"Ahahhahaha~ You serious?! William hugged an axis troop, what a dumb idiot." Sherrinford was laughing her ass off as William was hiding his face at the corner of the meeting room.
"Settle down troops… We need to discuss our operation." The operation master said to the team, specifically staring at Sherrinford who was still laughing.
"Could you shut up?! You are the priority of the mission here. Do you want to end up into bits or something?" The operation master shouted at Sherrinford.
"Alright, alright. My apologies." She sniffled and rubbed her eyes with her gloves.
"Alright, Echelon 0, today you will be partnering up with Crew 1 of the Aviation Crew wing. The captain of Crew 1 already faced her orders to her partner's, so all you guys have to do is just follow their instructions before you land off, who knows where. " She explains.
"Geist (Captain Shanina), you will guide Guardian and Rampage through this area's tunnel." She used a long stick to point at a certain holographic map.
Captain Shanina nods her head in agreement. "Yes, Ma'am~."
"You randos from echelon 2 will help guide Griffon here to the designated area. She will have her guardian do the hacking procedures of this building's mainframe." The O.M. explained.
"Where are we going anyway and who is this Griffon?." The echelon 2 members asked.
"We are going to head to Whitchurch, an area near Basingstoke. It seems to have been invaded by the axis and they built a high-security facility to house weapons, trades among other axis members also happen there. Griffon is the codename of Miss Sherrinford here." The O.M explained more.
"Yes Ma'am…understood." The echelon 2 members nodded.

After some time of explanation, the team of echelons met up at a hangar to catch up with the aviation crew they were working together with.
A maiden with dyed salt and pepper hair immediately ran to William, passing by Captain Shanina and the other rest of the Echelon.
"Nice to meet you, you must be William. My name is Luxembourga but you can just call me Lux if you like to." She was smiling very excitedly as if wanting to see William badly.
"Uhh ha, Hello, Nice to meet you, Miss Lux. You must be the Aviation Crew's Captain, right?" William asked somewhat confused.
Captain Shanina lined up the crew to prepare their equipment. Captain Shanina excused herself between Miss Lux's and William's chatter.
"Excuse me, but, we have to do a mission? Your chit chat can be continued later." Captain Shanina was trying to be a little strict, but, she was out-threatened by Miss Lux's Innocent looking evil smile.
"Oh, I am sorry Captain Shanina. I will start heading to my Heli. See yah in abit." Miss Lux waved to William as she entered her Helicopter.
William waved back and shook her head guiltily towards Shanina, he then went to his locker to take his equipment. He puts on the special casings used to store Sae-Yong's crystal and her sister's, most recognisably a box case and a bracelet.
(I wonder though, why hasn't Shin-ae introduced herself. Is she busy with training or is she just giving permission to use her weapons?) William thought in his head as he holstered his NZ76 into his holster.
Catching up with his echelon, he entered the helicopter he was assigned into, it was rather clunky as it was filled with bags of equipment and the armour being worn by William, Captain Shanina and Chau-Min.
"Alright, rules first. Buckle up please?" The pilot said as she turned towards them. Her helmet had a dark visor on so you couldn't recognise her face.
After watching them put on their belts, she turned back her seat. "Any other questions…?!" She asked as she switched on the rotor blades.
William then decided to ask, The rotor blades were quite loud and deafening. "YEAH, WHAT IS OUR MISSION?"
"YOUR MISSION? EASY, YOU GUYS DISRUPT THE "PEACE" OF THE AXIS, SINCE, YOU THREE ARE SO GOOD AT KILLING WHILE THE OTHERS WILL DO THEIR SUPPORT BY HACKING AND STEALING THE MAINFRAME." The co-pilot answered back, the pilot was raising the helicopter to the air.
"Alright thank you...also by the way, can you guys fly this thing!? You guys look rather young." William asked.
"Young? Hah~ yes, that's true but… with the Guardians special elements and our own guardians helping the helicopter, it is more of a simple piece of cake for us. We still do simulation training now and then." The co-pilot answered.
They stopped shouting as the helicopter already lifted and the doors were shut close.
Captain Shanina nudged William. "Stop asking them questions, they are busy." She said in her strict Monotonic Voice.
"Uhh...ha" he nods with a soft face.
"Hey, no worries. We always get questions like this. I know it's strange, we teenagers slash "young adults" operating heavy and dangerous machinery. Obviously, with a small mistake, injuries and a probability of death could occur."
"I see…" Chau-Min answered as she felt bored being quiet the whole time.
"We are going to reach there in no time, you guys take a rest for now. You will need the energy for the run and gun and the bullet-dodging." The co-pilot said as she took over the pilot's control who was having a break.
