Lieutenant Kim South slumped slightly in the command van seat. She?d seen her commands take worse causalities, but what the alien creatures did to prisoners was terrible. In the heat of the planet, the dark haired Lieutenant?s tight fitting skin suit uniform served well to keep her cool, but in this humid jungle she was still hot. Looking out the command van?s door, she could see the medical unit setting up, both doctors and nurses wearing abbreviated white miniskirt uniforms. The young officer envied them.
She turned back to the screen and took a deep breath. These alien creatures were obviously a hell of a lot more threatening than their technology would have led anyone to expect. ?Sit tight Sergeant.? She ordered Joanna Green, waiting at the other end of the link ?We?ll dispatch a flyer to collect your causality, and then I?m calling in support. Valkyrie Company are still aboard, they can join you in hunting these abominations, together with third platoon.?
Joanna frowned ?What about guarding the LZ sir?? she asked, frowning a bit. Extra support would be nice though, even if the second company aboard the Persephone were a green as grass outfit.
?A few sections of naval infantry should be enough to hold down a wide open area like this. Don?t worry about us.? Kim smiled reassuringly. ?We?ll pull through this fine.?
?Yes sir.? Joanna wasn?t convinced, but what else could she do?
