# Zero Hour: the Scarlet Freighter Author: Albus Kane Tags: Action, Series, Story Series, Wolf #1 of Zero Hour A story from the perspective of a spec ops agent that is a wolf. DEBRIEFING, [REDACTED], AKA WOLFY, JUNE 25, 2025 The mission began at 2100 hours.  I was deployed on a decrepit freighter out in the Baltics somewhere.  The name of the freighter was _Scarlet Rain_, and yes, that is a euphemism for blood.  The crew were all part of a hate group known as the Guardians of the Natural Order, or GNO.  The GNO wants all civil rights taken away from prey animals, and homosexual activity criminalized.  I was made aware of this just before being shipped off for the mission.  I was dropped off at the back of the deck.  My loadout consisted of one pump-action 12-gauge shotgun, 1 sniper rifle,1 silenced pistol, 1 knife, and 5 grenades, two of which were flashbang.  I walked up to the stairs, and encountered two guards.  One I took out with a double-tap from the pistol in the head, and the other with the knife.  I made my way to a small cafeteria area.  There were 12 there.  I took out five with a grenade, four with the pistol, and three of them got out.  I had to chase them down before they got to sound the alarm.  One of them I tackled, and I broke his neck.  The other I shot in the back, and then in the head to finish him off.  The last one was about to sound the alarm, but I had the good sense to cut the power first.  I took him out with the shotgun after that.  I made my way back outside, and a few dozen of them were on the deck.  I climbed a comms tower, and used that as a vantage point.  I took them out one by one, as they struggled to find me and shoot me.  Just when most of them were dead, one of them got me in the shoulder, and I deployed an emergency parachute to land safely.  I took that one out right after landing.  The rest I got with my shotgun.  Then I went after the main objective.  The captain, Horace Perkins, was one of their higher-ups.  They were trying to get him to Greece, a country a lot friendlier towards those types.  He was heading for an escape chopper when I threw a grenade to take the chopper down.  The chopper crashed, but the crash severely injured me.  That's when I called in an extraction team.
