lives in the Omicrons and what they want to do with humans. So, here's the plan. We need to get to your ship, you have your ship, right? Right. Now, I know what you're thinking, but we can't just launch and run away. No, they'll shoot us down faster than I call kill a trio of goons."

The man kicked the lifeless marine once more, this time out of pure spite and disrespect.

"No. I'm guessing whoever sent you here, gave you a direct line to them, we'll call in the fleet. Every goddamned fleet I have on alert. Two of them are hyperspace-capable and will be on location within twenty minutes. The rest will arrive within an hour. After that, we'll just need to wait for Core marines to board this ship, link up with them and assault Hackett. I want his infected ass burned, chopped, shot and spaced. In that order. Unfortunately, I was pretty much out cold when I was brought on this Overlord and I don't know it's layout. But I'm assuming you walked around, went sightseeing and such. So here's the plan. Grab a gun and lead us to your ship. I'll tag along and murder anyone who gets in our way, silently and from the shadows. It's entirely up to you to get us to that hangar. Chop chop Lea. Lots of cash riding on your success."
