I look at the note then open it, it reads, "Pvt. Stacker, we've been notified that you were stationed at outpost 2 during the ambush, knowing this we're sending you to outpost 3, once you're there you should go directly to the front office, you'll be directed there by one of our soldiers. See you there. ~CDR. Rodriguez". What would a commander want with me? Hmph, well I better get going, wouldn't want to make him wait. As I get on the ship I see that i'm not the only one here, there's five other privates and a Lieutenant, what's going on? I get in and one of the guys asks me, "You know what's going on?", sounds like we're all clueless here, I respond, "No, I thought all of you would know", he said, "None of us know what's going on, not even the Lieutenant.", this gave me an unsettling feeling in my stomach. The rest of the time nobody said a thing other than the pilot who pretty much only talked to other pilots. Then we touched down on a landing pad and the Lieutenant got out and we all followed. When we got to the office we didn't even have to talk to anybody as we walked over to the "back" rooms of this office. We showed up at a room and the Lieutenant dismissed himself. The room had no windows so we opened the door then walked into a small room with a few lights and one table in the middle of the room. There were a few chairs at the table and a guy sitting on the other end, it was Commander Rodriguez! I salute and we waves my arm down. So we all walk over to sit down at the table and he starts talking.

* I wave my arm to have you rest.* as all of you may know, I am Commander Rodriguez I am in command of the Terran Battleship Alamo and the remaining ground and space forces of the Federation. We're here today because Outpost 2 has been overrun and all of you are the only ones to be recovered. Some one explain to me what the hell happened? The natives do not have Weapons such as those used at the outpost. So tell me who or what ATTACKED you!?

"Sir, i'm not sure that they were the natives.", says one of us, "Yea sir they were much more advanced than the natives.", says another marine, adding onto what he said. The commander's expression is blank. I'm not sure what's going on inside of his head.

Crap....it's worse then we thought. Ok Intel suggests that a scout team of the aliens who invaded earth may have followed. As of right now you marines are being transferred to a company that will hunt these monsters down and keep their main force from finding us

I nod, "Orders sir?".
