"Were stayin’." you say into your mouth piece. "We have seven minutes. Let’s get this crap out of here on the double. Rico, get the equipment ready to board."
"Got it." Rico replies.
You realize that you have to prepare for the worst. “Hurry the hell up”, you bark to your engineer before you turn and exit back into the compound. You need to set up fortifications for the coming storm.
You hear your earpiece crackle to life. "Sir, we got it ready to move. The TigerCats didn't damage it and we got a few spare parts."
"Good." you reply. "Now get it loaded." Good, you think to yourself. We might actually be able to get out of here with the equipment. And alive.
Just as you say this the ground is rent apart ten feet away from you. The Rhino that had been standing there was blasted to pieces. The shock wave throws you back ten feet.
"Sir" Rico shouts in your ear. "They are here. They have engaged."
"So I've noticed Rico. Get the equipment on the ship. Hurry." You look up. Two transport fighter 009's are flying above you. Shield jumps are being thrown and the Marines are already jumping. You count about twenty in all.
"Rico, get ready for some trouble. I count about twenty Marines in all." As you’re speaking, gunfire breaks out. One of your TigerCat starts firing at the falling marines. Two are hit and another wounded before another energy blast wipes the TigerCat from the face of the planet.
"Find cover!" you yell.
"Sir" your engineer's voice comes in through your earpiece. "we’re halfway there sir. We can leave in about two minutes if you can keep the Marines off us."
"Good." you say. "I'll do my best but hurry up." Another boom sounds in the compound. The enemy marines used plasma grenades to blow their own hole in the fence. Three of them come through in triangle formation scouting ahead. You see two snipers covering them from the smashed fence.
You whisper into your mouthpiece."Get me two Marines up here for cover and get a Rhino on the far side of the compound. On my command have the Rhino fire a shell at their hole in the fence. That should block their snipers. Then I want those two Marines to take out the triangle formation. Move!"
A moment later, "were ready sir."
"Fire!" you yell. A screaming bullet comes rocketing out of the sky and blasts between the enemy snipers. One you see is killed instantly and the other is blasted off his feet. Your Two Marines move in and soon the triangle formation is nothing but corpses.
"Sir." your engineer says in your ear."Were ready." Great. You can leave. But what about the fifteen Marines left. They could pursue you in their ships. You’re left with three options.
