Location: Planet of Sky Haven in the U.S.E capital New Washington
Personnel: Command team and high ranking personnel within the U.S.I.A.N.A.C.

FBGC Phoenix: "And You're sure of this"?

FBGC Corona: "I'm certain and willing to bet my life on it".

FBGC Phoenix: "You do realize what could happen if this goes tits up right"?

FBGC Corona: "We can't return for another two thousand years and we can't properly stop the bullshit that's going to come out of it soon"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Exactly. It's home but it's also dangerous. Looking at the scans and simulations of the planet it looks like the tectonic plates have shifted since we've been gone. Then again that should have been expected when we don't eyeball the fucker".

FBGC Corona: "Not like we could have dropped permanent satellites in orbit and maintained communications with them at the time. Between space debris, corrosion, and the distance we covered when leaving it we would have lost contact in the end anyways".

FBGC Phoenix: "I know but it would have been nice if a satellite had survived though I know that in and of itself is wishful thinking. Still though, we need a plan".

Humming is heard as something pings in the background.

Unknown: "Is everything going alright Commander"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Everything is fine Nightmare but could you please bring up the orbital surveillance we took in the last year"?

Nightmare: "Of course commander".

Another hum is heard followed by a click.

Nightmare: "Displaying Earth and it's current readings".

FBGC Corona: "Nightmare what's the climate like on Earth"?

Nightmare: "Earth remains stable having been quiet for the past two thousand years that we know of. Lack of cracks, lava flows, or masses of burning forests indicate Earth has recovered since we left during the second Exodus. Though there are higher levels than normal of carbon, it's small but consistent with the same levels when the second world war was in full swing. Thermal imaging and scans have shown massive cities below though some appear to either be on fire themselves. This leads me to two options. One some of them are having a massive run of bad luck or......".

FBGC Phoenix: "Or we're looking at another world war with millions of casualties which would explain the carbon output. Decaying bodies and factories would produce those types of emissions. Nightmare show us where the carbon build up is highest".

Another humming is heard before several pings are heard.

Nightmare: "I am currently counting thirty five large carbon or above average carbon. Twenty seem to be coming from primitive factories, six are coming from burning cities, and the other nine appear to be....of unknown purpose though are in forests near cities".

FBGC Corona: "Excuse me"?

Nightmare: "Apologies, I am unable to deduce or gather more information as to the reason for these nine existing where they are though I have some theories".

FBGC Phoenix: "I swear if you say mass graves I'm getting drunk within the next five minutes....or trying to. Fucking metabolism, fucking Angelus anti-toxin capabilities".

FBGC Corona: "Yeah no, I've seen you drunk a long time ago. You with your poor alcohol tolerance level ,while funny, is not fun to deal with".

FBGC Phoenix: "Fuck you".

FBGC Corona: "Only if you call me papi".

FBGC Phoenix: "Dude.....".

FBGC Corona: "Don't offer if you're going to back out like a pussy. Remember that one time you got drunk and shoved a Bad Dragon dildo up your ass"?

FBGC Phoenix: "THAT IS NOT FUCKING CANON"!

FBGC Corona: "Fine fine. You're right but I was hoping you'd freak out".

FBGC Phoenix: "You're an asshole".

FBGC Corona: "No I'm not. Assholes take dicks, I don't, I give. The correct term is dick".

FBGC Phoenix: "Fuck this, let's just get back to the matter at hand".

FBGC Corona: "Anyways, since we don't know for sure what those carbon hot spots might be I say we send a SK team to investigate and establish contact with whoever's cities are currently burning. If some other species has moved in or evolved there then we need to either kick them off the planet if they moved in or negotiate a peace deal if they evolved there. The last thing we need to do is slaughter a race that's just starting out".

FBGC Phoenix: "I mean, pretty sure it goes against doctrine anyways".

FBGC Corona: "True, we can't just curb stomp their species with a blood lust missile".

Nightmare: "Gentlemen, if we are sending a team to make contact then who's to reinforce them? Do either of you know a unit capable of getting things done in a short window or that you can trust not to ruin this chance"?

