Since the Skyranger is flying so low, your chute auto deploys the moment you leap out of craft. This gives you some time to try and scope out your landing zone, though it's a bit difficult considering it's still the middle of the night.

Squinting, you can make out three possible landing zones.

You can try landing on the coast, which is large and open, but you risk falling into the ocean, which also has the risk of drowning you or at the very least getting you wet, which is not ideal in the cold weather.

You can aim for a rather large clearing the forest below. The trick is to avoid all the trees around it...

And finally you can aim for the rocky highlands near the island's central mountain. Not a lot of obstacles, but there's not a lot of cover and the rocky ground has he chance of injuring you if you flub your landing.

You pull on your parachute straps to bring your descent in line with the clearing you spotted. Considering you didn't have a lot of space to maneuver, you were going to have to judge you distance correctly and hit the landing just right...

You manage to stick a textbook landing, effortlessly flaring your chute and landing on both feet. You quickly detach the chute from your gear and roll it up so it won't be blown away by the window.

"Whoa! Heads up!" You hear Charlotte yell. You duck just in time as she swoops over your head and lands further down in the clearing, her execution just as perfect as yours. In the distance, on the opposite side of the clearing, you see Sparky and Mary-Kate touching down nearby as well.

Generally, the first you did once you hit the ground was to head for the nearest cover. After all, a paradropping operator was at the most vulnerable the moment they landed. But, Sparky and Mary-Kate were so close enough that you didn't want to risk losing track of them.

You keep a close eye out on the perimeter of the clearing, but you don't spot any movement or any other indication of hostiles. Up ahead, Charlotte manages to link up with Mary-Kate and Sparky, and they set up a quick base of fire to cover your approach. Slinging your LMG to your side, you stand up and start double timing it to their position, when you hear an odd whooshing sound...

In your focus on keeping track of the edges of the clearing, you were totally ignoring what was going on in the air. You had completely forgotten about the tow glider the Skyranger had been pulling, which was carrying your squad's Viper.

There's a series of sickening CRUNCHES as the glider, coming in a bit lower than intended, smashes through several tree branches before plowing into the field behind you, narrowly missing you by several meters.

"Whoaa..." You mutter to yourself.

A quick cursory check of the glider shows serious damage to it, but that was to be expected. The cargo inside was protected by shock absorbers in case of this very situation, and from what you can tell, the Viper is largely intact.

"So uh, what do we do with it?" Charlotte asks.

"Well, we have to call in its position." You say.

"Roger that. Wraith Three." Simo replies. "Runaround is en route. What's your status?"

"I've linked up with Wraith Five, Wraith Eleven, and Sparky." You say. "Holding position until Runaround gets here."

"Good. Once Runaround gets the Viper running report to rally point for further instructions."

"Roger that, sir." You click off your radio and ready your weapon. Hopefully Runaround wasn't too far. Sitting out here in this clearing made you a bit more exposed than you would like. While the glider and the Viper inside could provide some decent cover, one good lance hit would turn it into a crater...

Unfortunately, Gallian training is highly specialized, as is most other organized military in Europa. You COULD try extricating and moving the Viper yourself, but you also stand a good chance of breaking something because you have no idea what the hell you're doing.

"We're too exposed out here, let's get into some better cover." You whisper, pointing to the forest.

Charlotte and Mary-Kate nod and they silently break off to clear the forest. Once their satisfied the area is cleared, there's a brief flash of a strobe light to let you know it's safe to move. You and Sparky pack up your weapons and enter the forest.

You all keep an eye on the glider and the Viper within for several very long minutes. However, you hear a rumbling sound in the distance. You swing your gun around and see a small, beat up pickup truck breaking out of the bushes and start trundling its way to the glider. Were they pirates? Civilians? You couldn't tell. You remember the briefing mentioning a small civilian presence on the island, and even though they were most likely collaborating with the pirates, wiping out a bunch of unarmed civvies didn't really sit well with you.

However, what you did know that due to the angle it was approaching from, if you delayed too long the truck would end up behind the glider, spoiling any chance for you to get a shot in at it.

Warning shots do not work. Ever. There's this story from the 03 invasion of Iraq where the Army set up a roadblock with some Kurds. This one pickup wasn't slowing down, so one of the soldiers fired a warning shot. The rest turned the truck into swiss cheese. Plus you give away the fact that we are here.

"Do we fire?" Sparky asks, arming her lance.

"Negative." You whisper. "We need positive ID, first. I don't want to accidentally blow up a bunch of civilians on our first op."

It's at this point you wish you had Morgan or Simo or anybody with decent optics to make out who was in the truck. However, you'll just have to rely on good old fashioned human eyes to figure it out.

Fortunately for you, the truck actually stops well before it reaches the glider, and you see a pair of figures hop out. Squinting your eyes to pierce the darkness, you see that it's a pair of unarmed kids, who were probably (un)lucky enough to be in the area to see the glider come down.

