At an Offshore plant in the Atlantic Ocean

The group shows Simon, alongside Helian, FTac Recon, XM4, TYR, Sakin MG38, LM-S, Tempus Razorback, HRM-9, Marshal, DM56, M4, Cx4 Storm, MG3, MP5, FNC, FN-49, Grizzly Mkv, SCAR-L and G36 arrived at Offshore plant by helicopter UTH-66V

The UTH-66 landed on the helipad as the pilot checked the helicopter and the plant was in a worse state than they had imagined. Rust covered much of the metal framework.

LM-S: This place is a mess.

MG3: *disgust* This place is old no one has been there in the past.

Simon: We'll it's not pretty, but it's a solid structure underneath all this. We'll... I should my men clean it up including Robots and make some repairs.

TYR: Wait, you need manpower and robots.

Simon: Yeah, and so far this project could keep them focused and out of trouble. 

Simon called his Codec to bring more men and robots to this offshore plant, and then he turned to soldiers.

Simon: Men, what you to work ahead and make sure get rid of the birds. Then we can start on structural repairs.

G.H.O.S.T. Soldier: Yes sir!

Helian: And we need equipment from Elmos.

Simon: Don't worry Helian, Kryuger informed this deal. *S T-Doll and T-Doll* As for you all, I have a mission for you Iceland, while we handle this repair of the structure.

Seaside of Iceland,

FTac Recon decloak his mask, with XM4, TYR, Sakin MG38, LM-S, Tempus Razorback, HRM-9, Marshal, DM56 decloak themselves.

HRM-9: *scanning the area* No sign of enemy movements.

FTac Recon: Right, signal the other dolls.

Marshal then waves hands to GnK Dolls as peaked out from the bush M4, Cx4 Storm, MG3, MP5, FNC, FN-49, Grizzly Mkv, SCAR-L and G36 goes out and they meet up each other as Simon heard on their frequency.

Simon: *COMMS* Punch here. Do you copy?

FTac Recon: Affrim, landing on Iceland.

Simon: *COMMS* Good, that makes one leap of us. I'm sending this from the offshore plant - Our Mother Base. This signal is unidirectional.

FN-49: Why?

Helian: *COMMS* We've can't get contact the enemy radios.

MP5: So we've have to split up?

Helian: *COMMS* That's right.

Simon: *COMMS* I'll be giving you all commands and advice through this channel. Remember Keep your codecs and frequency on at all times and pay attention.

FTac Recon: Understood.

Simon: *COMMS* Also, make sure no one else can listen in.

FTac Recon: Got it.

Sakin MG38 punch the fence gate which Iceland was abandoned.

XM4: So, Recon, I have a plan.

FTac Recon: What's the strategy?

XM4: We will provide recon and overwatch the arena, as soon we infiltrate the Iceland, we will find something useful of what the enemies are hiding.

G36: I definitely is good idea, we can risk any dolls just like what happened to S09 Arena many Dolls are destroyed but luckily for you Grizzly you managed to survive being destroyed.

Grizzly: *chuckles* Yeah... I *nervous* almost destroyed.

TYR: *glance* You didn't tell me about pretending you to be destroyed?

Grizzly: T-Tex calm down...

FTac Recon: Very well... I can go on myself, just like I did in previous mission back then.

Before he goes outside the fence, M4 grabbed him.

M4: W-wait, Recon...

FTac Recon: *turned to M4* M4?

M4: I-I can risk of loosing you...

XM4: Yeah, your girlfriends right... she is so worried and pissed you off because happened you've been killed or brutally hurt

FTac Recon: *blushed* *mocked* Oh really, Ramirez... didn't you just tell your lover Aliana to go on a date?

XM4 and SCAR-L blushed in mad which Stalker Squad and Dolls giggles and chuckles.

M4: *nervous* Please, Recon... let me go with you...

FTac Recon looked her, with her eyes worried, he remembered back when he was captured by Archer to put him in experiment and he fought with Ancestor in Operation Exodus, Markus had amazing powers of the ancestor's brain inside of him killing Ancestors that could stopped the Apocalypse. M4 will always be on his side. She is FTac Recon's wingman.

FTac Recon: Okay...

M4 smiled at him, the group then split up into the forest leaving M4 and FTac Recon both enter the forest as Simon heard.

Simon: *COMMS* I got to say Taylor, thanks to Hesh for agreeing to this. *sigh* Man... am I glad to be out here in Atlantic Ocean. Finally, we can have our own second base just like our first base in San Diego.

