"Ugh... . get that corpse outa here... " says a strange voice.
"... Well.... . what do you make of this Lieutenant?" says Corporal Jones.
The Lieutenant then sighs and says "Well... . I think that we don't stand a chance against those creatures. "
"So.... since this WAS a Black Ops... ... . . What are we gonna do about the loss of our forces?" says the Corporal.
"Well.... . I figure if we bring about 70 new recruits fresh off Vega... ... maybe we can fix our little shortage here. " says the Lieutenant as he watches a body being carried off.
The Corporal nods and walks off into a small encampment tent.
"Uh... . . Corporal, sir... I think we have a problem. " scrambles a Private.
"What is it soldier?" says the Corporal.
"Well... . sir... . . it seems we have multiple life forms encroaching on the camp as we speak... . . about 40 meters out. " stutters the Private.
"Alright... . . sound the alarm, get all the forces back in the ships. We're moving out right now. If the ships get separated tell them to meet back on Starkx. " rapidly says the Corporal.
The Private runs off to sound the alarm. As the Corporal jogs to the Lieutenants' quarters he sees people scrambling to gather equipment and head to the ships. The Corporal then reaches the Lieutenants' quarters.
"Lieutenant?" says the Corporal.
The Lieutenant groans and says "John.... I know about the forces, get your men out of here. Mine are staying to make sure you get off the planet. "
"Sir, it is my duty to make sure you an-" says the Corporal before he is interrupted.
"I don't care what the Commander told you to do! When you’re with me you do as I say. I am a commanding officer as well. Now get your men and get off the damn planet. "
The Corporal sighs and walks out of the Lieutenants tent.
"Alright ladies! Drop your cocks and grab your socks! We are getting off this damn rock now! We got 8 minutes get our shit together ladies! Now move,move,move!" shouts the Corporal.
As the Corporal looks in the Lieutenants' tent and whispers "Max... . good luck you insane bastard... . . "

The Corporal then hops in a ship as 12 launch and fly off. The Corporal, looking down thinks to himself. "I'm glad your doing this Max... . I'm glad you’re sacrificing yourself for me and my men, good luck. " A Private then tells the Corporal to step inside so he can shut the door.
The Lieutenant gathers his thought and says to his men. "Alright maggots! Grabs your guns, lock and load! We are gonna have a frag fest! Form a circle around the 2 dropships! Share ammo if needed , and find something to cover yourself with. I don't wanna lose any of you wussies to a bug infestation!"
Suddenly a fire fight begins as Hydralisks and Zerglings mad rush the camp. Zerg and Terran alike fighting for their very lives and existence on the planet. Terran,firing until their guns reach the point of overheating and blowing up. Zerg running and clawing and men like rabid wolves against little bunnies. A very intense battle indeed.
"Ladies! Don't give em' an inch! Hold your ground for your species! Fight for your very life!" yells the Lieutenant to rally his men. The Zerg, cutting down men left and right get the advantage over the Terrans and exploit the weakness. The Terran using flame and sweat to power their massive machines and weapons of death and destruction slowly fall to the wrath of the insane and rabid species of what might be a giant bug.
Finally out of gut feeling, the Lieutenant calls for retreat, as he yells "Boys! Regroup at the ships so we can get the hell out of here!"
As the men retreat to the ships, one of the dropships gets knocked off it's support legs and collapses, rendering it useless and trapping 7 men underneath it's massive structure. The Lieutenant running for a ship like most of his men, passes many brave but foolish souls as some marines and firebats stay to fight the creatures. As he runs he sees many of his men cut down and fall victim to the wrath of what is known as "The Swarm".
Suddenly the Lieutenant has what most would call "An attack of the dumbass" and dismisses the retreat, as he screams "Look at us ladies! We're running from roaches! Let's blast em'!" As the Lieutenant turns around ready to fire, a Hydralisk cuts him down with one quick claw swipe to the chest. As the Lieutenant falls to his knees, he doesn't have enough time to look up and see the Hydralisk give the final blow. As a marine fires at the Hydralisk blasting him away with a Fletchette Grenade. That same Marine is then taken out from the legs by a Zergling. As he lays helpless on the ground, the Zerglings has a field day on his insides.
Finally, when gathered enough men, the last dropship barely launches before being annihilated by the Zerg, like so many loyal men. Before the dropship even has time to close the cargo door, a fleet of Mutalisks attacks the dropship. Leaving it completely helpless to the Zerg. As the ship's engines and are taken out. The ship itself plummets to the planet with no more then 17 survivors,who will now,like the rest of their friends, family ,and allies fall victim to the Zerg forces. Finally in what seems to be hours of silence inside the ship before it hits the ground ,the men. Look around with nothing but fear on their face, as a red light comes over them and they vanish.
Three weeks later, as Corporal Jones, walks the face of the same planet in the same area. Assessing the damage done by the bugs. Groans in disgust and hatred for the Zerg. As he lifts his visor and takes a deep breath while thinking to himself. "Don't worry Max... . . I'll avenge your death... . . It's not over yet, they will pay for what they have done."
