Prophet, my US Special Forces team lead was written off as dead earlier in the mission. He recently jumped into action to rescue me from a situation where I was surrounded by these machine-like things, that others might call aliens. I still have no idea what happened to him, but we have not had much time to talk.
During the battle, Prophet's Nanosuit was hit by one of the machine things. He is having trouble keeping warm. So, now it is my job to protect him. He has switched to his pistol and I have picked up the gun he acquired somehow from our visitors. I also picked up a SCAR and a ton of ammo from the frozen US forces in the area.
I need to escort Prophet out of the sphere, but he can only survive about two minutes in these cold conditions. So, I have to plan way points between the burning fires in the area.
Quickly we moved into a destroyed base and found a spot next to a burning Hummer. A few seconds later, the first of three large machine things arrived to find us. At a distance, it shot a blue pulsating charge toward us. It missed.
I used my new weapon to shoot a tremendous charge into the machine. I saw the body flash red, this had to be a good sign for us. The gun had to recharge, so I changed to my SCAR and shot 41 rounds into the ship hovering above. When it got closer, I changed back to my new weapon and pushed the trigger while keeping the cross-hairs directly at the mid-section of the machine. It exploded into a blue flame!
Before I knew it, two more similar ships moved into the area. There wasn't another flame anywhere close to keep Prophet warm, so we stayed in the area. We continued to dodge the shots by the ships and I used my new weapon and SCAR to take both ships down - just like the initial ship of this size.
We moved out of the area and I found another fire to warm Prophet. I looked into the next area and found a handful of the small machines I had eliminated before. The new weapon made them very easy to destroy. When I checked for more machines, I noticed one last big machine remained near the bridge that appeared to be our destination point.
I took a second to reload my SCAR. This time I placed the ammo from Aztec, Jester and Prophet into my SCAR. I was going to push every round into this machine's body. It was payback time. Even though Prophet was now still alive, he was hurting and that was enough in my book to take an enemy down.
Leaving Prophet near the fire, I charged the area and hid behind a rock. When the ship came over to investigate, I pulled the trigger and sent 41 bullets directly into the ship from underneath. Quickly I reloaded and sent another 41 bullets directly into the ship. Prophet had arrived into the area, so I had to finish this ship off fast. I switched to the new alien-like gun and destroyed the large ship above us. The ship exploded and we found another fire near the route to the bridge. It felt good to use the ammo from my fallen soldiers (and wounded soldier) to take an enemy down. It would not bring Aztec and Jester back, but I am sure they would have done the same for me.
As we warmed up near the fire, the ground began to rumble. The loudest noise of all began to pulsate through the island. When I looked up, I saw one huge ship exiting the mountain.
I had to take a second shot as this machine flew over us.
This machine was huge. This ship would require some massive amounts of ammo to take down. We might even need something of Nuclear proportion.
We need to head toward our next way point before this machine sees us.
Prophet and I will be back in touch soon!
Nomad ... signing out.
