October 10th, 2016 - 00:13:00, Sandman, Truck, Grinch, Gator and Ramirez sneak up on Sierra Team 1's quarters. With the lights off and just Rorke, Elias, Ajax, Greene and Poe inside, as Arsia is sleeping with Frost tonight, the First Sergeant literally kicks it off on the Staff Sergeant.
The commotion wakes up the others, who were immediately met with punches, kicks, bashes and takedowns from the others. No Sierra could reach the light switch, so they were fighting, or rather, getting beat up blind.
After smashing them up for a few minutes without breaking a sweat or taking a hit, Sandman, Truck, Grinch, Gator and Ramirez make a deal, and a guarantee.
Sandman: None of you, ever, again, gets in between us and Frost!
Truck: Or anyone else for that matter!
Gator: And none of you, touches or even looks at Arsia creepily or romantically!
Sandman: Are we understood?
Rorke: *groans*
Sandman: *kicks* Are we understood?!
Rorke: Argh! Okay! Okay! Understood!
Elias: Loud and clear, boss! Just stop!
Ajax: You have my *groans* personal guarantee!
Greene: Yeah! Mine too! Mine too!
Poe: Mine as well! We'll forget about all of this and that! I swear to God!
Sandman: Better! Now clean yourselves up!
Ramirez: This! Never! Happened!
Grinch: Or none of you, will be seen or heard from ever again!
06:34:27, Metal Team, Hunter Team 2 and Arsia have breakfast in the mess hall, with the rest of Sierra Team 1 eating as far away as possible. There, Overlord and Battle Captain personally see Frost for another solo mission briefing.
Overlord: How are you holding up, Frost?
Frost: Good, sir.
Battle Captain: You know, we were holding our breath when we saw you out of action back there. Glad you're not dead. The Osprey Team are now heading home, thanks to you.
Frost: Great news. Thank you, Colonel.
Battle Captain: Don't mention it.
Overlord: Now, remember the chemical tanks you, Sandman and Grinch found in Paris?
Frost: Yes, General.
Overlord: Good. Because all of our decon teams tasked to France are busy or in RR (Rest and Recreation/Recuperation/Relaxation) right now. I can't send anyone else in to get samples from those things before they disappear. We need you.
Frost: Just me?
Overlord: The only American asset there, yes. But you'll be backed up by Sabre's GIGN team again. Two of them will go with you in collecting samples, while the other two will handle extraction via heavy lift chopper skyhook.
Frost: Skyhook?
Overlord: You'll be wearing an EOD suit with a filtered helmet for the op. The chemical weapon is dissipating but we can never be too sure nor safe.
Frost: I see. I'll do it, sir.
Overlord: We know. You always do. Armory in 30 minutes.
Frost: Yes, sir.
27 minutes later, a new mission in Paris awaits, so Frost finishes up ahead of everyone else to prepare himself.
Sandman: After what happened yesterday, glad you're getting some protection. Those Juggernaut Suits are no joke and quite comfy. Trust me, I know.
Frost: Thanks for the tip, First Sergeant.
Arsia: Duty calls?
Frost: Of course, sweetheart.
Arsia: Then ready up, "Frost". I'll be safe here.
Frost: Mm-hmm. I know.
Arsia gives Frost a light kiss, and Frost gives bro hugs to his team and Hunter Team 2 before leaving the mess hall to prepare. In the Juggernaut Suit with the filtered helmet, Frost walks to the GIGN's Eurocopter AS532 Cougar helicopter while commenting that Sandman was not kidding that the armor is comfortable.
Inside, he meets his French Special Forces friends again and says that it is good to fight alongside them once more. They share the same feeling, and en route, Frost shares the details of his machine gun with them, as it is something they have never seen before.
The weapon is designated as the Daniel Defense L86 LSW SOCOM (fictional), a modified version of the RSAF Enfield L86 LSW. USSOCOM, with the help of Daniel Defense, adopted and modified the firearm to fulfill the need for a proper bullpup machine gun.
To fix the firing, chambering, loading and design issues, Daniel Defense took some tips from a more efficient bullpup machine gun called the Norinco QBB-95 LSW. As well as efficient bullpup rifles like the IWI Tavor TAR-21, IWI Tavor X-95, HS Produkt VHS-2, Steyr AUG and all of its variants, Desert Tech MDR and all of its variants, and RSAF Enfield/HK L85A2.
It featues a black and coyote brown paint job, a railed barrel, a railed dust cover, a smaller but clearer iron sight system (similar to MW2's L86 LSW), no factory issued bipod, no integrated back foregrip, curved buttstock, a bolt release behind the magazine well, a magazine release button on the front part of the magazine well, a modified, simpler safe and full-auto trigger and selector switch, a 100-round metal box magazine made with assistance from Magul Industries, and fine-tuned, high-end loading and firing mechanisms. With all of that, the L86 LSW can finally thrive and do well in combat with little to no technical, environmental and non-environmental problems.

