Somewhere over Siberia
"Davai! "
Hearing those words, Spetsnaz Team 12 filed into the Mi-14 .The chopper's rotors were already whirring as the Black ops operatives took their places in the aerial transport vehicle. One of the operatives, a 19 year old known as Kozodoy ( or Nighthawk), gazed out the window into the ebony sky dotted with various stars twinkling many different colors. He waited to hear the mission details from his superior officer.
"Poslushay ! Listen up!" The officer walked along the aisles as the Spetsnaz soldiers glanced at him. " This mission is top secret so I recommend that you stay under the radar. You are to hunt down a super weapon that has evaded our forces and recover it. Let me remind you that this weapon can tip the balance of power in our direction if we can retrieve it in one piece."
A super weapon, Kozodoy thought. That shouldn't be too hard. The only challenge we'll have is to pinpoint its location.
"I know what you are all thinking, comrades." The officer smiled as he continued his pacing. "This assignment will be a walk in the park and not require you to use your fancy weapons there." He glanced at the AK-74s in the operatives' hands. "However, you should be warned that a squad was sent before you many months ago on the same mission yet none returned alive. All I ask you all to is to remain vigilant and look out for each other." The officer took off his olive green hat and held it in his arms as his eyes darted across his soldiers.
A whole squad gone missing in action for a search and retrieve operation? Nighthawk wondered. What could possibly go wrong? This doesn't add up.
To pass time, Kozodoy fiddled with his weapons and checked his attire. All of it was black-his vest, his jacket, helmet, everything. He looked to his right and noticed his comrade Volk ( Wolf) doing the exact same thing. It seemed that everyone was anxious to finish this mission successfully. After all, that is what they were trained to do.
After about a half and hour, the squad leader stood up and took to the center of the aircraft. Like them, he was dressed in a black helmet, black balaclava , and combat attire.
" Vnimaniye, tovarisch! Attention, comrades!" he barked. "In about a few seconds, we will land in our LZ. It is an abandoned World War 2 military base which was where the target, Stroyyny Muzchina, was last reported to be seen. Gather your weapons and stand in order!"
The Spetsnaz did as they were told. No sooner had they stood that they felt the helicopter descend until it landed on hard ground.
" Before you head out to retrieve the target, I ask you this," the leader continued. "Try to refrain from shooting it as it is valuable to us alive and in one piece. If you are threatened to the point of an existential crisis for you or your squad mates, then you may shoot if there is no other alternative. Now move out!"
