Armament Reloaded I
Volume 8: Bringing People Together
A week later, Marek’s squad were stationed in the Slig Barracks of Magog Mineralz. Reint was busy repairing his sniper rifle when he got a call from Voll, the slig commander. Reint placed the sniper rifle back into his locker and left the room, heading for Voll’s office.
Reint stepped into the door of Voll’s office, closing it behind him. “What can we do for you sir?”, Reint asked. Voll passed a piece of paper to Reint. “The training for the slig recruits isn't working quite as well as we hoped. We’ve got an agreement to have at least fifty spare recruits by next week, but as it is, we're barely filling our own quota of Sligs.”
Reint raised an eyebrow. “What do you propose, sir?” Voll withdrew some more pieces of paper from a folder on the table. “To put it bluntly, we need a new influx of talented and skilled sligs. At least fifty of them to fill the upcoming quota, then a few more for our own training programs.” Voll placed a piece of paper in front of Reint.
Voll pointed to the diagram, “Our vykkers have been busy, they’ve found the perfect solution to our problem. The G.R.A.B. or ‘grab’ for short.” Reint looked at the paper. “Grab? You say?” Voll nodded, “Ground-Recovery Airbound Balloon, it automatically picks up the slig in a balloon and transports them to our aircraft carriers.” Reint gasped, “Whoa.”
