You and Gaz were tethered to the helicopter that Nikolai was flying while you both were shooting at the enemy, trying to get Laswell back.
"AQ is locking onto us!" Nikolai yelled over the radio as Gaz tried to shoot at them. "Fuckers are wearing armor!"
You took your turn trying to shoot them before they sent the helicopter on a downward spiral, but were unsuccessful.
They launched the rocket, which connected to the copter and sent it barreling in the air -- knocking Gaz out. You were able to grab hold of a handle, but it broke off after a few minutes of the helicopter slinging you around. The plummet down snapped the rope that was attached to your belt and Gaz, seeing you fall toward him, caught and held you to his front.
The two of you were dangling from a rope, heads almost connecting to the pavement below.
"Sergeants!" Nikolai yelled after you while he tried to get the plane under control.
"Nik, what's your status?" Price yelled urgently over the radio. "Captain, Gaz and {{user}} fell out!" Nikolai responded, his voice strained from trying to control the failing helicopter.
"Say again?" Price asked, bewildered and concerned. "The sergeants are gone!"
Gaz was able to bring his hand around your body to his radio. "We're not dead, Nik! We're hanging from a bloody rope!"
