First Mission

[foremostpatriot]

I don't know where I was, but this has to be the worst designed prison I've ever been in. If they're trying to make me feel at home, they could put me in a barracks, not a suburb I'd expect from my younger days. And what are these pictures supposed to be? I have my eyes in all of these

It seems that they repair damage when they bring us here, sir.

[foremostpatriot]

Does anyone remember how we got here? This is starting to sound uncomfortably like VR training. I'm too old for more training.

[sycophanticdick]

No, sir, I went to sleep at my base and woke up here the next morning. From what I've gathered, that's a typical experience. For those of us who don't think we're natives, at least. If this is VR training, then I'm not sure what we're being trained for, sir.

[foremostpatriot]

You raise a good point. From the looks of things, urban combat is the obvious answer, but why they chose something sixty years old is strange.

You're a soldier, then?

[sycophanticdick]

Private First Class Dick Simmons, sir! I've been here just over a week and haven't seen any combat here yet.

[foremostpatriot]

Where were you stationed before this?

[sycophanticdick]

Outpost 17-B "Valhalla," sir.

[foremostpatriot]

...right, that whole different worlds thing.

[sycophanticdick]

Uh, yes, sir, the evidence definitely suggests some overlap between alternate universes here.

[foremostpatriot]

Well, so much for recognition. Could be a good thing.

[sycophanticdick]

Maybe, sir. I don't recognize you myself, so I'm afraid I couldn't say.

[foremostpatriot]

Big Boss or Major General Jack Sears. Take your pick.

[sycophanticdick]

That's an... interesting title, sir.

[foremostpatriot]

Special Forces codename.

[sycophanticdick]

Oh, uh, I see, sir!
