A raid on a ship

Joanna locked herself into her power armour and moved swiftly over to one of the waiting boarding shuttles. Over a hundred power armoured Angels were loading up into a score of the small craft, each one checking weapons and armour one last time, saying a last prayer or just sit and think.

It was an important mission but fairly routine, raiding a converted colony barge used by a group of interstellar slavers. Unusually, the slavers were said to be commanded by a man, supposedly centuries old and sustained by frequent use of forbidden genetic engineering and cybernetic processes.

?Everyone make sure you?re up to date on the pictures of the agents we sent, you don?t want to shoot them by mistake.? Lieutenant Kim South?s voice spoke into Joanna?s ear.

Joanna looked at the two pictures on her HUD. Both agents were pretty hot looking, one blond, one a redhead, both looking professional in business suits in the photo. Joanna was rather looking forward to meeting them, not to mention busting some slavers.

The drop shuttle fell away from the Persephone?s belly and into space, racing towards the massive slaver barge bellow, Joanna steeling herself for what might lie before her.
