We arrive at the bridge and I see Oxy and Brixan. I shoot a glare at Del Rio.
"What is going on here captain?"
"I'm briefing them for their next mission"
My mood lifts when I hear this because I know they aren't in trouble.
"And you and Dax are going with them."
I jump to conclusions too fast... My mood sinks back and I stare at Del Rio. He tells us our mission and tasks us with a simple recon mission in which I am paired with O'hara. The captain dismisses us for our mission and I head out when Laskey stops me.
"Good luck Noxephix. I wish the best on your mission. Also I had them paint your DMR. I hope you like it."
"Thank you, sir." I continue back to my quarters to prepare.
I arrive back in my room and find the DMR that Laskey had modified. It's dark blue with gold stripes. It looks very regal. I place it on my back in exchange for the old one. I then go to the mess hall to meet up with my team.
I walk in and see O'hara and Brixan having an arm-wrestling match. "Stop guys, we've got work to do."
"Yes, sir." Brix and Oxy glare at me from beneath their helmets.
"Head to Pelican Bay Zero-Four and load up, we're being brought to th surface."
"Got it, sir" Brix and Oxy walk out.
Dax begins to follow but stops near me.
"Good luck."
"You too." I follow him out.
We pile up in the Pelican and we begin our flight to the surface.
"We have a recon mission through a ravine where apparently there have been reports of Covies in the area. Locals call this place 'Sniper Alley'. Let's not lose our heads."
We can only hope...
