"I need a ship, they went missing fourth miles east. On an uncharted island."
English
-
"I can look it over, I have a ship." I say, turning away "Comms frequency 103.2 FM, I'll be there in not too long"
-
"Wait, I can't accept any help. This is off the books. If we get caught, who knows what could happen?"
-
"I'm a -blam!-ing criminal, last I checked, I'm wanted. I'm helping, so you'll -blam!-ing stay here"
-
"But -" [b]Watcher fell silent, not wanting to say anything [/b]
-
"I'll be back" With that, I walk down the pathway and towards my stashed ship
-
[b]Watcher, observed from a distance. The island really wasn't far, might take a few minutes to get to. But actually scanning it would be a different story, it was rather large [/b]
-
I circle around it, putting on my sniper's suit and grabbing my rifle as the ship uses topograhpical charts, radar, sonar, GPS.....any info it could get.
-
[b]The island was a rather generic one, some Hills and mountains. With a large forest covering most of the island itself. [/b]
-
I set the bird down on the beach, and land in the sand as it takes off again. I used my comms set to make sure you were listening "Check, check, one-two-three"
-
"This is Watcher. You at the island?"
-
"Yeah, starting my probing.....my bird's feed is open, use that will ya?"
-
"Bird feed? Why would I use bird food?" [b]He seemed genuinely confused for a moment [/b]
-
"-blam!- it" I start to enter to forest, rifle at the ready as I climb a tree and traverse the treeline
-
[b]The trees are pretty high up, and gives enough room to see anything below you. But it doesn't seem like anyone came through here [/b]
-
I use the treeline to stay above the ground as I look around for anything, heading deeper in
-
[b]The terrain gets rougher, and it seems like more caves leading down are popping out. Suddenly, a set of armor is seen on the ground, mostly covered by nature [/b]
-
I watch it through my rifle, and upload the scope's feed to the link "You seein' this?"
-
"Is that-" [b]Watcher paused. [/b] "That's one of ours."
-
"it's been here a while. You might want to consider sending actual troops here"
-
"They troops have missing a week, it must be recent... There's no other way."
-
"Hmph. I'm heading deeper" I drop down and enter a cave
-
[b]The cave was dark, and as Alpha went through he tripped on a second body [/b]
-
I hold back a curse....and steel myself. I shiver involuntarily as I enter the cave, and hum a tune that you'd never heard before. It was a mildly comforting tune, but seemed old and sad

Edited by Royal Blade: 1/10/2017 4:06:56 AM"What are you Humming? It's soothing almost." [b]A third guard, a fourth and a fifth were propped up against the wall in a sitting position, all dead. [/b]
-
".....just a memory. There's four dead bodies in here so far, and they're in the same condition as the first" I kneel next to one, looking for anything I could find. Logs, journals, etc.
