I am a space marine
in halo, storm trooper type gear
on alien world
dream one
my unit and I
find ourselves in a mall
under attack
some how we have no air support because no one is on the ship
some how we have no advanced warning because we posted no guards
some how we can't return fire because we are out of uniform and
weapons not ready
some how we are taking heavy fire because we haven't deployed battle
mechs
but how could we be in a mall that is filled with human females on an
alien planet?
there's a cosmetics counter over there
I am hit.
dream 2
armored unit with mobile artillery support.
i am in mobile artillery using computer enhanced vision
high speed light vehicles detected but no visuals
probable trajectories being computed
i select a combination of 4 kinds of rounds in my 2 pods to meet what
ever is coming of the hill
the light tracked vehicle appears out of nowhere comes over the hill
in the air
guidance systems locked I fire pod one
the enemy shudders as it races down the hill
a couple seconds later it explodes
later we have stopped for maintenance and I reload the pod magazines
