Location: Planet-side Military Installation 462-b
Planet: Classified
System: Classified
Constellation: Classified
Region: Hemitar
Setting: 7 Years after their first mission together, Sargent Burn and Corporal Mag, now each 19 years old, sit in the command room of the installation watching their grey-haired CO, Major Jor Atkin scream at the comlink.
Jarik Utoni, dressed in long black trenchcoat and sporting multiple weapons of death played with his combat knife. He drew its 7 inch blade and used it to pick at the underside of his fingernails. Mag shook her head disapprovingly, she was also wearing a long black trench, and though she sported far fewer killing weapons, she had many smaller ones.
"I've had enough of this yelling," she exclaimed "Burn, let's go find something to do."
Jarik nodded and they both got up and began to walk the halls, traumatizing everyone in the base. Mag unsheathed her throwing knives from special pockets on the inside of her jacket and began idly trying to miss the children who ran from them. During the 7 years they had killed for the RMS their dispositions had rapidly changed, what used to be a friendly team of trained killers had become callous and unfeeling, killing anything in sight that they knew they could get away with. On missions it was all business, kill who needed to be killed and get the fuck out of there, but on leave, they egged fellow service personnel into fights to have an excuse to kill them to the point that they were banned from all bars on the base. They traumatised the newly taken children and sometimes even killed them. For a stint Jarik had worked the Dark Room, when recruits never survived they shortened the time, and Jarik killed them faster prompting them to find a less dangerous soldier for the job. Jarik and Mag were collectively known as "Kill Squad Zephyr" and they were the most dangerous group on the base. For a while Kill Squad Zephyr was no danger to anyone else, but when their separate base was discontinued for funding issues they had been moved back to installation 462-b and their true nature revealed itself, in ugly fashion.
They continued down the hall idly playing with their weapons and found themselves drawn to the cell block, here they watched the children stolen by the recovery teams as they cried for answers.
"Hey, you're not allowed in here!" came the voice of the guard
Jarik turned and nonchalantly broke the man's outstretched arm, he screamed and fell to the floor but by now the crying had stopped and fear was on the children's faces.
Just then the loudspeaker came to life, a loud mechanical voice drowning out the cries of the guard,
KILL TEAM ZEPHYR, REPORT TO THE MAJOR'S QUARTERS IMMEDIATLY.
Mag looked at Jarik,
"Looks lke another mission love."
Jarik smiled taking in the awesome and dangerous beauty of his spotter,
"Indeed," he said, giving her a peck on the cheek.
