3rd of Capricornian. 34th NLC. Phantom Police Guards HQ. 08:00 of morning.

Yulia Timoshenkova is at the High Command Office. With her, a paper that caught them by surprise.

?: Are you sure you wanna retire, Comrade Major?

Yulia: Yeah. I'm *sigh* I'm too old for this.

?: Yeah I reckon. Okay. We will accept but.....

Yulia: One last Mission?

?: Yeah. You will be commanding a PPG-MID Brigade on launching a raid attack on some island, suspected as a base of small remnants of the Cultist Militia.

Yulia: I accept. Who's on the team?

?: 6 of them this time. You'll be the seventh.

Yulia: Details?

?: Your objective is to wipe them out. All of them. No survivors. Also that island is strategic because its just at the doorstep of the Southern World, in turn, also near to our facilities there.

Yulia: I see.

?: All other details are on the file. Finish this and you can retire for good.

Yulia left the office. She hopes this will be quick as expected. On the top of that, Maria Nogova. One of the Heroes from the Joint LPA-SPF and PPG-MID Campaign from 20th NLC is also present for this mission. Yulia knew her from reports. After reading the details, she went to the team in full gear, then head to Lilyagrad for the dispatch.

Targeted Island. 3 hours later.

The 7-man team arrives at destination. For this, the LPN's 2nd Heavy Assault Fleet's 14th Cruiser Flotilla Group will be supporting them, with orders to "kill any cultists attempting to escape" by any means. The team also came with Magic Jammers. As soon as they arrived, the cultists were unprepared for the attack.

Yulia: The Mission goes like this: No survivors.

Yulia's team: Yes, Comrade Major.

It didn't take long before realizing this Mission was nothing short one-sided. On the top of that, cultists that try to run away from the island, were shot by the Flotilla Group acting as "Blockade Force"

?: What the? How is this allowed? This is bullshit. The cult must not die.

A demonman wants to run away, but with the Magic Jammers active, it failed to save him. Worst. Explosions, and his fellow cultists' dying screams, followed by Gunfire are ringing around. As he try to move, Yulia sees him, and shoots him quick. Although he dodged and run into cover, Yulia didn't stop shooting. Until an explosion ring onto him causing him to bleed severly.

?: Kugh!!!!! Who are you? This isn't what I anticipate for a fight. *wheezes in blood*

Yulia: Just a soldier passing by doing its job. Don't take this personal, kid. *Gunfire noise*

And just like that, Senior Major Yulia Timoshenkova, placed the last nail to the coffin of the Pro-Arghansus "Cult" Militia. Meanwhile, Maria and 5 others were busy rounding up and purging the others. Some were surrendered, but as ordered, were killed ruthlessly.

Yulia: Command. It's me. Target neutralized.

?: Roger. Confirming presence via SLS.

3 minutes later.

?: Confirm. All Pro-Arghansus Cultists are neutralized and no signs of alive ones. Well done. You can head home now.

The team were extracted by the Flotilla group. By the time they reached the Southern Military District in Candus City, Yulia rushly departed.

Maria: Oy! Major. What the fuck is that?

?: Must be urgent. Leave her be.

Maria: Eh. Right. Anyway....

Phantom Police Guards HQ. 04:00 of afternoon.

As expected, Yulia reported to the Command straight at the PPG HQ in Lilyagrad.

?: Well done, Major.

Yulia: Yes. Can I retire now?

?: Uh yes. But why? Can you specify by "being too old" please?

Yulia: I'm more than 200 years old. 234 in fact, and being a Military Intelligence Agent at this age is thousand times harder than younger ages. Like say.... Nogova.

?: Ah I see. Well. To be fair you're the only one who reach this far at your age. Most of others simply prefer transfer to the LPAF, LPN and SMF. Others are switching to other Directorates due to "less pressure" and less risk.

Yulia: Yeah I reckon. Anyway goodbye. This is the last time I'll be here.

And with that, Yulia Timoshenkova. Age 234 Years old, Dragonfolk with white hair and a ahoge, Pink Eyes, sporting a unusual hairclip resembling a frag grenade, 124cm tall and in full, Combat Gear overtop by her Dark Green Field Uniform with diamond-shaped dots of Black, Brown, and Silver, leaves the Phantom Police Guards HQ to head home in Scalius ESR. Where she can finally start a new life she longing for: Being a Chef in her Home Region. She board on train in Podsolnechnikograd. To her surprise, was her fellow PPG-MID Agent, now a regular grunt. It was Masha Pugachova.

Masha: Greetings, Comrade Major. *salutes*

Yulia: Sup, Masha. *small hand wave* How's life in the Ground Force.

Masha: Challenging. But not as hard as I hope.

Yulia: I see. Do you have mission?

Masha: Uh no. But I was told to head at Northern Military District by General Brezhneva's orders. How about you, Comrade Major?

Yulia: I'm heading home to start over.

Masha: Start over?

Yulia: Yes. To start over.

Masha: You sound like... Wait. You gotta be kidding me.

Yulia: Yep. I'm now retired.

Masha: Uh huh. Happy retirement life then.

Yulia: I'll make you visit my planned Restaurant for that.

Both laughed a bit. By the time they reached a certain line, Masha went done. Mostly to head to Western Military District by bus, while Yulia reads up the news with her Digipod. Later, she is now to her hometown.

Timoshenkova residence, 30 minutes later.

Yulia: I'm home.

?: Welcome home.

Yulia: I have good news.

?: Eh? What is it?

Yulia: I'm now officially retired.

?: That's good. Does that mean....

Yulia: Yep. My dream goal. That dream goal almost gone thanks to those Alien Invaders.

?: Calm down. Now. Get some rest okay. I'll have your dinner prepare.

With that, Yulia have her dinner, changed her outfit and did some playtime with her siblings. Soon, she decide to sleep, marking the end of her Military Intelligence life, and to start as a civilian.

To be continued.