Simon: *COMMS* Breaking into hired Security and Mercenary business for real. Let me guess. I could remember we are doing it for her, back in Verdansk.

*echo* Verdansk (3x repeat)

FTac Recon could hear an echo word of Verdansk, he remembered back then before killed Vladimir Zakhaev. He would remember that way.

Flashback

Verdansk, Kastovia

While Arno Albrecht Rix and Rachel Friede were waiting outside the tent while the other make a decision of this hiring deal.

Simon: Come on, this good. They're willing to give us an offshore plant in Atlantic Ocean - a place we finally put down some roots. This is our chance to expand G.H.O.S.T.

Kryuger: Well, I agreed, since our base was destroyed back then in four years, I agreed, since we aligned each other. Hesh what do you think?

Hesh: Mmmmpphhhh...

Wido: Well, Simon right Hesh, your a security forces, not mercenaries nor foreign legions. G.H.O.S.T. a business. A new kind of bsiness for you.

Zelinsky: *Mmmphhh, ... since you expand your PMC across the globe while other PMCs base in Eastern Europe were wiped out by KCCO mobile artillery in multiple districts of Western military district of NSU.

Zelinsky: Four years ago, our military base went offline after bombardment, local Aerial intellignece Center, signal a variety of fighters aircraft from MiGs in Krakov, Sukoi in Prague and Ilyushin's in Lviv.

Logan: Zelinsky's right, we can let Carter find out or second base in Europe, Hesh we can set up second base in Atlantic Ocean. That makes our business. To do is find out who this White blizzard really is.

Hesh: Logan, it pretty obvious that what if those two were URNC agents. 

Logan: *realize* Wait, that would mean...

Hesh: Our friend the "Professor" could be URNC.

Logan: I see...

Lucia: You'd be making an enemy of the Rosstarist Nations.

Simon: And there'd be no turning back.

Helian: We don't owe anything to the UNRA, anyway.

Hesh:*sigh* Put on some coffee, Simon, it's time for a little chat with those professors.

Back Inside

Arno with Prothrestic arm appeared, a thumb shows a lighter, which Wido had his cigarette on his hand.

Wido: *smirks* I like it...

Arno lit his lighter to Wido's cigarette.

Angelia II: Where did you get this?

Albrecht Rix: I got my medal from Democratic German Republic General. He gave me this prosthetic hand as well.

Angelia II: Like my sister and me.

Albrecht Rix: But smoking was ruining my lungs. So, I quit. I've not had much use for it since. But it's quite honor to meet the most powerful PMC. G.H.O.S.T.

Hesh: Me and Logan always prefer as private Security company.

Albrecht Rix: Then perhaps I should you ghost?

Logan: Yep, that was our original task Force Stalker long time. What about you Kameraden?

Albrecht Rix: Well, allow me to get straight to the point all of you.

Maxwell: Name it.

Meanwhile

Rachael Friede seen removed the wet stench off her skirt.

Albrech Rix: Land as slim as a whip, hot as torture.

Simon: I get that was Chilean, Poet Neruda. Of course I learned about history...

Albrech grabbed a small device which is hologram in Iceland near American Continent.

Albrech Rix: In Iceland near the American continent bridging West and East. We want this land here.

Zelinsky: And what kind of you want this Iceland?

Albrech Rix: To build a stronghold then use it to prevent any war disaster.

Simon: You mean that firework incident happened when Soviet argue about what happened their base.

Albrech Rix: We, on the other hand, would gain a base from which all America continent would be well within our reach.

Angelia II: But why Europe instead?

Albrech Rix: Because they had problem issue happened since Firework incident, riots, and refugees for me I was going to Iceland near American continent.

Albrech Rix: He who controls Northern America will this war.

Maxwell: But the Iceland was in yellow zone either ELID disease or nuclear fallout.

Albrech Rix: But there are remnants of people of Iceland formed a liberation front. We've begun instigating to aid the Iceland people liberation front from Blizzard ice.

Simon: So that means, the remnants of Iceland people regain their home.

Hesh: You think America's just gonna let that happen including Germany but not for Neo-Soviets?

Albrech Rix: Certainly not, after all, Blizzard ice is already here.

Simon: And the White Blizzard ice is paramilitary inside the Iceland?

Albrech Rix: Yes. It's clear that they've been sent in to disrupt our efforts across American Continent in Iceland. Simply put, a paramilitary station in Iceland. It's more complex than that. the Inner Circle's got something else planned for Blizzard Ice as well.

All: What?

Albrech Rix: That is million prizes. Hesh, we want Simon, few of your Dolls or even get aid with your friend GnK to find the answer.

