That wasn’t my target, was it? My training suggests that I proceed with extreme caution, so I followed the directions and turned into what seemed like private land. After a few minutes of driving I entered the tree cover, until my truck could go no more. I stopped for a moment and considered alerting the base but I quickly disregard the thought. I turned off the engine and jumped out the car, my boots crushed nearby undergrowth; the road had merged into a footpath leading into the trees.
I walked to the side of the truck and opened it, revealing why we were called soldiers of peace. I selected two pistols and secured them on my hips, I glanced momentarily at the experimental rifle. I grabbed it and started walking down the path through the trees, knowing my body armour would provide enough protection; it too was an experimental design.
I will capture this target and General Tani will be pleased. Finally I saw it and the warehouse was imposing, it was a large metallic structure in a clearing surrounded by trees. I glanced down at my rifle and saw that the red LED was 'off' meaning the pulse was armed. It would take too long too scope the entire perimeter first, so I proceeded through the threshold, into the building. There were a few lights, high up in the ceiling and the warehouse looked cluttered... (tbc...)
