May 2nd, 1984,
I approached Code Talker today. I couldn't tell what he was doing. He was just sitting on the Command Platform, motionless. Suddenly, he looked up at me and asked me if I need anything. I asked Code Talker to keep an eye on Kaz. He asked why and I told him that Kaz may not have Diamond Dogs' best interests in mind. I couldn't tell him that Kaz may be trying to sabotage Big Boss. Code Talker agreed and then Kaz radioed me. He informed me that a member of the Intel Team was captured at OKB Zero 4 hours ago. I boarded a helicopter and headed straight to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan 18:43,
Pequod dropped me off and I made my way to OKB Zero. As I approached the first gate, I dived into a nearby bush and analyzed the enemy's strength. The Soviet's defenses were good, but not as good as when XOF occupied the facility. I made my way to a ladder on an unsupervised part of the first gate and climbed to the top. I turned to my right, and spotted a Soviet soldier patrolling the top of the first gate. I grabbed the guard and interrogated him for the location of the Intel Unit member. He gave me the location and thanked him by knocking him out.
I dropped down to ground level and crawled my way to the second gate. I had a few close calls concerning the searchlights, but I made it undetected. The second gate was tightly guarded, so I looked around for other options to get through. I looked to my left and spotted a crack in the wall. I climbed the crack to the top of the gate and jumped onto a nearby roof.
I spotted a soldier guarding the entrance to one of the supply rooms which is also the location of the Intel Unit member. I jumped off the roof and landed on top of the soldier, knocking him out. I entered the room and found the Intel Unit member tied up and gagged. As I approached him, he began to panic. I took the tape off his mouth and he yelled, "Boss, behind you!" I immediately turned around to find a Soviet soldier behind about to fire his assault rifle. As I reached for mine, he is suddenly shot in the face. Judging from the trajectory from the shot, it was obvious that he was shot with a sniper rifle. I ran outside a looked around, but saw no one in any good sniping point. Quiet instantly came to mind, but I immediately dismissed that thought. It's not possible for her to still be alive, but who else would've helped unannounced?
Soon the entire base went on alert and I ran back to the Intel Unit member. I cut his ropes and lifted him over my head. With the whole base on alert, it was definitely going to be harder to get out of here than it was to get in. I decided the best way to get out was to get to the helipad and call Pequod.
I snuck through the nearby buildings and observed the guards standing in front of the third gate. I threw a grenade towards the middle of the road and the explosion drew people towards location of the explosion. I then threw an active decoy near the soldiers to draw their attention to it. While the soldiers shoot at the decoy I sneak my way to the third gate and made my way to the stairway to the helipad. As I reached the entrance, a searchlight shines on me and the whole base enters combat alert.
I hid behind one of the entrance doors as the soldiers shoot towards my direction and sent a chopper request to pick me up at OKB Zero. I ran up the stairway as the Soviets shoot at me. Once at top, I see Pequod arrive at the helipad. I ran full speed to Pequod and lifted the Intel Unit member into the helicopter. As more Soviets charge towards us, I board the helicopter and Pequod takes off. The whole base tries to shoot us down, so I grabbed the Gatling gun and begin shooting all the anti-air emplacements. With all the anti-placements gone, we escape OKB Zero and head back to Motherbase. On the way back to Motherbase, I couldn't help but think about Quiet. I seen what happened to those who've been by the vocal cord parasites. I also know that it doesn't take long for them to kill their hosts. But still, is it possible that she's still alive?
