"This is Hunter class Intruder, call letters 3114-Allen-Ocean-Iowa outbound from obital station Alpha 3. Carrying equipment, personnel and level 3 prisoner containment. Requesting docking clearance."

...

"This is Phobos traffic control, send us your clearance codes...now."

"Uploading..."

"3114-Allen-Ocean-Iowa, you are cleared to enter airspace. Proceed to docking bay 4."

"Acknowledged...vectoring."

 

 

...

The heavy military transport came into view of the traffic control tower as it approached the specified docking bay with an unhurried speed. The massive doors of bay 4 which bore the letters UAC slid open, silent in the vacuum of cold dead space. As soon as the ship had landed, the stern face Sergeant wasted no time offloading their prisoners.

"Alright ladies, hurry up! Don't make me pull ya!" he barked gruffly through his cigar and mustache. "LeBean! Give me a head count!"

A short man of Irish decent rolled out with a weathered clipboard and shouted the names of those whom the Sarge spoke of.

"Riley..."

"...yea..."

"Miles..."

"...uh huh..."

"Alvarez..."

"..."

"Alvarez..."

"Can't you see me, shithead."

"LeBean, get it done!!"

He checks the clipboard. "Brown and Blazkowicz. That's all of them!"

Brown laughs, "Blazkowicz? The Hell kinda name is that?"

"Shut your pie hole, Brown," Sarge piped, as the main door opens after a successful softseal. "You're in the pit with him and 5 consecutive life sentences. Ain't no way you all getting parole! Hope you like the view."

Outside gracing the sky through a glass portal, red dirt of red planet glowed in the Martian sunlight. The planet named for the God of War. Mars.

And this place...

This place will be...their...
