The Thing POV
As I was about to enter a white mask base for some intel of where they could strike again, I was probably around 300 meters away with a pair of binoculars to spy on how much mask were protecting the area and were I can go in the easiest without alerting them. I saw about two mask protecting the entrance of the base, I saw one go back into the base, as he asked about a thing before the one went back in, I saw my opportunity to enter the base all I really have to do was to kill the only one then enter to kill the rest for some intel. Before I snuck up on him, I activated my device, let me give a description of what my device does, so what it does is that it pretty much makes me dead silent and makes any gunshot I fire or any noise in a certain range of its radius dead silent and if they have coms, it disables it like a emp or jammer so they can't contact anybody so it's perfect for stealth. As I went to sneak up on him, I activated my device and got him in a head lock, as I stabbed him in the knee with the knife. He starts screaming for help while I laughed at him, the mask asked why the fuck am I laughing at him, I looked at him and said " They can't hear you buddy," he tries kicking and me but I don't budge to let him go as I asked for intel, he told me some dude on the 2nd floor has it. That was all I needed to hear before I finished him off with a shot out of my D-50.

As I pulled out my Famas-F1 to take down a bunch of mask with ease, I thought to myself about how they should train them better because they have no idea what the fuck they're doing. I put away my F1 pulled out my katana for the last room I had to clear out before I get that intel, as I activate my device, I should really give it a name honestly, maybe "Blackout Device" might be the name I don't know I'll go with it. I went in without a problem killing 5 mask instantly. As I went to try to find the intel, I saw a mask pop out and he tried to kill me but I took him out with my D-50 not even aiming. While I was downloading the files to a USB, I heard what sounded like a breaching noise, after that the files were done downloading I hauled ass out of before what I thought were white mask reinforcements, as soon as I got out I saw a van with a 6 logo. I was confused as I was thinking if this was a new mask division or a new military task force but i didn't care I had to get out fast as possible.

??? POV
I could not walk through a single hallway without a dead mask on the ground with a bullet wound to the head or a stab wound. I told the rest of my squad mates that there no hostiles after droning out a couple areas and looking around. Then I went into what looks like a sever room with 5 dead mask that had there heads decapitated and one with a .50 caliber pistol round to the head. I was wonder who the fuck did this and I went to the computer and there were some files there could be useful on tracking down the mask. I told my team through the coms that there we got some files and tell Six about it. As I met up with Twitch and I.Q., I told them about what happened and they checked other areas for files or anything that can have data on the mask, I saw Buck walk towards us and and a picture with something very weird and cult like shit. The picture was a wall painted with blood that said the following;

"Messenger of fear in sights"
"Dark deception kills the lights"

I asked Buck what it could mean but all he said was "I don't know Jäger, but it sounds like someone is after the mask and this sounds like a piece of literature or something." I talked to my com to see what Bandit as know as Rainbow's favorite Drug Addict is up to, of course he found some "Sugar" and asked if he can take it back to base. Of course I had to say no because I'm not trying to get fired over here and same with him, I told him to meet up with us at the front entrance. Once we meet up with Bandit we got into the helicopter and we flew back to Hereford.

The Thing POV
Once I saw a helicopter fly over me, I knew it was safe to go back to my house which is about 40 miles away. I felt satisfied about killing those mask because of what they did to my team back in Afghanistan. How the killed my best friend and my friends in front of my own eyes, I was the only survivor and I barely lived and my vocal cords are almost completely destroyed, it takes a lot of effort to talk and it's painful as shit to speak, I tried going to therapy but that didn't help out. Once I got back to my house around 8:00 P.M. I got out of my car and went back inside, I spent the rest of the night taking a shower and cleaning the blood off my weapons. I took a look at a picture of me when I was little, and I said my name right below my picture, Isaiah. Yes that's my name, Isaiah, I think it's a decent name. I went to go look at the intel for where they could strike and I saw something that caught my eye, it says something about a biochemical weapon. I investigated more into it and it is planned on being used at Bartlett University. I began to investigate on it more and I realized about my friend, Robert, who goes there and I called him praying that he answered , once he answered, I told him about this because he know I am after the mask and he thinks I'm joking. I tell him I'm not but he laughs it off and hangs up telling me I'm crazy. I just hope this isn't true because I don't want to get more pissed off than I already am...

Jäger POV
As I entered Six's office to give her the mission report, Six turned her chair towards me and was asking how to the mission go and to show her the intel we got so we can prepare for the next mission. I showed her some of the intel and told her that when we went into the base and every mask was dead and we didn't know who did this. Six thanked me for showing her the intel and how the mission went and I was dismissed.

As I went back to the cafeteria to talk to my 2 homies, Bandit and Blitz, we were talking about random shit like how me and Bandit miss using our ACOGs for simulations but we're happy about using them on missions. Blitz was talking about how it was weird that Valkyrie and Caviera were telling him that him and I.Q. should date and how much of a cute couple they could make. We all laughed about it and continued on before we heard over the announcers that Dokkaebi has to go to Six's office, we thought that she did something again due to her being a troublemaker. Like when she downloaded 50 GB of porn on Thatcher's, Kaid's, and Maestro's phone, and much more. As Bandit went back to making fun of me for liking I.Q. and stuff like that and me jokingly threatening him about me telling Six about his "Plants" and his "Funtime Sugar". Bandit looked at me like he was gonna kill me the I said, "Chill fool I'm joking and I need some weed right now anyway." Bandit gave it to me and we got high as fuck.

Dokkaebi POV

I went to Six's office and I was wondering why, was it because I put a picture of Jäger dressed up as a redneck singing "somebody come get her she dancing like a stripper" on everyone's tv at 3 am last night or what. I went in to to my surprise she isn't mad at me, I asked her what's up and she told me that I need to hack into White Mask databases to find intel on this biochemical weapon that have. I agreed on looking into it and I was looking on to something and it said something about how this chemicals is pretty much mustard gas but more lethal. I ask Smoke about it and he said the gas they are talking about is more lethal than his gas shits, I tell Six about it and I was worried about it for the rest of the night...
