Ruin: "You think that's impressive? There was this one time when me and Baker..."
Battery: "Not this again, come on Walsh."
Ruin: "What, you want to tell it?"
Battery: "Nah, the way you do, it gets better every time."
Ruin: "Right? Anyway, so there was this one time..."
Battery: "He's full of it though, keep that in mind."
Ruin: "It was bad, no idea who authorized the attack, but it was an utter Charlie Foxtrot. Intel had told us the area was clear and our target was two klicks ahead, so we moved out. Encountered a couple of patrols on the way, no biggie, we had that covered, then we got a call over the comms..."
Battery: "D.E.A.D. systems were down."
Ruin: "Right, We looked at each other and realised we had 30 seconds before incoming AP turned us into mist, so we hustled quick..."
Battery: "Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah, Anti-Personnel was the least of our problems, enemies were raining major reinforcements behind us."

Ruin: "We were cut off from our own side at this point. Only way we could go is forward."
Battery: "Enemy had found our kills, and SIGINT told us there were some SERIOUS heat coming our way. We knew there was a hardened CDP emplacement about a klick away so we booked it, figuring it was a defensible place to hold up in, even if we had to take it first."
Ruin: "We approached the bunker, no sign of resistance. Stacked up on the door and breached, checked our corners, first room, clear. And in a corner, body on the ground, split gut to gullet. Room looked like a slaughterhouse!"
Battery: "Next room, same story. TWO EKIA, walls and ceiling painted with their blood. Didn't look like they got off a shot."
Ruin: "We approached the door to "ops", listened, nothing. Gave Baker the signal to kick it in and we burst into the room."
Battery: "Five bodies, four filets, one very much alive. "Spectre", this covert ops creep, wasn't happy to see us either."
Ruin: "Didn't need to be able to see an expression to know we could get taken out in a heartbeat."

Ruin: ""Spectre" creeps me out. Just sitting there surrounded by corpses, checking intel, and cleanin' those blades. Asked what were doing here. Calm as anything."
Battery: "Calm lasted about three seconds when we said we had company coming in behind us."
Ruin: "Said if we'd blown the mission we'd be kissin' our internal organs goodbye. Yeah, exact turn of phrase."
Battery: "I think you got called "sugar" at one point."
Ruin: "Yeah? Anyway, internal screens are showing that we're surrounded. Thirty men at least with GI Unit support."
Battery: "We moved fast, with frags and trip wires in the first room and corridor, and set up for a siege."
Ruin: "We just finished diggin' in, when WHAM!!! First trip wire goes. Couple seconds later we hear a couple GIs go terminal to the second IED."
Battery: "Which is when I started to pulling the trigger on my War Machine, and didn't let up until it ran dry."

Ruin: "Things were lookin' pretty bad. CDP had reinforced. We were runnin' low on ammo."
Battery: "And "Spectre" was still considering cutting our throats."
Ruin: "When I noticed some movement on the screen showing an external cam feed..."
Battery: "Couple of seconds later, we start hearing explosions outside. CDP start running around, trying to...defend themselves against attack from behind."
Ruin: "Couple of 'em went down to nano swarms. Nasty! Cavalry couldn't have arrived at a better moment. Doubt we would've lasted a couple of minutes."
Battery: "Castillo and Rojas. Could've kissed them."
Ruin: "Last couple of CDP to try to take refuge in the bunker with us fell to "Spectre". Who bugged out before Nomad and Outrider made it to us. Four of us RTB PDQ."
Battery: (laughing) "Alright Walsh, it's your round. Get buyin'."

??: (clearing throat) "Based on the requirements layed out at the start of this procurement process, I'm certain that the intelligence gathered in the dossiers in front of you will lead you to conclude that the eight referenced individuals will be the best subjects for your program. Further, I believe that the plant you specified be placed amongst them will independently verify my findings. As instructed, the intelligence was gathered covertly, using a number of measures-"

??: "Yes, sir, I state my reputation."
?? 2: "There's more at stake here than your reputation."
??: "Sir, yes sir."
?? 2: "Very well. Leave us. We were never here. We have never spoken."
