4 AM Local Time, Capital Outskirts
Gorr's platoon was ready, awaiting the cargo hold doors to open so they could make their arial decent upon the Ankus capital. They were to work in tandem with another platoon led by Maximus Dram. The two had served once before, and Gorr took a liking to the man after they took Terminus for the Empire. Now, it was their time to take another planet into the service of the Empire yet again. After giving the planet several chances to join the Empire, they were now going to join by force or die trying to rebel. Did no one see the order the Empire brought? These foolish systems thinking they could sit on the fence- the Empire owned the fence.
"Phantoms, ready for departure." Gorr spoke into his coms so all his comrades could hear him. "We all know our orders; Clear a path for Lieutenant Dram's platoon to make it to the capital building. Once their inside, we make sure no one else gets in or out. We are only forty strong, but they have no idea we're coming... Let's make forty men feel like four thousand." The light in the hold changed to red, they were nearly there now. Adrenaline pulsed through the White Wolf, giving him an anxious desire to bloody his claws again. The rest of the soldiers felt the same way, all of their hearts pacing quickly, but Gorr did not smell fear- only excitement.
"Green means go!" The light flashed to green and the cargo doors opened. Gorr led his men in the front, being the first to leap out of the Tooth N' Claw followed by the rest of his soldiers. Like a black shroud, they plunged through the clouds, descending upon their target. Once they breached the clouds, the capital was in sight and the main road that led directly to the Governor's office building was quiet, lit by street lamps. As the Phantoms drew in closer, they would all be able to make out the guards on post on the rooftops- they needed to go first if Maximus was going to get far.
