Saga coninued

The squad leader for special ops unit section 6 laid in her bed, staring at the ceiling. Her roommate was fast asleep across the room in the fetal position, holding on a tattered teddy bear for dear life. Jessica looked around her room, which used to a book store. The main resistance base where our heroes are stationed was actually once a mall. During the attack, the Zenos only took out communications and military posts. People assumed that they would destroy everything, but why would they? They came to this planet to conquer and inhabit it. Why destroy everything and be forced to rebuild? Despite several bombed out buildings and various destroyed structures, all lot of things were kept intact. The resistance base is located in a newly built three story mega mall. It has a full food court, around a hundred stores and a 32 screen movie theater. The Army base is located in a strip mall on the right side of the mall, while the armor and weapons factory is located in an old mega electronics superstore behind the mall. Now the genius part is what the resistance did for combat vehicles. They took regular civilian cars, trucks and suv’s and added armor and mounted weapons on them. Regular four door sedans, trucks and suv’s were used for escorts, combat patrols and other uses. Two door sport cars were used for scout and recon missions. Half of the movie theater and the parking garage next to the mall were converted into the motor pool, which also housed several regular armored vehicles like tanks and armored personal carriers. There was also a section where the limited number of aircraft was kept. There were a handful of attack and transport helicopters as well as a couple of new aircraft developed by the Army engineers. Attached to the garage was a fire base where the artillery pieces were kept. This was reported to be the most solid base the resistance had and if this base fell, all the northern states would fall with it.
