Henniger pinged Sykes and Harper immediately as his display alerted him to the five unknown foot mobiles. The drone was typical front-line technology so he couldn't get detailed imagery this high up in orbit ninety meters up through solid ferrocrete. It just knew they were humanoid, and not friendli...

Henniger's boots crunched gravel as he turned from his corner of the truck. "Roger LT, I'll get your bird in the air." <tag Harper> "Sokolava, Paulson, link up with 2nd I'll join you shortly." <tag Sokolava/Paulson> He moved to the cargo hatch at the rear of the vehicle and pried the compartment ope...

Henniger looked over at Paulson, briefly taking his eyes off the surrounding rooftops and alleyways. "Nice and smooth baby, follow them on in. Back us up to the loading dock when Vic 1 finds it." <Tag Paulson> He smacked Digger's shin and addressed him when he crouched down under the gunwales. "Maki...

" Henniger, find me an approach route to this bar, now. " Henniger keyed up his com on the dash, bypassing his helmet mic. "T3, Roger Ma'am." <tag Juan Perez> He knew his Marines heard the order so he just began working the problem on the dash holo system. He sent a query to the Suit director and al...

Henniger immediately muted the comm gear that was arrayed between himself and Paulson. He leaned back and slapped Digger on the knees to get his attention. Then he replayed the holo for them, describing the Suit to Paulson as he drove. He stared hard after the holo froze. "Well, here we fucking go a...

"Roger," Henniger said into his mic to Paulson from the commanders seat. He was running systems checks on the two data slates mounted to the dash. One was a vehicle controls and readout system of all three trucks, the other was a satellite-fed map and com system. On the second system he was able to ...

Henniger and Third were moving to the remaining vehicle when Sokolova spoke up on the squad freq. "Roger good call on both. You sit rear window and go ahead and get your kit ready if you think you can hit while on the move. And hey, welcome back." <Tag Sokolova> "Paulson, you're driving, Digger get ...

Henniger rode out the "elevator" trip in stoic silence. He was glad to be on an Op that didn't require supplemental breathing apparatus for once. Once they hit dirt, the familiar stench of diesel and AVgas assailed them. He moved through the throng and stood apart from the platoon. "Third Team, circ...

Henniger had run into the UPP before on his first hitch. They controlled fringes of the rim and deep space planets. Old school renegades that fragmented and split off during the Early Colonial Period. In his experience they either blew themselves up with bargain basement nukes before he got close in...

Henniger kept his face impassive.

Fucking bug hunt.

Henniger dropped the burning butt of his smoke in the remains of the coffee.
"See y'all in the briefing." He said to his table mates and made his way out of the DFAC.

Henniger noticed the way Sykes was brooding out of the corner of his eye while sharing a laugh with Paulson. His earlier thought of using the sergeant major as a benchmark for their situation came back. Though the senior NCO gave him a small smile after he'd noticed Henniger's gaze, he'd already see...

After a tepid shower Henniger dressed in his utilities and followed the shipboard signs to the chow hall. He took a seat across the cafeteria standard Wayu cheap table from Paulson and nodded to SSG Morse when their eyes met briefly. Morse has been his squad leader before he'd been brevet to squad l...

Henniger was bouncing lightly albeit groggily on the balls of his feet when the master guns strolled in and addressed them. He immediately clocked Sergeant Major Sykes from the corner of his eyes. The Devil Dawg's top NCO's reaction would be a guide the Dawgs would follow. If the sergeant major regi...

Henniger had nodded over his shoulder at Paulson as he made his way down the landing center passageway. "I hear you there, ping me, I'll meet you wherever and we can try some more of that local stuff." <tag Paulson> Having made it back to barracks and finished digging around in his locker, Henniger ...
