3 years earlier..
1st January, 2012,
Grand Bara, Djibouti.

It was around 3 years when one of the US ballistic missile was stolen by particular group, though the group is classified according to CIA however the record stays clean and what had happened was recorded in an expunged file.

Early then.. an armed convoy passed by a deserted region somewhere else in Djibouti, the group of the convoy is presumed to be 'ATLAS' contractors (which is still) under the command of Captain Riggs, at the time and apparently the convoy must be holding something massive which is presumed to be a US ballistic missile.

That's right. They're not exactly supplying certain terrorist group or political group but the document states they're possibly delivering the missile to Fort Zeus, or should we say a US military installation located approximately 9,62 Kilometers from their current position. 'ATLAS' itself is not necessarily an SOF group or special forces, they're better known as a PMC group. The convoy, led by Captain Riggs, was told to follow any instruction given without questioning it and keep the convoy moving whilst being on their way out in the desert.

Captain Riggs, as a team leader, was already aware that something is definitely wrong when the vehicle convoy suddenly stopped.. confused, he questioned the driver, "What's going on?"

"No idea, Capt.. The front row just stopped moving." Answered the driver who's also confused.

Riggs immediately asked the other crew in the front if something is wrong, the other crew members told him if they ran out of fuel.. "We ran out of fuel, boss.." Said one of the contractor,

"Outzone 1-2, we still have some gasolines in the back to fuel your vehicle. The rest, get your asses working and help them out." Said the other contractor who's currently taking the lead on the back row.

Riggs looked out of the window to see some of his men outside their vehicles, some are gathering gasolines from a truck in the back row of the formation. The rest are still working to refuel their vehicles when suddenly Riggs noticed a thin bright light elevating far away in the sky, he managed to brush his negative thoughts away and he asked his men,

"5-9, check for status. Over?" Asked Riggs while observing the activity from the window of his vehicle,

"Status check. No sign of malfunction found so far.." Said the contractor earlier.

The others remained silent and so did Riggs, he remained silent on his seat for a moment while he's staring at the window of his vehicle. After a few moments he ends up speaking with his radio to check the condition again: "4-7, status check. How's it going?" Asked the Captain,

"Status check. Vehicle is read-" Suddenly the radio jammed and there was no message heard from the radio.

"Er.. Hello?" Said Riggs on his radio but he didn't get any response from his men.

Because of this he had to get out of his vehicle and make sure everything's okay, he saw two contractors while making his way to the first row vehicle. He approached them and asked them, "What in the world is happening people?"

The other two turned around (facing him) and they answered his question: "We had no idea, the entire signal is deemed to be down."

"Oh fucking hell.." Riggs muttered before looking away to the sky where he saw a bright light coming at them in lightning speed.

Perceiving this as an immediate threat, he shouted and warned his men outside: "Incoming projectile from the northwest!" He yelled.

And that's when an explosion was heard, vehicles in the front row are burned and crippled leaving a few men injured critically followed by critical damages for the convoy and suddenly they got rained (ambushed) by bullets coming at them from nowhere. Riggs  shouted: "Multiple contacts detected from unknown positions. Over!"
