7:30 AM
The EGO team wakes up after having a wild night. Everyone seems exhausted but they have to get up and work, knowing that they have an island to save
Cameo: Ughh, my head hurts, please don't tell me that we drank again last night
Rippley: I'm having flashbacks from that music festival thing we had
Cameo looks around the room
Cameo: Where's Igor?
Remedy: I'll go find him
Remedy goes out and finds Pvt. Sokolov in the canteen. Pvt. Sokolov sees her and grabs her attention
Pvt. Sokolov: Good morning
Remedy: What's this?
Pvt. Sokolov: I feel like I owe you and your friends, so I made you some breakfast
Pvt. Sokolov made some basic bacon and eggs, and buckwheat porridge with beef which he had back at the army. It was a simple breakfast, there was nothing special about it
Remedy: Wow, I didn't know you made all of that by yourself
Pvt. Sokolov: The chef is not happy about it, but I'd say everything is good
Remedy: Want me to help you out?
Pvt. Sokolov: Yeah, sure
Remedy and Pvt. Sokolov brings the trays of breakfast to the barracks so the others can eat
Remedy: It sure is a delicious looking breakfast, I can tell
Pvt. Sokolov: It's just plain old bacon and eggs, and a savory buckwheat porridge, what makes you so excited?
Remedy: Well, mostly because the canteen didn't have much delicious options, Journey had to spend a week in the infirmary after she got diarrhea from that oatmeal she ate
Pvt. Sokolov: Well, our food is much worse than you think
Remedy: What is it?
Pvt. Sokolov: I remember one time, they served us a 3 month old borsch soup
Remedy: Ew! That's gross *chuckles*
Pvt. Sokolov: Yep, no wonder we lose battles, it's because of the food
Remedy: Is that during your time in Barkov's Forces or after?
Pvt. Sokolov: I was no longer serving under Barkov that time, but I have to admit. Barkov has better chefs than the others, since they make these delicious potato salad that they serve every Tuesdays, which is a bit unfair
Remedy: Of course, it's the bad guys that have better meals
Pvt. Sokolov: *chuckles* You said it
They entered the barracks, bringing in the food for the team. Remedy laid down the tray to a table while Pvt. Sokolov shut the tent cover to cover the doorway
Cameo: What's that?
Remedy: It appears that Igor here has made us breakfast
Cameo: Aww, that's very sweet of you
Pvt. Sokolov: Doing what's called responsibities
8-Ball: Usually we eat at the canteen, but this, is new and great
Pvt. Sokolov: It should be, now c'mon, we must eat
8:15 AM
After having breakfast, the EGO team goes to meet Turk
Cameo: Igor, can I ask you something?
Pvt. Sokolov: Da?
Cameo: What was that porridge thing? Coz lemme tell you, that was one wicked porridge
Pvt. Sokolov: You really like that? Okay then, it's buckwheat porridge with slices of beef, you could substitute with pork if you want. Used to eat bowls of it during my time in Georgia
Cameo: Can you tell me how to make it?
Pvt. Sokolov: Sure, I'll share you the recipe later, don't worry
In the Command Room
Turk: So you guys had a good night?
Cameo: Umm, what are you talking about Turk?
Turk: Don't worry, no need to be concerned about it, now listen this one is big
8-Ball: What do we have?
Turk: It looks like Chic's intel is very true, to good to be true in fact. ALTER and Sudorov's Forces are on the same page. They are already dispatching most of their troops in the northern part of the island, perhaps to take it by force
Pvt. Sokolov: What's our move then?
Turk: Attacking them head on is too risky, but we have something else. One of our scout teams have intercepted a precious cargo coming to the island, likely belongs to Sudorov
Pvt. Sokolov: Sudorov is cooking up something, and it's not palatable, let me tell you that
Turk: We have no idea what's inside the cargo, what we do know it's located somewhere in Frenzy Farm, where ALTER and Sudorov's Forces are keeping a close eye on it
Pvt. Sokolov: Orders, sir?
Turk: Get to Frenzy Farm, locate and identify the cargo, and exfil. It's up to you guys how you do it, what matters is the mission
Journey: You got it, Turk
Turk: Good, now go, the cargo has already been dropped off to the farm
[Frenzy Farm 1030 Hours]
Cameo and Pvt. Sokolov are scouting the wheatfields to find a handful number of Russian troops in the area. Cameo is spotting the troops while Pvt. Sokolov looks down through the scope of his custom built AX-50 rifle
Pvt. Sokolov: How many do you count?
Cameo: I count seven guys outside. Four Russians, three ALTER soldiers
In radio
Journey: Igor, we're in position
Pvt. Sokolov: Copy that, on your go
Journey: Remedy and 8-Ball will search the house, me and Rippley will check the barn
Cameo: Copy that
Journey's POV
Journey: Alright Rippley, let's go
Rippley: Right behind you
Journey and Rippley sneaks through the wheatfields then takes cover behind a tractor
Journey: There's a sniper at the top of the house, can you get him?
The ALTER sniper suddenly gets shot in the head and drops dead
In radio
Pvt. Sokolov: Way ahead of you
Journey and Rippley continues to sneak their way to the farmhouse, narrowly avoiding a truck that dropped off six more Russian troops. They made it to the doorway of the house
Journey: There's three guys inside, I'll drop one while you get the other two, ready?
