An orbital observation platform running in autonomous mode detected movement in the allegedly neutralized zone and pinpointed a wrecked command post as the most likely source. Drone observation of the command post in visible light could not confirm the orbital platform data but long stand off observation in infra-red indicated multiple heat sources where none should exist.
The six members of the team moved silently across broken ground in the pre-dawn darkness to the side of an exposed foundation. Free falling from high altitude and parachuting to land twenty three hours and ten kilometers away hopefully aided an unseen approach to their objective. Continuously monitoring the radio frequency bands as well as low light and heat reconnoiter continued to indicate they were alone. They arrived within a kilometer of the remains of the command post without contact and undetected. Known only by their black project name, Harvest, the six highly trained individuals utilized stealth equipment to specialize in covert operations under darkness.
Alpha, the assault squad leader could communicate with and see each squad member’s position on the Heads-Up-Display visor of his helmet. Baker, the newest member of the team, was their sniper and her high power rifle was equipped with night vision and infra-red. Charley was their advanced armament guy and could place a variety of small smart missiles and rocket propelled grenades on target from outside the active perimeter. Dog was the CAED, the communication awareness and electronic disruption guy that kept the team informed of any evolving threat situation. Echo was their demolitions and IED man and Fox rounded out the team as their medic.
The level of technology deployed in the last thirty days indicated that an unknown player had joined the conflict that could potentially change the course of the war.
