(Note: The character acts like a frat boy / ‘meathead’ here but he really isn't. When I started writing this, it just seemed funnier that way, so I kept it. If anything, think of it as residual influence from the events he describes and those he’s around. Either way you’ll still get the point of this.)
Audio log Hale Rimes Codename: Sleet Storm Rank: Field Operative - ‘trainee’
“Ok, so, it’s been a few days since we left the island. Man, was it crazy there. Was on that place for days, no food, only my own ice to make water. Didn’t trust the snow there, creepy as all fuck. Freaking the whole place was basically a giant mushroom. Dude, I seriously hate mushrooms now. When I hit that one and it exploded, yo, I was tripping balls afterwards. That was one messed up dream. I mean, come on, I got linked into another plane of thought or something. Some weird hallway with all those strange people, that’s how messed up I got. And then all the Nazi zombies. Seriously, Nazi zombies. That first fight took a lot out of me but I knocked them over, that was fun. But then the mushroom Nazi in the sub? It talked to me, I mean IT TALKED TO ME! Then it made me see shit, like when Agent Powers and Singularity came to find me. I had no idea it was them. Like really, I’m still not sure about that, but its gotta be. That ice wall I put up was pretty nice. But Sinny just busted threw it like the god damn Kool-Aid Man. Then I was hauling ass out of there, only to find fucking life size rotting nutcracker soldiers. Locked that shit back up. Next thing I know, we’re all outside, I’m finally eating, Agent Powers is calming me down, and Sinny is loading up on explosives and heading to the Nazi sub. Like, damn girl, you don’t wanna go back in there. Couple minutes later, she strutting back out then BOOM! Shit got real! It was like time slowed down and I could see everything. The whole thing blows up. The sub gets ripped apart, debris flying everywhere, half the sky was smoke and fire. Then there’s Sinny, just walking back like a boss, hair flowing in the wind, skin glowing from the flames. Not gonna lie, she looked damn hot. Too bad she’s such a bitch. Seriously, do you have to have fucking sugar plum fairies on your phone? But still, yo, hot. Anyway, then those flying things came out of the ground. I couldn’t do shit, tapped out. Agent Powers and Sinny took care of it, so all good. We made it back to the beach, found Tempest, bunch of sailors and left. We got on the ship and docs checked me out. Good thing, some of those mushroom spores wanted to live in my lungs. Fuck that noise. The docs got rid of them, gave me a clean bill of health. Did I tell you know much I hate mushrooms? Had a debrief with the higher ups and now we’re heading home. Only good thing about this is all that time in the cold, I got a little better with my ice powers. Came up with a few ideas. Gotta see how to make it work now. Plus I got to screw with the crew. The captain called me up, asked me to drop an iceberg ahead of the ship, and bam, ‘Iceberg dead ahead’. Said it’s to keep his crew in line. Do or die, and all that. We survived so no problem. Should be back in the US in a few weeks. Some more testing when we get there, then on to the next mission."
