Operation ATOMEYE

[CONCENTRAL]

Fifty FC200 Coyote Armored Personnel Carriers with three hundred infantry aboard them rumbled into action down National 26 South, one of the few Elanii roads still in good working order this far north (grid square T17). Captain Arnold Barnes, Bronze Regimental Team Leader, watched his own identical column stream down N26 East (grid square T8) through binoculars as he stood in one of the open hatches of the lead Coyote.

"Bronze, Bronze, Bronze, this is Regional Command," a voice crackled over the command line of the Coyote's bulky vocex unit.

"Regional Command, Bronze Actual," Barnes said into his headset, every bit as bulky and inconveniently connected to the vocex by a thick, rubber-wrapped copper wire.

"Captain, authorization from National's just come down for your mission. Proceed as planned into Merkov CFB and liberate any pre-war tech samples or files you can. Regional Intelligence confirmed our suspicion: Ignatius and Delphus appear abandoned. Assume THREATCOM 4 and moderate combat readiness. Regional out."

Markov was supposed to be abandoned, but the Elanii had a habit of leaving nasty surprises behind. Barnes intended to get the job done as quickly and carefully as possible. Something about this whole peninsula gave him the creeps. The Coyotes continued their westbound crawl, impervious to any spooking the terrain or inhabitants were capable of.
