Inside the Blackhawk, Harvey calls and instructs Colonel Hopkins to give FOXTROT 02 her a weapons instructor for the meanwhile as he will help and check-up with Able 1-1 at Arkson Base.

Harvey : " *radio* Yeah! You can assign from the FOXTROT Operators, and also because my stupid ass forgot to remind them earlier, tell to the girls that I will be at Arkson Base for a day or so because of the recent bandit events that happened there. "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *radio* Roger that, sir. What about FOXTROT 02, sir? I’m not mistaken, she is now at her final weapon exercises, sir? "

Harvey : " *radio* Yes. She is very capable and adaptable in using modern weaponry that even I was surprised by how good she was. I guess her determination and being a knight in the past have helped her with that. For a whole day, just take a couple of the operators with her to help her train. "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *radio* Roger that, sir."

Harvey then hangs off the radio.

On his right side, the first crew chief of the Blackhawk is at the gunner seat, while the second one is at the left open door.

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ Weapons Qual, sir? /*

Harvey : “ *comms* Yeah. From my group. She’s a brave one I gotta say! But wait a minute. Do vehicle crews and pilots also get through Weapons Qual automatically? “

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 1 ] : */ Yes, sir. Every unit that you spawn is already combat-effective. /*

Harvey : “ *comms* I see. That really saves us time and resources. “

…

…

…

After minutes…

At Arkson Base Airspace...

THUNDER 1 is now approaching Arkson Base.

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Arkson Base, the new bird - THUNDER 1 here with Sir Harvey as the VIP. Requesting permission to land at uh, what’s that? Helipad 4? /*

[ A.B. ] [ Flight Controller ] [ Eagle 3-8 , 1st Bn. ] : " *radio* Callsign THUNDER 1. Proceed as requested. Helipad 4 is vacant. You can land the bird there. "

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Roger that, base. Helipad 4, THUNDER 1. /*

And after a couple more minutes, the Blackhawk gradually descents into the base’s helipad.

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ 50…….30…….10…….and landed. /*

As the Blackhawk lands, Harvey exits out of the helicopter and observes the situation going around Arkson Base.

The base has been improved ever since Harvey left the base a couple of days before. Some reinforced walls and overwatch towers coated with leaves and branches as camouflage, some newly constructed hangars and houses for armory and storages, and increased patrol silently going out and around Arkson Base.

Harvey: “ Neat. One will never think that this base was previously attempted to raid by the bandits. ALRIGHT, GUYS! I WILL GO INSIDE NOW! WE WILL STAY HERE TILL TOMORROW OK? “

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ Roger that, sir! /*

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ We will refuel and check systems and gear for the meantime! /*

Harvey then proceeds into the Arkon Base Operations Building while the rotors and gears of the Blackhook slowly turn off for refueling and parking.

…

…

…

Inside the Operations Building of Arkson Base…

Harvey is greeted and saluted by the guards at the entrance which Harvey also saluted back.

After that, he went to the front lobby to check where Able 1-1’s office was. There, he was also greeted by a salute from the unit in the lobby.

[ A.B. ] [ Baker 2-12 , 1st Bn. ] : “ *salutes* Sir Harvey, welcome. How can I help you, sir? “

Harvey : “ Uh yeah. Where is Able 1-1’s office? He told me before that his office is inside here at the newly built Operations Building. “

[ A.B. ] [ Baker 2-12 , 1st Bn. ] : “ Yes, Sir Harvey. Able 1-1’s office is on the second floor, and in the room with a title plate of “Chief of Arkson Base“ “

Harvey : ‘ Oh I see. Thanks for that *salutes*. “

[ A.B. ] [ Baker 2-12 , 1st Bn. ] : “ *salutes* You are welcome, Sir Harvey. “

Harvey then proceeds upstairs and into the second floor to find the room with a title plate of the “Chief of Arkson Base“.

… … …

Harvey : ‘ Chief…….Chief…...Oh, here it is. “

As soon as Harvey finds Able 1-1’s office, he knocks on the door.

Harvey : ‘ *knock* *knock* Able 1-1? Harvey here. “

Then, a soft voice emanates inside the room.

