Cortez pulled his glove on tight and holstered his pistol by his hip. Strapping the rifle over his shoulder he scratched his face and marched down the hallway to the transporter room. Elbrum, Jones, Barnes and Rivers were already waiting in the room. He came to a stop a few feet in front of the team and they jumped to attention and saluted. Richard eyed them all and saluted back, "At ease", he said ending his glare on Cadet Elbrum. Richard understood the look on the mans face all too well, he'd seen it many times before, it had even been on his face once a long time ago, a mixture of nervousness and excitement and a longing to just get the damn mission started. He nodded his head and placed his hand on Elbrum's shoulder, he smiled, then looked at the rest of the team, "Don't any of you die on me", he said stepping back, "I hate paperwork".
Twisting around he looked towards the person operating the transporter controls, "Where is Major Shao and her team", he asked.
"Sir, they are en route", the man answered plainly.
He turned back around and looked at his team. "OK here's the plan, we'll beam onto the Eagle which will then quietly insert us into the Rommie station, the CHimera should be able to create just enough of a diversion so that we wont be seen. Once on the station, we'll make a quick assessment and determine the best route to the stations warp core, we'll proceed quickly and plant the explosives, we then extract and blow the station from a safe distance". He paused, "Any questions?', nobody said anything.
The silence was interrupted by Major Shao and her team entering the transporter room.
Cortez nodded and ordered his men onto the transporter pads, "We'll go first and make sure the Eagle is safe" he said towards Major Shao as he stepped onto the pad himself.
A second later he re-materialized along with the rest of his team onto the Eagle. They moved out of the room and into the staging area where they all took a seat and patiently waited. Minutes later after Major Shao's team beamed aboard, a communication from the Chimera came through.
+Cortez here.+, the Major responded.
"What's your status, Major?" The Captain asked.
+We're ready to go captain.+
"Good hunting, Major." Rojac said. "The brighter the blast, the better the show. Chimera out."
Cortez grinned at the statement and sighed deeply. He leaned back and fell into the bench behind him. The few hours or minutes prior to the beginning of a mission were always the worst. He wondered how much longer it would be.
"Soon Enough", he mumbled to himself.
