Get to the Airfield

JSOC used their satellite connections to monitor the container after it left Sergeant Michael "Psycho" Sykes and the burning bridge. Fortunately, the weight of the container appeared to be too much for the torque of the Korean People's Army (KPA) helicopter. As a result, the container was dropped off at a nearby airfield. It was now Psycho's main objective to reach that airfield as soon as possible.

On the way, the expectation for KPA resistance was certainly guaranteed. The KPA knew that Psycho was close by, still alive, and very upset following the death of a US Marine while under his watch. Delta Force members were not fond of the death of fellow soldiers. They were extremely not pleased when death occurred in their presence.

The path to the airfield was mostly under the cover of trees and walled by mountains from the island's natural terrain. Getting there would not be a problem, but Psycho wanted to take out any KPA troops ahead of him to avoid a surprise attack. A group of troops stood on top of a rock formation, watching over the area.

Using the submachine gun in single-fire mode with the sniper scope attached, Psycho quickly knocked down the KPA troops standing on the rock. The sound of his gun shots smacking the KPA soldiers directly in the head were not noticed by anyone in range, due to the noise of that huge sphere and the machinery around the airfield.

With a few KPA soldiers now out of commission, Psycho pushed forward toward the destination that contained the mysterious container and one of those alien-like things that have started to invade the island - if not the planet by this point.

Psycho looked at the map in his heads-up display. JSOC had beamed down the image from the sky and the airfield was going to be in range soon.




Psycho did not uncover any more KPA troops along the way. This confirmed his assumption that the sound of the shots were not heard by anyone other than himself and the now un-living KPA soldiers. While inspecting the soldiers, he managed to pick up a sniper rifle and dropped the submachine gun. Certainly, more submachine guns would be available at the airstrip. If not, he could always back-track to this area.

Using the binoculars, Psycho was able to see the entrance to the airfield. It appeared to be heavily guarded. The last thing he wanted to do is try to blast his way through the entrance, alert the KPA that he is on-site, and risk them transporting that container from the airfield.




Psycho noticed another entrance into the airfield. There was a hole in the wall boarding the zone. Large enough for him to slide through, most likely, but small enough to provide cover in the process. However, there was one KPA soldier that had to be taken care of - resting in a watch tower near the make-shift entrance.



A single-shot was all it took and the guard was taken down before he had a chance to react. The noise of the sphere continued to assist Psycho as he managed to continue to be unnoticed by other KPA troops inside the airfield. Time to move toward that entrance.



Psycho managed to slide through the side entrance and now had arrived into the airfield. The area was full of KPA trailers and using cloak mode Psycho was able to move around unnoticed. He did not know what was in the trailers, but he assumed it would be additional ammo, intel and communications gear.

Before moving forward, he needed to find a secure spot to perform some recon over the area. Then, he realized, that watch tower near the entrance might be the perfect spot.

Locate the Container

From the watch tower, Psycho was able to get a perfect view of the airfield and the Korean People's Army (KPA) troops guarding the area. He knew that he would need to take down these troops to have any shot at making it to that container unnoticed. Again, the noise of that huge sphere was providing excellent cover for what Psycho had in mind.

The KPA soldier that was taken out in the watch tower only minutes earlier was also armed with a sniper rifle. So, Psycho was loaded with sniper ammo at this point and the watch tower provided a perfect spot (when in prone mode) to recharge the suit and remain unnoticed at the same time.

So, Psycho enabled cloak mode, focused in on a nearby KPA troop, fired a single shot, then dropped down out of sight to recharge his Nanosuit. He repeated the process over and over. In every case, the soldier fell lifeless to the ground without other KPA troops having a real idea where the shot originated.

Eventually, a couple of troops wondered near the watch tower, but quick shots by Psycho also took them down. Psycho scanned the area and noticed it had been cleared and he had not taken any hits to his health. Certainly, he had to feel as if he were far more like me (Nomad) than himself. As we've always discussed, there is a time to be Psycho and a time not to be Psycho. In those non-Psycho times, one has to be "Nomadian."

JSOC pushed the coordinates of a few munitions storage containers in the airfield. Psycho used that opportunity to exchange his sniper rifle with a new submachine gun. He also made sure he had plenty of rockets in his missile launcher, just in case.

With the area clear he noticed a tunnel that lead him toward a train track and the core section of the airfield. The waypoint indicator showed that the container was in the section ahead. A few KPA troops were taken down as Psycho moved through the tunnel.

Looking back to the sky, Psycho could not help but notice that sphere. The more he looked at that thing, the more he wondered if it would continue to evolve to eclipse the entire island, then the entire planet. He wasn't fond of these visitors.

With cloak mode enabled, Psycho continued to push forward. Up ahead he was acquainted with that mysterious container once again.

This time the container was heavily guarded, not only by three ground-mounted machine guns, but a huge KPA tank. Now more than ever did Psycho wish Strickland and his team of tanks were behind him, because that would make this mission a piece of cake.

Instead, Psycho was alone and he knew that more KPA troops were in the area. Looking up to the sky, he noticed that the KPA had armed the area by air as well.

Things were about to get crazy, as Psycho was about to wage his own personal war against the KPA. Sure, he was totally outnumbered, but he didn't care. That container was his, whether or not Colonel Lee agreed.

Psycho took a few minutes to plan his attack, then said a quick prayer. As I already noted, things were about to get crazy.
