The docking bay feels like a small metropolis, with many bodies busying themselves like an ant colony. You try not to bump into the carts and machinery as you push your way to docking bay 3B.

"Radio check Caroline." Felix calls you on the headpiece.

"This is Caroline, loud and clear."

one after another, each member reports in to Felix.

You move about trying to get comfortable as you strap yourself into a seat in the dropship. Why couldn't they make these seats more comfortable? You thought to yourself. But you know the answer, it's because the designer will never have to sit in one.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the Q25 dropship, please fasten your seatbelts. We will not be serving refreshments for this trip. Thank you for fly with AROC, not that you had a choice." The voice comes out from the speakers.

You feel like you're in a bad commercial flight, and wonder if the pilot should have been a comedian instead.

You see Robby takes out a flask and takes a good chug. He obviously provided his own refreshments.

"what is that?" you ask.

"it's my special mixture recipe, a must before the mission, you want to try it?"

A Take the flask and sip a bit of it
B Take the flask and take a good swig at it
C Refuse the offer

"Careful now, you don't want to over douse on that, it got an adrenaline boost that will over load your heart."

You give the flask back, suddenly feel an increase in heart rate, you feel like you can react quicker, but a bit dazed at the same time. (Agility increased, Perception greatly decreased)


The dropship arrives 200 miles east of Dudinka when the comedian comes on the speakers again:

"Attention passengers, we have arrived at our destination. The local time? Doesn't matter, since you'll all be dead soon anyway."

You hear a few chuckles here and there, if the pilot's aim was to ease the mood of the team, then she really have succeeded.

The desolate dark snow field is the only thing that welcomed your disembarkment.

you suddenly sense the freezing cold of northern Russia, the temperature regulator augmentation automatically turns on from your wrist and you feel better instantly.

"The NUCP base is located 3 miles south of you." Felix's excited voice comes through your headpiece. You hope he doesn't thinks this is a video game played from the comfort of his operator desk.

You begin the climb in to the snow forest fields toward your objective with your team.

With snow up to your knees and rocky uneven ground, it took longer than you thought to reach the forest edge.

Looking through your night vision binoculars, you see a large compound beneath the hills. Only one main road leads in and out of the compound, the tall trees surrounding the place makes it very well hidden in the vast frozen wasteland.

To the south of the compound, you see an apartment building, that must be where all the security marines and scientists live.

To the east, you see a control tower, hangars and a couple NUCP helicopters parked outside. The blinking lights from the satellites and antennas on top of the control tower brightens up the dim lit sky like a small patch of fireworks.

"That's where I'll be headed" Robby says while checking the bombs in his backpack.

To the west, you see a large metallic building. Structurally, this building has 4 floors, it's as wide as it is tall. It has a menacing nature to it with red and brown steel plating as it's skin, like a big armored robot guarding the area. There are automatic turrets mounted on all sides of the building, the turrets doesn't seem to be activated though.

That must be the research center where the data files are kept for the prototype gunship.

"Alright guys, let's do this. I'll scout ahead and clear a path, get in position and wait for my signal." Catherine said as she checks her leg augmentations one last time.

Todd begins to setup his sniper position on the hill.

Robby heads down to the east.

As you move towards the research center, a snow storm begins.

As you approach the research center, you notice 2 marines patrolling the parameter, they are heading towards you, there are containers here which you can take cover to avoid a fight or take the risk of exposing yourself and attack them head on.

what will you do ?

A Hide behind some containers nearby and wait for them to pass
B Ready my Hawklar SMG and shoot them as they approach
C STEALTH: Attempt to silently dispatch the enemies (Cannot be done)

ill try C

B

I see no need to hide if we have the advantage of surprise.

You fire your trusty Hawklar SMG and manage to kill one of the marines, the other marine ducks to cover and radios in for backup, within 10 seconds, sirens and alarms have gone off and the automatic turret turns to point at you:

A Run towards the research center
B Call for back up
C Fire at the other marine behind my cover

(shouldn't have drinked that mysterious scotch)

Edited 4/23/2016 10:36:27

(How the hell could we only kill one of them??...)

C

You destroyed my plan.

You try to fire your Hawklar SMG again, but the turret fires at you first with a large explosive round, you have been blown to bits.

For a few seconds, a black smoke rises in the place where you were. Then like your life, the smoke melted into the wind, and was gone.

GAME OVER

(chuck made caroline drink that alcohol that decreased perception greatly)

I have never trusted that thing anyway.

B

Now, we should get the job done.

You manage to shoot both of them although the second one near the containers nearly escaped his demise Todd shot him right between the eyes from the trees far.

A Radio Todd and thank him for saving me
B Hide the two dead marine bodies
C Continue my way towards the research center

You drag one body at a time out of sight, stacking them behind the container. The snow storm should cover them soon enough.



What do you want to do next?

A Radio Todd and thank him for saving me
B Continue my way towards the research center
