After accepting Cameo's invitation, Pvt. Sokolov explores the base more to learn about its complexity. He also took advantage of his free time to explore the outside world
Pvt. Sokolov: Hey, is it okay if I leave the base and explore outside?
He asked to an EGO soldier
EGO Soldier: Yeah, sure, but you have to be careful, because you might have run in with ALTER
Pvt. Sokolov: Got it. I'll be back as soon as I can
He said, before being granted to leave the base to explore the new world
[Sweaty Sands 1030 Hours]
Pvt. Sokolov: Wow! This place is huge
He said while walking through the beachwalk. On his left is the beach, on his right is multiple shops. While exploring the place, he sees two guys arguing each other and Pvt. Sokolov thought of breaking the argument
Pvt. Sokolov: What the hell are they fighting about?
Cut to the two guys
Guy #1: C'mon, just for once, please?
Guy #2: Nope, get your own
Pvt. Sokolov: Umm, hello
Guy #2: Who are you? And this is none of your business
Pvt. Sokolov: Igor
Guy #1: Well, hi Igor, I'm Steve and this is John Wick
John Wick: Hey
Pvt. Sokolov: So what are you guys fighting about?
Steve: John here refuses to buy me a sundae, even though he has plenty of money
John Wick: Hey! I'm trying to be conservative here
Steve: It's not called being conservative, it's called being a cheatskate
John Wick: No it's not, and it's cheapskate, not cheatskate
Pvt. Sokolov: Are you serious? Is this what you two are fighting about?
Steve: Hey, he gave me a promise
John Wick: Since when?
Pvt. Sokolov: You know what? I'll leave this one to you, it's nice meeting you two
Steve: Hey, take care now, it's a dangerous world out there
Pvt. Sokolov: I'll keep that in mind, bye now
Pvt. Sokolov leaves
John Wick: Jerk
Steve: Hey! He was being nice to us
John Wick: I was talking to you, not him
Steve: Oh yeah, sorry
Pvt. Sokolov: Well, we're off to a great start, that's for sure. Also, I feel like breakfast wasn't good enough, let's see if I can find a place where I can eat
Pvt. Sokolov looks around and sees a fast food restaurant ridiculously named Durr Burger
Pvt. Sokolov: Durr Burger? Well I haven't had a burger for 6 months, and Cameo was able to lend me some of her life savings. This should do
Pvt. Sokolov has high hopes on this one as he enters the restaurant, which is filled with a decent amount of customers
Beef Boss: Welcome to Durr Burger! May I take your order?
Pvt. Sokolov: Ahh yes, may I take the double cheeseburger with fries and soda?
Beef Boss: One double cheeseburger with fries and soda comin' right up!
Onesie: You got it Beef Boss!
Beef Boss: Say, you look... familiar? Are you new here
Pvt. Sokolov: Yes, I moved in, I came from a different place, although that may be a long story
Beef Boss: Hmm, well you're welcome here in the neighborhood, that's for sure
Pvt. Sokolov: Yep, I guess so
Onesie: One double cheeseburger with fries and soda
Beef Boss: That'll be $3.99
Pvt. Sokolov: Here, $4.00, keep the change
Pvt. Sokolov goes to find a table so he can sit in and enjoy his food
Onesie: I have to admit Beef Boss, he's pretty
Beef Boss: C'mon Onesie, I'm your husband, and you didn't even see his face
15 Minutes Later
Pvt. Sokolov: That's a nice meal, except for the fries, it's a bit greasy
As Pvt. Sokolov walks by the sidewalk, he gets confronted by three guys, one of them has a baseball bat
Guy #1: Whatcha doing there, buddy?
Pvt. Sokolov: Walking, why?
Guy #2: Is that it?
Guy #3: Yeah, that it?
Pvt. Sokolov: I see your friend there has a baseball bat, now from where I live, three guys and a baseball bat is no good
Guy #1: Clever, very clever, now hand us your money now
In a threatening voice, as he pulled out his pocket knife, but Pvt. Sokolov chuckled
Pvt. Sokolov: *chuckles*
Guy #1: What's so funny?
Pvt. Sokolov: You don't know a thing about me, tovarisch. I've seen things worse than getting mugged by three kids who thinks covering themselves in tattoos and wearing expensive clothes and jewelry makes themselves look cool
(Guy #3: I don't even have tattoos)
Guy #1: Enough! Do you want to live or not?
Pvt. Sokolov: I think it's you who should be answering that
Guy #1: You motherfu-
Guy #1 shanked his knife, but Pvt. Sokolov disarmed him and knocked his nose with his palm at the same time
(Guy #3: Yo! He got kung fu'ed!)
Guy #1: ARRGH! My nose!
Guy #1 groaning in the background
Pvt. Sokolov: Anyone else?
Guy #2 & #3 looks at each other
Guy #2: Nah, we good
Guy #3: Yeah, I forfeit, is that a thing?
Pvt. Sokolov: Well good, take your friend, and leave now
Guy #2: Yep, we're doing that exactly
All three guys leave
Pvt. Sokolov: Can't believe I did that
Pvt. Sokolov looks at his watch
Pvt. Sokolov: 5:30, shit, I need to go back to base
Pvt. Sokolov spots a taxi
Pvt. Sokolov: Taxi!
Pvt. Sokolov enters the taxi
Taxi Driver: Where we headed?
Pvt. Sokolov: Just go west of the island, I'll tell the directions on the way
Taxi Driver: Alright, buckle up
Pvt. Sokolov heads back to the EGO Base to prepare with Cameo for the music festival
[Barkov's Forces HQ 1815 Hours]
Unknown Man: So, this "EGO" group of theirs, is that what you're concerned about?
Col. Sudorov: Yes, they already breached one of our main outposts, it's vital that we conquer everything in this island, however that cannot be achieved as there are other people out there, hunting for the same game
Unknown Man: What are you proposing?
Col. Sudorov: It's a competition, why struggle when you can just get rid of the competition itself
Unknown Man: I don't get it
Col. Sudorov: These EGO people are in war with another group who call themselves ALTER. What if we wipe out both EGO and ALTER at the same time?
Unknown Man: And take the island for yourself?
Col. Sudorov: Exactly! I don't care what people say about me, whether I'm crazy or not, but I'll tell you this, I'm doing Mother Russia a favor
Unknown Man: But I thought Russia disowned you
Col. Sudorov: That is because they fell for the West and their delusional mind games. Once this island is ours, you and I will come home as heroes
Unknown Man: Now that is something I can agree in
Col. Sudorov: *evil laugh* Fan-fucking-tastic
Unknown Man: I'll see how much arms I can supply to you. Expect my men to arrive next week here at your base
Col. Sudorov: Very well, soon the former heroes will perish and we'll be the ones succeeding their thrones
Unknown Man: Whatever you say
Col. Sudorov and the unknown man forms a truce, as they have one common goal in their minds, to conquer the Fortnite Island and prove themselves as true patriots
