Aboard the Mother of Intervention the Freelancer were about to be debriefed by the director.

"So what do you think our mission is going to be York?" asked Wash.

"I don't know but it's probably really tough if they Tex and Carolina."

"Ya probably right." said Wash.

A few minutes later the Director came in. "Everyone take your seats now." He said in a cold voice. "We retrieved some intel of an interventionist facility on the planet Cerberus." "We'll be sending you to retrieve as much data you can." Said the director.

"That's it? Seems easy enough." said South.

"Not so fast agent South. I'm not finish. You'll be drop off six miles from the facility which an army will be waiting for you so the plan is to sneak into the facility only use force if need. you'll be leaving in five hours, understood."

"Sir yes sir." said the agents in unison.

"Dismissed."

"Hey York, quick question." said Wash.

"Ya what is it ."

"Isn't Cerberus the ghost planet?"

"No it's just a independent mining colony ."

" Ok thanks, see ya."

"See ya."

A few hours later the agents were at loading bay. "Alright lets load up." said 479er. "I want to get the ground before the pressure storm gets any worse."

"Uh what the hell is a pressure storm?" asked York.

"A pressure storm is a common occurrence on Cerberus. It's where the pressure in a certain area is greater. Fortunately theres only a 34% chance that the pelican will implode."

"Thanks Delta thats reinsuring." York said in a sarcastic tone.

"Do I have time to update my will." Wash offered with a worry some look.

"Sorry Wash we got to go." said 479er. Then they started to take off. As they made their way into the atmosphere the Pelican started to shake uncontrollably.

"Hey Delta is this that pressure storm you were talking about." said North.

"Yes though it's weaker than I expected."

"This is weak! Then I can imagine what a strong one is like."

"God I think I'm going to puke." said CT.

"Don't even think about it Connie. I just cleaned it." screamed 479er.

"Too late." yelled south.

" Dammit." yelled 479er.

"Hey how much longer till we reach the ground." said Carolina.

"A few more minutes. Oh CT your cleaning that up." said 479er. A few minutes later the freelancers had landed on the ground. As the cargo hold opened Ct ran out and puked some more in the jungle.

"Gross." said Theta.

"Alright radio in when you need evac. I'll be right here cleaning vomit." said 479er with a annoyed look.

"That was hell of a ride." said Wash with a grin.

"Shut up." said CT.

"Let's move out." said Tex.

"So Tex, do you know what the plan is?" asked North.

"Move in and get the data and get out quietly."

"So how do you plan to do that?"

"Just leave it to me." Said Tex in a angry tone. As the freelancers made there way through the jungle there was a faint cry for help.

"Hey did you guys hear that." said North.

"Ya, it sounds like a kid. We should go check it." suggested Wash.

"Negative, we keep moving." said Carolina.

"Come on Carolina, what happens if the kids hurt or something." said York.

"Fine you,Washington and North go check it we'll keep moving."

"Fine."

As they made their way down to the cries they saw a young boy no older than six screaming for help. "Hey kid you alright?" asked York. When the kid saw them his face show a terrified expression. "Wo take it easy I'm here to help." He said as he removed his helmet. After the child saw Yorks face his face change to a curious look. " What's wrong?" York Asked the boy in a soothing voice.

"My mommy's really hurt, some scary men came by and started to shoot at us. She told me to run and hide so I did and when the loud noises were done I found her really hurt." the boy said with fear in his eyes.

"Can you show me where she is?"

"Yes sir."

"Alright Wash, North follow me."

"Can you tell me what the men looked liked?" asked Washington.

"They wore helmets and stuff like you." said the boy.

"Alright you guys go a head I'll caught up." said York. "Carolina Carolina come in."

"What York?"

"I was right it was a kid. It seems like he and his mother were attacked by interactionist, his mother may have been wounded I'll inform you more details later."

"Alright stick with the kid and help the mom Carolina out." A few moments later the boy had lead them to his mother and what saw was saddening they found a woman lying down bleeding and coughing up blood.

"Mommy I got help now you'll be better." said the boy in a cheery tone.

"Austin thank you." said the women.

"Alright i'm going to see what I can do so Austin hows bout you go play with Wash and York." said North.

"Come on buddy." said York.

"So."

"Sam." said the woman.

"So Sam can you tell me what happened?" asked North.

"Me and my son were walking to town when some interactionist chased us and shot at us." said Sam.

"So where were you hit?" Just then she lifted up here blood stained shirt to reveal six rounds in her stomach.

"Alright I'm going to see what I can do but can you tell me where the boys fathers is while I patch you up."

"dead." She said with pain in her voice.

"I sorry for your loss."

"Don't be he died while trying save civilians besides he been dead for three years now."

"If you don't mind me asking but what war did he fight?" asked North.

" You ever heard of the Feuer and Eis civil war?"

"Ya I have."

"He was stationed their to help them, but when some of the rebels started to use mortar fire on a civilian camp he and some other soldiers tried to stop them but he and a few others gave their life to save many others."

"Lets just skip to the point. I'm not going to make it just promise me this you'll keep him safe please!"

"Don't talk like that you'll be fine I'll get you help."

"Just promise me please."

"I promise." North said.

Just then she cough more and more til blood pour from her mouth. "No! Wash get over here quick now!" When Wash got over to North It was too late she was dead. North closed her eyes and felt sorry for the now orphaned boy.

"Should we tell?" asked Washington.

"No he's too young."
