Me, Julio, Sanchez and Juliana were on guard duty, posted atop the northern watchtower. It was raining today and most troops have been sent to the frontline or to a international training exercise, but i am not sure about that. Anyways we were just about 100 Troopers and Trooper Supremos and at max 20 Elites. Our base commander, Colonel Rodrigo was distracted with the inspection of the barracks when Sanchez suddenly collapsed next to us and fell of the watchtower. The alarm immediately went off and we radiod that we were under fire by snipers and machine gunners. We counted at least 20 machine gunners and 5 snipers, just over the hill up north. They only seemed to target us in the watchtower. Reason is still unknown. We hid behind cover as best as we could but these rebels managed to get their hands on some Defenders and they slowly but surely melted away the concrete that was our only cover. After about 5 minutes we decided that we'd risk the run towards the small management building which was about 20 meters away from the watchtower. Julio was our radio operator and even me, standing about 2 meters away from him could hear the yelling of orders in his radio. We got the order that all remaining units have to retreat to Building A1. Unfortunately this was on the other side of the base but an order is an order. We managed to leave the watchtower and ran towards our first cover, some small boxes standing on a truck. Machine gun and sniper fire hit the ground left and right of us but we could only keep running. I heard a scream and turned around, only to see Juliana bleeding out of her leg. We left our first aid kit in the watchtower so we could not help her. She said that she would give us cover fire so we could run across the last big gap and we could only agree. So i gave her my K6 Rifle since she lost her rifle when she fell. Me and Julio ran as fast as we could and somehow we managed to run across without getting hit. We now had some cover so we used this opportunity to rest for a minute and Julio radioed for orders. The active order was still to reach the building A1 so we continued on. Before we started to run, I looked around the corner again and saw Juliana, perforated with holes like a sieve, lying lifeless on the floor. She was holding a photo with a note on top. While still under fire we saw some rebel vehicles on the southern bridge. We counted 2 Parajas and 1 Tekera 1, all full with soldiers. The bridge was already heavily damaged so Julio took out his rocket launcher and shot at the last pilar holding the bridge. With explosions and loud screams the bridge collapsed into the water, burying the rebels unter tons of concrete debris. Our destination was now only 25 meters away. We prepared for the last sprint. Julio looked around the corner infront of him, only to get his head exploded via a Shotgun, carried by a heavy rebel. I immediately jumped around the corner and eliminated the two rebels. I sprinted towards building A1 and opened the door. I saw many soldiers firing out of the windows and treating the wounded. A helicopter was ordered to evacuate us. I do not know if i am allowed to write this down, but as i opened the door, i just realized that Julio, Sanchez and Juliana were gone. I have been friends with them since we enlisted and finished boot camp. And now it is just me. We ended up evacuating the base with two helicopters. We have abbondoned the base and are now heading to Prospero Aerospacial.
