. Back at Devcom, the big day came for Androvski and Darious Patel. They were finishing the last touches on the Magnanotron, and getting things ready for testing at the Maryland, Aberdeen proving grounds. They had a specially designed, 600-volt generator set up, connected to their device, and had hooked up several connectors to a sensor-filled test dummy, which was sitting in front of a large concrete-and-steel wall. The dummy looked like a man dressed in Army formals, holding a rifle. There was also a series of cameras set up, to film the entire demonstration. Out in the distance was big brass, including Special Forces Commander Ryan and Chief of Staff General Stanis.

Androvski was excited as he did a final check on everything, then looked at his trusted friend Darious Patel.

Jason gathered his men and pulled out his uplink. He checked the GPS and compass settings and looked around. They had touched down on a high Plateau; he could make out the outline of a steep canyon ahead. “Looks like we head southwest, our target should be only a mile away.” He turned to Morales, “Let Capcom know we are down, and keep the com ready.” Jason pointed, “Tex, you’re on point, we follow single file. It is now 0430 hrs. Mountain Time, we got a few hours of darkness to get it done.” He looked at Derek, “you and me partner, remember, we need to take two of them alive if we can.”

Morales called it in and Capcom came back on the com., “Delta is go for target area, repeat Delta is go.”
