Audio Log from Colonel Roy 'Papa Bear' Stanford; Field Commander of the notorious 'Black Bear' commando unit.
Stanford: Anyway, me and my boys were pinned down out there, make no mistake. I didn't think those bloody Slavs could shoot so far and be so damned accurate. Luck of the devil I'd say… if only they didn't hit every single time. Hughes was dead with half his skull blown out in the middle of the street barely a metre away and Hughes and Lewis were bleeding out. Sick bastards wanted us to go out and help them so we could be next. Hughes and Lewis were tighter than brothers, which is how they'd ended up as they were.
So anyway, like I was saying, we were pinned in that run down old tenement building, with snipers and sharpshooters watching us for so much as a twitch. After about a minute my boys were getting itchy. They wanted to hurt these animals. Wanted revenge; and I wanted it pretty bad myself. So I was about to just pop out from behind the doorway and just unload on the closest tall place I could see when all of a sudden I hears a shot. Then another one. Until after about a minute of regular shooting, my headset squawks to life and I hear that cocky little German merc I left all the way back at the encampment.
'You can come out now. People are dead,' he says over the comms and I almost blow a gasket then and there. What bloody cheek I thought! That he'd disobeyed a direct order to remain there and waltz all the way out here. I had as good a mind as any to give him what for once we found him again – even if he was a dirty merc I'd have thought he'd at least have standards…
Then we reached Hughes and Lewis… God help me, their faces when we told them who the bastard done saved them was. I didn't, and still don't like the little shite, and if I ever see his mug again it'll be far too soon, but with Christ as my witness in that moment I loved him for saving two of my boys.
Him and that eagle eye of his…

I have no idea if the Black Bear Commando Unit actually exists (I'll assume it doesn't). Otherwise, hope this sustains you until the next release proper.