[ ??? ] : “ ….yes, sir! Come on in. “

Harvey then opens the door and is welcomed by Able 1-1 who is sitting on the office table while looking through various intel that they had gathered from Operation’s Lament’s Revenge.

Able 1-1, stands up, and salutes Harvey.

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : “ *salutes* Welcome sir to my new office. How do you like it, sir? “

Harvey inspects the office and is content with how the office looks. There are polished chairs and an office table, carpet, and a bookshelf.

Harvey : “ Not bad, not bad. How long did it take to build this place up? “

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : “ About two days straight, sir. “

Harvey : “ I see. Well, this building isn’t very large, so I supposed it’s really quick to build this place. Anyways, how’s the situation going right now? “

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : “ Yes, sir. “

The two then have a meeting and discussion about the previous operation from the bandits and the response activities the base took to further prevent these kinds of raid scenarios. They also check and study the intel documents and objects the base had gathered to determine the overall picture of the bandit organization of this world.

…

…

…

After a couple of hours…

Harvey then halts the meeting to get to sleep.

Harvey : “ …. Alright. I think that’s it for tonight. I’m feeling kind of sleepy now. “

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : “ Understood, sir. I recommend using the VIP House that we also built next to this building. “

Harvey : “ VIP House? That sounds good. Then don’t mind if I use it haha. “

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : “ Have a good evening to you, sir *salutes*. “

Harvey : “ *salutes* Good evening to you also. “

With that, Harvey exits out of Able 1-1’s office and proceeds to the VIP House just next to the Operations Building.

…

There, he was greeted again by a couple of the spawn units that were guarding the VIP House. One unit also escorts and introduces Harvey about the rooms inside.

[ A.B. ] [ Baker 5-15 , 1st Bn. ] : “ This is your room, Sir Harvey. It has all the comfort and appliances installed. Have a good evening, sir. *salutes* “

After the escort leaves, Harvey closes the door and jumps on the bed, and sleeps for the night.

…

…

…

Morning comes…

*riing!* *riing!* *riing!* *riing!*

Harvey : “ Hngh! “

Harvey is awakened by his alarm watch. He stretched his arms and legs as he got up from his bed.

Harvey : “ It’s 0600 alright. Time to go and check with the base. “

He prepares his selected suit from his Inventory Space System and takes a shower from a nearby shower room.

…

After a quick shower, he suits up his new ABU and proceeds outside.

There, he would inspect various buildings and areas around Arkson Base to see and spawn additional tools, materials, logistics, and arsenal for the base to use. New communication devices and pieces of equipment, weapons and ammunition, construction materials and tools, and vehicle spare parts and oil for maintenance and power supply.

…

…

…

Meanwhile at H.Q….

FOXTROT 02 is currently finishing her Weapons Qualification with the help of the FOXTROT Operators and some of the HOTEL Operators. A couple of combat training is also done by FOXTROT 02 to further train her capability and efficiency of doing modern combat like CQB, Infiltration, and Exfiltration, and Direct Action and Reconnaissance.

…

…

…

Evening comes…

Arkson Base…

Finished with the base assessment, Harvey prepares to move out back to H.Q. through the Blackhawk again.

At the helipad and the ongoing Blackhawk, Able 1-1 with a couple of his main designated units from the base, waited for Harvey.

The loud sounds of the rotors of the Blackhawk because of the pre-flight resonates loudly near them.

Harvey : “ ALRIGHT GUYS! TIME FOR ME TO MOVE OUT! GOOD BASE AS LIKEWISE, OKAY? “

As Harvey handshakes with Able 1-1.

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : “ DEFINITELY, SIR! HAVE A SAFE TRIP! “

Other of the units with Able 1-1 handshakes with Harvey.

[ A.B ] [ Chief of General Aviation ] [ Eagle 5-11 , 1st Bn.] : “ HAVE A SAFE TRIP, SIR! “

[ A.B ] [ Chief of Security ] [ Flair 1-1 , 2nd Bn.] : “ THANKS FOR THE CONSULTATION AND HELP, SIR! HAVE A SAFE TRIP! “

After the farewell, the three went back to their designated posts…

...just in time as rainfall starts to pour.