Hesh: So what do we do in this Iceland?

Albrech Rix: Infiltrate and investigate the facility Iceland where Rachael was imprisoned before East German Special forces rescue her. Learn all you can of their operations. Then, drive them out of this country.

Hesh: You're asking us to settle a turf war between Paramilitary and the PMC?

Simon: What about her? That was just an act?

Simon pointed at the girl who is rubbing her nose because of cold.

Albrech Rix: Hmm. You mean her words about peace? She is Germany student, she was capture - that much true. 

Simon: And you thought we'd fall for a SOB story?

Albrech Rix: No, I had good reason to bring her along. She manages to escape with her life Why were they attacked? I believe this will help explain.

Albrech handed a USB drive as Simon, Hesh and Logan looked at the USB that Rix holding.

Angelia II: A USB drive?

Albrech Rix: Perhaps they saw something they weren't supposed to. They heard something shouldn't have.

Aiden: Where did you get it?

Albrech Rix: Rachael took this during her escape.

Meanwhile FTac Recon listened to the conversation while he was outside the tent. Hesh insert the USB on the laptop and audio played hearing an Arctic Fox.

https://youtu.be/-CYlflqCNkE

Aiden: What's that?

Hesh recognized that sound, that was a fox.

Hesh: *recognized* I know that sound... it's Artic Fox.

Zelinsky: The species like Artic, I thought, they're face extinct.

Albrech Rix: Rachael was researching of survivng Artic Fox. She went out into the jungle to record Artic Fox that they survived.

Simon: I heard that some animals like Artic will hide to prevent a fallout or ELID disease.

Albrech Rix: That would be much correct, how did you know?

Simon: Tch, I've know animal planets in TV series including the books I read.

Albrech Rix: While she record Foxes and stumbled upon this.

The audio on the laptop began phrasing while Artic Fox roar sound with the strange glitch.

Aiden: So... so what?!

Hesh then stopped him, as the audio began playing forward, as audio heard was a female voice.

Albrech Rix: *smiles* Now, it gets interesting.

???: I chase it back to its nest. Those foxes are amazed. it will bite you. Kitsunetsuki.

Which bombshell with Hesh and FTac Recon who is still outside the tent, recognized that voice which they stunned.

Hesh/FTac Recon: *stunned* Mina...

Albrech Rix: Confirm, a voiceprint analysis confirms, that voice is indeed the DIH agent from Hokkaido Japan, and the former JSDF - Mina Yukitara.

Aiden: *stunned* Wh... WHAT?!

Simon: *stunned* It can't be?!

Helian: Who's Mina?

Albrech Rix: She one of DIH agent and former JSDF, she was part of involvement of Shallow of Death incident. Unfortunately, she died during the battle in China, when she infiltration and unfortunately, she didn't make it.

Kryuger: What about other voices?

Albrech Rix: The other hasn't been identified, a female Japanese in age 30, with a Japanese accent. The song played in the background was a hit in 2040.

FTac Recon stunned he simply, sit on the ground when he lose control, he could remember happened.

Mina: *Voiceover* I always would be on your side Taylor~ you owe me back in Shallow of Death island... 

In his memories, FTac Recon fought with EX1 on top of TARANTULA, and finally finished him off, then fast forward memories, of seeing two JSDF including Lucia, FTac Recon and Mina were on the boat. Before that, Mina, grabbed him and pull him towards her, and kissed him.

Hesh: *stunned and sad* Mina... is alive in Iceland?

Albrech Rix: As I understand it, you are the friend with Mina, Namura's friend fought by your side... and that she died in her last infiltration in China during World War III...

*BANG*

FTac Recon seen inhaling himself while outside the tent while sweating himself.

Albrech Rix: Well? What' it be? Will you take right job?

Simon: Sir, it's gotta be a trap.

Albrech Rix: So, you still can't turn your back on your family... then I supposed you won't need this.

He uses his lighter with his lighter on the USB...

FTac Recon: *shocked* NO WAIT!

FTac Recon snatched the USB from Albrech's hand which other commanders shock in surprised to see FTac Recon shows up.

Aiden: Taylor?

Albrech Rix: *thought* That boy... looks familiar faces... *shocked* It can't be...

FTac Recon with USB on his hand, he asked Albrech to accepted this goal.

FTac Recon: Commander, I'll do it. You guys should focus on Verdansk. I'll do it for the girl... for Rachael.

Albrech Rix smirk, he lighter off from his hand and the two fingers shows up sign of peace.

Simon: Your right, Sir I'll go with Recon. For peace then.

Rachel: *smiles*
