Escape From Remnant: A Tarkov X RWBY Crossover

Chapter 60.1: When Home Isn't So Sweet

"Guess who's back!" Announced Moron's voice coming from the open hideout door. All four men stepped forward into the hideout after what seemed like an eternity on the surface. They all moved to place down their bags and extra gear wherever applicable shedding themselves of the extra unnecessary weight. Texas and Moron then fished out the keycards that Peacekeeper had given them setting the pair upon the weapon workbench. Neo walked out of the bathroom drying her pink, cream, and brown hair with a towel. She had her military fatigues on and had gone to see what the men had brought home.

"Where're the other girls?" Texas asked Neo walking up to her spinning his head in all directions to catch sight of Ruby and Weiss wherever they may be. Neo with a blank stare pointed towards the room where everybody slept. The girls didn't even finish the movie, instead, they fell asleep halfway through then got woken up when shit got real towards the end at the Iwo Jima part proceeding to sleep in their beds after having nearly an hour of light sleep in uncomfortable positions.

Texas knocks on the closed door that leads to the room forming his fist into a ball and hitting his hand against the metal surface three times. He didn't want to walk in on something potentially embarrassing or private after all, each one of them could honestly do with more privacy these days within their little underground bunker but alas that wasn't possible. The sound produced by the knocking reverberated as the door shook against the frame waking up the 2 sleeping girls. He heard people stumble awake within, coming to their feet from the inside. Knowing they were awake now he decided to proceed with a booming announcement so that they would know the reason for their waking up.

"We got the info about the lab! We'll be discussing it soon!"

The girls appeared shortly after swinging the door open for them. Texas had only begun to walk away having his back turned to the door and was surprised at how fast they had gotten ready. Even without any threats or drive they had gotten ready dressed in their military fatigues quicker than a Marine in training with an enraged staff Sergeant hollering on his ass.

Texas then felt something buzz in his pocket, his smartphone had received a notification and he stopped in place to open and read the text. The notification on the home page wasn't from a known contact and thus was flagged as unknown. His phone probably thought it was a scam from the looks of things but since he was in Tarkov there weren't such things as random scam messages. Thinking it was gonna be a trader who he didn't have the number of offering a job or a chance to work with them he did not expect the text to begin with his full legal name.

"Hey, Texas! Everyone is here already you good?" Floridaman called out to his buddy as Texas read the rest of the text to garner whatever context there possibly was to this doxxing. He didn't respond and just stood there like he was on some sort of drugs staring into the phone screen.

"Dear...

I'm sure you're sceptical of what's going on right now considering this is an unknown contact yet we have you're full name. But this requires your utmost importance. Peacekeeper's mission has changed, you are to deliver the device in three days to the-"

His phone suddenly swaps screen mid-read, with his face practically smashed into the screen and his ringtone sounding out he was jumpscared he nearly dropped his phone beginning the game of trying to get a hold of his phone without stumbling over like a game of hot potato. As he got hold of the vibrating device in his hands, he saw who was calling. Skier was calling, evident by the default profile picture of a person's silhouette but digitally edited to be wearing his iconic skier hat. Without thinking he answered since he wanted to see what Skier had to say then quickly go back to reading the message.

By now everyone was staring at him like he was a clown at a circus performance. The voice on the other end was frantic, Skier was panicked with something burning in the background coupled with frantic shouting in Russian from multiple voices.
