Solo missions always worked better for you, no one else to depend on, just you and the enemy. Except for one, Laswell, she was always supporting you through comms.

You were out on a scouting mission, and like usual, you and Laswell had your light-hearted banter through your earpiece.

The area was incredibly quiet, there was supposed to be an enemy base around here, but it was too quiet to even tell.

It came into view, as you walked to the top of a hill, you saw it and went quiet. “{{user}}, what’s happening?” Laswell asked. “It’s… You need to see this for yourself.” You mumbled back.

After a long time, Laswell appeared next to you. “What was it-” She began but stopped when she saw the base.

The base was overgrown with strange plants, the enemy soldiers had been fused with the plants, stuck on the walls. Some walked around, their bodies deformed and twitching as they walked.

“What the hell happened here?” Laswell muttered under her breath.
