As the camera feed comes into view we see 'baseplate' asleep on a cot, no blanket, no pillow, but curiously they are in full combat gear, minus the plate carrier and helmet. But suddenly they start moving, as if they were recalling a bad memory, so this obviously means they were having a nightmare, but how would one so evil, have something scare them?
[DreamLand POV]
???:"okay, on three we breach and take this fucker out" as the unknown finished their sentence everyone including 'baseplate' nodded, and as soon as the door opened, the setting was clear, they were on top of a building, with a broken dam in the background, flooding the city, as the one they were after was trying to escape via a Bullhead, and as they all made it on, a fight ensued, causing a pilot to get killed, and as the bullhead went down they managed to kill the one they were after, but soon the bullhead crashed back into the building they were on, causing it to split in half, with the unknown from earlier holding onto 'baseplate' through a piece of metal, and holding onto a wire so they didn't fall in themself
???:"I'm not leaving you wendigo!" The unknown called out but they looked oddly familiar
Wendigo:"pull me up reaper! We can all make it" the one previously known as baseplate responded frantically as they were slowly slipping while the others were saying wendigo needed to be dropped but eventually they slipped, distress shown in both soldiers eyes, before resentment poured into one of theirs as they hit the water below and disappeared
[Camera POV]
As soon as the dream ended wendigo shot up into a sitting position, breathing heavily, before taking a deep breath and growling out, "I'll get you, reaper, and your little band of backstabbers" as they finished their sentence they got up, before putting on their helmet and plate carrier, before grabbing a weapon and leaving the bunker.
[3rd POV with the main group]
Reaper sneezed while cleaning his weapon for the umpteenth time, in his mind he asked if he had a cold, but he brushed it off as he didn't feel sick, as he finished cleaning his weapon, he put it with his gear, by his bed, before laying down and sighing as he fell asleep, but in his dreams, his mind kept replaying one specific dream, over and over, as if to torture him for his failure, this dream, was the one where he let his teammate, his best friend, and his brother in arms down, the day where grey, or as most of everyone else in the squad knew him as, 'Wendigo' slipped from his grip, it's almost like his mind is mocking him for his weakness, but what hurt him the most, was the look in his eyes as he fell, the look of resentment, and pure, unfiltered, hatred, naturally he had his squad search through the water for him, but sadly they never found him, this one failure, as small as it may have been to the world, haunts him, and will haunt him, till his death, even now he doesn't speak of it to his new team, the only way they know of a Wendigo being on the team, was the set of 'Dog Tags' that reaper keeps, the only name being inscribed instead of the actual name was Wendigo.