Rippley: Ready
Journey mounts her silenced M4A1 and shoots one ALTER soldier in the head while Rippley busts through the door like Kool-Aid Man and shoulder tackles the second ALTER soldier, knocking him back to the wall. The third soldier, a Russian, is quickly subdued by Rippley by arm triangle choke
Rippley: Shh, shh, sleep now
Journey looks at Rippley with an awkward look on her face
Rippley: What? You said to deal with the other two
8-Ball's POV
8-Ball knocks out two more Russians while Remedy shoots one ALTER soldier with her silenced M19 pistol
8-Ball: Turk: we're by the barn, we're going in
In radio
Turk: Good, once you found the package, tag it for location and get out of there
8-Ball: Copy that
8-Ball and Remedy opens the barn doors and finds the wooden crate where the package is being kept
Remedy: Jackpot, we found it
8-Ball grabs a crowbar to open the crate
8-Ball: Here's go nothing
8-Ball sticks the crowbar into a small opening and begins to wedge it open. After pulling it back and forth, the crate breaks open and 8-Ball and Remedy makes a shocking discovery
8-Ball: Turk, we got the package
In radio
Turk: What is it?
Remedy: Looks like some sort of... chemical gas? It came with a manifest in it
8-Ball: We can use the manifest to find out more about this gas
In radio
Turk: 8-Ball's right, we can take the manifest, it could help us give more information on the cargo
Remedy grabs the manifest and the two leave the barn
Remedy: What would Sudorov do with this gas and why?
8-Ball: Only one way to find out, and it's to-
In radio
Pvt. Sokolov: Guys! We have Russians coming to the farm, get out of there now, we'll cover you
8-Ball: Roger, we are on our way
Remedy: Let's go
Pvt. Sokolov's POV
Pvt. Sokolov: Chyort, they have the entire farm surrounded
Cameo: Okay
Pvt. Sokolov: Are you not going to help?
Cameo: I'm helping, I'll spot, you shoot
Pvt. Sokolov: Okay then
Pvt. Sokolov loads his rifle and sets his crosshairs on the enemy at the farm
In radio
8-Ball: Igor?
Pvt. Sokolov shoots one Russian in the head, loads the next round, and takes out the second
Pvt. Sokolov: Go, now
8-Ball and Remedy busts out through the barn doors and shoots at the Russians, while Pvt. Sokolov provides sniper fire for his teammates
Cameo: There! By the silo
Pvt. Sokolov shoots the sniper in the silo
Pvt. Sokolov: He's down
Pvt. Sokolov shoots three more Russian troops, while Journey and Rippley regroups with 8-Ball and Remedy and take cover
In radio
Journey: We're taking fire from all sides!
Pvt. Sokolov shoots four more Russians, and one Russian with an RPG-7. He reloads his gun and continues on firing
In radio
Turk: There is a chopper coming for evac, head to the LZ point south of your position
Pvt. Sokolov: Copy that! Everyone get out of there, me and Cameo will cover your retreat
In radio
Journey: Got it! We're getting out of here
The EGO team retreats while Pvt. Sokolov eliminates the advancing Russians to protect the EGO team. Soon after, Pvt. Sokolov and Cameo retreated as well
In radio
EGO Pilot: This is Thunder 3-1, what's your status, over?
8-Ball: Get us out of here, now!
EGO Pilot: Copy that, we're coming as quick as we can
Pvt. Sokolov: Hold them off!
The EGO team takes cover behind some rocks while the Russians have the high ground. Gunshots and yelling Russians are what makes up the noise in the area
Pvt. Sokolov: Where is our chopper?
8-Ball: We have to hold our ground for a little longer
As things were starting to become desperate, the EGO helicopter flew out of nowhere and its chopper gunner mowed down Sudorov's troops with the minigun. Thus, protecting the EGO team
In radio
EGO Pilot: EGO Team, this is Thunder 3-1, we're here for extraction
Pvt. Sokolov: Everyone go!
The team rushes to get to the chopper while Pvt. Sokolov provides more cover fire until he himself gets onboard
EGO Pilot: Hang on, guys! We're getting you outta here
The EGO chopper lifts off and the entire team escapes just in time
EGO Base
Turk: Excellent work guys, now what do we got?
Remedy pulls out the manifest she obtained
Remedy: We got the manifest. It has everything, from shipping schedules to package contents, everything is there
Pvt. Sokolov: What is it anyway?
8-Ball: Some sort of... gas, I believe
Pvt. Sokolov: Shit
Turk: Igor, do we have something?
Pvt. Sokolov: They have gas, yes. But the question is, how the hell are they getting that much? We need to know their source
Remedy: There is a picture here of a guy
Journey: Anything?
Remedy: Old guy, wears a trench coat. Hmm, bald in a funny way
Pvt. Sokolov: I don't know who that person is, but my guess is that, he's the one supplying Sudorov's men with the gas
Turk: Then that's our guy. We find him, he'll lead us to Sudorov and Chaos Agent
Pvt. Sokolov: And end this war for good
Turk: Correct
Barkov's Forces HQ
Col. Sudorov watches the UAV footage of Frenzy Farm and its destruction laid upon them
In radio
Russian Soldier: *in Russian* No sign of EGO, but the package is safe. However, they brought the manifest with them
Russian Officer: *in Russian* Copy that, you're clear for RTB now, out
The Russian Officer nervously walks to Col. Sudorov to report the incident
Russian Officer: *in Russian* Sir, the cargo is safe, but, they have the manifest. With the manifest, they'll know every single cargo we own coming to this island. What do we do?
Col. Sudorov scoffed after hearing the words
Col. Sudorov: *in Russian* Don't worry, comrade, they will not know half of it. They never will
