[b]The dojo guards jogged up to us, weapons raised. They slowly lowered them as they saw that there were no more enemies. [/b]
"We're clear guys."

-
Cannon helps Watcher stand up. "Where are the wrest of your platoon?"
-
[i]"Deeper inside. We set up camp to investigate some of the resources when we were attacked." [/i] [b]Watcher looked over at the cover that the guards had been using. Metallic crates, rocks that were sticking out. He spotted five more Dead guards, with eight that were alive speaking to Cannon and Watcher.[/b] [spoiler]Potential Lives Saved: 33/43 Be aware that some are impossible to save. The first five we found for example [/spoiler]
-
"Who attacked you?" He asks, gesturing at the dead attackers.
-
[i]"Don't know much about them sir. Besides that they call themselves 'The Known, Unknown.'[/i] "The Known Unknown? What the?" [i]"I know sir. Sargeant Marker should know more." [/i]
-
Cannon moves to investigate the bodies to see what he can learn.
-
[b]The bodies of the dojo guards were similar to others, bullet holes. The bodies of the unknown had scorch marks, and bullets holes. It seemed old and used. Like a handy me down [/b]
-
"Interesting..." Cannon turns to the head guard. "Can you take us to the others?"
-
[b]He nodded and turned, leading us deeper into the cave. We approached a strange man-made door and he knocked The Door opened and the guard entered, Watcher following inside [/b]
-
Cannon steps in after them.
-
[b]The door leads to a large open space, very well lit up and with several other doorways along the walls. There are crates, sleeping bags, a makeshift machine gun nest along with a closet of sorts, full of weapons In the middle, is a table covered by a map with a man standing over it, looking down at the map. [/b] https://imgur.com/xQTp19X "Sargeant Marker." [b]He looked up, at Watcher and Cannon [/b] [i]"Captains, good to see you two. And boy am I glad that you're here." [/i]
-
"What's the situation, Sergeant?" Cannon asks him, glancing at the map.
-
[i]"The situation is this, we've been trapped down here the last few days. The Unknown as they call themselves have set up barricades at the these doors." [/i] [b]He turned and pointed at two in the back[/b] [i]"So we can't get out that way. The door you guys came through was protected, and weren't able to get out. Now that you've cleared the way, they'll be getting reinforcements over there ASAP. So we're left with two options. This door." [/i] [b]He pointed at one on the right hand wall [/b] [i]"Or this one." [/i] [b]He pointed at a second [/b]
-
Cannon seems to think for a moment. "Do we know what's behind them?"
-
[i]"Not exactly..." [/i]
-
"Great... Then we take the one to the right. Do youvknow where it will lead out?"
-
[i]"Somewhere on the shoreline. A cave." [/i]
-
Cannon nods. "I'll send my ship around to watch it, keep enemy reinforcements out. Maybe call in a few friends to distract them."
-
[i]"Excellent! We'll start packing! Weren't exactly expecting a rescue mission [/i]
-
"Well, consider it a late Christmas present." Cannon taps his comms a few times, signaling his ship to scan for and mark the exit. He then sends another signal put requesting backup. "Alright, my buddies will be here in a few minutes. The quick response teams were still on standby."
-
"Great, can't wait to get out of here. Feels like a death Trap."
-
Cannon nods in agreement. "Allied ETA is fifteen minutes. We should probably start heading out. I'll take point." He moves to the door.
-
[i]"Almost Done." [/i] [b]The guards opened up the armory, grabbing their weaponry and prepared to move out [/b]
-
Cannon covers them as they load up. Overhead a loud rumbling can be heard.
-
[i]"Is that ship?"[/i] "Ay. It is."
-
"Ready to move out?" Cannon asks.
