Journal of the 106th #2

>In the waning months of the Color Wars, the 106th faced missions critical to the agenda of General Ironwood.
>When we arrived at the bombed out ruins of Mountain Glenn, our Hunter commander believed we had been sent to take out a Grimm nest the Oppressionist had been doing tests on.
>What Katie Meadow didn't know however, was that our unit of the 106th was really after an experimental Mountain Glenn power source, that the General wanted for his super laser.
>Keeping Meadow in the dark wasn't easy; the Hunters had become increasingly wary of the General's doings, and was on the lookout for the slightest hint of treachery.
>Just like the rest of them though, she never caught whiff of what was really going on, until it was far too late.
>As the drop ships landed, our unit disembarked quickly and joined up with the unit that had arrived with Meadow the day before.
>They had been pushing the Grimm back towards an old research facility since yesterday.
>With Meadow with them, it went from suicidal to tough, and their efforts had rewarded them with a foothold in the building's old courtyard.
>Now with reinforcements, we'd be able to take the building and secure the component Ironwood wanted.
>We wasted no time and launched an attack into the building's first floor.
>Lead by Meadow and bolstered by our unit's fresh troops, we easily made our way through the courtyard and into the building.
>Once inside, the Huntress makes quick work of the Grimm.
>She used a spear that had 'vents' in the tip and at the sides.
>She used her Aura to send bursts of aura through the vents that sent her and the spear spinning at high speeds and tearing through the Grimm.
>Luckily, the first floor was mostly just a lobby, or it'd never have worked.
>How they ever managed to stay alive with all that flair in battle, I'll never figure out.
>"Alright. Intel says the Grimm's nest is near the top. I'll take the 83rd and a squad of the 106th up with me. The rest of the 106th clear the basement."
>"Yes sir." Those two words echoed across the lobby as we split up.
>As Meadow lead most of our forces up, we headed down.
>Of course, that was where we wanted to go.
>Fighting through the few Grimm that were there, we quickly located the department that was researching the power source.
>We opened the door, and were immediately met by a small next's worth of Grimm.
>They lunged at us, and our gun fire was just enough to keep them from killing our entire unit.
>We wasted no time moving the bodies from the door way and retrieving the component.
>We fought our way back up and regrouped with Meadow.
>"Everything go alright down there?"
>"Yes sir. We lost a few boys and stumbled on small nest, but the Grimm are no more."
>"Excellent work, Captain. Now, let's head home. This nest won't be causing problems for us any more."
>We radioed the drop ships once we got back to our base in the courtyard.
>Soon enough, we were on our way back to Atlas.
>The success of the mission to Mountain Glenn was something of a revelation for the men of the 106th.
>Suddenly, we realized that the Hunters could be fooled.
>And if they could be fooled, they could be killed.
