RE: Assignment Notification 117:

Sounds like a party! When do we melt some cubes, I got some new tricks I have been wanting to try out and what better time to practice then when you’re surrounded by a bunch of Icy Sleepwalkers!

All I want to know is, how much ammo do I need?

Subject: Assignment Notification 117

Ghost, Shine,

We have received an assignment, potentially. Our commanding officer has informed me of a dire situation on planet 1701 and has asked me to hand select a fire team.

Mission 117, Project Ignis:

Gentlemen, we are going into hell’s hometown. Mission 117 – Project Ignis – has been approved with the stipulations that a) the team sent is comprised 100% of volunteers, b) the mission is kept top secret and, c) if the mission is failed, there will be no ceremony to honor the fallen.

Mission information is being held on an extreme “need to know” basis. The only thing I have been permitted to share is that the destination is planet 1701, aka Ignis. It is a code black planet, meaning we have already pulled our main forces out, and the planet is considered lost. The Ice have nearly achieved their “Deep Freeze.” We are the last resort. Our mission will be an insurrection of sorts. We will infiltrate Ignis, find the remaining VIP and escort him to the “black zone.” I don’t have to tell you what happens if we fail.

I know this is a suicide mission, but an entire planet’s future is in our hands, if we choose to accept this mission.
