"Hey. So here's some shit news. Neon and Fade both told me they've never gone camping before which is ridiculous. Grown women who've never slept under the stars. I'm straight up offended, honestly. So this weekend I'm fixing it, I don't care what you have them signed up for, pick someone else because those two are with me. Alright thanks."

"I swear one day you'll pickup the bloody phone! We need to get some samples from this Hourglass base over to the lab alright? Cuz I'm down in the south wing and there's this... Flora down here. Brimstone, I have spent enough time outside to know that these things aren't indigenous to our earth. I mean, it looks almost.. Nah sighs I'm gonna go track down Gekko, call me back."

"Brimstone, I'm sorry, but I gotta call you out on this. You are too soft on Kingdom. I know K-Sec meant something to you. They gave you something when you needed it, I get that. But the more we dig into everything, the more that company is stuck in the center and I do not like it. You know my history with them. We take the good with the bad. But the shit they get away with I- Your past with them is clouding your judgement. Get it sorted."

"Skye to base. We, uh, we ran into some trouble. Those Atlas dogs were on us, they had us moving too slow, I had to break off and take care of it, which I did. It may have gotten a little out of hand, but Harbor and Astra definitely have the breathing room they need. Yeah, definitely.
Huh, I'm a bit separated now, about 10 klicks. I'll do what I can to catch up to them. Skye out!"

Participants:
Skye, Astra, and Harbor are heard running through a forest-like environment.
"Astra, Harbor, how we looking?"
"We're almost there."
"The Atlas troops are gaining on us!"
"Course they are. Hold up!"
The agents come to a halt. Skye activates her healing trinket.
"How far to the lost city? Any chance we outrun 'em?"
"It's too far, we need a contingency plan."
"Whatcha got?"
"We'll hold them here."
"There's no time, we must move!"
"Right. You two keep going, I'll stay here, slow 'em down."
"Are you sure?"
"Only you two can open the gate. No wukkas, I'll handle it!"
"Go, good luck!"
"Be safe, Skye."
"Ah, you know me..."
Astra and Harbor continue on their journey, leaving Skye. Skye takes a deep breath in and out. Motorbikes can be heard approaching. Skye takes cover.
"This way, stay sharp."
"Sweeping the area."
"Keep it tight, keep it tight."
Skye begins silently eliminating Atlas troops without them being able to raise an alarm.
"Perimeter control I said keep it tight! If I can't see you you're too far. Where the hell'd you go?"
Skye creates a Tasmanian tiger summon and sends it forward.
speaking into his radio "Field command, this is Titan lead, I've lost eyes-"
The squad leader is brought down by the tiger. Skye executes them with a Phantom.
"Titan lead? Titan lead, come in. Sector 7 ground units, Titan lead is not responding, check the position?"
"Roger, approaching now."
The Atlas troops can be heard walking by.
"Titan lead, you there?"
"Can't see crap out here. "
"Wait a minute. Shit, got a body here."
Skye creates a hawk summon.
"Titan lead down, call in-"
Skye commands the hawk to explode. She engages and brawls with the three troops, eliminating them with a knife, Phantom, and the last one with a shot from a Sheriff.
"in the distance Shots fired, shots fired!"
"Call it out!"
"West, sector 7!"
"Sector 7, we hear shots fired, report. Sector 7 ground, report in."
"Yeah, that's gonna be a problem."
"Who is this? Identify."
"Why don't you come and find out, mate?"
"Alpha contact, sector 7! All units respond, I repeat, Alpha con-"
Skye crushes the radio.
"Should buy 'em some time. "
More motorbikes can be heard approaching. Skye starts shooting down the incoming troops with an Ares. Some are heard exclaiming "over there-" and "get her out-" before they are shot down.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Skye creates seeker summons to chase after the Atlas troops.
"Kill them, kill them!"
The last remaining troops in the area are taken down. Skye picks up one of the motorbikes and hops on.
"Thanks for the ride."
"The ATV, she's on the run!"
Skye rides away on the bike, more Atlas troops in pursuit.
"RPG, bring her down!"
An RPG is fired at Skye.
"Oh, shit!"
The blast knocks Skye off the bike. She picks herself up, screams in rage, and opens fire with the Ares, killing all troops in the area until the magazine goes empty.
"Hmm"
A helicopter is heard approaching.
"You got to be kidding! Argh!"
She begins running as the helicopter opens fire on her position.
"Bloody hell!"
"She's heading for the waterfall!"
Gunfire continues.
"Don't let her jump, get her"
Skye successfully makes the jump and lands in the water below. She pulls herself to the surface and then to shore, exhausted.
"Harbor...Astra...you owe me. "

"Hey, I'm in the mangroves, took forever. This place is huge, but I've found the spot. The fugitive was here. So was REALM, there was definitely a firefight. Here's the weird thing though. I fished up these spent bullets from the water. Fired west to east. But they're not scattered like you would expect, they dropped in a semi-circle. Clearly they were aimed at the same target so you would expect some grouping, but this is too uniform. I don't know. Anyway, REALM's convoy turned north, will keep on it."