09:40:04, Sabre and Faucon hover above the Catacombs' sewer entrance to let Frost, Tueur and Flament fast rope down and get to work. Warhammer returns to provide close air support for them.
Overlord: Team, the chemical attack is almost over but we still need proof of contamination. Grab some samples of the agent and return to HQ.
Frost: Solid copy, Overlord. JTF Delta Force-GIGN is Oscar Mike.
To everyone's surprise, the Russians throw a red smoke grenade and it starts to rain fire, but the operators were able to steer clear just in time. Frost looks up and he sees what appears to be an Ilyushin II-76 MD strategic airlifter armed with cannons and gatling guns to fulfill Russia's need for an AC-130 like gunship.
Tueur: Red smoke?
Frost: Air support marker! Get back!
explosions*
Flament: Whoa! (French) What the hell was that?!
Frost: *looks up* (English) Shit! (French) Russian gunship up high! Look out and stay away from the red smoke!
Warhammer: Overlord, this is Warhammer. We have a visual of a Russian Strategic Airlifter with weapons similar to ours. Requesting permission to engage, over.
Overlord: Negative, Warhammer. Jester Squadron 2 will take care of it. A Felon squadron is nearby acting as security. Continue your fire mission for the ground team, over.
Warhammer: Understood, Overlord. Resuming mission.
Overlord: Team, enemies are throwing air support markers. Steer clear.
Frost: Roger, noted.
Frost, Tueur and Flament reach the two stashes of chemical cannisters in the intersection, still next to the balloon store carts. And still leaving an awful taste in the operators' mouths, but they have the samples and GPS markers from these groups.
They move on to the courtyard and its entrance/exit staircase. After dodging enemy air support, and killing and obliterating some heavy assault troops with ballistic shields and their backup, they gather the samples and trackers.
Moving on to the bookstore, another Juggernaut comes out of the place's fire exit and engages the JTF. While Tueur and Flament prepare to engage, Frost has a another idea with a 9-Bang Grenade and his knife.
He blinds the specialist, stabs him in the unprotected parts and finishes by lifting his helmet and almost decapitating him. Tueur and Flament were shocked and impressed by the kill.
Flament: H-How did you do that?
Frost: Well, not all parts of the suit are covered by the plates. And they won't matter if you lift them open.
Tueur: Merde. Remind me to never... uh...
Frost: Piss me off?
Tueur: Yes, that's it. Still an impressive kill though.
Flament: True.
Frost: *chuckles* Merci.
The three continue inside and collect the samples and tags from the bookstore cluster. With everything gathered, they head to the rooftop of an apartment nearby for extraction.
Frost: Overlord, Metal 0-4 and the GIGN have collected samples and GPS markers from all sites, over.
Overlord: Roger, 0-4. Great work. Sabre and Faucon are inbound for exfil. Head for high ground, over.
Frost: Roger that. Heading up.
Tueur: The apartments' rooftops. We can take them.
Frost: Good idea, Tueur.
Flament: Careful. There could be hostiles in the rooms.
Frost: Good call, Flament.
After raining down more fire and hunting down more heavy assault teams in the street and apartment rooms, Frost, Tueur and Flament reach the roof, meet Sabre and Faucon, ready up with the skyhook, and exfiltrate. In the air, Warhammer and Jester Squadron 2 shoot down the Russian Strategic Airlifter gunship and its protection, with no casualties thanks to Jester 2-7.
Frost: Sabre, Faucon, we're in position on the roof of an apartment complex near the bookstore. Marking with blue flares now.
Faucon: Roger, Frost. We see it, coming to you. Welcome back, friends. Hook up and we can leave.
Tueur: Ready.
Flament: Ready.
Frost: Ready. Take us home.
Faucon: Lifting off.
Sabre: Roger. Overlord, this is Sabre. Exfiltration is complete. Say again, exfiltration complete. Returning to base. How copy, over?
Overlord: Solid copy, Sabre. Decon teams are standing by in both HQs now. (French) On behalf of U.S. Spec Ops, thank you.
Sabre: Acknowledged, Overlord. Sabre, out.
Jester 2-7: Overlord, this is Jester 2-7. Russian gunship destroyed, protection squadron eliminated, and Warhammer is RTB. Copy that, over?
Overlord: Copy, Jester 2-7. Textbook execution, squadron. Another for the books. Come on home, over.
Jester 2-7: Jester flight is RTB, Overlord. 2-7, over and out.
12:45:19, after some kudos, Godspeeds and decontamination, Frost meets up with the others in the command room for a debrief.
Sandman: We saw the whole thing. Relieved that you and the GIGN made it out in one piece.
Frost: Me too, especially for our French brothers.
Truck: Damn. A cargo plane retrofitted with artillery to do an AC-130's job?
Grinch: It's amazing what war can create.
