I felt a sense of vertigo as I fell with the wind in my face. I activated my chute as soon as I had been falling for about a minute and followed the rest of the squad to the ground. I landed on my feet but instantly collapsed. I couldn't stop shaking from my adrenalineas I looked to the east and saw one last glimpse of the plane before it crashed in the ocean almost a mile away. I stood up and yelled into the radio, "Regroup on me!"

I removed my back pack and unslung my weapons bag as I waited for everyone to arrive. I had just finished unpacking when everyone showed up in a neat little group before me, also with their gear ready and unpacked. "Alright men, that was a bit of a shock, but we're lucky we all landed in this clearing. I hope you're ready for a fight because we may have infected crawling all over the place as we get near the facility." At this remark, I saw all of the new guys go pale and one sighed heavily. It's his first job, I guess he should be nervous.

I checked my map quickly and located the clearing. Luckily, we were barely a hundred yards or so away from our original insertion route...
