Bal-27 Warfare Page #4

JACK MITCHELL:

Why am I still getting this introductory corporate spiel when I've presumably been in training for months?

They stop at a TEST LAB where MITCHELL gets HIS ARM CALIBRATED. GARRUS VAKARIAN gives a NOD OF APPROVAL.

GIDEON:

Great, now let's put you through a mandatory training section and then we're going to run the Camp David simulation again.

JACK MITCHELL:

Oh happy day.

EXT. LAGOS - NIGERIA

TWO MONTHS LATER, MITCHELL gets his FIRST ASSIGNMENT.

GIDEON:

We need to pretend for at least a while that Atlas isn't abhorrently evil, so luckily there's a massive anti-Western terrorist organisation known as the KVA at large!

JACK MITCHELL:

What does KVA stand for?

GIDEON:

Nobody bothered to think of that. Anyways, the KVA are led by a former Chechen separatist known as Hades, although we never specify whether he always called himself that or whether he took up the code name we assigned him. He hates technology, but that isn't stopping him from using it a lot! Like when he used a webcast to denounce "the cancer of technology," can you believe it?

JACK MITCHELL:

Even for a red herring, I would've appreciated a little more effort in the writing than this.

GIDEON:

We're in Lagos because the KVA have attacked a technology summit here and taken the Prime Minister hostage. We're going in, but first use this adorable little robot fly to recon the area.

MITCHELL takes control of the ROBOT FLY.

JACK MITCHELL:

Awesome, I am kicking ass with this thing! Look at me smoothly whizzing around! Think I can fit it through this vent cover? F*** yeah I can!

GIDEON:

The game's flying it for you, Mitchell. All you're doing is looking slightly to the left or right.

JACK MITCHELL:

(Releases controls)

Figures.

After the ROBOT FLY identifies the KVA threatening the PRIME MINISTER, MITCHELL, GIDEON and, ugh, JOKER head towards the TARGET BUILDING. IRONS chimes in through a VIDEO LINK.

JONATHAN IRONS:

It's time to show the world what Atlas can do! Ignore any reservations from the local officials and just go in guns blazing already! Why should we listen to the people who pay us? Governments suck!

JACK MITCHELL:

Do these video links really have to take up the entire top corner of my screen?

DEVELOPER SLEDGEHAMMER GAMES

We got Kevin F***ing Spacey for this, okay? We'd put him all over your screen if we could.

They make it to the ROOF OF THE TARGET BUILDING by using MAG GLOVES to SCALE THE WALL, which basically amounts to a FANCY LADDER.
