"Matthew...We're counting on you", you say, giving him the go ahead.
"Understood, I'll be just a moment." With the sound of a gentle hum you watch the lid push itself aside, a slightly blurred figure exiting out of it. It wasn't perfect cloaking, but close enough, nigh unnoticeable.
"Go get 'em Snake!" Brandy calls
"What?"
"Nevermind"
John quickly covers the lid again, letting the wait begin. "He's going to cut comms so no one catches on, just in case." He explains.
"So now..."
"We wait", John finishes.
A few minutes later the lid opens up again and someone comes down with a light splash in the foot high water. "Planted it."
"Work quickly." John warns, as Matthew comes into whatever sight you managed in the dark. He was holding his helmet, the eye holes in the gas mask glowing around around the edges.
"Oookay. Done. The canal should drain out"
"Alright, let's go. We're going to retreat and regroup, make contact with the other teams if we can." John begins leading the way back, Matthew following, then Brandy then Heinz, then Thomas with you.
"So that's it?" You ask, finding the mission so surprisingly simple.
"Now we escape. Or at least we try." Matt quickly remarks.
"Try?"
"Well after I drained the canal and fried the system I fear they may be on higher alert around here."
"Oh..." You get it.
With due haste the team exits the waterway back the way you came, coming out into the open canal. Immediately your eyes catch the completely dried canal path, it must have been hundreds of meters deep, literally a man made river.
"Enemy!" You hear someone shout, their voice becoming indistinct. Your eyes shoot up to the other side of the canal, first the wall, then scanning up to the ledge on the other side, a line of men with guns with a quadruped land drone on their left wing, your right. "Jump up!" Someone commands, probably John. You watch as the team jump up several meters to the top of the canal wall, over the rail and onto ground.
"Ann, come on!" Tom says, shaking your shoulder before jumping up himself. "Your suit has thrusters right?"
Oh..."Yea!" You crouch down, luckily dodging a burst of plasma that melts the walls of the canal. With your legs reflexively pushing off the railing you will the thrusters to activate. With a gentle roar you feel yourself fly shortly through the air, landing with your arms and legs flailing wildly. Heinz seems to help you land, catching your with his rather bulky right arm as you come in rough. With a grunt he lets go of you and rises his rifle, returning fire with the rest of the team following.
Bringing up the rear with Heinz you follow the rest of the team behind cover, yourself finding shelter behind a stack of barrels.
"We should get out of here!" Thomas yells, his voice just a bit quaky.
"We'll fi-MA-TWO!" Brandy yells. Everyone was speaking aloud now. "Behind us! 02's hit!"
You quickly eye a squad of soldiers running up from your rear with rifles at the ready. Buildings at your sides, the canal edge and shooters at once side, more enemy coming up right in front. Matthew was just in front of you on the ground, firing off with a pistol, hitting one the 8 or 9 men, taking him to the ground.
"Leave me or we're all dead!"
"Shut up boy," A gruff voice calls, thick with an odd accent, "Take 02 and retreat, I'll cover buy time."
