Michael O'Shay<br/><br/>"Yes sir.  Reaper, you're with me in Bravo.  Rome, you're with the LT.  Zippo, take point with the flamethrower.  I'll be behind you.  Reaper, you follow me.  Widow, bring up the rear.  We'll be moving ahead, while Alpha watches the rear and provides cover fire if necessary.  All right, people, move out."<br/><br/>As the squad began to secure the facility, his unease only continued to grow.  " 'Looks like everybody just picked up and left.  That never means anything good," he thought.  On such a far-flung world, there was no place for them to go.  He wondered what the colonists might have known that he didn't.<br/><br/>It took every ounce of his trained willpower to keep his dread in check.  No matter what, he had a responsibility to fulfill the mission.  Doubts should be listened to, but not allowed to take over one's thoughts.  He was a Marine.  He had fought the A.U.P.P. in the final years on New Taiwan.  He had participated in the counter invasion on Giap's Point.  He had conquered and reconquered his fear.  He was not going to let his fear get the best of him.<br/><br/>"Check your corners.  Watch for anything strange.  Most of all, stay frosty."<br/><br/>
