I.E.D. (mission)/Transcript

Cutscene
''Section and Briggs are in a war room, explaining the next mission to a group of soldiers. Briggs is holding a clipboard.''

Briggs: How about that. Chairman Zhao just sent me his resume. Cocksucker's looking for a new gig!

Section claps his hands.

Briggs: (laughing) You bet your ass, we got these dickwads on the run. Alright, alright, alright, settle down.

Section uses his Data Glove Paired to show a hologram of a globe with Afghanistan highlighted and circled.

Section: We got trouble in Afghanistan. The Russian foreign minister's in Kabul negotiating a peace treaty with the Afghan president. Problem is, Central Intelligence intercepted an assassination order directed by Raul Menendez himself. In light of the assassination threat, the summit location has changed to Maidan Shahr, 50 miles west of Kabul.

''Section shows a hologram of the path leading to Maidan Shahr. A truck appears above it.''

Section: We'll provide overwatch for the government's convoy. At the first sign of trouble, use of terminal force is authorized.

Briggs: Authorized and fucking mandated.

Section shows a hologram of an MQ-27 Dragonfire, an ADS and Kraken

Section: Use your quads for aerial surveillance. You'll need those birds, 'cause those bastards'll dig in those mountains. Kraken will track your every move and is ready with ordinance from above, if needed. ASDs will flank you on the dirt. We're playing it real safe, so no boots on the ground this time. Just drones and the eye in the sky.
