Situation NOT Nominal

With the explosion of the research facility Omega Delta
still ringing in my ears, I fall into the underwater river
that leads to the Water Processing Plant for the base. If
the rest of my crew were able to execute their orders the
water supply should have been contaminated, the plant set
to self-destruct, and any surviving security team members
picked up at the designated EVAC site. That was the plan...

Approaching the entrance to the Water Processing Plant I
come up for air in the swirling waters. As I fight not to
be smashed against the underwater rocks I see
that Smithers isn't there to meet me. This is NOT a good
sign. He's never been late in his life... Hell, not even
to a dentist appointment! Gripping my weapon even tighter
I prepare for the worst. If the team's been taken out
then it will be up to me to finish the job.

No sense crying in my beer, that's why they pay me
the big bucks, I guess. I've got a Water Plant to shut down,
contaminate and a self-destruct sequence to set in motion.
God knows what amount of enemy resistance I'll face in there.
There's little chance of help and on top of that there's the
air bombardment. If ALL goes well I won't get killed,
I'll have all my body parts and there'll be a ship to pick
me up. Well now that I think about it, maybe it won't be
so bad...

As I climb out of the water I catch sight of a shotgun lying
on the ground. There's some ammo nearby as well. Just as I think
to myself it's a good omen the cavern ceiling explodes in a
shower of rubble and debris. The ominous hissing sound of an
Icarus's jet pack fills the air above me. I quickly
duck and roll while squeezing out a few rounds from the shotgun.

I know every man's luck runs out sooner or later but I'm gonna
make damn sure mine will definitely be LATER! The Icarus is
satisfyingly torn apart by my bullets causing his body to
crash to the ground. I LOVE the way they explode!

With adrenalin starting to pump once more, I open the main door
and I can't help but smile grimly to myself and think...

Who's next?
