Chapter One
Yak Queta looked closely at the hologram projected in front of him. His touched the console and the image magnified and a blurry resemblance to an escape pod. Yak looked up at the other figure in the room, whose size made him look like a puny insect. "So... this is my target. A pod."

The voice that replied made Yak wince. "Yes. It is. It bears resemblance to one of our enforcer cruiser's emergency pod. It crashed in the forest two hours ago. We managed to get some scans out and we detected lifeforms on board. Not ours, nor anything in our databases. In fact, they are so bizarre, they can hardly be classified as a living being. Your first task as an Enforcer of G617 g1 is to investigate this phenomenon. It has somehow slipped past our naval ships so we are sending a fireteam to aid and defend you. Remember, this is your first mission under on this world. Your previous commanding officer talks greatly of you and your ability to work as a team. Now prove it. Good luck."

Yak spread his fingers out and held it out toward the other figure. He did the same to Yak. Yak walked to the door and headed out as soon as it slid apart. He eyed the small team of soldiers staring back at him. The lead one walked forward and made the hands gestures. The other followed in suit. Yak returned it and turned to the lead trooper. "And you are?"

"Wallo Reverq. You must be the replacement leader for our squad. Our last one got reassigned like you. Sir. We are to defend and assist you anyway we can on your mission."

"Very good." Yak looked at the other six men. "We'd better get moving. We can get familiar on the ride there."

The other six picked up their equipment and their weapons from the floor. Yak lead them in a single line down to the dropship bay. As soon as he walked in, a docksman hurried forwards to greet them. " Queta? Right this way." He lead them to the transport closes to the exit. "You are clear to take off at 29 hevers. Your mission coordinates are already uploaded into the computer."

Yak nodded his thanks and signaled for his squad to get on. One of them climbed into the cockpit while Yak and Wallo sat across each other in the cabin.
