25 Retrieval (1/2)
Chernobyl. Fifteen hundred hours (3'o clock). Thirty kilometers away from Pripyat river.
”What the.... Didn't he just say that everyone died....?” Putok asked with disbelief written all over his face.
”This is MGU Special Strike Unit First Lieutenant Lyle Connor, southern region eastern sector, to who am I speaking to?” Lyle replied. Even Lyle was having a hard time believing it. Eric just said everyone died and there were no survivors, but, speak of the devil, they contacted them.
”Grea*buzzzzzzz* one would co*buzzzz* but you guys di*buzzzz* utenant.” The survivor said on the comm. There was some kind of radio interference so the voice wasn't clear and Lyle was having a hard time making sense out of what he said.
”Flynn, can you get me a solid connection?” Lyle looked at Flynn. Only he can solve problems such as this.
”It's a bit tricky, remember that EMP I fired out earlier? It must have fired their comms inside, so it's difficult to get a solid connection around this area.” Flynn shook his head as he explained.
”Just answer me in one word, can you make him sound clear? Yes or no?” Lyle asked.
”Yes? Probably?” Flynn replied unsure.
”Do it.” Lyle said.
”...”
Flynn gave up explaining and started working on his magic.
”Listen, I don't ha*buzzzzzz*me, everyo*buzzzz*ed, these al*buzz* critters aren't *buzzzzzzzzzzz* head on, t*buzzzzzz* steps north of *buzzzzzzz* retrieve the pak*buzzzzzz* it's yours now *buzzzz* MGU forever!”
*beep*
The connection terminated. Lyle looked at Flynn who was typing on his Weblink.
”What happened?” Lyle asked.
”Connection got terminated or more precisely, he terminated it.” Flynn said without looking Lyle.
”And? What about making him sound clear?” Lyle asked again.
”Got it! Well I can't fix his comm but I can clear the voice after recording it, here, let me play it.” Flynn said and tapped the play option.
”Anyone on this channel!? *inhale* Any MGU personal hearing me? Please respond!”
”Great! *inhale* I thought no one would come for us *inhale*, but you guys did *inhale*, thank you Lieutenant.”
”Listen *inhale*, I don't have much time on me *inhale*, everyone else died, these alien critters *inhale* aren't strong if you fight them *inhale* with full force head on, the package is one ninety steps *inhale* north of my position, retrieve the package and *inhale* deliver it in our stead, it's your *inhale* mission now Lieutenant, MGU forever!”

From the tone itself, you can understand that he was on his last straw. Even when he was about to die, he prioritized his mission. He is a true soldier.
Lyle was holding his anger in. No matter what, he should not lose his cool. Anyone can lose it but not him. He is their leader and leaders should not be rash.
Little did he knew, his whole team was fumbling with rage. If let loose then there would be a massacre.
