[Salty Springs 1325 Hours]

The EGO Team arrive via pickup trucks and golf carts in Salty Springs to sweep the area for any Russian mercs in the area, but the worst part is the place is very crowded

Pvt. Sokolov: Great, how the hell are we going to find them through this crowd?

Turk: Split up. Journey, 8-Ball, Remedy, you're with me. Cameo and Rippley, you're with Sokolov

Cameo: On it, Turk

Pvt. Sokolov: Okay, let's make sure we don't scare off everyone here, the last thing we want are dead civilians

The two groups then split up to search through the crowd for any possible threats without alerting the civilians

Cut to Turk

Turk: Do you see some guys?

Cut to Pvt. Sokolov

Pvt. Sokolov: Nothing here, we'll search further

In radio voice

Turk: Copy, same as here

The EGO Team continues to search the area. While sweeping one part of Salty Spring, Pvt. Sokolov sees an unusual figure in the distance

Pvt. Sokolov: There, look

There were two figures that Pvt. Sokolov saw. One was wearing a hoodie, the other is wearing a beanie and shades. The two figures saw Pvt. Sokolov as well and walks away

Pvt. Sokolov: I see two guys, that could be the mercenaries. We're going after them

In radio voice

Turk: Don't lose them

Pvt. Sokolov: On it, let's go

Pvt. Sokolov, Cameo, and Rippley follow the two guys to see where it leads to. One of them knew that they were being followed

Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Fuck it

The mercenary pulls out his X16 pistol and the other his AK74u, but Pvt. Sokolov was quick enough that he double tapped both of them

Civilians screaming in the background

Cameo: It's okay, everything's alright, you're safe now

Pvt. Sokolov: Turk, we followed them and, they're mercenaries alright

In radio voice

Turk: Alright, regroup now, we need to get these people outta here

By the road, two vans roll up, and out comes the mercs, and started opening fire on Pvt. Sokolov and his teammates

Pvt. Sokolov: Look out!

The mercs open fire at them, while the three take cover behind a car. Rippley fires back, then Pvt. Sokolov

Pvt. Sokolov: Turk, we got mercs over here, we're pinned down

Cut to Turk

Turk: Same here, we're taking fire here

Cut to Pvt. Sokolov

Pvt. Sokolov: Damn it

Cameo: What's the plan

Pvt. Sokolov: See if you can flank them, me and Rippley will cover you

Cameo: Got it

Pvt. Sokolov and Rippley opened fire on the mercs while Cameo runs to the left side and manages to drop two of the mercs

Rippley: Eat lead

Pvt. Sokolov: Let them have it

Meanwhile at Turk and his group, 8-Ball slashes through the mercs with his swords, Journey killed three mercs with her M1911, and Turk and Remedy used their M4A1s to pin down the rest of the mercs

Turk: Keep shooting them

One merc tries to shoot Journey from the back, but 8-Ball kills the merc right on time

Journey: Thanks

Mercenary #2: *in Russian* Fuck this, let's get out of here

The mercs fall back to their vans and drive away

Cut to Pvt. Sokolov

Pvt. Sokolov shoots one merc, grabs his body, and using it as a shield while using the merc's AK to shoot the other mercs. Rippley bodyslams one merc to the ground

Mercenary #3: *empties entire mag on Rippley*

Rippley: Ouch

Rippley then clothesline the merc

Cameo: Help!

Cameo was being pinned down by three mercs, luckily, Rippley charges at them like a bull on steroids and all three were down on their backs

Cameo: Thanks there, love

Rippley: Umm... what do you mean by love?

Cameo: Oh Rippley

Pvt. Sokolov: Hey, need help here

The three EGO members finish off the rest of the mercs, until they completely run away

Cameo: Yeah, that's right! You just messed with the wrong gal!

Pvt. Sokolov: I'd save the celebrations for later

The rest of EGO regroup and recover from the attack

Pvt. Sokolov: Looks like Sudorov made his move, and clearly it's our turn now

Turk: Are you sure these guys are with him?

Pvt. Sokolov: Well, let's see here. One, they literally speak Russian; Two, they use AKs; Three, there are no other people in this island that has that, other than me so, yes, they're definitely Sudorov's goons

Remedy: Good thing that no one got hurt, especially the civilians

Journey: Yeah, but I think we gonna have to call it a day, I need to rest for a bit

Pvt. Sokolov: I agree, but once we regain our energy, we need to focus on how we can deal with Sudorov, and probably, those ALTER people you were talking about

Rippley: Yeah, I totally forgot about them

Turk: For now, we need to rest our heads for awhile

Rippley: Well, time to hit the hay

[Kevolution Energy, Steamy Stacks 1545 Hours]

Chaos Agent is looking through the monitors and seen the recent events that have unfolded

Chaos Agent: Hmm, looks like a competitor has entered the game, well at least those EGO rats have two problems to deal with now

A mysterious figure appears behind him

Chaos Agent: Huh? Who's there?

He exclaimed while aiming with a .357 Revolver

?: *in Russian* Smart

Chaos Agent: Excuse me? Look, I have no time to talk to visitors so unless you're a test subject of mine, you might want to leave this place this instance

The mysterious figure continues to stalk Chaos Agent

Chaos Agent: I wouldn't keep doing that if I were you

The mysterious figure finally appears from the shadows

Chaos Agent: Who are you?

Col. Sudorov: Good question
