Olden's actions have led to
the deaths of thirty civilians and three agents. Without question,
everyone involved were looking to quickly capture the criminal and
bring him to justice. According to reports G.U.A.R.D had on Olden,
his abilities included extraordinary strength, flight, durability,
telekinesis and the ability to absorb solar energy and use it as a
projectile weapon. For Olden’s solar abilities to be most
effective, it’s important that he remains in proximity to the
sun.
    Agent Hardine was
the first field agent to touch the ground. He gave a quick survey of
the area and then silently motioned for his men to follow. Six well
trained G.U.A.R.D agents followed Special Agent Hardine out of the
stealth jet. The agents positioned themselves around the designated
area Agent Hardine directed them to.
    “Target in
sight,” one of the agents whispered over his earpiece. The
agents aimed their weapons at Olden and prepared to fire on command.
    “Negative, we
got about ten minutes before the sun goes down. Hold position until
the sun drops,” Special Agent Hardine ordered.
    The agents
immediately stood down and followed Agent Hardine's order. Agent
Hardine was the command leader for the Alpha field team. Over the
years his list of accomplishments have included the successful
capture of several top priority Post Human criminals. Of all his
accomplishments, capturing Olden Mars this day would by far be his
greatest achievement to date.
    Olden was lying
around, casually embracing the beautiful setting the Vallejo beach
offered. Agent Hardine watched as the large man seemed oblivious to
their presence. The calm of the water and the shoreline was
beautiful. It was great spot for anyone looking to relax.
    Agent Hardine hoped
Olden’s relaxed nature would assist them in taking him out. As
soon as the sun went down they would have to move quickly. It was of
the utmost importance that the mission went flawless. Agent Hardine
knew they had one chance at this, and he didn't want to blow it.
    “What’s
he doing?” an agent asked.
    “I want radio
silence. I don’t want to take any chances of tipping this guy
off. We only got one shot at this and I want to make it a good one,”
Agent Hardine said.
    The agents waited
patiently for the sun to go down. If Olden Mars was aware of their
presence he certainly wasn’t letting on. The beach was quite
packed as it usually was. This added extra pressure to the agents to
get the job down on the first try.
    “Let’s
get ready to move,” Agent Hardine said.
    The agents were
posing as civilians. Normally they were dressed in all black, but not
today. Today they didn't want anyone to know they were there. Olden
would spot G.U.A.R.D agents in a heartbeat if they approached his
location in uniform. Not to mention the public would inadvertently
alert him if they saw the agents as well.
    Agent Henderson’s
unit found that out the hard way. Their presence caused a mass panic
with the civilians which helped the criminal they were after to evade
capture. Their failure that day was a major learning lesson for the
rest of the agents. Agent Hardine would not allow his unit to make
the same mistake.
    “Go time
gentlemen get in position,” Agent Hardine ordered. The agents
subtly walked about the beach separately positioning themselves for a
coordinated attack. Olden, who was concentrating on the half naked
women passing by, was not aware of the agent’s presence. Agent
Hardine took up position last. He had to make sure his agents were
exactly where he wanted them to be before he proceeded with the
mission. “Remember, goal is to apprehend. We want Olden Mars
alive.” The agents clicked their radios twice confirming they
understood their orders.
    “Now!”
Agent Hardine shouted. The six agents fired their inhibitor laced
darts at Olden Mars. The first two shots connected. One hit the man
in the neck and the other caught him in the leg. Those first two
shots were the only ones the agents were
