Z19’s time off went by rather quickly. But he managed to modify the new arm before it was over. It now could hit harder, could be electrified, and had a built in grappling hook.
Z19 met with the general on the eighth day in the training range.
“General Austin!”
Z19 saluted.
“Good to see you alive, Warrior. Are you ready to practice? There is a pressing matter you must prepare for. Meet me here tomorrow at 12. Good luck.”
“Yes sir!”
Z19 watched him leave, then ran over to the sniper rifles department. He shot a few rounds, most hit, but not very accurately.
“Time to work on aiming.”
Z19 thought. He walked to the accuracy simulation room and closed the sim-pod’s door. A virtual world appeared in front of him. He was in a huge city, with targets running, a few hundred meters down range. After a few hours, Z19 regained his accuracy with a rifle. Time for close combat.
His CQC abilities were only enhanced as his new arm could incapacitate enemies in a multitude of ways. The day passed and Z19 only trained. He came back to his room exhausted and ready for a good night’s sleep.
The morning blew by quickly and Z19 met the General right on time. He saluted once again, and the General told him to follow him to a briefing room.
“Are you ready for a mission?”
“Yes sir!”
“Good, one of our intel members recently defected and is trying to sell CGC intel to those rebels. He is in the city of Aurora right under this ship. Here is his picture, we are requesting that you bring him and the buyer here. Alive.”
“Solo operation?”
“Yes, they will meet tonight at 10:30 exactly. We don’t know where they will be doing this so you will have to tail our little mole there. Good luck Warrior, there is a ship waiting for you in the hangar.”
“I won’t fail General. But, will I have anyone guiding me? Any intel?”
“We have an operator on standby. Contact them when you reach the drop ship.”
“Thank you.”
Z19 left and tucked the young man’s picture in his cloak. Here goes nothing...
