Iota-Nine


 * Ion Squad was created as the result of a Gear named Daniel McCormick being promoted to a Squad Sergeant. He was given six Gears fresh out of basic to work with, and officially put on the lines sixteen years post- E-Day. While fighting on the outskirts of Jacinto, McCormick was hit by a Gnasher. Though one of his Gears exacted revenge on the Locust who killed him, he was mortally wounded and died on the battlefield. The rest of the squad was also slaughtered, except for two Gears that managed to make their way into the underground and back to the city center by sewer tunnels. Private Kulm, one of the Gears, was promoted to replace him.
 * The squad's next op was to evacuate civilians from a Stranded camp, which did not go well. Private Timothy Reid was wounded, and Private Corey Lynch was killed by a Theron's Bow. With the rest of the squad escaping in an APC, Sgt. Kulm and a Stranded man held out against a large number of enemy troops, eventually returning to Jacinto command to have the man, Wayne Ogle, reinstated as a Gear in Ion Squad.
