15th DeathWatch Company

-----20 minutes earlier-----

"Sir, I am receiving a distress call from Alpha 2-9-9-0 'Valentine.'

Trace of arcane explosion suggests heavy arcane bombardment were used. Additionally, orbital scans reveal class 6 Leviathans approaching Valentine fast."

Stated Athena, artificial intelligence abord the DeathWatch low orbit station 'Legionnaire.'

"Get 15th ready, and deploy five Striker class combat mech to assist them."

High commander Spire expression did not change as he ordered Athena.

Dressed in a black commissar trench coat. With a black peak cap decorated with skulls. He was one of the first soldiers who were transferred from their respective units to DeathWatch.

The first-ever specialize company to be assigned the task of exterminating all Xenos life forms that may or may not post a threat to Earth.

Spire knows that these Xenos are not stupid, they want something from Valentine. But what is it? Valentine mission is to patrol the Atlantic sector, and that is it.

They did not carry something worth using multiple class six Leviathans.

Or maybe they found something.

"Athena, transfer yourself in one of the 15th pods, It seems that Valentine is carrying something extremely valuable to the Xenos, and I need you down there to confirm it."

Spire quickly turn around to see a hologram of a small woman standing on the orbital maps.

"Understood sir, may I choose who I link myself to?"

Asked Athena as she shifted her focus from the orbital maps to Spire, all while licking her lips seductively.

"It matter not, just pick one and be done with it."

Answered Spire.

"Understood."

Suddenly Athena disappeared from the holo pods and quickly transferred herself to the 15th DeathWatch.

"Staff Sergeant, High Commander Spire has assigned a mission for the 15th."

Athena paused be for continuing.

"A battleship class vessel 'Valentine' is under attack from arcane using Xenos forces.

Additionally, 4 class six Leviathans were detected, and they are approaching said vessel.

High Commander also deploys an additional five striker class combat mech to assist your mission."

After she finishes briefing him, she carefully inspects his uniform.

He dressed in full black assault uniform.

The assault uniform covered from head to toe. The chest piece, however, provides its user with arcane protection.

Although this technology is still in prototype, it proved to be an effective tool against Xenos who can manipulate arcane power.

His face is hidden underneath Omnituens generation five combat helmet.

The helmet provides its user with combat stats, real-time orbital scans and user's physical and/or mental state if the user desire so.

The helmet is also designed to be used in extreme situations in case of biological weapons were used.

A single long tube connects the mouthpiece to two small oxygen tank located on the back of the user, right above iliocostalis (upper buttocks).

Providing its user with oxygen that will last for 48 hours.

Athena smiles as she softly whispers into his left ear.

"I'll be with you the whole way, Jack."

"Understood. 15th, drop pods. Now."

Staff Sergeant Jack ignores the A.I. unknown action.

His red eyes glow as he grabs his semi-automatic rifle, T-99.

He walks towards his squad that is waiting for his order.

""Aye, aye sir.""

"Where to this time, Staff Sergeant?"

Suddenly a smooth female hand pokes the Staff Sergeant from behind.

He turns around to see fully geared Sergeant, Mera.

She dressed in the same manner as Jack.

She took off her combat helmet, revealing her overwhelmingly charming face.

Although Mera is indeed a soldier, that hasn't stop her from taking care of her own appearance.

Her plump lips and short black hair give off a feeling of a war goddess.

"One of our naval vessels is under heavy arcane bombardment.

Our mission: Exterminate all Xenos life form and secure Battleship class vessel 'Valentine.'
