Summary/disclaimer: time for another chapter of Sins of the Father. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Metal Gear, Konami, Hideo Kojima and a few others do.

So, to sum up their situation in Owl's mind?

Void Wing was possibly compromised, one member was executed. The enemy knew they were here and busy looking through their personal possible.

"Snake is heading to the office of Dr. Hal Emmerich's office… your never guess who he fought on the way there according to the boss." Owl heard from Dust as they looked over Gecko.

The 28-year-old security expert from Australia was dead. Owl heard from Dragon the best option was to bury him in the snow and resume the mission.

Owl ordered him taken out of sight. They were taking him home for a proper burial when this ended. Owl might have been a bleeding heart, but he wasn't refusing a fellow soldier an honorable burial.

"What does Dr. Emmerich have to do with things?" Owl asked, he, Dragon, Racing Rabbit, the team infiltration expert.

There was also Able Albatross, the team heavy weapon expert, Jesting Jackal, the team sniper, and Brutal Bear, their CQC expert.

Dingo wasn't around, Dragon reported that he got random bursts of static from his radio… then nothing.

"Venom said he's involved heavily with the Metal Gear here, Ray." Dragon stated, Owl shared a look with him.

While some members of Void Owl were older than him? the strike team deployed to Shadow Moses were all children of Mother Base's personal. ALL knew about Dr. Emmerich's father, EVERYTHING HE DID.

Owl looked over the rest of the group, they weren't here for the Rex Metal Gear bipedal platform. The fate of what the Metal Gear was used for wasn't their concern.

But considering one of their first combat missions had been knocked sideways in the most over the top way? It didn't seem that bad to stop a walking nuclear war from being unleashed on the war.

"Dragon, continue to monitor communications and assist the intel team… Rabbit, ,Bear? With me, we're secure the doctor if Snake hasn't already. We need any intel we can get on the Metal Gears anyway." Owl unclipped his FAMAS from his back and started to walk away.

"Isn't like this op hasn't already been fubared." Bear muttered as he followed their PF commander.

Yes, it had been, 2 of their teammates were KIA, their cover was blown within a few hours, and they were running behind cover. Owl would call the mission fubar simply because of all of these problems.

"We secure Dr. Emmerich, clean up any hostiles in the area, and gather any research notes we need." Owl turned his head back and forth again.

He had the distinct feeling that someone was hunting them like animals across the tundra. They could have easily been slaughtered… but someone wanted them as prey.

"Hmm…" the figure stalked off, her wolfdogs following behind her.

(With Owl)

"You hear Snake took out a M1 Abrams with just grenades 30 minutes ago?" Owl raised an eyebrow at this, but said nothing.

They were given explicit orders to stay out of Snake's way, not to go anywhere near the highly trained super spy.

It was becoming clear to Owl Snake was everything Venom used to be… and he was even better than their commander.

Owl was surprised that Venom had taken a vocal parasite given to him by Code Talker, it would rejuvenate his body back to a similar state as during around the Skull Face war.

But it would also be permeant, the man took it without a second thought, easily sacrificing his future.

"There was a tank here?" this was supposed to be a nuclear disposal plant, why was there so much security sent here? he couldn't fathom it at all.

Screw it, they had a mission to complete, things like that could be questioned later, when it was important to bring them up. he would play their game according to the rules being set down.

"Yeah, intel team wasn't aware how much ordinance was here… I don't think they could tell us about the mass influx of reinforcements here to be fair." Bear looked at Dragon who nodded and looked to the side.

It was clear nothing was the same as what they were expecting, nothing at all was what they expected to be fair.

Soldiers dying left and right, intel being spotty and constantly changing? They were outmatched, but bringing in a larger force would have given the element of surprise away. They were supposed to have been trained to deal with this… and yet they weren't, things were just going fubar all over the place. It bothered Owl to no end.

Still, they would gain something from this after all. 2 new members, the best of the team beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Still, things weren't going to get a lot worse for Void Wing before they possibly got better. A lot worse.

Author notes
