Back to Now ....
As the hidden marines suddenly came out of their stealth, they began launching an attack on the command bridge operators. In an instant, they were given the signal.
Those in close proximity moved in with bladed weapons, slashing here and there to kill the minotaurs around them. Each strike was precise and lethal. Some were cut clean in two, others decapitated before they could react.
For enemies a bit farther away, the marines shifted their weapons into energy handguns and took them down with a few short shots. Every slash and every energy bullet struck with deadly accuracy. The swords ended lives in a single motion, while the energy rounds pierced straight through the fragile bodies of the minotaur operators.
Unlike the normal minotaurs who wore heavy armor, these operators were lightly protected for they were never meant to directly fight a battle. The energy bullets instantly obliterated their hearts and vital organs, killing them on the spot.
