Massive Attack!

The automated train carrying Sergeant Michael "Psycho" Sykes and a container filled with one of the alien-like machines (which had emerged from inside a rock mountain on the island) came to a stop in the middle of the swamps. JSOC confirmed the stop was not a scheduled stop and it appears that the stop was not expected by anyone - including the Korean People's Army (KPA).


The container appeared to glow in the swampy skies a bright blue color. JSOC indicated activity was rising on their meters surrounding the area. Most likely, more of those machines were heading in this direction. Time for a massive attack, Psycho thought.




With the crate glowing, several of the smaller machines raced toward the area first. They appeared to be focused on the crate - potentially wanting to either free the machine inside the crate or destroy it from falling into human hands. The machines were surprised when Psycho came after them with his Gauss rifle - knocking them down with one shot and destroying them completely with a second.



Then, the bigger machines came to play. The Gauss rifle could not take down these machines quickly enough, so Psycho grabbed a nearby Minigun. With a magazine capacity of 500, the Minigun was able to take down the bigger machines far easier than the other weapons at Psycho's disposal.




After the first machine was destroyed, the second one came at Psycho with vengeance. Certainly these machines did not understand feelings ... or did they? Psycho ran out of ammo from the Mini gun before he was able to fully take down the machine, but quick use of the Gauss rifle finished the job. Psycho had a front row seat to watch this machine explode.



With the machines cleared, the massive attack was over. Psycho planned to check the machines for further intel on their design, but the train again started moving.

After much convincing, JSOC allowed O'Neill to assist with the mission. The crate could not fall into the hands of the Korean People's Army (KPA). O'Neill was in route with a VTOL that had the capability to extract the crate from the train.

If worse came to worse, the crate needed to be destroyed using the explosives Psycho maintained on the back of his Nanosuit. The orders were simply to plant the C4 explosives, arm them, get far away and then detonate. The KPA were not to get that container.



Then the train stopped over a bridge of water. In the distance, Psycho could hear an air craft approaching. It was a helicopter, but it was not a VTOL.

Sounds like the KPA were coming to get their prize.
