“You heard him. Set it up over there, and cover the vitals with sandbags.� He pointed to a shallow depression with sandbags in a halfmoon shape. He assumed that this was a last stand type gunpost should the globalists break the line. They set up the satellite based transmission dish, and established a rudimentary contact with Cabal after piggybacking a civilian weather satellite transmission. The brotherhood had been very creative in it’s efforts to communicate effectively with units in the field since losing all their satellites to Philedelphia’s point defenses.
He also had them scout for temporary quarters in an abandoned, and bombed out warehouse away from anything important. No telling whether the base could support them, and he figured preparing for the worst was good business. His men reported that an upper office was still safe enough that could stay in there if needs be. Valdez was taking his time, so he ordered rations broke out. MREs hadn’t changed much in 75 years of warfare.
Valdez finally swept the door open, and called Sergei over. “We’ve been assigned temporary quarters in a barracks north of here. It’s underground, just like everything else important around here. The sit-rep briefing will take place after we get re-located. Let them finish rations, then we’ll move. Is that com-link set up?�
“Yes sir. We have had some issues with Ion interference, and the satellite we are using is a basic weather sat, so comms are slower than the usual T.V. ones. We run a lower risk of being intercepted this way.�
He led him to the bunker, and showed him the video link. Valdez ordered Vigo out, and told Sergei to stay when he started after Vigo.
“You stay. As squad leader, you’re gonna need to know some of this.�
“Yes sir.� Sergei replied.
“Cabal link me with Black Hand command, I need commander Regulus specifically.�
“AFFIRMATIVE. ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH LINK.
PRIMARY LINK INTERMITTENT. INCREASED ION INTERFERENCE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE IS TO BLAME.
I WILL HOLD THIS LINE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, HUMAN.�
Regulus’ face appeared as a grainy image, and the voice link was scratchy, but not entirely bad.
“Ah good. What’s the situation Captain?�
“Sir, the base is holding, but GDI is pounding it with airstrikes daily. We hold the ground surrounding the city, but GDI owns the skies. This bases’ nearness to the Tiberium fields is preventing accurate Ion cannon use, but they are getting some use from it. Local weather predictions indicate Ion storms are expected for the next day and a half, and this will allow the engineer corps to fix things up quite a bit. Forays into the city have been decimated and the commander here suspects GDI has somehow tapped into Brotherhood radar systems while managing to jam ours. They know when and where to stop intrusions.�
“Do we have a location for the station controlling their electronic warfare capabilities?� Regulus asked.
“Yes sir. A cyborg team managed to transmit its location prior to being immobilized. The cyborg is still operational, and transmitting video feed when we can get it and we have a good idea of patrol rotations. I have it’s location as 9 Kilometers north of this base, in grid coordinate 32N.�
“Alright Valdez, you know what to do. Brief the men, and commence operations under Ion storm cover. We will have the local commander ready, and online the whole time. When the station is down, he will send everything he’s got so get out asap. It’s going to get ugly in there quick. Call me before sortieing. Regulus out.�
“Affirmative sir. Valdez out.�
“Alright Lieutenant, let’s get them set up for the night. Breifing at 2000 hours.�
“Affirmative, on my way.� And with that, sergei left the bunker, sent Vigo in to pack the comms up, and ordered the rest of them to fall in.
w00t?
