The door chimed with a three-toned tweet that signified
someone at the door.
"Come in," spoke the man behind the desk with an authorative voice. The
steel
bulkhead door slid open with a low swish, admitting a tall, blond,
mid-30ish
woman dressed in a two-toned jumpsuit, a Smith and Wesson M2105
holstered on
her hip.
"Reporting as ordered," came the crips words from her lips. The man
looked up
from his viewscreen to the well-toned Major standing at rigidly in
attention.
At least disciplined hadn't laxed while he had been on vacation, he
idly mused
as he picked up a folder from his desk.
"Major Lumiere, you are to lead a retrieval mission. The mission
briefing is
in the folder."
"Sir?" asked the Major as she took the offered folder. "My team is not
trained
for engagement ops."
Sigh, so much for our vaunted discipline. "I did not say you and your
team,
Major," he remonstrated. "You will lead an ad-hoc team chosen by the
boys at
Sai Department."
"Since when do the eggheads at Sai pick field teams," she began as she
opened
the folder and started reading. "There has to be a mistake, I don't
think Sgt
Helsing is ready for field operations. He is... erratic."
"Table your complaints, Major. You have your orders. Sai wants Genesis,
don't
disappoint them."

Sgt Magnus Helsing comes to OTTO by route of the Swedish Ultra Project,
which
tried to create enhanced bio-armor for its space forces. An accident
during the
first test run left Helsing permanently grafted to his suit. Needless
to say he
did not take his new life well. OTTO was quick to see the benefits of a
super
soldier and their psychologists have been working extensively to bring
his
manic depression under control.
