We woke up to the sound of gunfire, making us jump out of my skin. I look at the gunman and see it was LT . Taylor. "Get up you lazy son of a bitches.I've got another job for you." He said with a smile. We all got up and saluted him "what's the job sir?"I say. He looked at the clipboard he was holding. "Biggs, Yuri, Williams and Mark head to the defensive line. Tower four, fourth floor." They all groaned but left quickly as the LT glared at them. He turned to me and told me to follow him.

He led me to what seemed to be a storage bunker and ordered the guards to leave. "I know this must seem strange but we have a important mission for you." I was confused. Why did he need me? I thought and he pulled a rifle case. He opened it to reveal a strange looking rifle. It was mostly black with a few warning signs on it and the barrel seemed to have five discs in it. "What is it?" I ask. He hands the rifle to me "from what I can tell it's a experimental railgun." Handed me the ammo for it. The ammo seemed to be metal spikes. He coughed to get my attention then continued. "Shortly after you stole the cargo from that transport we were contacted by Wartec asking to give them the weapon." I interrupted him "I fort Wartec was one of our company's?" He shook his head "we did have them develop some weaponry for us but they mainly work for the commonwealth. So you can see why this is suspicion." I nod "do you think it's a trap?" He shrugged "we cannot be sure that's why I'm asking you to be my bodyguard for this." I was shocked "why me?" He sighs "Lieutenant Miller seems to trust you and I know you can handle yourself in a firefight. Will you do this?" I nod and he sighs in relief. "Good now get armed and I'll see your at the helipad in about Ten minutes." I left to fetch my equipment.

This time the quartermaster only gave me a submachine gun and a pistol. After that I headed to the helipad.

I court sight of LT Taylor arguing with what seemed to be two special forces soldiers. I decided to stay out of sight and listen to what they are arguing over. “for the last time Lieutenant just hand us the weapons.” one of the soldiers said clearly aggravated. “over my dead body you fucking lapdogs!” the LT shouted. “we have be ordered to confiscate than by the major.” the other solder huffed. “fuck that spineless asshole if he wants them so badly he can fetch them himself.” the LT looked like he was about to attack them so I decided to get involved. “what's going on here?” I ask as I approached “stay out of this sergeant.” he all yelled. I got into the helicopter and sat next to the pilot. We watched as they argued for about half an hour longer before the soldiers gave up and we could finally leave.

We flew to a park within the city. It was very open wich made me think this might be an ambush but once we landed I realised the only people watching us was a few civilians. I turned to LT Taylor “where are they?” he shrugged “maybe we are early.” we waited for Wartec representatives to arrive. We was about to leave when a cazador landed and our contacts and their security team approached us. “greetings. Lieutenant Taylor I presume.”
