A tall old man with an eyepatch walks in on the Reaper cleaning his M200 rifle with a blank look on his face.

Old man: 00. I need you to come to my office.

00 Reaper: ok.

Now in the old man's office

00 Reaper: What do you need commander?

Commander: We have a new contract for you and your team.

A high ranking official is visiting a nearby base and the client want us to kill him and the commander.

00 Reaper: Anything else?

Commander: The client requests minimal soldier casualties, other than that. No we have been given authority to act as we see fit. Here's the mission details.

The commander hands 00 an orange folder containing terrain satellite images and estimated troop numbers

00 Reaper: [I see a ridge abut 900 meters out that would be a good spot, let's see what else. About 60 troops. Should be relatively easy.] Ok we'll take the job.

Commander: understood I'll prepare the necessary paperwork, you inform the team and get ready.

00 Reaper: understood.

Back to a small barracks room. With 4 people

3 men and 1 woman. One man is Tobias Paterson, tall with blonde hair and a strong build but a but a kind face, another is James Mitchell about average height brown hair and slightly thinner but still big Heather, a pretty woman with black hair, large chest, and larger muscles, with finally Garrett Foster the oldest in the group but still only 24 average height strong build and brown hair.
