(USS Exeter -  Shuttle Leonardo – ACTO Ensign Paul Sleeford 10:00)

Sitting next to the doctor, Sleeford caught the setting on the phaser before the doctor quickly reset it, getting comfortable in the seat he smiled as the doctor replied to his query.

“Just a little distracted Ensign, this mission is a little too close to home.”

Nodding understanding Sleeford knew that the FO was the doctors sister, nodding to the phaser Sleeford gave ghost of a smile.

“Lets hope you wont need to use that.”

Folding his hands in his lap, Sleeford closed his eyes and relaxed he knew it was going to be a short flight and he would need to be alert and ready on landing.  Feeling the slight bump as Ravok  flew the shuttle into the atmosphere of the planet, taking a deep breath Sleeford opened his eyes and began the process of clearing his mind of everything except the mission at hand. Hearing the order from up front for More to fire Sleeford began to tighten the straps on his rig, reaching down he pulled the laces of his boots tighter.  As the shuttle began the landing  sequence Sleeford slowly released a breath and waited for instructions.


" I'm taking us in for a landing  Ensign Sleeford , when we land take point"



Looking to the front of the shuttle, Sleeford nodded, realising that no one could see him he smiled slightly and spoke, “Understood sir.”



Reaching for his rifle and making sure the power pack was secure, Sleeford turned on the power and slipped his right arm through the strap.

Stepping out of the shuttle Sleeford went to the left and dropped to his knee behind the hull of the shuttle, scanning the distant hills, the ground around him was desolate, barren to the extent of being a desert. Finding nothing he started to relaxed when Blackwell and Ravok went down in a tumble of bodies, the shout of Sniper brought Sleeford’s rifle up to his shoulder and the sights to his eye. Scanning the rocks above them he could see nothing, watching he thought he caught a slight movement in the rocks above them and 600 meters forward.

“More move to the right, 50 meters, kick up as much dust as you can. Blackwell, same distance left, kick up dust, if he’s laser sighting it will show up.”

(Reply More, Blackwell)

As the pair moved Sleeford watched as the dust kicked up floated round the left hand side of the shuttle, watching a thin red line appear, Sleeford smiled.  Following the line as it disappeared out of the dust Sleeford spotted a nook in the rocks ,he’d missed the first time. Looking to his sides he saw the other two officers down on the deck, aiming forward.

“More, Blackwell, there’s a small nook in the rocks, 600 out, 300 up. Our snipers there, at will. “

As the other two fired, Sleeford squeezed his trigger and watched as shards of rock flew into the air just below where he’d indicated.
