[Army] Operation: From Bad to Worse

The 'cleat' code was a good motion and she would be glad to move forward. At this point, Nora wanted the job to be done. This, however, did not mean that she would slack. It appeared that they were ready to move on to the next part of their mission, this would be to check out some warehouses that were possibly storing weapons. If this were the case, they would most likely be heavily guarded.

It was easy to listen as Artemis called in and as Pryor responded. She took a mental note that green smoke was danger and red smoke would be friendly locations. This seemed to be the opposite of what one would expect.

Nora nodded that she understood and then turned to her men. "All right men, you heard the Brigadier General. Time to move out."

Alice waited for a while, expecting the other sniper to eventually find her. After a short while of impatient waiting, she slipped out of her cover, well aware it might kill her if he was still there but she was ready to take chances.
She finally came to a conclusion that he must have retreated. But no time to celebrate, she still had a task at hand and decided to go alone.
Alice cautiously made her way to the warehouse, her rifle pointed and loaded the whole time. She examined the place first finding not a soul around the place.
Next thing to do was check inside. Taking in a deep breath, she made her way to the entrance.

Brigadier General Thomas Pryor

General Pryor stepped in the lead Humvee, keeping his M4 propped over his shoulder as he told the driver directions to the warehouse. It wasn’t far off and it wouldn’t be long before they would arrive. On the way there he saw that every so often there was red and green smoke shortly followed by small explosions, he knew that they had won, for the moment at least. On the way there had been zero enemy contact, which Pryor always thought was a good sign, and he was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Once the Humvee’s came to a screeching halt Pryor stepped out followed by his men, he could see that Alice was inside the building.




~Artyom’s Location~

As the men rushed up a smoke grenade was tossed down the stairway, the phosphorus sticking to the men like glue causing an extreme amount of pain. Most of the men seeing these explosions and burnings dropped their AKs and began running, them now seeing that if they continued it would be certain death, while only seven now remained, and once they were able to figure out where they were going through the smoke and confusion they began to run up the stairs again, avoiding the phosphorus, only to find out there was another trap, killing two more men and injuring a third. The last four, once on top of the building realized that the man wasn’t even there, now their hope was lost as they joined their comrades and left the remains of the buildings leaving their AKs.

~Alice’s location~

Inside of the warehouse there were no enemy soldiers, there are some old industrial sized lights waving on the ceiling as the wind blows through some of the broken windows. You can see empty crates stacked upon shelves, beyond that there was a lone computer sitting on an old table, the screen beside the tower, it looks ancient. The computer is turned off and around it are scattered CD disks. Under the table is a slightly noticeable generator that being what powers the computer. On the side of the computer there are some Russian letters.

Alice lowered her weapon on finding nothing to be alarmed about. Thanks to the broken panes, rays of light kept the place from looking dark and excess gloomy.
As per what she was told and out of curiosity, the girl began to explore the warehouse, peering into the empty crates and accidentally dropping a few. She was a klutz indeed. After letting a sigh of disappointment on not finding what she was sent for, her attention was grabbed by that antique piece computer and the CD's. A smile filled with the expressions of mockery curled up her lips.
"Which century do these people live in?" she chuckled to herself, examining the old piece of junk which seemed like it hasn't been used in ages.
She bent down and switched on the generator under the table,which happened to be working, before taking a look at the CD's for scratches then at the letters.

Artyom stopped once he seen a Humvee that was parked outside of what looks like a storage place but he was more happy to see the DLCC Humvee then anything right now "Comrades!!!" he the yelled as he ran to the parked Humvee.He then looked over to see Pryor "Well this mission has been fun to me at least what about you" he said to him as he looked at his AK-108 and then a got a angred look on his face "they gave Sasha a scratch"he then said as he looked back up a pryor hoping for good news.

The ride to the next location did not take long at all and she sat there simply, taking it in. Nora was glad that the move was going smoothly and that they were not currently being trampled by rebels. It did not take long before they were stopping. General Pryor stepped out first and the others were soon to follow, including Nora.

As she stepped out, Nora looked over the building. The bit of concentration and focus that was on accessing the building moved now as she heard a familiar voice. Nora looked to see Colonel Artyom approaching them. And here she had thought that he was resting up at camp after their tanks had been attacked previously.

Brigadier General Thomas Pryor

Thomas looked over to see his XO, Artyom, walking over to his location.


“The day started out bad but now it’s going great, we have the Air and from the looks of things the rebels are falling back. And don’t worry about Sasha we can get her fixed up when we get home.”


Thomas then motioned them to walk into the building, and by the time he reached the door he could hear the soft hum of a generator. Thomas opened the door and he noticed Alice was standing by what looked like a computer.