Harvey, inside the Blackhawk, puts his comms device and tells the pilots that it is time to go.

Harvey : “ *comms* Alright boys. It’s time to go home. “

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Roger that, sir! /*

The two crew chiefs close the doors as the Blackhawk ascends and flies back to H.Q.

…

…

…

After a while….

The rain is starting to get worse. There are also strong winds beginning to destabilize the Blackhawk.

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Oh great. This is just great. /*

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ Didn't they forecasted the weather for tonight? /*

Harvey : " *comms* Yes. In fact, they did earlier. But they may seem miscalculated. After all, the weather system there is just newly built. "

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ I guess we can say, it's our time to release the “lightning” eh? /*

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ ..... /*

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ ..... /*

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 1 ] : */ ..... /*

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ Cause you know.....Our callsign is “THUNDER”.....and thunder produces lightning......so......uhm... /*

Harvey : " ..... "

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ Hhmm.....I'm sorry. /*

Then...

*BEBEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

The Blackhawk’s comms systems ring out as heavy rain and wind strikes the Blackhawk.

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ OH SHIT! COMMS ARE DOWN! /*

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ DID YOU OPENED THE RESERVES COMMS? /*

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ I CAN'T! /*

Harvey : " *comms* HAHA! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? "

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ COMMS ARE DOWN SIR! WE'VE GOT NO RADIO CONTACT FROM EITHER OF THE BASES! /*

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ SHIT! THE NAVBALL IS DISORIENTING! /*

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ SAME FOR ME! FUCK! PUT PRESSURE ON THE PEDALS! /*

*tudugulugluglugulgu*

As the pedals continue to wobble by the feet of the two pilots.

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ THE PEDALS ARE WOBBLING! I CAN'T PUT ANY PRESSURE! /*

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ MOTHERFUCK! /*

The Blackhawk is now experiencing extreme wind currents and rain as the helicopter is now destabilizing.

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 1 ] : */ SIR, HANG TIGHT! /*

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ SIR, DO YOU NEED A VEST FOR YOUR PRECIOUS JEWELS? /*

Harvey : “ *comms* AS A MATTER OF FACT, YES! I WILL BE REALLY GLAD IF YOU HAVE SOME! “

Continuous alarm messages and alerts ring inside the helicopter.

As the navigation ball displays a rapid altitude decline spin...

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ BRACE FOR IMPACT! BRACE FOR IMPACT! /*

And then...

*SPLAAAAAASH*

The Blackhawk crashed on a lake.

The two pilots ejected from their seats as the force of the water struck both of them.

Harvey is trying to escape inside the helicopter but he's stuck on his seatbelt. He tries to escape from his seat but to no avail.

Unbeknownst to him, his seatbelt is stuck between rocks and corals that's why he can't escape.

After a while, Harvey drowns while the two crew chiefs are trying to rescue him.

They are also the last thing Harvey saw before he drowns.

...

...

...

Half an hour later...

At an unknown lake inside Gargan Forest.

"...sir! wake up sir! " Harvey begins to hear.

" SIR! WE NEED TO MOVE UP SIR! "

Harvey then quickly opens his eyes and coughs water.

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : " Thank god you're alive sir! "

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : " Yeah. Good thing we managed to escape you from down there! "

Harvey then took a glance over the lake. He saw the rapidly sinking Blackhawk with a broken rotor tail, and dismembered cockpit.

It's still raining hard with thunderstorms and winds.

Harvey : " *pant* Have you guys contacted our guys yet? "

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 1 ] : " Negatory sir. We have no radio devices on our side now. "

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : " But we still had our guns! "

The pilots and crew chiefs are equipped with M9 Berettas that are holstered in their belts the whole time.

Harvey : " Keep your guns safe. You had any mags? "

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : " No sir. I only got one, that's in the gun"

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : " Same for us too. "

Harvey : " Alright. I'm gonna spawn extra spare mags for you guys and I'll contact Arkson Base or H.Q. while on it. "

But then, just before Harvey could use his hud systems, a group of knights shouted at them.

