(I got to thinking, hey, someone needs to do something other than the sports, so here's my attempt to start up something)

Somewhere in the former nation of Krytenia - The squad of Ainorpispian airborne troopers had been patrolling the streets of what they believed to be the remains of Avid-Diord without incident. It wasn't expected that any hostile action would be taken during the AORDO operation, but they'd been prepared for the worst. Xilian troops hadn't even been seen, and it was unlikely that they would attack AA troops with the clearly marked AORDO helmet covers and vehicles. There'd been talk that the feds in Sarmatia were finalizing a proposal to end sanctions on Xile finally, but that wasn't the AA's concern.

Everything seemed fairly routine until Private Magglio Giovanni caught something out of the corner of his eye. There was some sort of movement off in the ruins of a building demolished during the Xilian bombing of the AOlympics. Sensing it could be the so-called 'anixilian fatwah', the Krytenian fringe group that had pledged to continue fighting the Xilians, Giovanni signaled to his squad leader - a Master Sergeant Ida Longbottom (sister to MRL politician Omar Longbottom). Mstsgt. Longbottom moved over to Giovanni's position and looked around, but didn't see anything. That didn't bode well with Longbottom, who'd studied the urban combat during the War of Liberation and understood this could easily be an ambush. Nonetheless, she was under orders to observe the two forces, not to engage either of them in combat.

"Keep your eyes open, troopers, something's fishy about this," Longbottom called out just as a bullet slammed into the throat of Pvt. Giovanni. Immediately, Longbottom and the ten other soldiers of the squad hit the dirt, just as the hammering of a machine gun was heard. It sounded all too familiar to her - she'd heard that machine gun report before, during Basic.

On silent commands, she ordered her unit to push on the hostile position, and two soldiers popped up to a crouching position. One began returning fire, the other pulled out a grenade and after pulling the pin hurled it into the building. After waiting for the explosion, Longbottom and her squad charged in, assault rifles at the ready. They traded shots with the enemy breifly, then everything was eerily silent. There'd only been three insurgents, not specifically of the fatwah, and one had been captured alive. Also found was the machine gun - and Longbottom was astonished at the type of weapon it was.

"A PsiPronian-issue LMG? How did this get here?' she wondered aloud, then nodded to their radioman, Private Abram Sphincter, "Sphinx, contact AORDO HQ and let 'em know what happened... also tell 'em we captured a hostile and are awaiting further orders. When you're done with that, get a medivac over here to take Giovanni back to the base."
