En marchant dans le sombre couloir éclairé du néon, Vadim a abaissé son fusil. Même d'ici, il entendait les coups de feu et les explosions qui venaient de la ville. Dans des circonstances normales, c'est la ville qui aurait dû faire écho aux cris des fans - amis, familles et amants qui seraient ici pour soutenir les équipes et les joueurs jouant aux matchs de football. Mais maintenant, pour les citoyens de cette ville, un tel souvenir ne serait pas si lointain, et pourtant, il se sentirait si étranger. Au moins, c'est ce que Vadim pensait.
Il s'est arrêté une seconde, laissant Isabella et Serena passer. Ayant mis son casque, le demi-masque est toujours enroulé. Vadim a pris une balle de guarana, après tout ce qu'il aurait besoin de toute l'énergie qu'il pourrait avoir en ce moment.
Il s'est brouillé en marchant sur le parking. Logiquement, Melnikov a été le premier à quitter le vestiaire, donc il a été le premier à arriver. Il était à bord d'un fusil de chasse dans la voiture de tête, Isabella était le conducteur et Serena assis à l'arrière. Vadim a décidé de conduire la deuxième voiture. En faisant sauter la botte, Vadim a mis son sac dans le coffre. En laissant l'écoutille ouverte, il s'assit dans le siège des conducteurs et dit : « Le dernier dans la voiture ferme le coffre! » Enlevant ses ombres, il a glissé ses temples dans le pare-soleil fermé. Relaxant dans le siège et fixant correctement son masque au casque, Vadim attendait que tout le monde entre dans les voitures.

Bio/CV: Born to a dishonest mother and often-missing father, Daniel suffered family troubles from the day he was born. Around the time the family moved, his father had taken multiple penalties for participating in Solidarity protests, leaving him more absent than ever due to arrests. By 1990, the economic situation was slowly worsening from the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the toddler found himself traveling to the United Kingdom.
While there, Daniel's parents divorced due to his mother's emotional manipulation and abuse, ending up in his father's new home, half of his money taken away. Growing up in Manchester, he learnt English quickly to fit in with the others around him. He grew up in a poor neighbourhood but nevertheless determined to make himself stand out, through his nationality.
Daniel's pride got him into trouble, though to his perception, the cause was enough. Unwilling to take insults to his identity or family, he earned a name as someone quick to anger with the right words, throughout his school journey.
At home, throughout his younger childhood, his bitter father was pushed on by both his wife and those hostile to his presence. After seeing numerous issues outside of school, a young Daniel took matters into his own hands and asked a good friend if he could help.
Help he did- the surrounding neighbourhoods were notorious for their crime, whether or not organised, and Daniel knew numerous gangs roamed the communities. He did not know, however, that his friends were so close to those groups.
Questions were asked, and within a few days of Daniel reporting the verbal crimes, a fire had mysteriously taken place within the area, almost killing a family of six, as well as another where a shared adult home collapsed due to a blaze, crippling both men inside. It was found that what happened was definitely arson, yet, no suspects to be found.
With the case dropped, Daniel's father saw that one side of security was made. Attitude and parenting improved.
Despite his mother's lingering presence like the smoke brought on by a sympathetic criminal, Daniel ended his secondary education with GCSEs, and was wondering what direction he'd actually take in life. He had college forms, and his own interests outside of school- he enjoyed martial arts, as it served both his body and his social status, as well as reading what he could (though he started fairly late- his disordered childhood left little time or motivation for things like that).
Then a signpost, bathed in fire and headlines, struck his attention- the attack on the World Trade Centre.
Daniel never wanted to find his fortune in crime or dealing drugs, not like the friends he visited in prison sometimes. It was attractive after a good action film, but certainly not in reality. With that held in mind, he concentrated on a path into the military.
He joined the land forces as soon as he ended college, with high scores in a number of mechanical and practical subjects, allowing him to land positions as a frontline engineer in the British Army. He was put into the 3rd Mechanised Division, mostly operating as a cavalry member. Due to his newfound motivations driven by a realisation that his apparently close friends would easily forget him and an attempt to spite his mother, Daniel worked as hard as he could, forcing himself to sometimes work harder than necessary.
His exhaustion came at a low price of being called an "arse-kissing officer's pussy," to quote one man. The discipline of work did not translate to his socialization; a brawl broke out.
Naturally, he was punished with a warning and menial work outside of the fighting zones, but it seemed to be a stroke of strange, and yet cold luck. A few men in his organisation fell to fighting during Telic.
Telic finished, a later notation of his hard work led Mazlow into the first officer work so far, as a leader of a team. He remained in a cavalry role, but this time in Afghanistan, as part of Operation Herrick, where his job was to coordinate fast work forward of larger parts of his brigade, alongside reconnaissance elements. Being used to this from Iraq, Daniel did well, solidifying trust with his team, and with his superiors.
After Afghanistan, Daniel took to the Special Air Service, feeling confident and slightly disconnected from home. He never knew home, really, except among the mutual struggles he held in life. He met others like himself in the military.
The SAS took him on, with gruelling challenges to train him, as well as continued work under the service that remained in the Middle East, yet never questioning his orders.
Then, a final opportunity. He was seen as too useful and loyal for even just leading a SAS group, and Daniel accepted a far, far more secretive line of work.