" DON'T YOU GUYS MOVE! "

The knights then quickly surround the five, with their muskets and swords pointing at them.

The pilots and crew chiefs then place their main hand onto their holstered pistol, ready to go on an offensive. But Harvey quickly realizes it and stops them from shooting.

Harvey : " WAIT WAIT WAIT! "

Harvey shouted with his arms in the air.

Harvey : " WE SURRENDER! WE SURRENDER! WE GOT NO INTENTIONS ON HARMING YOU ALL! "

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : " *whispers* But sir.... "

Harvey : " *whispers* Sshhh. Don't fight! They outnumbered us. Just follow me. I'm gonna think of a plan and wait for it. "

The pilots and the crew chiefs then raised their arms.

Then, a fancy-looking knight approaches them.

??? : " Hmmmm. I've not seen any of those outfits before. Are all of you from Babilon? "

Harvey : " YE-YES SIR! Uhmmm, Sir?..... "

L. Fabian : " Fabian. Officer Fabian Laprose of the 23rd Knights Brigade. "

Harvey : " Officer Fabian. I'm Harvey, and these people are..."

Harvey then starts to point at each of the pilots and crew chiefs.

Harvey : ".......Talon (Pilot), Tarone (Co-Pilot), Toby (Crew Chief 1), and Tommy (Crew Chief 2). "

L. Fabian : " Hm. So, then tell me. How come you guys are here? Didn't we announce that there will be a war between Almeda Kingdom and the Riman Nation?"

Harvey : " RE-REALLY? I mean, Really officer? I'm sorry if we didn't know about that. Our “master” kept us locked up inside a chamber for a long time. We only got the opportunity to escape from him when he ordered us to buy something. These clothes are also from his collection of merchandise that we've managed to steal when we got that chance to escape. "

L. Fabian : " Hmmm. Not only are you all pesky Babilons, but also pesky thieves. "

Officer Fabian then imprisons Harvey and the Blackhawk crews.

L. Fabian : " Take those people! Especially in those weird outfits, we don't know if all of you are spies of the Riman Nation or somewhere else. Cuff them all. "

Officer Fabian’s men leash some handcuffs to Harvey and the Blackhawk crews. They also proceed to check them to see if they have weapons.

Until...

Random Knight : " Huh? What's this? "

A knight grabbed an unknown hard object by the waist of Harvey and proceeded to check the object.

Random Knight : " SIR! I FOUND AN UNKNOWN OBJECT RESTING INSIDE THAT PERSON HARVEY! IT LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF A FLINTLOCK GUN! "

Other knights then checked the Blackhawk crews and found the same object as a modern pistol.

L. Fabian : " I KNEW IT! YOU GUYS ARE SPIES! YOU ARE ALL GONNA COME WITH ME! "

The knights then marched them while being cuffed.

[ Talon ] : " *whispers* Aw shit. "

[ Tarone ] : " *whispers* I know. "

But Harvey, instead, just bows his head. The darkness of the night covers his face. And when a flash of lightning appears, his face reveals a scary tone - a wide grin from ears to jaws.

...

...

...

Meanwhile...

At the Operations Building of Arkson Base….

Able 1-1 is suddenly gets disturbed by an incoming radio call from the units he designated from the 5th Platoon of Indigo Company to the Radio and Communications Department.

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : " *radio* WHAT? No radio contact from THUNDER 1? "

[ A.B. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Indigo 5-5 , 2nd Bn. ] : " *radio* Yes sir. We've tried dialing his hud and radio but he's not answering. "

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : " *radio* Shit! What happened? Alright. What is the recent transmission from THUNDER 1 before we lost contact with them? "

[ A.B. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Indigo 5-5 , 2nd Bn. ] : " *radio* The transmission displays that at 2157 hrs, THUNDER 1's comms stopped working and as of 2201 hrs, we've completely lost contact. "

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : " *radio* Okay. Thanks for the report. Keep trying to contact them and report to me if you've successfully made contact. Understood? "

[ A.B. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Indigo 5-5 , 2nd Bn. ] : " *radio* Understood sir. "

Able 1-1 then hangs off the radio and quickly assembles a search and rescue team for THUNDER 1.

