As the camera feed comes into view it is shown from the perspective of the last of 5 soldiers in a stack along a building as the sound of well... nothing could be heard. Suddenly all hell broke loose as gunfire erupted from inside the building at which point the 5 soldiers entered through the door they were stacked up on and waiting.
As soon as they entered the room however shit started flying as their point-man got gunned down by something they had never seen before... rounds that pierce through aura. As the one in front went down the next in line took his place and avenged him. Slowly as they made their way through the building the gunfire died down and eventually stopped as they met up with the rest of the squad and collected the bodies of their fallen brothers to bury...

[Timeskip brought to you by an author who doesnt yet want to reveal the plot of this whole thing but sucks at being ambiguous]

The helmet cam showed one last look at the makeshift graves of their fallen brothers as they turned away. once it was starting to turn dusk they started heading to Exfil point Alpha as reaper tried calling in their evac

Reaper: "This is Ghost 1-1 to Command we have completed the mission and are heading for exfil, what's the ETA over?"

. . .

Reaper: "what do you mean we're on our own?!"

. . .

Reaper sighed as he stopped "looks like we're not going home boys, i say we set up camp here for the night, then we get moving in the morning"

As the soldiers got to work setting up the camp they hummed a little tune before eventually setting down around a fire one of them built and set their helmets down near them as the one who wore the helmet the camera view is coming from started playing a guitar.

Soon the men started singing but in a language unheard of on remnant. At least for a long time it has been unheard of.

As the men sung to the pace of the guitar they all smiled with a hint of grief  and sadness yet a spark of hope in their eyes which could only be seen by each other and not the cameras

Reaper POV:
As we sung around the fire to spectre's guitar we all looked around and reminisced, we even sung for our fallen brothers, ghost, oni, wraith, and phantom. But we must go on, the mission will be completed, and we shall do it for them, and for all of us who have fallen before them.

Spectre POV:
As our singing came to an end we all looked around for one final time in the night just looking at each other and enjoying the little downtime we have together before we have to hike on foot to wherever we can, reaper may have fucked up but he's still our SL and we will follow him wherever whenever because only we understand each other, but we have been finding more of us who have been dragged from our homes and families to fight, so we will search until we are all accounted for... which may be never but we will still try, but for now we must rest before marching to the nearest town.

Unknown POV:
As the soldiers had stopped singing and started talking to each other in an unknown language on remnant the camera feed cut off after a bit as the screen went black and whoever was watching thought for a second before standing up and walking off.
