"Welcome to the U.S.S.R Olympus Mons", said Mitchel. Jackson was boarding the Olympus Mars, the icon of the Orion fleet. Back then people had to be put into stasis to go from galaxy to galaxy but ever since the creation of the Confederacy, aliens shared their discovery of ftls or it's full name Faster than Light speed, which is an upgraded version of ftl. As he boarded the battleship, he noticed a ghost on the team. "This is going to end quickly but always expect the unexpected", said a fellow soldier next to him. Ghosts were known for there sniping and stealth skills especially when they're skills were combined with biotics, they were near impossible to detect and kill. Once inside the ship he walked toward the armory for his loadout. "Ah Jackson, the usual", said Emerald. Jackson did a gesture for his loadout. He grabbed the his Ark 17 with extra care even though it doesn't matter. "Thanks", said Jackson in gracious tone. Emerald smiled at him, noticing his beautiful crystal eyes that made her day each time he was on the ship.
While he was finished doing some modifications on his assault riffle, the Olympus Mons started to detach its docking port and began to move out of the station with ease. "All personal with military grade 5 and up, please report up to the conference room. Once Jackson heard that announcement he walked out of the armory with gun and towards the elevator that was always looking apart from all the red and white in the ship's hallway. "So we're finally doing this", said a member of the crew. It's been a week since the last attack on the Resistance's home base, it was one of the few missions where none of the bomber pilots left the planet possibly due to extreme frigid temperature on the planet of Boreas. As the ship started to go into slip stream something caused a shortage of power to the entire ship, leaving most of the ship in darkness. It mostly didn't matter if the ship had a power failure since the fftls was connected to backup generators specifically used to keep the ship's warp systems from failing. "So looks like we're going to have to take the stairs", said a group of engineers on their way to repair any damages to the ship and core. Jackson was walking as fast as he could before he was late to the meeting on D-wing.
2 minutes later..... He had finally made it to D-wing. As he entered the conference room, the power came back on. Jackson was ashtonished by how quickly the ship's power came back, usually it took at least an hour. "The man of the hour is here", said the captain of the ship. There it was all most significant people of the galaxy. Jackson saw the picture of the icy planet, Eorbus. "Ok people settle down, we have important matters on the table", said Valentine, the representative of the Aphrodites. The Aphrodite's were a race of beautiful women and men, they prefer to love and be friends with other species than wage war against other species. As each of the members started to take a seat, Valentine pulled up an image of the icy planet of Erobos. "As all of you may know Erobos is one of the isolate and most dangerous planet in the galaxy", said King, the representatives of the warrior race called Ares. "The base as we know it from sattelite images is over the alps meaning no airship can get through because of the cold and strong winds coming through at sixty miles per hour", said King. Jackson grabbed his key card and centered it into the Id slot. "Even without that storm, the frigid temperatures can freeze someone entirely without their suit", said Jackson. "We're doing this boots on the ground, once the ship gets into close range, the teams will drop and begin to decimate the base, are we clear", said King. Jackson and two other commandos nodded. " Briefing is over", said Valentine. They all exited out of the room.
"We're arriving at Erobus, get ready to transition from ship to ship", each one of the soldiers getting their gear while the ship was coming close to the Concord. Jackson was waiting at the ship's docking port, wondering what who would be in charge of the mission. "You ready for this", the voice coming behind him. He looked behind him to find his long time friend, Michael, walking towards him, his gun pointed up to the ceiling. " Yeah, I am ready to drop into a cold icy region, waiting to be shot at, and hoping not to die of the cold.", said Jackson, smiling. As they were talking, the docking main door opened revealing a long, narrow passage leading to the ship. " Well, onwards to adventure", said Jackson. They walked towards the door on the otherside, hoping to get out before everyone rushed into the bay.
It only took a few minutes for everyone to get on the ship. "Everyone, get ready for the assualt, we'll be descending the atmosphere", said the Captain. The ship began to descend, the ship's underbelly resisting the extremely hot temperatures that was devouring it. Jackson and Michael was waiting patiently for the ship to stop shaking violently. Michael prayed, knowing that it was possible that he and his friends could die on this mission. Jackson on the other hand, just stared into space, knowing this would be the deciding blow for the Resistance. He felt the pressure weigh him down, remembering that his family,friends, and government will be waiting for him to come back.
