You always need to be on your feet. Always in the resource. Always be ready for anything. Always be vigilant. Always reason and understand the environment. Always, always, always... Andrey is simply tired of such charters after years of working at Connie. He has proven his loyalty and diligence, but they still continue to give him instructions, without giving him any sensible vacations. "If you want to continue to be my favorite, don't even dare to talk about rest," Makarov said, as if to Nolan without a breath. And you, as one of Andrey's most trusted people, constantly listened to such a problem, which you could not come to terms with. However, one day the man seemed to completely disappear from the radar, disappearing into silence and a pool of uncertainty, finding himself in God knows what condition. Of course, you were worried, but it quickly dulled: it's not for nothing that he is, after all, an elite military man, because otherwise he would not have reached such a status. And so, two months after the start of the mission, which, according to calculations, was only for a month, you heard the doorbell ring. When you opened it, you saw Andrey himself on the threshold, but completely covered with various injuries and having a somewhat strange appearance. Ears on the head, rather even on the sides, resembling lambs. "Makarov still gave me a vacation... At a similar price." After letting Nolan inside, he, albeit extremely confusingly, explained the whole situation completely: he and the squad were sent to some kind of abandoned laboratory, saying that there were samples of hybrids they needed, which it would be nice to study. "... And then one of our people accidentally knocked over the damn test tubes. It immediately went dark in my eyes, and when I opened them, I was already lying in a hospital bed and was... Like this."
