When a mining vessel is stripped from the sky over international waters, an elite team of Mech warriors are sent in for Android destruction.

Chapter 1

Fort Blythe-Intergalactic Conservation Territory

July 26, 3118, 2300 HRS

Lightning shreds through the midnight sky, a typhoon rages over Lae Airstrip at Fort Blythe. A large silver mining vessel, the Main Vein is illuminated by every strike as thunder booms in the distance. Pelting rain whips through the air in sheets as the wind makes a howling fuss. The Main Vein’s thrusters fire to life taking flight, rapidly gaining altitude. The ship rotates around in mid-air leaving Lae bearing southwest. The pilots confer with the central command tower. The ship’s control terminal displays the image of a young, red-haired woman from flight control.

“Signal, Command, we are leaving Lae airspace,” says the ship’s captain.

“Copy that, Main Vein; good luck out there in this tropical storm,” replies the red-haired woman.

“Piece of cake, sweetheart; Main Vein over and out,” says the ship’s captain, winking.

The ship silently streamlines over the rain forest, silently making its way through the night. The ship jolts port side and hazard lights flood the interior. The loud scrape of metal against metal echoes throughout the interior cabin of the ship.

“Our signal is being jammed, Captain!” shouts the co-pilot.

Soldiers scramble to man defense stations inside the Main Vein; helmets go on, and they lock and load their weapons. Commands are fired away over the radio inside each soldier’s helmet. Their boots prepare for the pressure breach. A specular highlight goes around the sole once counterclockwise, initiating the magnetic hold properties. Soldiers attach special security lines from the back of their combat armor to the interior cabin wall with a remote feed release.

A vortex rips through the cabins interior as part of the starboard hull is gutted away from the ship. Critical damage to the ship sends it arching downward in a deadly descent toward the jungle below. A sonic scream echoes throughout the cabin’s interior sending everyone without a helmet on reeling to cover his or her ears. The captain reels in agony, losing flight control of the ship.

Rain from the outside storm rushes in through the open gap in the hull. A team goes across the interior cabin to inspect the hull breach, all three soldiers, grounded by their boots and security lines, struggle to the source of the vacuum. The squad leader fires a flare through the gap into the abyss; its blinding brilliance fades to darkness.  A robotic tailpiece shoots through the gap wrapping itself around the squad leader and shattering the soldier’s security line into the wall. The other two soldiers fire into the darkness. The squad leader’s boots scrape the ground as the soldier is yanked toward the darkness. The soldier on the right grabs the shattered security line slipping by and yanks back hard. A second security line jettisons out the squad leader’s shoulder pack into the ceiling. A bolt fires from the squad leader’s caster gun, decimating the tailpiece and sending it writhing to the cabin floor; its exposed circuitry sparks and dithers as it’s sucked out of the hole into the storm. The other two soldiers send cover fire through the gap, bolt after bolt. Silence.

An explosion of fire courses through the gap, incinerating the cabin and nullifying the soldiers. The inferno streaks across the sky. 

 “God help us all,” cries the captain.

Love this, I want more. I like how you use sentences that aren't too lengthy but still get your description across. Thats what makes a good read.
