Almost everybody raised their hand. “Okay… we won’t have enough
time to go through all of your queries but we’ll figure something out.
The rocket team will consist of 4 Operators, 2 Support Soldiers, An
engineer, Me, Tom and Derek. The rest of you… all 23 of you left need
to maintain this base and keep the USOC off our backs. Both of ours,
actually. Stay safe. We’re leaving for the moon tomorrow.”
Derek looked at Carter, astonished. “So that’s your whole speech? I
only just met you guys like yesterday and now I’m some vital part of a
convoluted galaxy saving plan? I should be at work right now, typing
documents using my fingers. Now everybody’s lives depend on me and
you practically signed your own death wish without saying a proper
goodbye”

I’m sorry if this is hard to take in, Derek but we need you. And I never was
good at speeches anyway. We’ll sort any problems you have tomorrow. You
should go back to training with Marcus. You’ll need it.”



So what – no strategy, no plans, no rules of engagement? You are
completely unorganised and the fate of Earth and the solar system
depends on what we do. We got a plan?”

Come on, Derek. Back to the armoury. We… are going to have some fun
with assault rifles.” Said Marcus as he led Derek back to the Armoury.
“More weapons training? You saw how good I was. I don’t need no
training”

Well I’m sure you do, for this anyway” The two had arrived back at the
armoury and Marcus had just pulled out what looks like a steel
unassembled tent package. “It’s called power shielding. State of the art.
Hijacked it from the USOC a couple weeks back. It spreads the kine c
energy of the projec le you were hit with around, causing a bit more
stopping power but li le to no damage. Don’t worry. You’ll learn to control
it. Eventually. Put it on.”