This kind of left you in a bit of a quandary. You had no way of telling if these kids were collaborators or not. Would they warn the pirates about your presence? There was no way to know. Plus, Runaround should be arriving any second now, and you're afraid of what might happen if he runs into these kids.

To be fair, these were just a pair of kids, so they weren't exactly the most observant of individuals. However, one of them does seem to get an impression that something is deeply wrong and instinctively turns around. You see his eyes widen as he sees what are presumably three living shadows materializing behind him.

He yells a warning to his buddy but at that point it's too late. Charlotte and Mary-Kate lunge and tackle both of the kids. Mary-Kate struggles with her target for a bit, but an M60 to hovering in front of his face convinces the kid to stop struggling.

With the kids secured, you move on to inspect the truck. You don't find anything of note, so, there's little possibility they called in the glider landing. Either way, it was best to make sure of these things.

"What are you doing out here?" You ask one of the kids.

"What are YOU guys doing out here?" Kid 1 retorts.

"I'd answer that, but I'm not the one with guns being pointed at. Answer the question." You say sternly.

"We just saw something fall out of the sky. Thought it was like, a meteor or something, or one of those planes the pirate's fly crashed or something." Kid 1 mumbles.

You nod. It doesn't seem like they're enemy spies or scouts or anything.

In the background, you can see Runaround finally arrive with Lucina providing him backup. They both glance in your direction curiously, but seeing that you've got the situation under control they continue on to the glider to retrieve the Viper.

Well, as long as you had these kids held prisoner, you might as well try and pump some information out of them if they had any.

"Okay, what do you know about the pirates here, then?" You ask.

"W-we don't know anything!" Kid 2 finally speaks up. "We just live in a small fishing village on the northern end of the island! The pirates just came in here a few months ago, and told us to stay out of the south end, and they wouldn't bother us! That's all we know! Honest!"

You glance at Charlotte and Mary-Kate. Charlotte shrugs, suggesting that you're not going to be getting anything more out of these kids.

"Alright, I believe you. Unfortunately, you're going to have to take a quick nap for now..."

With that, two swift strikes with rifle butts and the two kids are down. You tie them up and drag them to the glider wreckage. You'll have to make a note later to send someone to retrieve them after the mission was done.

Suddenly, the night air is disturbed by the rumbling of the Viper's engine, and the large wheeled vehicle slowly backs out of the glider.

"We're in business!" Runaround announces. "All aboard the Runaround Express! Keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times..."

With your transport up and running, you all pile into the Viper as it shuttles you off to the rally point. Most of the squad is already there, but you notice one person missing.

"Hey, Simo." You walk up to your commanding officer. "Where's Falynn?"

"We don't know. We've been trying to contact her but we're getting no response." Simo frowns, obviously troubled as well. "But we're already running behind schedule. The attack is going to happen in five hours and we haven't even gotten to the base yet. We're going to have to move out soon."

"Shouldn't we do something, though?"

"We can go search for her right now, or leave a search team behind to look for her, but I don't like the idea of using up precious time or splitting our strength." Simo sighs. "Or we leave right now and hope she can catch up with us."

We're an operator now, that means not endangering the mission.

Oh I tought Lucas was an optimistic knight. Make up your minds already.

>>27117763

lol "leave a note"

>>27117824
Lucas also mentioned to Falynn that she had every right to be in Tier 1 because he had faith in her skills.

>>27117824

In that case, Falynn should be able to handle herself while the rest of us complete the mission.

>>27117670
>We'll split up!

Leave Falynn alone in potential enemy territory? How do you think she'll feel when she gets to the rally point and finds out the squad left without her? Nobody gets left behind.

>>27117855

Of course when we finally meet her, lucas gives her a massive hug infront of everyone.

As much as you didn't like it, there was still the mission to complete, and you couldn't afford to waste time or resources to try and find Falynn. At least enemy presence up here was almost zero, so she would have little to worry about.

"What the fuck do you mean, 'trust her to take of herself'!?" You hear Charlotte scream.

Aw nuts, you almost forgot that Charlotte was present as well. This was going to be problematic.

"Like I said before, Charlotte, we can't afford to stay here." Simo repeats himself. "Falynn went through all the same training as us. If something went wrong, she should be more than able to handle it."

"Yeah, bullshit." Charlotte spits. "If you're not going to look for her, then I will!"

"Are you going to disobey a direct order from me, PRIVATE?" Simo's eyes narrow.

Oh dang, things were not going well here...

We could always try to compromise telling Charlotte to stop searching if she can't find her sister after 30 minutes.

"Sir," You slide your way into the conversation. "Despite our training, I still don't think it's a good idea to leave a squaddie out in enemy territory by themselves. Maybe we should let Charlotte look for her."

"You too?" Simo sighs. "Letting Charlotte run off on her own isn't going to make the situation any better..."

