[Prologue:
Meet JC, a retired ISOC operator and now a PMC for Green Water Security.
It's 0300 and JC is doing a routine perimeter sweep during another boring midnight watch when an enemy assault team breaks cover and crosses some open ground of the forest...]
Spotting the enemy below, JaiChai flares his wings, quickly draws out two legendary samurai swords (the Honjo Masamune and the Onimaru Kunitsuna) from their sheaths and points them directly at the enemy.
He then retracts his wings and wraps them tightly around his body, making him look like the bombs dropped from B52 Bombers during WWII.
Reaching terminal velocity (~147 mph) in 2.5 seconds, he keeps his swords pointed at the targets for the rest of his descent.
Thirty seconds later, the enemy threat is effectively neutralized.
[Epilogue:
When asked for an official debrief for the Green Water Security's AAR (After Action Report) JaiChai stated,
"I came in fast and gave them the 'Cuisinart Treatment'; meaning, the shredded remains of the enemy's Eight Man Assault Team is currently decorating some Pine trees in the kill zone like it's early f*ckin' Christmas."
The stoic, prune-faced Green Water Executive Secretary took her eyes away from her tablet, lifted her head, rolled her eyes at JC and then continued typing up the AAR...]
Submitted for your amusement.
May you and yours be well and loving life today.
In Lak'ech, JaiChai