FBGC Corona: "I have no one. Don't get me wrong, my officers and NCOs are fucking fantastic but they wouldn't move fast enough and are better at commanding invasions and defenses against the Drey".

FBGC Phoenix: "I....have someone in mind. I've fought with him several times. He's a good man, moves fast, kind of brash and has butted heads with his higher ups more than once but he gets the job done and likes to forget secrets deliberately. How did he say it? There's no secrets if I can't fucking remember them".

FBGC Corona: "Snerk hahahahaha. Sounds like a good guy and a sarcastic ass. I like him".

FBGC Phoenix: "He's not bad...you just kind of have to have a hands off approach with him. Just point him at what needs killing or tell him what needs to be done and leave him alone after that. He hates interference from anyone not on the field with him and hates it even more when they don't know what they're talking about. I watched him smash a major in the face due to him having enough of his shit. Only reason he didn't get in trouble is a good soldier knows when to hit an officer in the mouth, that was one of those moments....well that and I had him transferred to a unit under my chain of command".

FBGC Corona: "What unit is that"?

FBGC Phoenix: "The 375th LDT".

FBGC Corona: "The 375th LDT? Aren't they known as Crippling Anxiety"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Yeeeeaaaahhhh. They weren't exactly the best unit around. I had a lot of officers request transfer from the unit. Kind of why I put him there. He had the rebellious attitude combined with the sense of duty that I needed to get them under control. I mean, if you had an entire battalion who's rep for following orders were about as good as a retarded headless chicken wouldn't you have crippling anxiety if you got assigned to them"?

FBGC Corona: "Yeah...no....fuck that. He manages to get them to operate though"?

FBGC Phoenix: "He does one better. After he got there he turned them around I have to say they're one of the best damn units I've ever seen in combat and one of the nuttiest. They are a giant meme to be honest".

FBGC Corona: "As in"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Diese Hundin Leer Yeeeet"!

FBGC Corona: "Meaning"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Meaning they don't give a fuck. They will literally lob grenades like they're fucking mortars or in one unfortunate case...attach them to cows, slap it's ass, and send it in to enemy lines followed by a pack of Cyber wolves. The grenades are great for making a hole but with the cow meat everywhere....you can guess what the Cyber wolves did".

FBGC Corona: "Weren't those a failed experiment that we sent out to get destroyed in the battlefield due to their inability to follow commands"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Yeah and they some how found a way to make it fucking work".

FBGC Corona: "So unconventional, fast, and capable of dealing with a lot shit. I like it. Who's their commander"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Gerad".

FBGC Corona: "Oh shit. You know diplomacy is not his strong suite. If this blows up it's on your ass. I wont even blame him".

FBGC Phoenix: "I have faith. Either he'll learn to talk, Jame T. Kurk the shit and fuck the locals while losing his virginity in the process, or he'll just be as closed off as ever".

Nightmare: "Well that's added to the roster. Shall I dispatch the SK team now"?

FBGC Phoenix: "Go ahead Nightmare. I'll see you later at the end of this Corona. Have a fleet ready in case the Drey try to fuck this up though, I'll have one already there but you know how they like to pop up".

FBGC Corona: "Don't worry, there's a new fleet completing ship production today so I can shift support to you. Honestly a light detail would be good for them".

FBGC Phoenix: "One more thing, Gerad will have total operational control on the ground forces. Anything that involves ground forces or in atmosphere objectives he has control over. He doesn't need any set backs. I don't care if they're a colonel, or five star general, his word and orders will hold more weight. The less bullshit he has to jump through the faster he can get this done".

FBGC Corona: "I'll have to move an officer or two but that shouldn't be a problem. Stay safe Phoenix".

FBGC Phoenix: "You too Corona. God be with us on this one".

A door is heard sliding open before shutting with a soft thud.

Author's Note

Hopefully this patches up some holes for you all. The U.S.E had begun surveillance on the planet long before the LDTs got there and had sent a team ahead of them.

Also The Diese Hundin Leer yeet meme is funny to look at.

Also, just a notice. This is how people joke and communicate in the military. Sex jokes, gay jokes, dark jokes, pretty much anything really innapropriate gets joked about by everyone even during briefings.
