"We called her Ghost because 'smiting fist of an angry god' was too long to say over the radio, hehe." "Seriously though, I still remember the first time I 'heard' her. It was my cherry mission, and we were holed up in this kind overhang-type-thing. I don't know, what d'you call 'em? Anyway, here we are, a whole squad just cooler our jets, and I start getting impatient. Stupid private itching for a fight, right? But the squad leader is just sitting there, watching, says we're not ready to move yet. Well I'm about to go apeshit sitting there and I hear these three clicks over the commo, and Sarge smiles and waves us up to ready-front, and we go in and waste them. All of them." "Later on I asked my buddy Louie, sorry, Corporal Lewis what the deal was. He says 'Those three clicks? Means Ghost is in position. Sarge won't go till he hears that'." "I swear...silent as Death, and with just as good a body count. After she...after umm...well...you know. Afterwards, whenever we were about to start an op, someone would key their mike three times. Always someone different, and no one ever fessed up to it. Would've broken the spell, you know? It's like she was still there, covering our asses, smiting the unworthy. Sometimes, you just gotta believe, in something...anything." -LCpl Roger Hess, 22nd ID, A Co. ------------------- Good reaction to the last pic of her, so I thought she deserved a second go-round in that armor. Didn't like the Starcraft undertones with that one though, so I changed a few things here, I'm sure anyone can pick out what universe I chose ;)