... ... ... ... ...

Able 1-1 groups a rescue team composed by:

- 10 men from the 2nd Platoon of Gold Company, 2nd Battalion.

- 10 men from the 3rd Platoon of Flair Company, 2nd Battalion.

- 15 men from the 1st Platoon of Dog Company, 1st Battalion.

- 15 men from the 2nd Platoon of Able Company, 1st Battalion.

... ... ... ... ...

Procedures were:

- 2nd Platoon of Gold Company will search West and North-West from the last known location of THUNDER 1.

- 3rd Platoon of Flair Company will search East and South-East from the last known location of THUNDER 1.

- 1st Platoon of Dog Company will search North and North-East from the last known location of THUNDER 1.

- 2nd Platoon of Able Company will search South and South-West from the last known location of THUNDER 1.

They can't use any flight vehicles due to the bad weather.

... ... ... ... ...

After the briefing, the rescue teams move out in the darkness and rainfall of the night.

Able 1-1 also informs Colonel Hopkins about THUNDER 1’s disappearance.

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : " *radio* Colonel , Able 1-1 here. We have lost complete communication to THUNDER 1 and Sir Harvey. The rescue teams are on the way to the site. Over. "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *radio* Copy that Arkson Base. We also knew that a couple of minutes ago based on my radio and flight control operatives reports. Any estimate on how the rescue search will last? "

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : " *radio* Colonel, due to the bad weather, we are still going nonstop until we find them! "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " * radio* Hm. Okay. I will also send rescue teams. Make sure your guys will search around and nearby their last known location. "

[ A.B. ] [ Chief of Arkson Base ] [ Able 1-1 ] : " *radio* Roger that, Colonel. "

…

…

…

At H.Q. meanwhile...

Colonel Hopkins hangs the call off and assembles his own rescue team outside the field.

... ... ... ... ...

His rescue team is composed by:

- 10 men from the 1st Platoon of Oliford Company, 3rd Battalion.

- 10 men from the 3rd Platoon of Palmer Company, 4th Battalion.

- 10 men from the 4th Platoon of Lasley Company, 3rd Battalion.

... ... ... ... ...

After Colonel Hopkins briefs his rescue teams, they moved out into the last known Blackhawk’s location.

Colonel Hopkins didn't inform the three girls - Felicia, Olivia, and Rosie, of Harvey's disappearance. Because they might worry about Harvey and might search for him by themselves.

…

…

…

Somewhere around Gargan Forest...

While marching, the Blackhawk crews march alongside Harvey with their hands cuffed at their backs.

[ Tommy ] : " *whispers* Sir. What's the plan? "

[ Toby ] : " *whispers* If you want, sir, I will be the decoy and distract them. "

But Harvey screams to them.

Harvey : " SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU GUYS ARE THE REASON WHY WE GOT CAPTURED! "

The knights are surprised by Harvey's sudden scream.

Random Knights : “ HEY! SHUT THE FUCK UP! “

Random Knights : “ SHUT UP AND KEEP MARCHING! “

[ Tarone ] : " *whispers* Bu-But sir! "

But then, while marching and in front of them, Harvey hiddenly grabs Tarone by his arms behind him using his cuffed hands behind his backs and makes rapid and various quick short and long terms grabs and releases.

*grab**grab* - *release**grab* - *grab**grab**grab* - *grab**grab* - *release**grab**grab* - *grab*

Realizing Harvey’s hidden message, Tarone immediately grabs the other crew behind him and passes the hidden message from Harvey.

This continues up until the last crew from the furthest rear - Toby.

With that, they continue on marching.

Little did the others know, Harvey, let out a morse code. The crews recognized the morse code message. The “Grab” represents “dots”, while the “Release” represents lines.

The morse code message means: " INSIDE "

Meaning that Harvey will discuss the plan once they are all alone inside a room or place.

L. Fabian : " Stop screwing around! You all will have a lot of time to space once you bastards are inside prison. "

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But Harvey and the crew just hiddenly smiles, maniacally.
