"This is a mission of great importance." said a voice over the radio.
"I understand." said Lt. Jack, 679th Space Marine division.
"You will be briefed by our top sniper, Capt. Smithfield."
"A sniper, I'm working with a sniper!"
"It gets worse, the sniper is also a ghost."
"Damn. Both cowardly professions."
"I'm sorry, I know you hate both, but that sniper is the only one who can get the job done."
"Alright, when do I start?"
"She's waiting in a dropship at the hangar."
"She? Wait!"
"Just try not to kill each other."
"Damn it.", thought Lt. Jack to himself. Jack and his squad headed for the hangar on the far side of the camp, when suddenly the lights went red, and a blaring siren went off. "Your mission is more important." said one of the marines. As they entered the courtyard, the squad saw the legions of zerg around the camp. A single zergling made it's way over the fence, and charged at Lt. Jack. He took it down with a single shot from his side-arm. The wall was soon shattered, however, when an ultralisk charged through it. "Enrique, Sampson, hold it off. Landsley, you're with me." ordered the desperate Lieutenant. Jack closed the blast doors behind him as he entered the terminal building, thus sealing the fate of half his squad. He and Landsley dashed down the hall, with the screams of dying men echoing throughout the corridors. As they turned the corner, they saw that a large portion of the ceiling had fallen in, and the only way to continue was through the front lines. While crouched, the two marines crossed the battlefield from behind the cement barricades. Suddenly, the goliath near them burst, and zerg overran the area. Both marines open-fired upon the zergling onslaught. The killed dozens before Landsley grabbed his grenades and jumped into the enemy lines. Using the explosion as cover, Lt. Jack ran for the next gate. He joined a small band of marines trying to retake the base. They crept stealthily through the corridor until a swarm of hydralisks ambushed them. Attacked from both sides, the marines fought fiercely, but the hydralisks seemed to have the advantage. The commander gave the order to push forward. With a concentrated line of fire, the marines broke through the hydralisks ahead of them, and ran for dear life. The hangar was close, so the marines agreed to escort Jack to the dropship.

As Jack walked down the seemingly clear hall, an orange mist surrounded the band of men. Zerglings tore through the marines at the rear, as the rest headed forward. By the time they reached the supply room, only 3 men other than jack remained. The men Grabbed their grenades and threw them behind. In an instant, the marines were soaked in zergling blood. They slowly walked in, but over a dozen zerg dropped from the ceiling. Flashes of gunfire revealed that they were'nt the first to be caught off guard. Two half-alive firebats lie in the corner, missing nearly all of their limbs. The marines fired a round for every three zerglings in the room. Only one of the four was killed in the surprise attack, but he would not be the last victim. As they left, one of the wounded hydralisks fired a blast through a marine's spine. He was killed instantly. The other fired another clip into the hydralisk and continued on. "We're almost there." said Jack. Jack turned to see the expression on his comrade's face, but instead was shocked to find a zergling dragging his decapitated body aside. Jack shot the zergling, took out his knife, and impailed it on the wall. Jack opened the door to the refueling bay, the last step before the hangar. All of the sudden a hydralisk surprised Jack from behind the door. From nowhere, twelve shots rang out. The hydralisk, and 12 other zerg creatures dropped from the ceiling, and many other hiding spots. In fact, one bullet had actually pierced through the head of one zergling, and hit the spine of a nearby hydrlisk. Out from the shadows stepped a ghost. "Captain Smithfield, I presume." said Jack.
"Yup, the very same one who just saved your ass." replied Smithfield.
"You didn't save a thing."
"Thanks for the gratitude." said Smithfield.
"I thought you were waiting in the hangar."
"I thought I might save you first."
"I DIDN't NEED TO BE SAVED."
"...Of course not." said the captain sarcastically as she put away her pistols and loaded her canister rifle. "I'll brief you on the way there."
"On the way where?" asked Lieutenant Jack.
"Why, Tarsonis of course..."
