[9:45 AM] -Northern Ireland-
(Soldier) Welcome to Ireland. My name’s Weston, and I’ll be your contact on the outside. I’ll also be debriefing you on our way to the drop-off point. Now that your vehicle has been taken care of, shall we be going?
(DJ) I’m DJ, and this is my partner Jake. We’re both ready to go whenever you are, Weston.
(Jake) *nods in agreement*
(Weston) Excellent. Step into that Humvee over there, and we’ll be on our way. So, how long have you been in the Martial Academy?
(DJ) *walks toward humvee* I’ve been in the Academy for nearly six years now. My parents were both killed in a terrorist attack, and I was sent to the Academy instead of a foster care service.
(Jake) *follows DJ and Weston* I’ve been in for five years. I got taken away from my parents because they got into some sort of legal trouble, I guess. Then they sent me to the Academy for ‘disciplinary action’. But I decided to stay there just to prove myself to everyone.
(Weston) *climbs into vehicle and starts driving toward drop point* I’m very sorry to hear that, both of you. But I’m glad to see that you’ve both made the best of your situations. Well then, I guess I ought to be letting you two know what’s up here. I’m sure you both know by now that you’re working for the ATAWE, or ‘Anti-Terrorist Alliance of Western Europe’. This is the Irish subdivision here. We’ve tracked down a key terrorist cell to a ten mile radius, but they put up an anti-radar shield so we can’t find the exact location. And we can’t infiltrate the forest without them seeing us on the way in. Last time we tried, we lost four men in an ambush. That’s why you’re here. Trained operatives, especially ones as young as you, should have an easier time of locating the bunker without being detected. Once you get there, you’ll need to activate your homing beacon given to you earlier. That way we’ll know where to send backup in. If you can, watch out for guards while the troop is making its way toward you. And whatever you do, don’t go in the bunker without backup! It is believed that they’ve been hiding highly regarded assassins there the last few weeks, and they wouldn’t hesitate to hurt you if they got the chance.
(Jake) Yeah, yeah…point taken. We’re not trained for nothing, you know.
(DJ) Don’t worry about him, Weston. I’ll make sure we’re safe.
(Weston) You’d better…you know how much trouble I’d get in if you two got seriously hurt or killed on mission?
(Jake) Hmmph…you’re more worried about legal issues than our lives?
(Weston) N..not at all! Your lives are very important, as with all of our soldiers. But if you two were to get careless, your actions could result in our entire subdivision being shut down.
(DJ) I promise we’ll be careful, all right? Like Jake said, we’re prepared for this sort of thing. You can trust us to do this properly.
(Weston) Ok, I’ll take your word for it. Now, here’s a GPS receiver with a map of the general area. I’ve marked your search area as inside this red ring. *hands GPSr to DJ* There’s one for you too, Jake.
(Jake) Cool. I’ve always liked that sort of thing anyway. *takes GPSr*
(Weston) Alright, looks like we’re at the drop off point. *points out window* Look, there’s the forest just up there. *pulls vehicle over*
(Jake) Wow, this is impressive! You certainly have a beautiful place here. Too bad you can’t keep the terrorists out.
(DJ) *rolls eyes* Typical Jake…make jokes during a serious mission.
(Weston) Now, we’ll be waiting for your signal. If we don’t hear anything within five hours, we’ll send in a search team after you, understand?
(DJ) Got it. Thanks for everything, Weston.
(Weston) No, thank you for your willingness to work with us. Good luck! *starts driving away* Heh…that was almost too easy! I can’t believe they fell for our trap this easily…they should be quick work once they find then bunker. *makes a call on cell phone* Hello? Yeah, it’s me. The boys are headed toward you now. Yeah, your plan is working perfectly, Yashev. Pretending to be ATAWE was genius! Ok, I’ll inform Nicholas of the latest developments. Later. *hangs up*
(DJ) Well Jake, this is it. Make sure you’ve got all your camo gear on.
(Jake) Yeah, I’m all set. Let’s do this!
*DJ and Jake quietly walk into the forest*
