TRANSMISSION INITIATED
------------------------------------------
Steel: FU**! FU** IT ALL TO HELL!
Violet: My god.
Crimson: Well this was a sh** idea.
Scarlet: I can’t reach command, they must have moved out.
Ash: Or they’re dead.
Scarlet: No they can’t be. Command’s not stupid.
[Distant explosion]
Steel: Well it sure looks like it. The entire western coast is fried. I don’t see anything that’s not burning.
Crimson: I can’t tell if it’s nighttime already, or if it’s just too much smoke.
Ash: I can’t get any signs of life on my bioscans, that side is toast, sir.
Crimson: Well what do we do now? How can we ever relay our message to the world?
Scarlet: Shut up I’m thinking.
Steel: Check ammo and gear, we’re going to have to find a broadcast station.
Scarlet: We’ll have to hope that they’re still operational.
Steel: Well I can pretty much guarantee it is.
Violet: How can you say that?
Steel: Cause if it isn’t we’re screwed.
[Static]
Crimson: I see it; the antenna looks a bit broke, but it’ll probably send out a strong enough signal.
Scarlet: Hold on, I see movement from within.
Ash: Friendlies?
Steel: Doubt it. I’ll go first. Any signs of life, you eliminate it.
[Fading footsteps]
Steel: It’s clear, come on.
[Rushing footsteps]
Steel: Be quiet.
[A door squeaks and muffled echoes of footsteps]
Violet: Clear.
Ash: Clear.
Scarlet: Clear.
Crimson: I don’t get it, why would-
[Deafening Screech followed by rapid gunfire]
Crimson: AH SH**! WHAT THE F***! IT’S GOT ME!
Scarlet: SH**! WATCH IT! STEEL!
Steel: NO! GET DOWN!
Crimson: AAARGH I NEED-
Violet: SHOOT IT IN THE GUT! IN THE GUT!
Ash: I CAN’T GET A SHOT!
Crimson: MOTHER FU**ER!
[A loud crash]
Crimson: PUSH IT IN!
Steel: CLOSE IT! CLOSE THE DOOR! ASH GET A FRAG IN THERE!
Ash: FRAG OUT!
Scarlet: GET DOWN!
[Explosion and shattering glass]
Crimson: Is it dead?
Steel: Hold on, I hear it moving still.
[Three reverberating gunshots]
Steel: Goodnight.
Scarlet: Ok, Violet, go with Ash and find that radio broadcast. We’ll make sure nothing bothers us while you’re working.
Steel: How are you doing on ammo?
Crimson: I’ve got three mags left. If we’re going to run like this, we’re not going to get far.
Scarlet: Roger that, I have a couple left as well. Violet what’s the sit rep?
Violet: This hardware is ancient, the civilians really need to step up the game. It’s not 2020 anymore. They’re still running on terabyte bullsh**.
Ash: [Scoff] Only 128 gigs of RAM?
Violet: Shh, I’m getting something! Queen do you copy, this is Violet, over!
[Static]
Violet: Queen this is Violet, do you copy!
[Static]
Ash: Sh**.
Queen: Violet- th- is Queen, we co- do you ha- the -ckage?
Violet: Scarlet we have something! Queen where have you been relocated? We brought the package to extraction site Bravo but it was wiped out.
Queen: The milita- -ot wiped ou- we couldn’t do -nything fo- them. The new ral- point is in -istrict 23 grid A20. Sta- safe.
Violet: You got all that Scarlet?
Scarlet: Acknowledged. We have movement outside. Get back here now.
Ash: You go ahead, I’ll catch up.
Steel: Ash what are you doing!
Ash: Just give me a sec.
Crimson: They’re heading this way, want me to chuck a frag?
Ash: Almost done.
Violet: What the hell.
Ash: Got it!
Crimson: Sh** That’s bright!
Ash: GO GO GO! Let’s get the f*** out of here before they can see again!
[Door kicked open followed by running footsteps. Distant screeching]
Steel: Save that frag Crimson!
[Heavy breathing and distant gunfire]
Scarlet: Looks like they’re bringing the broadcast station down. Good thinking Ash.
Ash: Well, I’m down to one mag, I have a f***ed up foot, I’m pretty much f***ed.
Crimson: Don’t talk like that man, you’re scaring me.
Steel: Cut the chatter, our new extraction point is five klicks from here. We have no idea how long they’ll hold out, so we’re gonna have to move fa- SH**!
Unknown 1: Whoa whoa whoa! Hold on!
Ash: Civilians.
Unknown 2: Are you military? Please you have to help!
Crimson: I’m sorry we can’t take civilians.
Unknown 1: The hell are you talking about? I thought the military was going to help evacuate this place!
Steel: You’re not even supposed to see us. You’re I didn’t kill you on sight.
Scarlet: Steel! Here’s the deal. We never saw you, you never saw us. The nearest military outpost is 5 kilometers from here. You follow us, you might get there alive. After that, you don’t see us again. Understood?
Unknown 1: Um, Okay?
Violet: We’re not supposed to do this. If Queen finds out-
Scarlet: Queen’s not here right now.
Crimson: Queen will always-
Scarlet: HEY I will not have insubordinate men under me! You have two choices, either you can follow my command, or you can go to hell.
Unknown 2: Thanks-
Scarlet: Shut up. Come on, we have five kilometers to go. I can guarantee you we’ll get discovered, and they’re pretty good at picking off stragglers.
Ash: Uh Scarlet.
Scarlet: What?
Ash: We should go.
Steel: What the hell is that thing?
[Faint sound of an engine starting up; getting louder]
Violet: [Whispering] Wow.
[Something shoots by above]
Crimson: Sh**, they can fly!
Steel: Scarlet you sure about this plan?
Scarlet: No, but when was the last time you were sure about anything?
Steel: Good deal. Let’s move men, asses aren’t going to kick themselves.
[Distant gunfire erupts]
Scarlet: It’s started again.