~Alice’s location~

As the generator was turned on the computer began to make clattering sounds as it started to turn on, the power switch was already flipped to on, the computer started to load and all of it was in Russian. There was no writing on the CD, and all of them seemed to be intact and without a scratch.

Alice peered over her shoulder to see the source of light chatter noticing the General and the others making their way inside. She was planning on greeting them but the letters and the antique computer were just too interesting to leave alone, hence deciding to do all the formalities once they came closer.
With a light brush of her hair, she bent down to the monitor to see what it displayed and soon pulled away realizing it was in Russian. A language which she lacked basic knowledge about.
Since the CD seemed usable, she looked for the disc reader so she could insert it in.

(That's okay, I always give short posts~)

Artyom entered the building with the rest of the group and once inside he walked over to the computer "Hey comrade Pyror you might want to see this weapon details and reports from who gave them what and were they came from" he said as he looked at Alice "That might have more details or even meet up points on it to get the weapons or payment wise info never know.

It was easy to smile at the mention of repairing Sasha. Of course Artyom was worried about his equipment. She followed with Artyom and the others as Pryor motioned for the group to move forward and into the building. It was nice to see Alice and Nora wondered what the girl was looking at. She seemed to be very interested in the computer. It must have been holding some files of interest to them.

Artyom was able to read the files and as it turned out, the warehouse did not house weapons but it housed weapon records. This was an interesting turn about.

Brigadier General Thomas Pryor

Thomas walked over to the computer, and while keeping his eyes on the computer he told three of the men that followed him in to guard the entrance. Once he reached the computer he looked over at Alice, who looked like she was trying to find a slot for the CD.

“Excuse me, but I would like to look at this computer.”

He said calmly and politely, as he took the mouse and clicked on one of the folder icons that read in Russian “Shipment Details” and as soon as he clicked it, a spreadsheet came up that contained details about weapons, missiles, rockets, artillery pieces. It gave records showing prices and next shipment locations, but when Thomas scrolled to the top, he saw that it read 1990. These weapons were placed here during the cold war and didn’t make it to their next destination before the collapse of the Soviet Union. And to clear the air for the men and women who didn’t speak Russian he would clear the air.

“There were weapons here, I don’t know if it was recently or a while ago but they were from the cold war… Was there anyone outside the building when you got here Alice?”

He asked, this could mean a lot to what had actually happened here.





~Outskirts of the City~

The sniper with the wounded arm (We shall call him Doran) was running to a small hut on the outside of the city. He remembered that this hut was a notable landmark close to the extraction point, and from there Doran headed west, to a side road that leads out of the city. Once he reached the small clearing he saw that he was the last one out what was left of their platoon to reach the location. He noticed a lot of crates all of the of various sizes, they had been transported out of the city, from the warehouse that he was guarding, while all the fighting had been going on, taking away attention from the truck. From his eyes they had lost about ten of the original fifty. He then ran to the group where they were huddled in silence near an old black car, where shortly their leader stepped out, the man with the Metallic mask. He then started giving orders, to wait and they would be picked up by some old military cargo trucks and that they would have to guard the equipment they had retrieved. And almost as if the man with the mask was psychic the trucks arrived as soon as he finished his words the trucks lights were turned off so they would be less likely to be noticed. Doran began helping the men load the trucks with the crates as the man with the mask walked up to the front truck and took out a suite case and placed it inside of the car, and as soon as the door was shut it sped off as fast as it could move.

Artyom looked at the computer with Pryor "1990 another year and the union was gone for good this was when the cold war ended comrade pyror but by this time the dissolution of the union had started the weapons were most likely stored here just in case of a war units could restock here"he said as he looked at Pryor and then back to the screen "but for them to stay here all this time is unlikely unless the people in the town were stupider then i though" he then added as he looked back at the screen.

Alice quickly stepped aside when asked to, peering over the General's shoulder to catch a glimpse of what was being displayed but soon stopped even trying.
She glanced up at the General on being asked a question and started off with a simple nod.
"Yes sir, a sniper was stationed somewhere near by to guard this place." she said with her arms crossed behind her.

Nora followed and looked on at the screen but of course she did not know Russian. She had picked up a couple of words from Artyom but she did not have the ability to read it. When she realized she would be no help, Nora backed off and allowed Artyom and Pryor to finish looking over the records.

It was a surprise to hear that there had been weapons from the cold war stored here. She looked around now. If these weapons were moved recently than surely there would be signs.

Brigadier General Thomas Pryor

Pryor took in all of the information that had just been given to him. There had been a sniper at the location so he had only one more question for the private.

“Did you kill him, or did he get away?”

He then thought about what Artyom said about the people. He would have to talk to the leaders of this city before he could fill out his full report. Some of this was seemed odd, reports of trained soldiers in the area meant something bigger was going on than just a riot.
