Mars: February 2nd, 2152 AD
I woke up alone. My team was gone, and i was staring at the cieling of Red Base 627.
shit
I sat up to see Colonel Johnston pacing in front of the IBU -Instant Battlefield Updater. I looked to the cots on either side of mine. Asleep on the one to my right was Faulkner Reynolds. He’d recently been sent on a reconnaissance mission and had been badly injured.
I wish he’d stayed with us…
I looked out the window to my left to see a blur of red. Apperently another sand storm had kicked up while i was asleep. I looked over to my BTS -Battle Protection Suit which was hanging on a hook on the other side of the small barracks. The helmet visor had a huge gash in it, and the right arm had been crushed. Just then I felt the pain return. I layed back down, holding my throbing head.
Suddenly the IBU activated, and the sound of a calm woman’s voice was heard. “Colonel, the Arvians have destroyed the last of our remaining battleships. They’re now entering Mars’s atmosphere.”
