[Target Alpha - Canna III - Canna System]
The tower stood ominously on the horizon from the vulcan's perspective. Wrapped warmly in his parka Marine Captain Verek, Chief of Security for the USS Eagle-B, took guard behind a bank of snow at green bolts of disruptor fire soared over-head. He waved to Sargeant Jento, his bolian Engineering Specialist, and signalled him to move to the higher ground at his three o'clock. 1Lt April Henley, his deputy, would cover him.
THe bolian nodded, but the vulcan could see the fear in his round eyes as they darted along his path. Henley patted his shoulder, and yelled something inaudible to Verek as the disruptor fire erupted behind him. Henley gave the signal, and the Marine Captain stepped up over the snow bank, opening fire on the breen positions. The other three combat specialists in his team did the same.
Feeling the heat of the blitz, the Breen commandoes took cover closer to the tower - all except one. The glinting of sunlight off of the alien's armored bodysuit caught the vulcan's superior vision. In an instant, his trained eyes held his rifle on target and pulled the trigger. But the damage was done. The orange beam caught the shoulder of the commando at the completion of a toss - and a grenade fell right into Henely and Jento's path.
"Get down!" Verek shouted. But it was too late. The resulting thermal explosion tossed the bodies of Henley and Jento high into the air, making their bodies crash with a sickeneing crunch much like thee sound of shoes stomping on wet snow. Verek quickly darted out toward the bodies of Jento and Henley, inviting another barrage of fire from the fortified breen troops. Verek quickly dove into the banks next to their position as the blizzard picked up. Wind blew snow right into the Chief's goggles, blinding him to the breen's movements. He jumped momentarily as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder, but he soon eased as he recognized Harper one of his comabt specialists.
"Captain," Harper said, "Jast and Groe are moving up the other side under the blizzard cover."
"Good." Verek said as he dug through Jento's pockets. "Take cover and provide suppressing fire on the breen position." Verek ordered. "I need to mark the target for the Lancer squadron."
"Aye sir." Harper acknowledged before taking position at the top of the hill.
Verek found his prize in Jento's shoulder sling. The primitive laser targeting marker hadn't been used in operation in more than a decade - but the harsh conditions of Canna II's eternal winter made it's use necessary. Sensor's couldn't produce accurate enoguh results in the environment for missile strikes to be effective. Verek aremd the device and targeted it's scope at the base of the tower - toward it's power supply station. A photon warhead there would flatten the tower and the surrounding breen fortifications.
"Verek to Lancer 1." The CSec called over the line. "Target Alpha is painted."
"I hear you." Came a reply, along with what sounded like thrashing hardcore metal bands in the background. Verek felt his right eyebrow raise in puzzlement. "Moving in."
It was only mere moments later that the Vulcan heard the scorching sounds overhead, and saw the sleek form of an aircraft painted purple with streaks of lightning fly over head. Seconds later, the tower erupted in bright light. The first antiproton emitter was down.
