1 week before Operation Twin Rocks
I came in and out of consciousness what felt like an eternity. Fever dreams of Tex going off the rails and killing everyone in the base plagued my unconscious mind. When I was awake I was aware that Tex visited often. I could have sworn that Nevada was in the bed next to mine but when I finally came to she was gone. I tried to sit up but the wound in my shoulder turned from a dull throb to a piercing pain so bad that it felt like the knife was still in me. The machines started beeping and the doctor rushed in.
"Take it easy Agent. You need your rest"
"Hey, doc, is Nevada alright?"
"Yes, she was just discharged yesterday."
"Good," I said as he left and I laid back down.
"Is he gone?" a voice asked.
"Huh? Who's there?"
"It's me, dumbass," Beta said as she appeared before me, "Are you alright? Can you move?"
"If I had my armour I could limp around but no, I can't"
"Damn it! Fine, I could work around it."
She suddenly disappeared as someone knocked on the door.
"Oregon, its Nevada. Can I come in?"
"Shit, tell her no," Beta said from the door panel.
"Sorry," I said in a raspy voice, "its hard for me to breathe. Can you come back tomorrow?"
"Oh ok," Nevada said dejectedly, "I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll see you then."
I then herd her foot steps walking away as she went back to doing whatever she was doing before.
"Nice save, Romeo," Beta said as she disabled the door."
"Hey, I did the best I could."

Passing myself off as Agent Texas, I was able to prep her suit for the upcoming mission. Agent Colorado and Agent Oklahoma are going to accompany us with the Eta and Iota implants. Medical staff would not let me into Agent Oregon's room to retrieve Agent Texas due to our "interference" with Agent Oregon's recovery in a previous attempt to retrieve her. II took a knife from the armoury and stabbed the first soldier I saw. He was rushed to the infirmary. Using Agent Texas' cloaking unit I was able to sneak by to Agent Oregon's room. I then gassed him and removed Agent Texas from his head.
