Mission: Mission 1: The Return to Faltan
Location: Faltan City
Timeline: MD04 - 2330

Faltan City, at this hour it was so alive, so crowded and people singing through streets as if nothing had happened. The lights from the streets and shops were seen from above. The wind was calm as it passes Sarah face as she stood on the roof of a building staring at the direction of the government building where the shot was done 'Quite distance shot, skilled for sure' Her eyes turned towards the clock tower that stood at her left side. The attack was well calculated, the distance, the location, the weather conditions and the people that were involved.

Her eyes then went down to the streets as she saw Faltan security leave the area "Time for some work" She tapped her ear as the metal masking appeared around her head while Sarah placed her hoodie over it and she started to move towards the tower. Moving from roof to roof as she jumps off it in direction of the tower using some small thrusters to boost her upwards against the wall of the clock tower. Sarah made sure that she had a good grip of it and looked downwards seeing the Faltan security talk with each other 'Good they have not detected me yet'.

It did not take her long until she reaches the clock tower higher balcony and jumped onto it. She looked behind her seeing the beautiful sight of the city as well the perfect angle towards the government building "Mmm" Turning back towards the inside of the clock tower she steps slowly into it and tapped twice the side of the helmet as the room gets scanned 'The room is pretty much been cleaned...' Sarah thought as the scan did indicate footprints and bio traces from people walking around, presumably Faltan Security. Looking towards the balcony, she blinked seeing traces of heat marks on the stone 'Traces of the rifle shot...' She kneels onto her right knee and looked in the direction of the placed heat markings and it was going towards the government building "Clean shot..."

There was not much she could do now, but her suddenly Sarah reflects and instinct kicked in as she moved sideways as a blade passes her in front of her face and into the wood. Looking back towards the direction of where it came from was standing a masked black hooded figure standing with another knife. Sarah stood slowly up and by design of the clothing and such, this person was not going to talk but rather fight. Another two figure appears from the darkness 'Oh my, welcome committee for me...' Sarah exhaled and turned towards them.

Words were indeed not spoken, but actions were as they quickly started to move forward to attack Sarah. The first few hits Sarah could hold back. A fist here, a sidekick there and knife stop at her chest. Stopping a sidekick as she flips the person to the ground and slams into his face to knock him out. However, that gave the opening for the others to kick her into the ribs and knee her into the face. She flips to the ground and exhaled a few times trying to get some breath. Cracking her neck as she stops another upper kick and twists the man's foot around hearing a crack as he drops to the floor, but strangely enough not hearing him screen 'I broke his foot, why is not in agony of pain?'.

Ignoring that fact as she had to defend herself towards the last man and the struggle continues. Sarah rolls towards the balcony and looked back at the man that stood there with a knife. Walking back towards the balcony and let her head hang to the side a bit "We shall see each other another time..." A strange voice came from Sarah helmet as the man walked quickly towards her. but she leans backward and lets herself fall downwards. The man quickly leans forward seeing that Sarah was no were to be found and slams onto the side of the balcony.

30 minutes later, Sarah leans back in the chair of her car as it drives away from Faltan City as she typed away an encryption coded text 'Birdhouse clean, however scars present, three elder ravens were waiting and not pleased with visit' Sarah taps and sends it towards Mint as the message was coded that the clock tower was empty, but gunshot residue was found, however, she had to break off as three experience people were awaiting her. Sarah looked out the window and smirks this planet had some nasty suprises.
