In an empty cargo bay, a squad of troopers is running combat exercises. The one looking over the training claps loudly to get everyone's attention.
Corvin: Allright, that's enough. We’ve done all we can to prepare for this job as well as we could in this situation. Go get your stuff together and go rest. Those who were selected to deploy, meet here T-minus half a cycle before we come out the gate. Get yourselves some rest, and get ready to earn your spot in this fleet. Me and Tella will be busy going over whatever info we get and planning with the other squads. Kai, make sure that IFV crew you talked with, wagon if i recall, is still up to cooperate. We station-born gotta stick together. Rest of you scram. And make sure nobody starts any fights about the ethics of our medics again.
He looks on as the group disperses, no one hearing him say a quiet prayer to the dust-mother.
”Let us all come back safely to our home in the void.”

In the bay of the transport, the battlegroup is preparing for deployment. Driftwolves are preparing to board IFV provided by desperados company. Corvin is holding a pep-talk to the squad.
Corvin: Stay together, stick to your roles. Watch each other’s backs. If something goes sideways—and it always does—improvise. That’s what we do best.
And remember: we’re not here to get rich, not yet. We’re here to prove that the Driftwolves don’t just drift—we hunt.
He turns to the ifv, that seems to be cobbled together from a bunch of scrapped parts.
Tella: sir, are we sure we shouldn't just walk
Corvin: hush, its better than nothing… but jouko, keep a hand on that door so it doesn't fall off.

Roleplay: Sergeant Taylor leaned against the factory-new troop transport, chewing the inside of his cheek with a vacant expression. Last night's orders reverberated through his head unpleasantly, leaving behind a vague seasickness. Of course, this particular malady was caused by the modifications, rather than being resolved by them. It was nothing more than the usual orientation pain of seeing the guides outlined over top of his world. He closed his eyes, and himself to slip into the instructions one last time.
Follow ARMCO/Phalanx orders, if possible. Your primary objectives are: (1) the expulsion of org-B-0398 "Gray Scourge" forces, (2) acquisition of the promised Requisition Points, (3) minimization of third-party casualties, in that order. Remember that SAMSARE units will not receive Requisition Points. Maintain intrapersonal cohesion. Your secondary objectives are (1) collection of intelligence in regards to the capacity, structure, and aims of org-B-00398 "Gray Scourge" (2) collection of intelligence in regards to the capacity, structure, and aims of org-A-28763 "Lumari Republic", in that order. ALL standing directives apply. Standard field contact systems are nominal. Praise to sapientdom.
He exhaled, and opened his eyes. The malaise faded away, though he ended up squinting in harsh and hazy fluorescent light of the hangar bay. He picked out the figures of the Sword infantry group approaching him, looking like cardboard cutouts from the uniform lighting. He stood up, and motioned them over.
"Finally. We hit ground in two hours, thirty-eight minutes." Then he checked the time, nodded to himself, and turned to the IFV. "Payne! Thatcher! Let's go!"

Roleplay: The sergeant switched through outside comms channels with his thumb, one at a time, the miasma of chatter bringing a small smile to his face. Finally, he landed on the appointed frequency, which was still silent. Eventually, a voice came through.
"Contact in three-four-one-eight. Somewhere inside the building to your right. Don't know if hostile. Take caution, over."
"RCNNT reads you. Over." He turned to the driver, who tapped her own headset and gave a thumbs up. "Right, right. Let's get moving, then."

Rik: I‘ll take that. No chance we get there that easy.
As the IFV jostles around once again, one of the group turns to shout through the hatch connecting the driver's compartment and the rear.
Kai: Hey, desperado company, you sure we should be shaking this much? It feel like the suspension is a bit out of date. At this rate you will break our bones before the bots ever could.

Day 224
The shaking intensified, teeth chittering, metal rattling. The boosters engaged slowing the decent. The commander popped the hatch, stood up, looked to the infantry standing by and started yelling something I didn’t quite catch. To be honest, I don’t even remember much of anything I was so nervous, this was my first op and beyond that, my first time ever setting foot on another planet. The commander sunk back down slamming shut the hatch shut. He slapped me on the shoulder, and said “don’t look so worried, no matter what you’ll be a hero to the little fellows… Dead or Alive”. After a second with a serious face, he grinned and broke into a fit of laughter along with the rest of the crew and for a split second, I forgot what was happening, the laughter and bravery (or insanity) of these men inspired me, I laughed too... Until the bay doors opened that is… Then it all became real.

The rest of the squad repeats, "For Life and Light" as the rite comes to a close. They carefully extinguish the fire before donning their helmets and grabbing their gear, and head towards the gathering area to disembark.

Roleplay: Sergeant D. C. Taylor sat at the (purely figurative) head of the IFV, fingers silently drumming against the metallic wall. He stared at the view-screen as what he imagined must be half the Phalanx battlegroup plowed on ahead of the vehicle. Despite that, he could sense the stressed rumbling of the engine, shock-mounted though it was. His memory of prior missions was, as mandated, foggy, but he had the distinct feeling that…
"We can't go much faster than this?" He murmured into the noise-drowned turret capsule. Then he blanched, brought up his microphone, and repeated himself over the crew comms.
"No, sir!" Private Thatcher chirped over the voice channel. "You've heard of cutting-edge tech, yeah? Well, "Alonso", Rocinante here is what they call 'bludgeoning-edge tech.' It does two speeds; slow and dog slow."
The sergeant sucked in a breath through his teeth and slowly nodded to himself. The private continued: "You can't blame H.C., though. This was the best the money could buy."
He inclined his head. "Are you blaming me for the budget, Thatcher? You should know 'negotiation' with Command is not e-"
"I didn't say I blamed you, Sarge." Taylor frowned, but at that moment he started to smell… faint ether? "What in oneírōn are they doing back there?"

Roleplay: Ditching his half-hearted monitoring of the viewscreen and the tactical maps for the moment, Sergeant Taylor flipped through the ARMCO communications network, quickly searing each meaningful discovery into his memory. The reports would have to be completed, even if the rest of the mission were to fail. Even if its assets had to be… scrapped. He relayed the more insightful morsels of info to his crew.
"The forces in Elim say they found organic tissue inside the bots… and not just muscle tissue, either."
"So… you're saying they're 'humanoid' in more ways than one, yeah?" Thatcher returned, distantly.
"They have yet to take a position on whether they're biomechanical or, well…"
The gunner shook his head. "Assimilates? Doesn't matter. Cut that much out, and you don't retain enough ousíā anyway."
The sound of someone clamoring off the top of the vehicle was faintly audible. Taylor coughed.
"Uh. Pathfinders rang in as well. The Fed post has a single massive ballistic missile mounted to it. It's even still functional, to their knowledge."
"Ballistic?" The gunman paused, and the sergeant nodded.
"With current allegiances… the Feds have got the benefit of the doubt on that one for the time being. Reading into their choices isn't the mission. For us… it's just an awfully convenient windfall."
