Staff Sergeant Thomas was at the end of his shift. It had been Twelve hours of constant Radio chatter and his relief was due at any time. Since the city had been re-taken units had been moving everywhere and getting settled in.

The screen flickered red on his com monitor... That's strange, a priority message from Victor 57. He looked at his map overlay and located Two squads under the command of major Parino at the Doran Pass. He wasn't quite sure what to make of the message as they had only arrived at the pass in the last hour. He waited patiently as the message loaded and was encrypted.
