Bullets whizzed pass by above him, there are explosions everywhere, it was chaos. There are battle shouts, shouts of pain, for medics and for man down. He hid in the trenches. Below their feet is red sand, red with blood. They are fighting and dying on a dessert plain. People dropped all around him. A marine beside him loaded his rifle, then fired. He dropped quickly. He peeled off the marine's armor, piece by piece, and examined the wound at the marines shoulder. A rocket exploded nearby, sending debris everywhere, and pieces of once what might have been a man's limbs.
"Man down, man down, we need a medic here ASAP!"
He pulled out his laser scalpel, took out the bullet and patched the man's shoulder and quick ran to his next patients. Another medic was heading for there was well, but his head was cleanly taken off by a round and got shot multiple times. It doesn't appear he will be helping anyone.
He first attended to the moderately injured. He then said to the men,
"I am all out of anesthetics,"
They then pointed to a first aid pack laying beside a corpse, he nodded and went to the pack. As he reached down to grab it, he heard a shout,
"Take cover!"
He ducked down and took cover, when he turned around, all that remained of the men he was attending to is little pieces, and the spot he was standing was the center of the flame.
He then saw drop pods and yelled,
"Drop pods incoming!"
The other marines did the best they could to take them down, but they only succeeded in taken a few, the majority landed and enemies exited. They lost all communications with their ship, and they have to repeatedly move their lines back. He then said to another marine, one that he knew,
"Jake, we will need to get over there," he said pointing at another trench, "they need medical attention,"
One of the marines stood up and was shot dead immediately, it was a grim reality.
Jake then said,
"Go, go, go? C'mon you sons of bitches, you wanta live forever?"
They crawled on their stomachs. Three more marines in the squad were shot dead. After a short while, him and Jake are the only ones alive in the squad. They went behind cover and stood up, he then said,
"It is too dangerous, the enemy fire is too heavy, we can't advance,"
"Nonsense, we can....."
A grenade landed beside them, Jake then yelled,
"Get down!" and jumped on him. He lost consciousness for a brief few seconds, and when he woke up, he said,
"Jake?"
He got no response. There were flood everywhere and the smell of burning flesh. He then got a pulse, he was relieved. Jake then put a hand on his shoulder and said,
"Rob, you can do it, leave me, time is running short,"
"No, I won't...." during mid-sentence, a round blew Jake's brains everywhere......
Shin the woke up, breathing rapidly and sweating. It wasn't his memories, it wasn't his nightmare. He then calmed down and figured he was reliving someone else' memories with his psionc abilities. He couldn't go back to sleep, so he changed back into his uniform and decided to take a walk around the ship. The ship shook violently, but he kept his balance.
