[LOCATION: BLIZZARD CITY OUTSKIRTS] [WEATHER: HEAVY SLEET, SNOW] [TIME: 11:30 P.M.] ???: (is looking at Blizzard City...or what's left of it...he clutches the dagger necklace he's wearing. not a day goes by that he doesn't think about what happened there...his fur is currently white, matching the snow around him) ??? 2: hey Nomad...what are you doing here? Nomad: just paying an old friend a visit... (turns around to face his friend) what about you, Sonic? Sonic: just curious where you went...you okay? Nomad: yeah. you? Sonic: I'm alright... Nomad: good... (his phone vibrates in his pocket...he takes it out and checks...it's a text) [Nessy: "last arrest got a bit tough...at least that's another one off OPFOR's "Jenga tower" as Caylus calls it. get home safe"] Nomad: (sighs and put's his phone back in his pocket. he proceeds to his car when he receives another text) [Talia: "betcha OPFOR wasn't expecting that"] Nomad: (this time, he replies) [Nomad: "you should have seen that guy's face when you yeeted that plasma blast. he was like: 0.0"] Nomad: (he get's in the driver's seat of his car, a pitch black four-seater jaguar. it may look average but it could carry his whole team and reach a top speed of over 140 miles per hour. it's also bulletproof so there's a bit of comfort when he's in the car. he places his phone on it's holder next to the centre-right fan vent, starts the car and begins driving. he watches Sonic run past like a railgun round and checks his watch) [11: 33 P.M.] [THREE YEARS BEFORE THE EVENTS OF T.N.S. ACT 1] [LOCATION: LAS VEGAS, HOTEL ROOFTOP] [MISSION: TOP SECRET] [WEATHER: SLIGHT RAIN] GHOST: (a solder in a pitch black nanosuit is standing on the roof. he wore a blue visor over a skull mask. he radios his team leader) PROPHET, this is GHOST, I'm on site PROPHET: copy that GHOST. intel says that OPFOR is making a deal with someone on top of INTERPOL's RED NOTICE. target codename: LIGHT RAIN GHOST: INTERPOL is really good with codenames. (#sarcasm) I could guess that intel suggested I repel down to the ground floor? PROPHET: yeah...you can handle this? GHOST: yep...just another day at the office for me...(notices a small black box on the side of the building) hey, PROPHET there's a surveillance box up here. OPFOR must be pretty interested in someone PROPHET: change of plans then. me and PSYCO will secure LIGHT RAIN. you'll find out who's being watched by OPFOR. according to INTERPOL, LIGHT RAIN is a known associate of OPFOR LEADER, so he won't be the one they're watching GHOST: make sense. I'll hack into the box now. (does so) uh, PROPHET, there are quite a few people that OPFOR has taken interest in. billionaires, high ranking L.V.P.D. SWAT officers, those kind of people PROPHET: copy that. I don't think we have the time to narrow down potential targets at this point. ingress via the roof and make your way from the top floor to the bottom floor GHOST: copy that... (makes his way to the roof's maintenance access point and opens the door) PROPTHET, I'm in... PROPTHET: copy that, watch your six, okay? GHOST: appreciated...engaging cloak (camouflages) [PRESENT DAY] Nomad: (had zoned out until Sonic decided to pass by again. he sighs) [TO BE CONTINUED....]
