Hereford Base; Briefing Room 1

Derek POV

You took off your helmet and placed it on the table as Robert closed and locked the door to the briefing room. You all took off your balaclavas and you motioned for patch to bring up the files onto the screen.

Derek: Alright, we got our asses handed to us.

Demo: Was it that obvious?

Derek: Yes... it was.

You grabbed a tiny remote and clicked the screen to show the multiple news reports on the situation.

Derek: Now the entire world is finding out their are enhanced people who are causing chaos instead of hope. However what we weren't expecting was that, they were bringing hope.

Ashley: What do you mean by that?

You clicked the remote for the next slide and it showed news reports and videos of people supporting the masks.

Derek: America is rioting, Israel and Palestine are at war, and we are here dealing with whitemasks. This was just a simple job before. However, people are now seeing what power the masks have, and are supporting them to bring "equality"

Bulldog: Thats bullshit though, they're fighting to bring world governments down, not for equality.

Derek: Thats why they're supporting them. They think once governments crumble, they will be free to do whatever they want. It's only been a day and crime around the world has skyrocketed by more than 20%.

Patch: We can't be at multiple places at once, so what are we supposed to do?

Derek: Harry has already sent squads out to individual areas to assist law enforcement to try and bring down the crime rate. But we're doing...

You clicked the remote again and it showed the photos of the factory in Moscow.

Derek: We're going to be going here. Back in Moscow, this facility is home to those enhanced, we take it down. No more enhanced for awhile. We need to burn everything to the ground.

Demo: Why not just bomb the place? Will save us time and resources.

Derek: We can't risk anything that'll involve more wars between countries. We can't repeat 3 years ago. If Russia finds out American soldiers are in motherland soil, it will not be pretty. We're still trying to fix the damages back then.

Mickey: What if we brought some Russians with us?

Derek: We could use Timur, Maxim would be good at CQC and also laying out traps.

Bulldog: Lets not forget the big man himself, Alexsandr.

Patch: What do you mean by big man? We're talking about enhanced humans.

Bulldog: The dude can benchpress a literal bench... with Lera, Monika, and Ela on it. That dude is a walking tank.

Demo: His blood also tastes like vodka.

The room went silent as you all turned your attention towards Robert with questionable stares.

Demo: What? Lera told me. They apparently get really kinky in bed.

Derek: I don't even want to picture that.

Mickey: That just sounds like a thick log jamming it's way into the hood of a car.

Bulldog: Dude... stop.

NATO: That poor... poor car.

Derek: guys, lets get back to the task at hand. We need to figure out a plan and take out this facility.

Demo: Right... plan. The plan that we still don't have because we spent the last few hours getting our asses clapped by a group of supersoldiers.

Derek: Hey wise ass, I do have a plan.

Demo: What is it then, you guys gonna punch them once and just pray to God they don't stand back up again?

Mickey: If you let him talk then maybe we'll be able to hear his plan jackass. I also didn't see you getting up multiple times. Your bitch ass got smacked once and then stayed like a complete pussy.

Demo: I got kicked in the spleen aswell, that hurt alot.

Mickey: Derek got slammed into a fucking car and still got up.

You had enough and slammed your fist on the table.

Derek: Enough! You!

You pointed to Robert.

Derek: Quit your bitching. We all got our asses handed to us and we're moving forward, you do the God damn same... And you!

You pointed to Sean.

Derek: Some of us can handle more than others, don't retaliate because that fuels the fire. We're special forces... not a bunch of children! Understand!

Demo & Mickey: Yes sir.

Derek: Good. Patch, go get the Russians.

Patch: On it.

Franklin ran out of the briefing room while everyone stood in silence. Until you finally broke it.

Derek: You can all talk, don't act like you're punished.

Mickey: Oh thank God. I thought I was.

Derek: Sometimes I wonder how Veronica deals with your bullshit.

Mickey: How did your sister go through 21 years with you?

Ashley: To be fair, he was alot nicer before the incident. Then he went full emo.

Derek: I did not go full on emo.

Demo: What did he have? suicidal thoughts, black hair... did this man have a lip piercing?

Ashley: He just went silent, at the orphanage he never spoke to anyone and only talked to me when we were alone.

Demo: HAH, he was the quiet kid in school. Probably had a list.

Derek: I actually didn't. People thought I had a list. Also thought it was scary after they found out I went to a private range every weekend and had precise aim. I started a rumor saying that I was imagining the targets were students I most hated.

Bulldog: Why would you do that?

Derek: I don't know, because fuck em I guess.

The briefing room door opened with Franklin and the Russians entering the room.

Derek: Good you guys just arrived.

Tachanka: We came as soon as we heard about the motherland.

Derek: Ofcourse you did, feel free to take a seat and I'll continue on with the plan.

The Russians took a seat at the table and you clicked the remote to show an overview of the facility on the screen.

Derek: We know how many are on the outside, but not on the inside. With recent Intel, the guards change positions every 5 minutes and speak in a certain code that's hard to decypher.

Kapkan: So, what are we here for again?

Derek: Extra arms, plus we can't step foot in Moscow without them becoming suspicious and causing a fourth world war.

Kapkan: carry on.

Derek: From a recent reconnaissance mission, they actually knew we were there but didnt do anything. They played with our heads and made us think we would have the drop on them.... we dont. They know we're coming and they will be prepared.

Demo: How do we get the drop on them?

NATO: Cloaking technology, The best engineers Rainbow has are currently attempting to make larger versions of Masarus' cloaking technology for his drones. Instead of drones, they'll be cloaking us.

Demo: Did I miss a meeting or something?

Derek: With that being said, after tests have been made and we know that the cloaking tech works. We will have 3 people in sniper positions on this Ridge.

You clicked the remote to enhance the image of the Ridge overlooking the facility.

Derek: This will help give us an advantage since you can see the entire facility. Pick your targets and take them down. The ground team won't be able to see anyone if things go south.

You clicked the remote again to a nearby trail.

Derek: This trail is the only way for transports to move in and out of the facility, its also where reinforcements will come if needed. Maxim, Robert. I want you two to stealthily lay out traps on that trail to help give us more time. Back to the snipers, take out any reinforcements you can that come.

Tachanka: What about the ground team?

Derek: I was just getting to that.

You clicked the remote one last time to the part of the facility with one guard.

Derek: This is our best bet at getting inside. 1 guard. However, we will have to wait for the next position change to give us exactly 5 minutes until they notice. We move into the facility through the staircase, after that happens, we're going in blind.

Kapkan: Going in blind?

Derek: We weren't able to gain information on the inside, just a photo but that was it. We don't know how many are in their and what we're facing. So be prepared.

Glaz: When do we leave?

Derek: We leave June 3rd... any questions?

You scanned the room and everyone stayed silent with a few silently shaking their heads.

Derek: Alright then people, train, rest. And be ready. Because once we're there, there's no turning back. We take out this facility, we take out their hold of power. And if you see one of those enhanced humans... shoot to kill.
