POW Encampment
We arrived with a squad of Ghosts and saw the sight outside. Bodies and body parts hung up everywhere. People, Ghosts, hanging from their own intestines. Inside, I heard a voice. A voice I knew.
Noose: Any last words?
Zofia Bosak: Pierdol się, dupku. Nigdy nie przestaniesz tego, co nadchodzi. Pakt Zmian Koalicji dotrze tutaj i da ci skórę żywcem!
I busted down the door and saw Noose... With a fucking human intestine hanging from his shoulders.
Ghost: Nie ruszaj się!
Alexa: Hände hoch! (Hands up!)
Dallas: Let me see those hands!
I imagine it would be confusing hearing three different languages get shouted at you. Either way, this dumbass decided to try to raise his gun at two Commanders and twelve Ghosts. So I don't make you puke, he got shot so many times that he could barely be identified as a human anymore.
Alexa: Find Dash!
Oh we found Dash, alright. We found Dash dead... Not just shot or stabbed to death... Literally hollowed out. Dash's body was hollowed out... Nothing was there. All of his insides were on the floor. What? The? Fuck?
Alexa: Find Rook and Finka!
Rook and Finka were stationed here, with Dash.
Rook: Up here!
Rook and Finka opened fire on us... Fucking traitors.

Neither Alexa nor Dallas nor any of the Ghosts they took have reported in.
Ela: Jun, look at me. Go find them.
Wrath: I'm not leaving you here.
Ela: I'm safe here.
Wrath: That's what we thought back on October Revolution Island.
Ela: Just go. This place is completely hidden.
Ghost: Banshee reported!
Wrath: Give me the radio.
Alexa: Fuck... Jun, Rook and Finka are traitors. They're dead now, but we lost some too.
Wrath: Who?
Alexa: Ten out of twelve Ghosts........ And Dallas.
Wrath: Dallas?
Alexa: He's dead, Jun... They killed him...
Wrath: We will get revenge... Pandey is yours.
Alexa: I intend to make him suffer.
The line went quiet, but I knew Alexa was fine because her tracker was still online and monitoring her vitals.
Ela: Dallas... Is dead?
Wrath: Yes...
Ela: Fuck!
Wrath: Ces putains de connards! Je vais pousser une mangue salée si loin dans le cul qu'ils vont commencer à réciter le Manifeste communiste!
Ela: Jun, calm down.
Wrath: Et sanguis in manibus meis... Non prohibere ad me et innocentum... Et vitam perdidit innocentes manus meas ad ... et non subditis destinamus. Чертовы суки заплатят. Никто от меня не убежит. Никто не будет. Всех ждет одна и та же неминуемая судьба. Все будет возвращено семье по частям.

Jun: ربما حان الوقت للعودة إلى جذوري.
Ela: Jun...
Jun: Pomstím vás Dallas.
Ela: Juniper Geong!
Jun: What?
Jun didn't sound happy at all.
Ela: Come here.
Jun: Je suis désolé, chérie.
I scooted over and patted on my hospital bed to tell Jun to get in. I also opened up my blanket for him.
Jun: Je t'aime.
Ela: I don't know what that means.
Jun: Good.
Ela: What does it mean?
Jun: Do not worry.
Ela: I'm going to worry.
Jun: It's nothing bad. You'll know soon enough.
Ela: I have a friend who speaks French.
Jun: Where?
Ela: In Team Rainbow.
Jun: I must go now... Do not come looking for me or you could end up dead. Okay?
Ela: I'm not going to promise.
Jun: Please.
Ela: Okay, I'll try my best.
Jun kissed me on the forehead and left the room, leaving me alone... For the first time since I deserted, I called Emma. Emmanuelle "Twitch" Pichon.
Emma: Ela!
Ela: Hey, Emma.
Emma: Oh my God, it's good to hear your voice. Nienke was all around base bragging about how she shot you.
Ela: I put one in her and Alexa three in her back.
Emma: Who the fuck is Alexa?
Ela: Banshee.
Emma: Oh. Kinda forgot you were over there.
Ela: Yep. I have a question.
Emma: Go ahead.
Ela: Can you translate something from French for me?
Emma: Yeah.
Ela: What does "Je t'aime" mean?
Emma: It means "I love you"
I dropped my jaw and Emma saw because of a my phone camera that I enabled.
Emma: What?
Ela: Jun Geong said that to me.
Emma: Stop fucking with me.
Ela: I'm not. We've been together since February and he just said he loves me in French.
Emma: You're being serious?
Ela: A hundred percent.
Emma: How did you manage to get Wrath of all people to say he loved anyone?
Ela: I don't know. I treat him well.
Emma: Where is he now?
Ela: He told me he had to go and to not go looking for him. He left because Nova killed.
Emma: What?
Ela: By Rook and Finka.
Emma: Fuck. I'm still over here in this team, but fuck. Just so you know, I'm leaving here tomorrow. I'm deserting over there.
Ela: I'll make sure you get here safely.
Emma: How is that?
Ela: I'm in Delta.
Emma: Oh shit.
Ela: I'm sure you'll be a Spectre very quickly.
Emma: How hard was it to be brought up to Delta?
Ela: The training sucks so much. It's pain and misery every second of the day.
Emma: Great.
Ela: You can definitely get up to a Spectre though.
Emma: Mark is thinking of leaving.
Ela: Tell him to leave with you. We can get a whole new unit started for deserters.
Emma: Okay. I gotta go, just got called for briefing.
Ela: If it's against us, don't even load your gun.
Emma: Alright, see you.
Ela: See ya.
I was bored and turned the news on to see if anything interesting is happening.
Reporter: Four Team Rainbow informants have been murders brutally in south England. The counter terrorism unit states that the bodies were heavily mutilated and cut to pieces. "It looked like a movie scene" one Operator, who's name will not be disclosed, stated. The Coalition Pact of Change has not taken responsibility for this war crime, but the United Kingdom thinks the CPC is responsible. In retaliation, the United Kingdom has shipped 50,000 troops to the eastern border of France despite an active civil war between CPC supporters and oppositions.
That was enough for me. I turned the TV off and got an audio recording texted to me by Emma. It was the mission briefing. The keywords I took from it were: "Malutki is in this bunker."
Ela: Ghosts!
Two Ghosts entered the room and I played the audio recording. I'm kinda able to walk. A little bit. In the audio recording, Six also states that two helicopters of SAS Operators will also be sent.
Ela: We need to get out.
Ghost: There is nowhere to go.
Ela: Fuck. Arm the Klein drones and get ready.
Ghost: Yes, Commander.
I stood up and grabbed my Scorpion from my bedside.
Ela: Je t'aime, Juniper.
I got another audio recording of Eliza speaking in a helicopter.
Eliza: We end this reign now!
Zofia: Take down one Commander and there's three more.
Eliza: Malutki has a strong impact on the CPC.
Zofia: Let's bring the terror to an end.
Is my own sister about to try and kill me? I don't know, that's where the recording ends.
Ela: Get ready, Ghosts!
