Chapter 5: First Squad's Arresting

A passenger plane entered one of the hangar of W1-01 Venator. When the hatch slid opened on the side, ten figure jumped down out of the shuttle.

After that, the plane ascended and disappeared into the tunnel as the group was also about to went out to the hallway opposite the tunnel.

Currently, they were in the ship's left side hangar. The left hallway connected all the separated section and all floors of hangar on the left. Like the left hallway, the right hallway had similar role.

The space between this both hallway on the other hand was where accommodation, office, armory and more was stationed.

After changing into their grey combat armor in their assigned quarters, they head out again. Their destination was the bridge room this time.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Clack! Clack! Clack!

The beat of their rhythm boot and the clacking sound of their plastoid armor filled the once silent corridor. The red skirt that extended to their knees swayed as they strode. It was designed in a fashion of medieval time.

Seeing the notification that appeared at their sight, they straightened their uniform.

[ 'Squad 001' are requested in the Bridge Room.]

Everyone expression was stern as they were about to meet their lord and benefactor. They had different face and different personalities. Nervousness, excitement and more. Each of them had a different feelings.

***

Hiss!

As the elevator door slid opened, a group of soldier with mixed gender came out of the room. Eight man and two woman, everyone were programed in their early 20s.

Old enough to participate in battle and young enough to gain experience and room for improvement.

They immediately saw a man standing far at the window. He wore a dark violet General CO uniform coat and a captain cap on top of a dark fitting helmet.

His hand clasped behind his back as he stared at the planet currently covered in darkness.

" Greetings, salute to the lord!" They said loudly in Caestran as they saluted him when they were a couple of meter away.

Basic combat, discipline and knowledge had all been programed inside their head during their complicated developing process.

" At attention!" The man turned around and faced them. His voice sound husky as it was distorted and channeled through the mask.

Following his command, they slightly widened their stance and placed their hand at their back. They could only sees the eye's area beyond the dark mask covering his head and neck. Around the eyes, A burned mark could be seen.

" Let's get to the introduction phase. I am Aaron, the current Commander of the W1-01 Venator. Good, now you know that. let's hear all of your name starting from.. you" He said as he pointed at the blonde crew cut man at the far left.

" FN1-01-0001 at your service!"

'.. What?' Aaron asked himself internally with a dumbfounded expression as he realized something.

" Stopped, from now on I will give you all a name. Your name is Ett.. you, Tiva.. you.."

Time passes as he gave them name. He didn't like it when they use serial number as a name because he felt it wasn't realistic after purchasing them.

Although he was a self centered person, he didn't like it when his men was seen as things. He also knew casualties won't be able to avoid in the future. That was why he won't used them mindlessly as it would waste his points.

After he finished giving them name, he appointed Ett as the leader of the squad with rank Sergeant.

After that, he started explaining their purpose in the army and brainwashing them with his speech.

Unlike vehicle, he couldn't completely control his soldiers. If controlling vehicle was more than 80 percent or more, then his soldiers was less than 20.

He could also only gave them order indirectly. Maybe because of this, there was no special leveling skill from it as he couldn't control them like he did with vehicles.

Although he won't have to worry about them betraying him. These soldiers also had their own personalities. He could already see the lazy look at one of them.

Because of this, he will definitely give speech everytime a batch of soldier arrived like a graduation ceremony.

"... It breaks my heart to see the current cruel era where the ruler of a nation was nothing more than a person with greed and ambition who only care of their desire.."

" With the ability bestowed to me by god! I intended to lead an army!.. I will conquer the galaxy if i must!... with our future crest! To Vanquished evil! Enforce justice! " After some long speech of his propaganda, he could tell that his soldier completely believed him.

After all, other than seeing him as leader. He was also a father in their eyes.

" But.. Sigh, I don't know if im suitable for this. Maybe you all will find another person to serve.."

" My lord! You're the only one we serve!" They shouted with passion as they kneeled on the ground.

' Wow! This feelings is quite good!!' Seeing the sight of them kneeling, he couldn't help but shivered in excitement.

" No, I'm ashamed to.. I can't because.. im also not handsome.." After a few word of fake humbleness, he soon realized he had overdone it.

He quickly changed topic and brief their first mission.

" Moving on.. your first mission will be.."

***

Hours later, the soldiers went down to Desra with LAAT shuttle controlled by Aaron who had also followed them but on a separate plane.

Dawn had embraced the town as the sky turned less darker when he saw the skies from below.

As the Venator was outside the planet atmosphere, the residents below and travelers were a bit nervous. Afraid that a battle would soon erupted and affected them.

When they saw a white military transportation plane descended. Everyone all remained in their home including the tough looking people like the bounty hunter and more.

They didn't want to find trouble with any soldiers or messing up a military operation. Although they had ruler in the zone, people at the high place won't pay them any heed.

Whooshh

The LAAT shuttle descended and hovered over the ground, ten soldier in combat gear leaped down and pace to the deserted town. Aaron watched them from some far away on a hill with a binoculars.

Ett the Sergeant ordered the squad to separate into teams of two as they knocked the door house of every civilian.

When the door were opened by the civilians. All of them had an expression of confused, nervousness and more.

" What can I-" An old woman with trembling voice opened the door but was cut off as one of the soldier, Tre, storm inside to find and rounded up a family member if existed. While the other, Fyra, interrogated her.

" I have a question for you ma'am, do you sell food or know anyone who does here?" Fyra ask in Desra's native language with a distorted voice through the mic inside her full helm.

After Tre finished checking all the old woman's room, he signal to Fyra who had also finished her interrogation.

" Thank you for your cooperation ma'am. Have a nice day." She said as Tre walked out and they proceed to other house.

The old woman lied that she didn't knew anyone who sold foods. But Fyra knew this, though she didn't mind.

It wouldn't be possible for a resident who live her for a long time doesn't know this. Excluding she forgot it.

Aaron was silently hoping to see such scene like FBI ambushed a moment ago, but seeing them being civilized still made him proud.

" That's my..." He smiled as he sees similar scene around but froze when another different scene occurred.

" Do you perhaps sell Polystarch bread?" Fem asked the man, as Sux entered the house.

" I did sir." The man answered confidently.

" Then please we want you and your family to follow us, hand's on the air." Fem motioned them to head outside while Sux escorted the family's member.

Of course this was the pleasant one, the other was chaotic.

" What are you gonna do to me?" A man asked as he sweat.

" Do not resist and you'll be fine" Sju reassured but the later didn't believed him.

" No! I dont want!"

" Detained him." Siju said and Atta went to grabbed him. But when the man resisted so hard, Atta pulled out her stun baton and electrocuted him.

Then She and Siju lifted the body outside and dumped him on the street for others to see.

That's not the worst case yet.

Knocked! Knocked!

Nio and Tio knocked the door multiple time. When there's no response from the resident. They signaled each other before kicking the doors opened and stormed inside.

Pew! pew!

Bam!

Crashed!

" Hand's on the air!"

Aaron watching the scene from afar and smiled seeing his soldiers show their dominance.

'Approach with kind word, but if they don't listen. Just beat them up.'