Honestly I think this is a terrible idea in principle, but I'm worried about the Twins having some kind of cascading XCOM rookie morale failure if left alone and something happens.

>>27118353
I'm not sure if sending Edwin is a good thing, because he may just bitch and moan how he is wasting his skills trying to find Falynn.

"Can't you send in Lucina to help?" You ask.

"Denied." Simo says almost instantly. "Lucina's our only scout. We need her to scope out the base."

"Fine, then I'll go with Charlotte, then." You respond. "Bragg's also a gunner, so you'll still get your heavy support."

Simo frowns and closes his eyes for a few seconds as he tries to wrap his head around this new situation.

"Fine. You and Charlotte can search the area for Falynn. The rest of us will proceed with the mission. In exactly one hour I'll send Runaround back with the Viper to pick you up. He'll only wait for fifteen minutes, and after that he's GONE. You'll be on your own then. Is that clear?"

"Crystal." Both you and Charlotte nod.

"Okay, Wraiths! We're moving out!" Simo yells to the rest of the squad. "Load up in the Viper!"

With that, the Viper's loading ramp closes and the vehicle barrels off into the night, it's lit silhouette disappearing behind the trees and the darkness until it's just you and Charlotte in the forest. It's one of those situation where you're normally afraid of being stuck alone with Charlotte, because who know what she'd try pull on you, but you can tell Charlotte is too distracted worrying about Falynn to care.

"Hey, Lucas... thanks for sticking up for me there." She says softly.

"I'm worried about Falynn, too." You reply, hefting your M60. "Who knows what could've happened to her."

"Yeah..." Charlotte nods, her voice a bit weak. It's almost unsettling seeing her like this.

"Okay, so let's plan this out." You say as you and Charlotte move deeper into the forest. "We know she didn't land in the clearing, so that means she headed for either the highlands or the beach as her landing point. Charlotte, you were right behind Falynn when we jumped, right? Do you remember which way Falynn was headed?

"We were both trying to go for the clearing, but I got hit with a sudden gust a wind and I lost sight of her after that."

"Okay, so that means she can't be that far." You nod. "Wait... the beach is the northernmost drop point, right?"

"Yeah." Charlotte nods.

"And the clearing the drop point farthest south?"

"Yeah..."

"Uh oh." You frown. "The rest of the squad dropped on the beach an the highlands. If none of them came across Falynn when they made their way to the drop point..."

"...she dropped further south than she was supposed to." Charlotte gasps.

"Okay, I don't think it's bad enough that we need to call the others in." You try to assure Charlotte, though you're obviously feeling a bit distressed yourself. "I'm sure she didn't even go that far."

"Y-yeah." Charlotte nods as she desperately tries to believe you.

"But, in the interest of time, I think we should start double timing it." You add.

Both you and Charlotte push your way into the forest quickly yet quietly. Though there weren't SUPPOSED to be any hostiles in the area, you couldn't be too careful, especially when it came to trusting shaky intel.

"Look." Charlotte points up to the trees. You crane your head up to see a parachute and an empty harness tangled in the branches in the branches above.

"Has to be Falynn's." You note.

And then your hearing, finely tuned thanks to countless hours of trying to stalk Lucina and her mother during training, picks up a noise. It's faint, but familiar. It's the sound of a magazine being slotted into a pistol.

You glance at Charlotte, who's heard the same thing, You nod at her and she begins to approach the source of the noise while you follow close behind.

"Fal? Fal, is that you?" Charlotte whispers.

"C-Char?" You hear Falynn's voice croak. It... didn't sound like she was in good shape.

"Fal!" Charlotte lowers her weapon and rushes to her sister, who was taking cover behind a rather large tree. You keep your own gun up and ready, just in case.

(cont)

>>27119259
"How bad is it?" You whisper.

"Broken leg." Charlotte winces. "Fal, what the hell happened?"

"I m-messed up." Falynn whimpers. "I overshot the landing and got stuck in the trees. I tried cutting myself out of my harness but I was too high up and... well..."

"Shhhh, it's okay." Charlotte pulls out her ragnaid and pops it, holding it over Falynn's injured leg. "Where the heck did your gear go?"

"Lost it when I hit the trees." Falynn mumbles. "Could be anywhere now."

"Okay, done." Charlotte, packs up the spent ragnaid. "How's it feel."

"Well, it's not broken anymore, but it still kinda hurts."

"Damn. Lucas, you think you can help her?"

"Yeah." You nod. Charlotte pulls Falynn to her feet, and then slings Falynn's arm around your back so that you can act as a makeshift crutch.

"You can still shoot?"

"Yeah, I can manage." You nod.

"What should we do about her gear?" She asks.

You pause for a second. On the one hand, Falynn's pack was just gear, and was ultimately replaceable. On the other hand, it was all pretty valuable stuff like your extra ammo, ragnaids, as well as her engineering equipment, which could prove to be a great tactical asset. Plus, there was the chance someone could find it...
