The transport arrived in Scotland the transport flew towards the Resistance base and soared through the hangar and landed the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off the back door of the transport then closed and I walked towards the command room where Nitro was waiting "Good you're back I've got a new mission for you." Nitro said "Alright what is it?" I asked "We've just discovered the location of a Federation vault, the Federation have a facility with a large vault inside of it just on the outskirts of Havana in Cuba we've learned that the Federation have abandoned this facility." Nitro said "Okay so what's inside the vault?" I asked "Well that's what we need to find out, so I'm sending you to the Federation vault to open it and get whatever is inside of it." Nitro answered "Alright I'll get it done." I said as I was just about to turn around and leave the command room but just then Nitro stopped me "Not so fast Josh we've learned that this Federation vault is locked up tight the facility has three control consoles that are used to unlock the vault so we're also sending three Resistance fighters out there to activate these control consoles to open the vault, the three Resistance fighters will be guided through the facility by a fourth Resistance fighter who will hook up a computer to the facility to gain access to the technical readout of the facility this Resistance fighter will then use the technical readout of the facility to guide each of the three Resistance fighters to each of the control consoles." Nitro said "So why are you sending me out there?" I asked "You will be in the facility with the three Resistance fighters as they are guided to the control consoles, you will protect the three Resistance fighters as they complete their mission." Nitro said "If the Federation abandoned the facility why do I need to protect the Resistance fighters?" I asked "I'm sending you out there with the Resistance fighters just in case, we can never be too careful." Nitro replied "Alright." I said "Go to the transport and meet up with the Resistance fighters open that vault and get whatever's inside." Nitro said "Yeah I got it." I said as I left the command room, I approached the crate of ammunition and refilled my ammo before I approached the transport I walked up to the transport and could see four Resistance fighters standing next to the transport three of the Resistance fighters inspecting their guns while the fourth Resistance fighters was holding a metal container one of the Resistance fighters turned and looked at me before he spoke "Josh you're coming with us on this mission?" the Resistance fighter asked "That's the plan." I replied "Awesome if you're on this mission with us then this mission will be easy." the Resistance fighter said, just then the back door of the transport opened and the four Resistance fighters stepped onto the transport I stepped onto the transport before the back door of the transport closed "Take us to Havana in Cuba." one of the Resistance fighters said "You got it boys." the pilot said as the transport took off and flew out of the hangar as it made it's way towards Cuba.

The transport arrived in Cuba I looked out through the transport window and could see a Federation facility just on the outskirts of Havana "That must be where the Federation vault is." I thought, the transport flew towards the facility when suddenly the transport was struck by something the transport shook violently as me and the other Resistance fighters looked around "What was that?" I asked "I don't know something hit us!" the pilot said, just then I looked through the transport window and could see a Demon the Demon was large it had red eyes and horns on it's head it had several long tendrils with blades on the ends of them all over it's body the Demon was latched onto the transport the Demon attacked the transport with it's long tendrils as the pilot tried to maintain control of the transport "Open the back door!" I yelled, the pilot opened the back door of the transport I looked and could see the Demon as it attacked the transport I raised my assault rifle and fired at the Demon the Demon roared in pain as I shot it but just then the Demon tried to attack me with it's long tendrils the Demon reached inside of the transport with it's long tendrils I narrowly avoided it's attacks but then I saw one of the Demon's long tendrils impaled one of the Resistance fighter the Demon then pulled it's long tendril out of the Resistance fighter the Resistance fighter collapsed to the floor dead I continued shooting as the Demon kept trying to hit me just then the Demon lunged one of it's long tendrils at me I evaded it's attack but the pilot was struck by the Demon's long tendril the pilot was killed by the Demon's long tendril and the transport began plummeted towards the ground I eventually managed to shoot the Demon enough that it let go of the transport and disappeared me and the surviving Resistance fighters braced ourselves as the transport crashed into the ground me and the other Resistance fighters were flung about as the transport hit the ground I closed my eyes as the transport crashed into the ground and after awhile everything settled I opened my eyes