Chapter 12: Boom Box and The Deuce
Cutscene
Catra: Sitrep, ma'am? The last few months in Basra territory have taken their toll. Morale is down, it's hot ma'am and the sandstorm. Tanks are getting bogged down, visibility is annoyed, and supplies aren't getting through. We can't even get the wounded out. Yes ma'am, understood...
"Boom Box and The Deuce"
February 24th, 2032 - 1012hrs
Medina Ridge, Southwest of Basra, Iraq
Pvt. Adora
1st Marine Division
Glimmer: (to Adora) So, this is the ridge where the Major talking about. 1991 tank mission. What a rust...
Catra: We're moving out.
Glimmer: What's the skinny?
Catra: Major Angella's ordered another attack on the enemy stronghold, beyond this ridge.
Glimmer: Any word on supply? Like ammo, fresh water or somethings?
Catra: They will coming.
Glimmer: When?
Catra: Just get up there, Corporal.
The Marines begin moving up the hill.
Catra: We've got heavily fortified machine gun in that bunker. Spread out.
Landmines jumps out of ground and exploded.
Catra: Fireworks! Ambush! Adora, get ready to take out enemy infantry!
The Marines return fire and come to the bunker.
Glimmer: That MG's got the perimeter covered!
Catra: Adora, pop smoke!
Adora throws a smoke grenade in the MG's field of vision.
Catra: Go, they can't see us! Disable that bunker!
The bunker is cleared.
Catra: Through the tunnels... There's more bunkers up ahead.
The Marines get through the tunnels and find three bunkers outside.
Catra: There're 3 active bunkers we need to mow 'em up! Adora, flank around and clear them out!
When the Marines come up to any bunker.
Catra: Adora! Throw the C4 on that bunker and detonate it!
Glimmer: Hurry up, homie!
The first bunker is destroyed.
Catra: One down, two to go!
The second bunker is destroyed.
Catra: Good job, private! Only one more bunker to destroy! Finish this shit up!
The Marines come up to the bridge.
Catra: Last bunker's on the other side of the bridge!
The Marines cross the bridge, reach the third bunker and destroy it.
Catra: Last one taken out! Good work!
The area is cleared of ISIS soldiers.
Catra: Squad, regroup on me.
The Marines regroup at a door, which Catra tackles open.
Glimmer: So, what do we do now?
Catra: We keep moving, Corporal. Let's go.
American tanks drive by.
Catra: Out tanks are moving out. Convoy won't be far behind.
A tank explodes from a mortar.
Glimmer: Mortar fire!
Catra: Take cover!
The Marines move up the hill and find the heavily fortified Iraqi stronghold.
Glimmer: THAT our objective? This is a DAMN fortress! Sarge! We can flank 'em! I see paths around either side!
They take the stronghold and regroup near a tunnel.
Glimmer: Sarge, the tunnel up ahead!
Catra: Good work, people. The Major's convoy is en route. After this, we'll be on easy street.
The Marines enter the tunnels and fight their way through to the second floor.
Catra: Up the ladder! Double time! I want this area secured.
Adora climbs the ladder to the third floor and clears it.
Catra: We got mortar positions above us.
The final floor of the stronghold is cleared and the Marines capture the Iraqi stronghold.
Catra: Outstanding, Marines! Out-fucking-standing! Now let's get out of this damn hole and start dealing with our wounded...
2 HOURS LATER...
Catra: Adora, get over here! Hold on kid, we're gonna get you out of here. Help me get him on the truck.
Adora helps Catra carry a wounded Marine (Lt. DiMaggio) to a truck. Major Angella is seen talking to Glimmer.
Angella: Okay, we're leavin'!
Catra: Ready? Lift...
They lift the Marine.
Glimmer: You're leaving?
Angella: Push ahead and take Bellamy AFB
Glimmer: But we're runnin' on empty and gettin' hotter here!
Angella: You'll have a fresh supply drop at 1230 hours today.
Glimmer: 1230?! How the hell are we supposed to hold out till 1230?! This is bullshit. You hear this, Sarge? We ain't getting shit and soaked 'til 1230 hrs.
Angella: Intel says Bellamy AFB is mostly deserted including the nuclear launch station.
Adora and Catra place the wounded Lieutenant DiMaggio on the truck.
Angella: Look on the bright side... After this, you girls will probably get relieved and be on the boat to home...
Glimmer: Oh yeah? That's what we thought after Oasis...
