Log 7 Woah
‘To my logged self,
I have found a new found love for writing about these experiences to clear my head. It was 0400 ( 4am fucking military time is dumb – I hope Jacob doesn’t read this.)I was on another weird transport helicopter like always. Sips was tinkering with his explosives-’
“Hey Lynx c'mere a sec” Sips asks. I begrudgingly sauntered over not really wanting to move. He was holding a small device of sorts, “ Yes sir what do yo- “ “ None of that” he interrupted, “It’s Sips I am not Captain Marietta look at this though, what do you see?” Looking at the object I see small pieces of tape and what seems to be random wires and smudges littering the device, small symbols and… gunpowder? “ It is a bomb, right?” He threw on a devilish smirk looking up from his chair. “ oh ho ho it is not just ANY bomb” He lifts his handiwork and inspects its details. “This is the beginnings of- for a lack of better wording, a sticky bomb. One of the most powerful ones you will ever lay your eyes on is 12x stronger than the ones used in the field.” He exclaims loudly. Lynx looked down at the device once more, now a far bit more terrified. “ I- I see” is all I can seem to respond with. He seems disinterested in me now, as he turns away ending the interaction going back to tinkering. I went back to my seat feeling nauseous, I am not good with flights, not helicopters at least. Fidgeting and picking at my gloves, if i didn't have them on I'd be picking at the skin around my nails.

We were starting to land and I felt the helicopter jerk to the rougher end of the landing. The gates opened and I grabbed my knives from my holster and satcheled my Tac 50 across my back.
Have I mentioned how uncomfortable it is sitting still for hours on end. I used to be always moving as a kid but going into the military and being given the sniper role has its perks. I get to be far away from the action… less it comes to me first.
I caught them about 5 feet away. They had seen where I was shooting from.. FUCK I have to move but their going to spot me.’Time to liv up to my name’ I thought as I stayed in the tree attacking my sniper to the branch as they walk closer to where I was I readied my karambit. They were under me seeing my shadow. They'd look up as I pounced. Crushing their comms under my knee as I fell my other knee on their chest hearing a distinct pop and shoving my knife down into their throat hearing the blood gush through their already starving for air lungs. Adrenaline was in my bloodstream as I yelled into my comms “ THEY KNOW WE ARE HERE THEY SENT A SCOUT OUT TO ME WE NEED TO LEAVE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER” “Stop yelling it is improper of you ‘Lynx’. We are fine down here, not our fault you cannot properly keep yourself hidden.” Captain Marietta sneered out. As if he knew any better than she did, sure he was her captain but that doesn’t mean he is ALWAYS right. That is when she realized the person under her wasn't alone as a blunt end of a rifle hit the back of her head and she heard yelling and stray bullets being shot in all directions then a loud, BOOM!!! Was heard to her left sending her flying down the hill she had been stationed at. Garbled noises came from her comms as she continued to fall, roll and tumble down till she came to a halting stop with a groan. “ mmmh that was not an easy fall at all.. W-wait where's- ok got the knife and my snipeeeerrrr here got it yup ok’’ The muzzle was bent inward and upwards. “ Just what I needed, another reason for Jacob to yell at me.. Is he yelling at me?” I tapped the comms on my shoulder where the static garble was coming through with muffled voices. ‘Fuck I must have landed on it while I was falling.’ There's a sting in my right ankle as I stood. I rubbed my shoulder and leaned against a tree taking deep breaths as I heard yelling up the hill, this time in english.. I think my ears are ringing but I can make out my callsign “Lynx… Lynx… Lynx!!! Holy shit you're still alive hey hey take the pressure off the ankle its bleeding we need to get you out of here” It was Viper our Ace our best card trickster is what he preferred. He was more of an older brother than my actual older brother, Speak of the devil “ Damnit can you not do anything right” Captain Marietta called out running over through the woods “Broke an expensive comms device and an even higher expense sniper. Fucking pathetic Viper head to the evac spot 10 clicks. now.” He said with eerie calmness as he stared me down with disgust. Viper looked between us before shooting me a ‘I am not also getting in trouble I am sorry’ look and walking off. Jacob waited staring at me before beginning to walk away following Viper. It took me a very slow second to recognise he was going to leave me if I couldn't push through this, I scrambled to follow after and ended up almost being left as Sips and Viper stalled for time for me to get back to the helicopter. Why is it always my brother controlling my life like a fucking tyrant.
