Betrayal>omega:The enemy within: first Blood
The Young soldier was back.. in record time, The man in Black noted with satisfaction. Now to see if omega command had survived. He thumbed the talk key : Omega Prime to Omega secundus, Over.
The reponse, quick and unhurried, Brought another smile to his face ..” Omega secundus reading Omega prime , Please authenticate,over” for all the polite phrasing, He knew a fumble would only end his Career as a Brahmos homed in on his radio signal and came screaming in at a little over mach six.
“ Omega prime authenticates Bravo-Alpha-niner-Zulu- Foxtrot, standby for squeal from comsats on K-band, vertical polarity. Omega Control is off the net , I say again, Omega control is off the net.,Acknowledge” and hoped like hell the computer had managed to upload everything for the burst transmission”
“ Secundus acknowledges squeal and authenticates Get-the-fucking-bastards, Over”. Another freeze the seven hells smile.
“ Omega control is compromised, I repeat, Omega Control is compromised: Omega is abandoning primary , we have cockroaches in the kitchen, Over”
A touch more emotion,this time” Omega Prime acknowledges, Control is down, Executing Firestorm . ETA on target is 90 seconds .. i repeat, ETA is 90 seconds .MOVE MOVE MOVE”.
And then there was nothing except a mad dash for safety. Amazingly, All of them made it out.. except one raider who had been hiding somewhere. Five hypersonic missiles , right on the dot. Secundus had loaded thermite. Jeez. The man literally jumped off the building and vaporized in midair.
Less than ten seconds later, The pickup arrived, and the Man in Black felt pride once more. Goddamn, His kids were good.. no, The best. That pilot had burned some rubber getting here.
The communicator buzzed” omega prime to Alpha prime, Confirm roasted rats, over”
“alpha prime acknowledges bar-b-q pit. Good shooting. I have men on the ground and that bird isn’t big enough , Over”
Hesitation, this time” Alpha prime, that is Your plane sir, The others are on the way, We have incoming Erasers on that site, we don’t know whose yet”
“ Alpha prime acknowledges, lets get out of here.. and a hand signal sent his men scattering away from the incoming nuclear fireball, as the VTOL touched down.
“The pilot took one look and went ashen..” sir, you are hit” . The man in Black bit back his anger and smiled.. “ No I am not, But I need to be at omega prime ASAP, let’s see if you can set a new record, shall we” and the world dissolved into dust. As the VTOL turned into a whirlwind..and the pilot redlined his four engines…
The flight to the new Omega prime gave him enough time to catch up… Events had been moving like a badly choreographed movie, No time to think .. time to take a few breaths..Then the word” erasers” popped up. Omega secundus , now Omega prime , knew more than he did. So whose special forces and whose eraser..Then he looked at the watch: 7 minutes from first contact. minutes in which Omega had transformed.. and the countdown had not stopped: 22 minutes to operation Aryan nation. “shit”
No other word sufficed. The man in black brooded as the craft raced for the New Omega prime.
Omega was at war, with no enemy in sight.
