The first mission
The van rattles beneath Amy as it carries her small group down the uneven road.For the dozenth time ,her hands drop to her side , making sure both weapons are still there....
( 🏹 & 🪓)
Amy
(You've got this,Amy .... just remember the training.....)
Across from Amy, her older sister thumbs rounds into a magazine with small, precise movements.She glances up , one eyebrow raising as she meets Amy's stare.....
Amy
You know what. How can you all get guns and I'm stuck with crossbow ?
Brynn
Because it's your first mission,and guns are dangerous.
Amy
Uhh,yeah.That's kinda the point.
Cassidy
Dangerous to us,rat catcher.Noise bad
Amy
I know that.I finished scout training years ago, today's just the first day, I'm old enough to go on-mission .
Amy
At last all those years in pest control gave me plenty of practice killing stuff, right?
Cassidy
Pretty big difference between shooting mice out of the hydroponics and staring down a pack of zombies.
Dirk
Give the kid a break , Cassidy.
Dirk
Amy , don't let her get you riled up. Just stay close to me and Brynn, we'll look out for you.
Amy rides in silence for a moment,then.....
Cassidy
Hold up , is it today your birthday? And you decided to spend it doing this?!
Cassidy looks at Brynn, who only shrugs in response.
Brynn
Don't look at me. I said we should get drunk and play foosball.
A short while later Amy arrive at an old building high up on the mountain. The van driver joins the rest of the group, raising an eyebrow at Amy's dazed expression.
Amy
Sorry, it's just ......m this is the first time I've left to the colony.
Jeb
Never would've guessed .
Brynn beckons everyone into a circle,her eyes constantly scanning the barren field around Amy
Brynn
Alright,Tower Command lost contact with this faculty five days ago, presumably because everyone inside is dead .
Brynn
Our job is to go in, grab whatever reasearch or medical supplies we can find, and get the hell out.
