THE STORY THUS FAR:    -.---.----..-.---.----..-.---.----..-.---.----..

You awake to the sound of your own scream. Again.


For the fifth time during the night, you convince yourself that you
are alone in your assigned quarters. You have declined the offerings
of the medication that the military physicians have assured you will
help you sleep. You've fought your way through Hell and depended upon
your alert reflexes to survive. You have decided that it is far too
early to allow yourself to succumb to chemicals just so you can rest.
If something is going to happen, you want to be alert to face your own
doom.

Semper Fi.

                            -=       +       =-

It has been several days since the Earth invasion. The civilians
that had taken refuge in space (thanks to you) are awaiting official
clearance to return planetside.

The remaining thread of the governing body have mobilized all available
military soldiers. It appears that those orders were to execute a
clean-up mission. Reports of the existence of thousands of the
Hell-spawned creatures that were left behind reached authorities only
moments after what you thought was the final confrontation. You're not
sure how you ended up in a military make-shift rehabilitation center,
but shortly after the sensation of victory, you remember hearing
reinforcements arriving. Somehow they ascertained that you were not
fit to be returned to active duty at the present time.

The Gates are slowly becoming dismantled, but it is impossible to
determine if the Earth Defenses will ever be able to find, let alone
neutralize, them all.

The Global Communication Net is still off-line, and according
to standard military short-wave radio communication from your superiors,
the UAC have been struggling with a strong plan of action that will
insure a swift and successful operation.

It is not yet known if this final course of action should be taken:

              . . . the detonation of nuclear weapons
              from space to ensure the destruction of
              the gates.

The aftermath of this course of action would render a large portion of
Earth uninhabitable. Given the fact that there remain millions upon
millions of people that evacuated Earth in space, the thought of a long
stay while nuclear fallout rampages the atmosphere is quite unpleasant.
Another plan of action must be attempted first; that plan's official
designation has become:

INSERTION

              . . . the strategic implementation of
              the Marine's elite fighting force to
              neutralize the final emplacements of
              the vile beasts from Hell itself.

                            -=       +       =-

Finally you capitulate to a troublesome sleep.

                            -=       +       =-

Sometime early that morning the largest mobile unit of the INSERTION
operation is annihilated. The Earth just lost a large percentage of
their elite fighting force. The playback of the radio transmissions
were garbled, at best. And from the preliminary indications of the
telemetry from their field computer, the official assessment of the
damage is not necessary to derive the following conclusion: It looks
like more than a few gates were missed.

The general orders are as follows:

              All physically able military personnel
              have been reassigned to the INSERTION
              campaign effective immediately.

                            -=       +       =-

Shortly before the installation in which you are stationed for
rehabilitation receives word, a nurse assigned to your case has finished
entering into your Permanent Military Record that you are to be honorably
discharged immediately pending a full psychological evaluation. It looks
like YOUR fight for "King and Country" is about to come to an end. She also
notes that you are finally resting comfortably and have fallen into a
deep and restful sleep.

The alarm at the installation where you have been stationed has been
activated. Its high-pitched droning is slowly creeping into your
subconscious. The medical staff in the psychiatric ward have been made
aware of Earth's escalated situation. Via strict instructions from the
staffs' Commanding Officer, the order was given to your nurse to
formally remove the information that she had just entered into your
Permanent Military Record. You have formally been reassigned to active
duty. Just then, they turned their attention to a ghastly sound emanating
from the general direction of your quarters. . .

You awake to the sound of your own scream. Again.

                            -=       +       =-

. . Prepare for INSERTION.
