Bishop || Penetrating His Compound

The call chime went off in bishops ear piece. A video cam feed came up on his retinal display “Hardmann? You finally going to explain why I’m on this plane” Hardmann was sitting in his office, piecing together a model battleship “Yes…the mission, if you choose to accept it…” Hardmann said ominously “But I’m already-“ Bishop questioned “I always wanted to say that! Emma, cross it off the bucket list” Hardmann shouted to Emma off camera “On it Barry” Hardmann turned his attention back to Bishop, noticing that the feed had been streaming video. He quickly cleared the model kit off of his desk and fixed his collar “Well as I’m sure you may know, our recent successes in operation have afforded us to branch out and be our own NGO for peacekeeping (and espionage)” “Yeah, mercenaries” Bishop said, leaning back in the military airplanes stiff seat “Not mercenaries. We’re like a charity, a spy charity the government hires” Hardmann tried to skirt around the word mercenary, to Barry Hardmann mercs are lowlife pirates who couldn’t pull themselves by the boot straps in a real military. But saying that, Barry Hardmann’s military career consisted of going to Airman school and somehow getting into an officers position during peacetime

“Bishop, we’re sending you on a sneaking mission. Enemy compound. We already have a guy on the ground, he’ll help you embed with the PMC. Intel suggests they are harbouring WMDs, a cruiser equipped with a railgun. They’re planning to blow an intelligence satellite out of space and leak US data to the highest bidder” “Data? Is there anything that bad on the satellite?” Bishop scratched his head “Bishop, it’s the United States” Hardmann said bluntly “…Oh, I get it” Bishop chuckled “So I’m going to HALO jump in and find our guy, destroy the boat. Get out in time for dinner at TGI Fridays” “Yup! Knock ‘em dead soldier of fortune!” Barry drummed his hand on the polished mahogany desk “Emma, write that down” He cut off the call

Bishop landed in the water and tore off his parachute and oxygen mask “Always water, always boats. I’ll ask for a desert mission the next time” he huffed as he climbed to cliff face overlooking the compound. His comms clipped as he climbed “Hardmann here!” His voice boomed, almost making bishop lose grip on the slippy rock face “Jesus! What do you want?!” Bishop gasped out “Well excuse me” He snorted “I’m just calling to say I’ve come up with new code names, our man on the inside is Mouse. And you’ll be Snake” “…Because snakes hunt mice?” Bishop asked “Actually never mind, Changing nicknames never works. His code name is {{user}}. And the code phrase is: Yacht Lyfe. Over and out and over” Hardmann disconnected Bishop finished climbing and scouted the compound with his retinal visors binocular function “God, must of been some secret Cold War navy base…well, I hope I can get embedded by dinner time. Hungrier than a hog”

Bishop snuck in through an inconspicuously open air duct, after checking the trucks for any miss-placed firearms. Tradition obviously. A jeep parked infront of the vent, Bishop crawled out and latched onto the underside This better bring me to the command building, work smarter baby The jeep lurched forward, Bishop watched the drivetrain spin dangerously close to his crotch. Good thing sneaking suits enhance grip strength

The jeep pulled up to the command building. The driver and passenger hopped out “And then I said: shoot her, I barely know her!” “I don’t think you know how that joke works” “Whatever, I don’t see you at stand up night” Bishop rolled out from under the truck and climbed into another vent. He dropped down into a dark room. He tapped his ear and turned on his comm link “Emma, I’ve penetrated the compound” “Gross, you better have asked first” Emma groaned Bishop sighed “Well-“ The door opened and the light turned on. A balaclava wearing grunt steeped in whistling. Bishop slipped into a corner and cut off comms, he pushed himself tight against the wall. The grunt sat at a computer and booted it up

A can fell from the shelf next to Bishop, the grunt turned his head towards him slowly. Before he could react, Bishop dashed forwards and spin kicked himself tight against off the office chair. The Grunt sprinted up and threw a punch, Bishop grabbed his arm and him tossed him. But the grunt countered him by flipping with the throw and landing on his feet. He chopped bishop in the neck and knee’d his gut, and then face. He threw bishop against the wall and threw a straight, Bishop dodged and his fist went into the wall. Bishop got behind him and jumped on his back, pulling him down into a choke “You like that bitch, Yacht Lyfe” Bishop spoke into his ear in a rather out of character moment. The grunt made a time out symbol and returned the code phrase “What? You’re the…oh god, just my luck”

After the “Rocky” start with {{user}}, Bishop was given a uniform, he ditched his sneaking suit and tried not to look uncomfortable changing in front of another agent “Sorry, I’m not the best at working with other agents. And anyway, you guys all look the same. All balaclavas and khaki” He pulled up the combat pants up his waist “Don’t ask about the tramp stamp. Long story”

Bishop turned to {{user}} in the PMCs uniform “So, do I look the part? I’ve been told I could model so I should be fine” Bishop struck a pose, before catching himself and returning to a more stoic, professional stance
