John's POV:

I woke up after some time, grunting in pain. Blackburn did the same as well. We then saw in front of us, what appeared to be Solomon and a PLR insurgent helping a wounded Marine? I'm not too sure sine everything was still so groggy.

Solomon: -I'll let you choose.

Wounded Marine: Choose? Choose what?

Solomon: Oh, come on.

Solomon then points a pistol at the wounded Marine.

Solomon: Live, or die? Live or die mister?

He then shouts in Persian to drag the Marine out, hearing the sounds of pain from that Marine.

Me: And we couldn't save him. Damn if only that earthquake didn't happen, we would be out alive now.

I then turn back to Blackburn.

Me: C'mon Black, let's push this rubble off of us.

Blackburn (still groggy): Rog'

We begin to push the rubble that almost buried us alive.

Blackburn: It's a miracle how we're still even alive.

Me: You can say that alright, Black. Just keep pushing the rubble out.

Meanwhile while we were pushing the rubble off of us, the radio came back to life.

Radio: All units this net. Be advised a catastrophic earthquake event in Iran - is affecting all operational capability in the Iran-Iraq region. This net will be delivering updates as they become available.

Once the radio man was done talking, we had pushed all the rubble off and we slowly got back on our feet.

Me (still feeling pain): You alright?

Black (also feeling some pain): Yeah (stands up) I think I'm good, I guess.

I then look around to see my M4 still next to me, while Blackburn's M4 was still missing.

Me: Looks like your rifle is missing. Here, take mine.

I then give my M4 to Blackburn.

Me: Use that as a safety measure later. Right now, silent kills only. Our mission fails if we don't do it silently, got it?

Blackburn: Roger sir.

We then begin to move through the ruins, seeing multiple PLR insurgents above us and Hornet 5-0's heli wrecked in front of us. As we pass by, we here PLR tannoy sound up with calls of help, but I knew that they were lies.

PLR Tannoy: Come out in the open. Hiding will be seen as an act of aggression. The PLR is reaching out with catastrophe help to all American soldiers.

Spotlights as fill the area, looking to see if there were Marines like us in hiding, but we managed to stay clear of it. We continue our route away from the place we almost got buried, pasting by a car that was in flames and more rubble surrounding it.
