PPC: Captain Miko Istivak
"Fall back! I said fall the fuck back!" Captain Miko roared over the persistent scream of war: gunfire and explosion.
The line of Custody forces took steady steps backwards, sheltered from the incoming fire by the remnants of burned tanks his men had formed as a temporary barricade against the oncoming flood of frenzied... He was not sure what to call them. They were not trained soldiers but they had the weapons and co-ordination that marked them above a simple riotous mob. Whatever they were, they had his men outnumbered and out-gunned. Explosions and shrapnel came from every direction. No-one could even begin to estimate the numbers or capabilities. All they had left was a few portable datapads - hardly enough to co-ordinate a defence.
"Captain!" Corporal Tyche called out as the little man scuttled towards him with a datapad lit up like a beacon to draw fire.
"I told you to keep your damn-"
"Captain! I've decrypted Commander Vellas's orders!"
Miko spat a glob of blood and dust onto the ground. "I don't give a fuck, that bastard isn't even here."
"Sir, I really think you should read this. I don't understand some of what he means, but I believe he had a plan to get us out, Sir."
Miko took the datapad with muddy hands and crouched low behind a concrete pillar. He scanned the words with a mounting frustration. What the hell would this matter....
As he reached the end, things fell into place and Miko laughed, coughing up more dust.
"Alright Corporal, prepare yourself." Miko laughed again as the slight man paled. "Just remember you made me."
Miko stood and took a deep breath. "Listen up! Leave the base, it's already lost. Fall back into the airport."
Corporal Tyche's eyes widened. "What? But how-"
"Shut up, Tyche. Fall back!"
Although the order was retreat, Miko grinned like a madman. They had already killed two dozen of his soldiers, he couldn't wait to pay the fuckers back in full.

"Captain, the enemy has infiltrated the airport, we are encountering pockets of attackers from all directions."
The woman's face was slick with sweat but the White Knight looked ready to run a marathon.
Miko nodded. Another precaution the bastard had warned them of. Perhaps there was something to it after all. "Understood. How many Knights are still active?"
"Thirty two, Captain."
Miko's frown was fierce. Eighteen dead already. "I want your squads to search the perimeter. Civilian survivors are your priority. Send them to Terminal 6, span as far as you can but do not engage the main body."
The Knight nodded and turned on her heels, the rest following without a word. It was eerie watching them sometimes, it was as if they shared a hive mind, such was their discipline.
"How far to go?" he turned to Tyche.
"We should be approaching the site soon."
Miko led the forward squad down the corridor towards Terminal 6. As it said, the path narrowed significantly as they departed from the open central visitors area.
The corridor gave way to Terminal 6. It was nothing exceptional, but the best that could be had in the situation. Unlike the other terminals, 6 was not a terminal for public use. It was mainly used for cargo and private transfers. Solid concrete walls covered his back instead of the glass windows one would find families waving goodbye from.
"Get those barricades up now! Load the remainder of the APC's!"
It was as good a place as any to stand. Better than most considering. He only hoped the Evac. team arrived soon.

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
