[Metcalfer National News intro]The camera faded to a female reporter in front of a picture from the Kaiser’s press conference.
“Today Kaiser William Metcalfe gave a press conference to talk about the current Khataiy invasion of Turkey and our first casualty in the Metcalfern intervention, let’s go to it now”.
The screen switched to the footage of that day’s press conference and the Kaiser speaking “unfortunately I must report that we lost a brave warrior of Metcalfer today, MJF-27, or as he was known to his friends and family, Hans Sikorsky, was killed in action this morning forty kilometres away from the beleaguered city of Osmaniye when the ordinance he was carrying was detonated by a pair of Khataiy jets, but I’m pleased to inform you that vengeance was swift and that Hans’s wingman destroyed both enemy aircraft and completed their mission” William took a breath before continuing
“I will tell you this, that the bombing Hans’s wingmen completed is only a taste of what is to come, you shall see hell warriors of Khataiy, that is a promise, thank you for your time” William gave a wave before walking off the podium with the image changing back to the female reporter “now to other news from today”.

Osmaniye, Turkey, 11:00 PMIn the dark of night death came from high attitude, a fleet of 25 X-33 Bombers reached their target, each carrying a payload of 300 Napalm filled free fall bombs. In the cabin of one of the bombers two crewmen conversed while they sat at their stations.
“
I honestly thought the Kaiser was being poetic when he said that the Khataiy were going to see hell, I didn’t realise we were going to Dresden them” “victory at any cost my comrade, they should be glad that we are not using the Chlorine Trifluoride, I heard the lot that those Mongols dropped is still burning” “
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised, I still don’t know why we still use that shit, everybody except for the M.O.L’s are too shit scared to use the stuff, give me Napalm any d..” the conversation was interrupted by the screech of the Missile lock alarm “
AA missiles locked onto us, engaging ECM and Point Defence Weapons”.
Racing up to the high attitude Bombers was a mixture of Manpad and SAM launched missiles, the majority were disrupted by ECM while the remaining few were shredded by Automatic Grenade Launchers mounted to hulls of the planes.
The two crew men breathed a sigh of relief as they finally reached their target zone, the southern portion of the city of Osmaniye. Each of the 25 bombers bellies open up reviling their incendiary guts “releasing now, let’s make Bomber Harris smile with pride boys”. Each and every one of the 300 Napalm filled bombs dropped from the aircraft, upon reaching the ground the bombs each created an almost beautiful mosaic of oranges and reds as the wall of flames engulfed the streets and buildings of the unfortunate city.
The Bombers peeled away once the deed was done, our two crewmen turned each other “eat ya heart out Bomber Harris” (hahahah).

Kurtkulağı, Turkey, 11:45 PM Alex now covered in a mixture of dust and militiaman blood sat down with a heavy thud before talking to an equally tired Charles “
well I guess Jerome wasn’t kidding when he said they were well motivated, and that was just the militiamen, emphasis on was” Alex surveyed the area that the Militiamen had been coming from, what he could see from the fires illuminating the area that was once palm trees and yellow dirt was now a miasma of blackened soot and red militiamen innards, something that tends to happen when you focus the combined efforts of 500 mercenaries, Turks with Artillery, a handful of armoured vehicles, a Mine field and three light aircraft on some highly motivated militiamen.
“
Another victory for Obsidian Scythian PMC International” Alex turned to look at the smoking Charles and began observing the green tipped bullets that Charles was feeding into his MG3 “
say Charlie boy I haven’t seen green bullets before” Charles looked up with a humph of amusement “you haven’t seen these before, M.U.B’s, Metcalfern made and supplied, these specific bad boys are hollow points full of an acid named Hydra Venom” “
acid, the sort of fuck is this shit” “it’s Metcalfern, they think that the Geneva Convention would cuck them as a nation, but any way this is some hard core shit, I once saw a minigun full of this kill a Abraham’s, the ones I have put in my old girl make death really painful if the bullets don’t kill you first” “
that’s fucking diabolical, I’ll just stick with FMJ’s” “suit yourself”.
The men’s conversation was broken as a fellow merc ran up to them “did you guys hear, Osmaniye is currently cosplaying as Dresden during WW2, there’s talk that the Khataiy army will probably be coming this way” after hearing this Alex turned to the direction of Osmaniye to see a intense orange glow in the distance “
fucking Metcalfern’s man”

Al-Iskanderounah Police headquarters, Khataiy, 8:39 AMAdes made his way steadily to his captains office, meeting him this early in the morning was unnerving but he had to go through with it. Upon reaching his captains door he heard the call to enter before he even knocked, upon entering the room he was greeted by his captains face curled into something that resembled approval “please Ades have a seat” upon closing the door Ades responded “
may I ask what I’am here for?”
“Yes Ades, your here to talk about the task you carried out the other night, tell me what happened” “
I did as instructed, I covered in the door handles of the cars in the white powder” “the Anthrax?” Ades’s stomach dropped with his suspicions confirmed “
yes” “what happened next” “
after finishing the final car I was attacked by a man who believed that I was trying to steal his car” Ades’s thoughts turned to the moment when he stomped on the man’s face “
I made sure that he didn’t see my face with the face mask, and even if he did I don’t think he would be able to tell any one any time soon, I then stole his wallet to make it look like a robbery” “where is the wallet?” “
Destroyed, I burnt it along with every piece of clothing I had on, I dumped the ashes down a drain on the opposite side of the city” the captain smiled before placing a folder on the desk “I trained you well, your actions hospitalised 52 people so far, the people whose cars you sabotaged, the first responders who tended the man you injured, some passerby’s and of course family members who interacted with people who had Anthrax on them”.
Ades tried to process the information before the captain continued “don’t worry Ades more than likely the infected will die, but as to be expected the government is having a fit over it, they have got the entire block under quarantine and are calling for blood but this leads into your next mission” Ades took a big gulp before asking “
what’s my mission” “there is a vehicle waiting down below, your brother is in it, you will be told what your mission is on arrival, may Moloch favour you” “
and you my brother”.
Ades left the room and made his way to the garage, upon entering he jogged to the running vehicle. Turning to his brother Hamui he gave a shaky smile before remarking “
off we go”.
