[EGO Base 0940 Hours]
Cameo wakes up from her sleep with a minor headache and amnesia, not remembering a thing from last night
Cameo: Ughh, my head
She also sees Rippley in the lower bunk, snoring loudly
Cameo: Oi Rippley! Wake up!
Rippley: W-what? What happened? *yawn*
Cameo: Should've not taken those extra shots
Rippley: Well, we need to get up now, the others are probably waiting
In the canteen area
Pvt. Sokolov: Good sleep?
Cameo: Well, sorta
Rippley: Where's the others?
Pvt. Sokolov: Turk is in the command room, Remedy in infirmary, and Journey and 8-Ball are still sleeping in the same bunk. If I disturb them, I'm afraid that 8-Ball will turn me into shashlik so I let them do their thing, you know, sex?
Cameo: At least we had a fun night, yeah?
Pvt. Sokolov: More like at least we know why I don't drink on the job
PA Speaker: The following personnel, please report to Turk; Journey, 8-Ball, Remedy, Rippley, Cameo, and Igor Sokolov
Pvt. Sokolov: Well, breakfast will have to wait *sips coffee*
Rippley: I'll wake up Journey and 8-Ball
Cameo: Copy that
In the Command room
Turk: So how's the party last night?
Cameo: Well, it's a bit of a long story
Turk: Don't worry, Sokolov told me about everything
Everyone looks at Pvt. Sokolov
Pvt. Sokolov: What?
Turk: Anyways, we have reports that-
Cut to the two mercenaries
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Boss, we have eyes on the base. It looks well defended with a few number of troops outside
In radio voice
Unknown Man: *in Russian* Do you have eyes on their leader?
Continues scoping the EGO Base
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Negative, but we're confident that he's somewhere in the base
In radio voice
Unknown Man: *in Russian* Very well, proceed with the attack
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Copy that, we're going in
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Team Two, engage
Team Two Leader: *in Russian* Roger that, move in team
In radio voice
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Team Three, advance but remain out of sight
Team Three Leader: *in Russian* Affirmative, team, we're Oscar Mike
In the Command room
Journey: So, you're saying that ALTER and those Russian guys are in the same side?
Turk: Not clearly, but they do have the same intentions, so maybe that's why they're proposing a temporary alliance
8-Ball: Great, one problem turns into another
As the EGO Members discuss their plans, Pvt. Sokolov leans left to the window and sees the two of the mercenaries vaulting through the fence
Pvt. Sokolov: Turk?
Turk: Yes?
As Pvt. Sokolov looks around, he sees another two mercenaries, one of them has a PKM Light Machine Gun aimed at them
Pvt. Sokolov: Get down!
The PKM opened fire on the window, showering the command room with bullets, but luckily, everyone was quick enough and ducked in cover
Pvt. Sokolov: Is everyone alright?
Cameo: Yeah, we're okay
Pvt. Sokolov: Shit
As he looked down, he sees more mercenaries coming in
Pvt. Sokolov: Everyone grab your weapons, they're here
Rippley: Who?
Pvt. Sokolov: Barkov's fucking Forces *aggressively crawling*
Turk: Everyone get up, we need to get to the armory
As everyone was rushing to defend the base, one of the mercenaries tackled Pvt. Sokolov, but Pvt. Sokolov countered with a bodyslam and snapped the merc's neck, and taking his AK-47
Pvt. Sokolov: Everyone get to the armory, I'll cover you
Turk: Got it
As the EGO Members ran through the crossfire, Pvt. Sokolov provided cover fire for them, killing two of the mercenaries in the process
In the armory
EGO Soldier: Sir are you alright?
Turk: We're good, where's our guns?
EGO Soldier: In the back sir
The EGO Members then arm themselves with M4A1s, Model 680s, and SCAR-Hs. Meanwhile back at Pvt. Sokolov, he continues to shoot the mercs until he runs out of mags
Pvt. Sokolov: Shit *yeets AK*
Cameo: Oi here
Hands Pvt. Sokolov a SCAR-H
Pvt. Sokolov: Thanks
EGO opens fire on the mercs. From Pvt. Sokolov double tapping 3 mercs with his SCAR-H and pulling out an X16 pistol to kill the fourth one to 8-Ball slashing through a group of mercs with his swords
Pvt. Sokolov: They're falling back, keep hitting them
As the mercenaries retreat, the EGO Forces continue to lay down fire. The mercenary leader is shot in the leg by the gunfire and is incapacitated
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Don't fucking leave me here, you fucking pigs
Pvt. Sokolov: Don't you even think about it
Steps on the mercenary's hand to prevent him from using the AK
Pvt. Sokolov: Someone grab him
The EGO Team restrains the mercenary and brings him to the interrogation room
[EGO Base, Interrogation Room 1235 Hours]
Turk, 8-Ball, and Pvt. Sokolov interrogates the mercenary leader for information, regarding his possible connection with Barkov's Forces
8-Ball: Are you going to talk or what?
Pvt. Sokolov: He doesn't speak English, but I can translate the words
Turk: Good, tell him that if he has any connection with Barkov's Forces
Pvt. Sokolov: *in Russian* Do you have any connections, perhaps any run-ins with the Barkov's Forces?
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Eat shit *spits*
Pvt. Sokolov: *shakes head* Nothing
8-Ball: Tell him that if he doesn't answer, I will do the exact same thing his friends did to me
Pvt. Sokolov: C'mon, that will not work, it'll piss him off
Mercenary #1: Okay
Pvt. Sokolov: *in Russian* Excuse me
As the mercenary leader speaks, Pvt. Sokolov translates it and is able to find the much needed intel
Turk: What he said?
Pvt. Sokolov: He said that there is an "event" he and his friends are murmuring about
Turk: What event?
Pvt. Sokolov: He said it's in Salty Springs and that's it, he doesn't know else
8-Ball: How about we start shaving that tongue of his-
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* No! No! That's all I know, I promise
Pvt. Sokolov: He's right, that's all he knows
Turk: Well, we need to get there now, it's probably happening at this point
8-Ball: Got it
Everyone exits the interrogation room to get to Salty Springs to avert the Russian mercenaries' plans to terrorize the local populace there
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* W-wa-wait, what about me?
Pvt. Sokolov: We'll deal with your sorry ass later *shuts door*
