"Its Silver Blade". Silver Blade?" asked Lieutenant Mesa. "Silver Blade was one of the TDF Veterans who joined to help us when UF was first formed. Once we got going though he effectively disappeared, I wasn't even aware that he had UF Intelligence Clearance". I was not aware that he was either, Commander; however, the code does match the one he used back when he was with us". Sounds to me like he and some of the UF Forces of Luna may have joined forces.

That could explain the frequency he is on could it not". Yes, Lieutenant, that would be my guess as well". Will you send a squad to investigate?" Feret looked at Mosfet. It was clear that he still did not wish to risk the operation, by sending a squad to investigate. However, he had to agree with what was said as well, their mission has always been to protect humanity. "I still think that it is risky.

First, if we send a squad we cannot hang around in Luna Orbit waiting for a response. The timetable for the Earth Strike operation depends on it. Whatever squad I did send might be sent on a suicide mission. We have little intelligence on what the Cybrids actually have on Luna.

Logistically supporting such a mission is a nightmare". Well, Commander, some would have said dropping night division onto Luna on its retreat from terra when the Cybrids first showed up was a suicide mission, yet we were able to pull it off and dealt the Cybrids their first blow in their bid for the sol". Yes, Colonel, those same people would have said that by so doing we drew the Cybrids to mars far sooner then they would have normally arrived. Whether that is true or not we may never know. Suppose this is true and the Cybrids capture one of them and extract the information about the Earth Strike operation, the last thing we or the Terran front needs is another Battle of Boulder". Mosfet shook his head in agreement and then replied.

"True though this may be, Commander, the original UF did what it did because it felt it was the only way humanity can survive. As vital as the Earth Strike operation may be, it has little hope of helping defeat the Cybrids on terra. It is true that destroying the Hydra factories will help humanity in the long run, but it as this is a quick land, seek, and destroy mission, it is doubtful that our presence on Luna though short lived will ever be appreciated by the Cybrids who for all intense and purposes will likely not see us as a threat". Feret contemplated what Mosfet had said.

He was right, their mission from the get go had been to protect and defend humans. The survivors on Luna may have some knowledge to pass on that could affect the outcome of this Star siege. He nodded his head and decided it might be worthwhile. "Ok Colonel, begin drawing up the plans for a Luna drop and extraction operation. Use any HERC ready pilots. Remember to exclude those assigned to the Earth Strike operation.

Also, factor in a return time of at least thirty days before we can extract them. I need to make sure we have at least a month in case we have troubles on Terra". I will begin drawing up plans right away, Commander". You have three hours to plan this operation, Colonel. If that is not enough time to prepare then we will scrub the mission.

We must drop and move to Terran orbit within twelve standard hours". I will do my best, Feret". Feret looked at the Lieutenant still simmering over the decision. "Lieutenant, I would like you to assist him, and lead the Pilots on Luna until we return.

Do you think you are up to it?" Yes, Sir, just say the word and We " ll give those toasters a black eye and a toe stomping they have not felt in a long time". I will be counting on it Lieutenant, remember it could be thirty days before the Yeshua can return to extract you. So you must hold on until then regardless". I understand, Sir. I accept this mission gladly". Good you two begin the preparations.

I need to check the status of the Earth Strike preparations.".
