The sirens blared quite loud as the boots of hundreds of Troopers hit the decks. The naval personal had prepared the multiple sparrows for flight and double checked each one. This would be the second wave to infiltrate Gamma Base. Each flight of Sparrows in total were twelve. Although the entire dropshp could launch forty at the same time it was still quite the ordeal. And the dropships were not going in alone, Starfury's were escorting them to the objective, this was in addition to the fourth wave of Starfury's that were already enroute to the objective. Hopefully they had cleared out all or most enemy AA turrets and enemy Starfurys'. But this was just a hope. Kilo Company was boarding two Sparrows and Captain Jones watched carfully where his people went. The landing bay was battleship gray except for the yellow lights on the ceiling that were flashing, as well as the lights to the dropships themselves.
Each trooper knew where to go and what to do, they'd been doing it for so long it was almost routine. The only possible downside or upside if one looked at it differently was that the ramp opened in the back. This was to protect soldiers and troopers from on coming enemy fire. Lieutenant Hobbar stood at the bottom of the ramp yelling at the troopers to hurry up and get moving. At least he was being kind about it. "Come on people move it!" he shouted. He couldn't say the same for 3rd Platoon's lieutenant Kacie Clark who was just being an asshole. "You shit heads think this is running? Come on I've seen an Inzhu on Hesperus run faster than you asses!" She was refering to a native wolf on the planet of Hesperus in the Marathon system. She was also a native of Hesperus so if anyone knew about some animal from there then she'd be the best person to ask about it. Staff Sergeant Silva meanwhile was locking people into the harnass's that would hold them enroute to the objective.
"I'm telling ya, I got a bad feeling about this drop." Shawn Danner from 3rd platoon said as Staff Sergeant Marvin locked him in. "You always say that Danner, you always have a bad feeling about any drop." Kelly Tse said. "Well you don't remember the drop on Hyarkin? Cheeses, four sparrows blew up due to anti air fire." he said smiling, before Marvin hit him on the head hard "Shut it." he said. Other members of the platoon laughed. The final person to arrive from 2nd platoon was Reed who was out of breath. "Shit Reed your always late." Zhour said as the ramp slowly closed. "Screw you." Reed said as he sat down. Staff Sergeant sat down and the dropship began to move slowly as the magnetic arm dropped them once before stopping. A loud bang was heard as the door closed above them. Again the arm moved down slowly before stopping. And another door above them closed. The troop carrier had 3 doors total for dropships to go through just in case one that had contact with space had an accident or the one in the airlock did. It was to save atmosphere. Finally the last door closed and now the dropship was in space. No doubt the pilot was already doing his checks.
Outside the Sparrows were hanging onto the arms, as the Starfury's launched around them and started to gather in formation to protect the precious Sparrows. As the Sparrows started to launch, the passangers inside felt the inertia from the engines. Inside 2nd platoon's Sparrow a member from 3rd platoon vomited right on Galloway's chest and stomach area. "Aw shit Charles. Your cleaning that up." Lieutenant Clark said . For some reason that trooper didn't have his visor down. Reed laughed a little before Silva punched him in the arm who stopped. It'd be an hour enroute to the objective. Too bad the vomit didn't get the liaison Reinhardt.....
