Victor: Jesus Christ where have you been? I haven't seen you in years!
Nix: I won't lie. I've been dead. Literally.
Victor: Oh.. you okay since then? Y'know.. you kinda blew everything up last time I saw you..
Nix: Uhh yeah.. I lost my arm.. and my powers.
Victor: oh.. shit.
Bailey: So everything's good here?
Victor: Yeah everything's good, come inside we can keep talking in here.

They walk inside the tent. It's full of Cases of Ammunition, Assault rifles, Snipers and Shotguns.

Nix: Hey uhh, Bailey was saying you could probably help me with something.
Victor: Yeah? What can I get ya?
Nix: Uhh.. I heard that you had the Serum-
Victor: Nope. Nope. Absolutely not. No way. That stuff is off limits.
Nix: What!? Come on I can be a valuable asset to the team if I've got my shit back.
Victor: Dude.. in the most respectful way possible, I don't know if I can trust you right now, I mean think about it last time you had that shit you decimated everything!

Nix stood there in silence, he was hoping to get his powers back. But he understands why he doesn't trust him, the day he died.

Victor: Look.. I'm glad you're back, I really am..  especially since we are low on people and The Voidwalker hasn't been seen in days. People think he's dead.. You can fight though right?
Nix: Yeah.. I can fight. Give me ammo and a knife and I'll be fine.
Victor: We can talk about your powers after this whole siege is over.
Nix: Even after 6 years you're still taking charge. And you've got powers now.
Victor: Oh yeah.. the powers.. I found one of The Voidwalkers Vials in Newlatten. I had no idea what it was. I thought it was one of those enhanced stims that lets you get back in the fight. So I kept it. When I used it though.. well.. now I can use Frequency to my advantage?
Nix: Care to demonstrate?
Victor: I'd rather not destroy everything here.. anyways what's with the arm? How'd you get that?
Nix: Oh. You know.. Standard arm being cut off, don't have my abilities therefore couldn't get my arm back, then I died. Woke up in a German lab with a bunch of pe-

Nix looked up. Victor had a gun pointed at him.

Victor: Germans? You mean like the Germans invading us right now?
Nix: uhhhh... yeah..
Victor: You know you're not making a good case for yourself to get your powers back. So if you wanna survive you better start telling me everything you know.

Nix explained his side of his involvement in all of this. Raiding Uluru. Finding Newlatten. Killing Atleast 12 Germans so far. Ending up here.
As victor was about to speak the radio channel started getting louder.

"Hey is anyone seeing what I'm seeing?"
"Uhh what the fuck?!"
"Command this is Watchtower.. The sky is turning red.."
"This is command.. can you repeat what you just said?"
"The sky is turning fucking red"

Victor turns to Nix, giving him a dirty look.

Nix: I don't know fucking anything about this man. What's it gonna take for you to trust me?

Victor slides the pistol over the table. Nix picks it up as Victor begins to walk out of the tent.

Victor: Don't make me regret this.
Nix: uhm.. yeah.. real great at explaining things Victor.. like always.

He walks out of the tent. Victor along with everybody gaze upon the sky. Clouds covered the sky, everything turning red, confused soldiers stood there wondering what to do.
Thunder begins to strike as it starts to rain. The rain became heavier and heavier. Nix put his hand out and felt the rain. It was red. Out of curiosity he smelt it.

Nix: Blood? Oh shit..
Victor: What? What's "Oh shit" meant to mean?
Nix: Get your men armed now!

Nix ran inside the tent grabbing a shotgun. Victor, not knowing what's happening, pulls out his radio and says for everyone to get their guns ready to prepare for an enemy attack, everyone ran to their tents and posts for their weapons.
Victor went inside his tent.
