### **Hunting Sinister**

On the 13th December 2609 Orange was sent to Lyric's service under the assumption that he was to protect a rock from enemy activity in the Great Plains Of Lyric and that a fellow trooper Captain Picquet would arrive to assist him. After guarding the rock for an unknown amount of time Picquet arrived and broadcast the all clear code "BRAVO, ECHO X-RAY" to indicate he was a friendly, after accepting the code Orange met Picquet in the open.

After introducing themselves Picquet asked Orange for information that he supposedly had regarding a terrorist known as Sinister which Orange had no idea about. Picquet believing Orange was joking around soon got annoyed which caused Orange to act more serious in an attempt to make Picquet believe him.

Not long after the pair soon found themselves under fire from Sinister causing them to run to the rock Orange was guarding earlier, after firing back they managed to force Sinister to retreat to a cave system to which they soon gave chase.

Whilst Picquet chased Sinister over a series of pillars above a chasm Orange took a more safer route allowing him to keep up to Sinister and provide cover fire with his SMG. After Picquet was staggered Orange had to engage Sinister on his own and managed to force him to retreat into a hole, however Sinister soon returned in his personal Wasp to kill Orange.

After taking fire and dodging a few attacks Orange was able to use a grenade from his grenade launcher to EMP the Wasp and send it crashing down into the cave network below. Picquet after catching up was annoyed with Orange for letting the target get away and got even more annoyed when Orange referred to Picquet as "My Captain".

Eventually the pair agreed to jump down into the cave network to catch Sinister. After safely landing the pair discovered Sinisters wrecked Wasp but with no body or blood present they began to search the cave network, eventually they found a way to the surface but split up for unknown reasons and planned to regroup soon after.

After Andrew Thomas Moa failed to kill Picquet Orange was put in charge of keeping an eye on both Moa and THE GUIDE but by the time he got to the ruins the pair had disappeared.
