There was a ringing sound inside one of the buildings that SMii7y, Puffer, and sovi, were running by. He headed in just to see if the others were alright too. He had no idea what was even going on. The blizzard was beginning to pick up again, and they had no fuel for the damn truck they found.
"Hey, it's SMii7y, Puffer, and sovi, over," SMii7y said, not entirely sure about radio speak since he hadn't really paid attention to that course before signing up for this mission.
Daukey cleared his throat, "Did you just say sovi?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, he was—you're supposed to say over, Daukey, get with the fucking program."
"Oh…My bad, over."
"Yes, sovi is here, you wanna speak with him? Over."
"Uh, SMii7y, sovi has been with me for the past hour…over."
SMii7y had no idea what to even say to that, at least until Puffer entered the room, shuddering from the cold.
"Can we get going already?"
SMii7y looked to Puffer, eyes wide, mouth falling open.
"What?" he asked, confused.
SMii7y had to get his wits together or they were all going to die. "Alright, sure, yeah.…Puffer, go kill sovi."
"What? Are you serious?" Puffer asked.
"We did not hear that fucking idiot speak for the past fifteen minutes, and we both know he likes to talk," SMii7y said, piecing everything together.
Puffer thought about it, nodding, then getting his gun out.
"I'm right here," sovi said into the comm, and they heard Daukey say something to him before sovi muttered, "over."
Puffer already headed outside, and SMii7y heard a gun shot.
"We're fixing the issue, uh…have you guys ever run into something like this before?" SMii7y wondered, trying not to think of how long this mimic had been with them and could've easily killed him and Puffer in the snow.
"Nah, not until now at least," said sovi, "over."
Puffer panted as he ran back into the room, "It's gone…it ran off into the darkness. Made no fucking noise and just disappeared."
"Fuck," SMii7y muttered, then said into the comm, "the mimic is gone, if one of us shows up, shoot us until proven otherwise. Don't just shoot, alright."
"Roger that," said sovi.
"Over," said Daukey.
"Let's see if it'll show up as Fitz or Matt," said SMii7y as they brave the cold dark environment outside once more.