and could see that I was on my back and the other Resistance fighters were struggling to stand after what had happened I stood up and looked around "Everyone okay?" I asked "I'm fine." one Resistance fighter said "Me too." another Resistance fighter said "I'm okay." a third Resistance fighter said, I then looked and could see the Resistance fighter that got impaled by the Demon he was dead I then looked at the pilot and could see that the pilot was also dead "Shit." I said, I then turned around and looked at the three surviving Resistance fighters the three Resistance fighters looked at the dead Resistance fighter before looking at the dead pilot "Fuck, what do we do now?" one of the Resistance fighters asked "We continue the mission." I replied "He was the one who was supposed to guide us through the facility." the Resistance fighter said as he pointed to the dead Resistance fighter "Well then change of plans, I will guide you through the facility." I said "If you're guiding us through the facility then who will protect us?" the Resistance fighter asked, I looked at the Resistance fighters and could see the shotguns that they all were carrying "Well you have guns don't you I'm sure you know how to defend yourselves." I answered, the three Resistance fighters looked at each other nervously as I looked at the metal container that the dead Resistance fighter was holding I grabbed the metal container and inspected it "What's this?" I asked "That is a computer that we need to plug into the Federation facility once that computer is plugged into the Federation facility it will display the technical readout of the facility." one of the Resistance fighters replied, I opened the metal container and I could see a computer inside of it I placed the computer on a rack behind the cockpit I then saw a large extendable cable on the computer I grabbed the cable and handed it to one of the Resistance fighters "Hook me up." I said, one of the Resistance fighters grabbed the cable before all three Resistance fighters stepped out of the transport they took a quick look around before they approached the facility I stepped out of the transport and watched as the three Resistance fighters walked up to the facility the one Resistance fighter that took the cable entered the facility through the front door which was open I looked at the front door and noticed that it was rather large after a few seconds he exited the facility without the cable I entered the transport and looked at the computer I could see a power button on the computer I pressed the power button and the computer turned on I looked at the screen and could see the technical readout of the facility it looked like a map of the facility I could see every room in the facility every room in the facility was a white outline that had a number in the center of it I then looked and noticed a large white outline in the center of the facility the white outline had the word "Vault." in the center of it there was a long corridor that went from the entrance to the vault I noticed that the corridor that went from the front entrance to the vault was quite large, just then one of the Resistance fighters approached me "So you need to use this computer to guide us through the facility, you can talk to us using your communicator we are on channels ten, eleven and twelve." the Resistance fighter said "Alright." I said as the Resistance fighter left the transport, I stepped out of the transport and watched as the three Resistance fighters entered the facility I then looked up and noticed black clouds approaching the area "There's a storm coming." I thought, I then walked back into the transport and looked at the computer I then activated my communicator and changed it to the correct channel to talk to one of the Resistance fighters "Alright I can see the technical readout of the facility but I can't see you guys." I said "You need to input commands into the computer in order to track us, type track Resistance_fighter_1 on the keyboard." the Resistance fighter said, I then began typing on the keyboard "Track Resistance_fighter_1." I typed and just then I could see a small square appear on the computer the small square was at the entrance of the facility the small square had the word "Resistance_fighter_1." in the center of it "I can see you now." I said "Good you need to find the control consoles, type ping console_1." the Resistance fighter said "Ping console_1." I typed and just then I could see another square on the screen the square was on the left side of the facility the square had the word "Console_1." in the center of it "I can see the control console." I said "Good now you need to guide me there once I reach the control console I will activate it once the control console has been activated it will release one of the locks on the vault it will also give you more control over the facility from that computer you will then have to find the other control consoles and guide the other Resistance fighters to them, the Federation abandoned this facility quite some time ago the entire facility is dark our visibility is low in here." the Resistance fighter said "Alright I'll guide you to the control consoles." I said as I stared at the computer.
