Operation White Bird, Beta Squad (Part Three) “Damn it…” Aya held her hand up to her earpiece. “Sylvia, shields. Alicia, if you see her, hit her with a mind control. Even if it doesn’t work, it’ll reveal a fake. Fay, you’re the sniper here. If it was you, where would you be hiding?” Fay...

Operation White Bird, Beta Squad (Part Two) “Keep on her!” Aya rushed forward out of cover, using the sniper’s incapacitation to push forward. Charging energy in her right hand, she fired at Rampel in an attempt to pin her down. “My turn to charge, bitch!” Sensing the challenge, Rampel leaped...

Operation White Bird: Alpha Team Mission (Part Three) As Emily dealt with Kafziel, Mary was still in Reheal’s grasp. Mary slowly moved one of her hands up to her chest, feeling a large hole where her heart should be. Her vision blurred as she coughed up a large amount of blood, pain filling...

Probably about two weeks, three at the most, until this story is up. Then a break, and a new season that'll open the doors for new people to join in.
