The story of a team-fusion
Insidejob->FTS
***Cracking gunfire marks the scenery. In between every now and then
artillery impacts make buildings shake. Yellow and white smoke clouds
wave through ruined buildings, gardens and over the streets. No birds
which you can usually hear in this village. No dogs barking. It is like
it always is if you enter the theater of war:
Tanks are the leading actors - rifles the supporting actors and all controlled by human.***
A five man team hides behind a wall doing their situation report. One of them is called "Staatsfeind".
He doesnt remember how he got the name. His eyes look tired. Blitheness ? - Just a memory.
To his right: Jimmy, but all call him "The old dog". He doesnt want to talk about why he is still
in a fighting squad. Rumors say he had been degraded from Captain to SGT.Major for refusing to obey orders.
Others say he rejected promotion just to be able to do exactly this job: fighting.
"Akustav" the weapon specialist, "R0machka" the IT and electronics specialist and "Sensman" the scout
are standing to staatsfeinds left.
All five from different intelligences of different nations. Their mission : a special reconnaissance.
That was months ago - things went terribly wrong and now they find themselves in the center of
a war they have never awaited.
Supplies depleted, support-lines still not assembled they were calling for help. No one listened.
No response.
...Until that day...
*** 10 minutes earlier *** scene-change ***
Soulimanos squad has crossed the river bridge. 11 man are awaiting his
orders. All specialists, none rookie, faces looking at him signed by
fighting experience.
He gives the order to re-group. The heavy tank chains creak while its 45° turn to give some cover.
"We have entered waypoint one" Soulimano says to his camerads and
throws gently a package Gauloise to Sup, the second in command.
Sup takes a cigarette and passes the package to Fabiolo who catches it
with one hand. With the other he draws into the sand. "This is our
position" he says, "...and this is waypoint 2. We should not follow the
direct waypath to... "
Soulimanos radio receives some weird sounds. He cant understand it and
turns it louder as well as seperates a bit from the group while Sup is
still explaining the next steps for the team.
Radio: " ... ouiiiihhh sschhschhh rrrkkk This is Staatsfeind ...
sssschhhrrrrrrr Insidejob.... schhhhrrrreeek do you read ? We need
help... ssschrrrr under heavy fire.... ccchhhhhhrrrrrr uuuuiiiii
Position: n12:z45 sschhrrrr nato schrrekk command ..... uuuuiiiiiiiii

The FTS squad looks at Soulimano.
"Shall we help them ?", Johan asks.
The team agree and move to the coordinates.
...
From now on they fight together at the frontline.
... the bodies shake while the tanks blast out their devastating ammunition.
... as an insidejob ends others will come...
... and result in Casus Belli ...
... the war has just begun...
