Wolfy raids a meth lab run by quite a diverse team


[REDACTED], AKA WOLFY:

I was told exactly what my mission was well before it started. I was going to raid a meth lab on the outskirts of Los Angeles, set up in an abandoned apartment building. I knew the equipment to pack by instinct alone. That was because we were clearly dealing with close-quarters combat with a lot of enemy units and only me to fight them. I packed two 30-caliber magnums with automatic and semi-automatic fire settings. I packed two semi-automatic 12-gauge shotguns that could be wielded as pistols. I packed a semi-automatic 50-caliber rifle, 4 flashbang grenades, 12 miniature grenades and 3 stem cell syringes. At roughly 2200 hours, I was deployed. Just before entering the building, a nearby civilian almost gave away my position by trying to start a conversation with me. I informed him that this is not a safe place for civilians, and he left willingly with little debate.

I entered by breaching the fire exit. It had been reinforced with several new locking mechanisms, but luckily, my suit's stronger than the door. I was immediately faced with four Geckos. They kept running and climbing on the walls and ceiling to make it harder to hit them, and to get better vantage points to shoot at me. Luckily, their eyes are rather sensitive, so I used my first flashbang, making sure to close my eyes. Then I broke all four of their necks within a matter of seconds. As I made my way to the staircase leading to the floor that the meth lab was on, I encountered some more interference. The first enemy I encountered after the Geckos was a Bull. I used various insults go goad him into charging, did a front flip, grabbed onto his horns, and let go right after the strength of his charge broke his neck. Then I encountered several Kangaroos. They had their own martial arts style that revolved around acrobatics and powerful kicks. They tried to knock me to the ground, but multiple times, I dodged to the side, and bent their legs forward, breaking them at the knee. Then I finished them off with rounds from my pistol.

On my way up the stairs, I met some resistance from three snakes. They were next to impossible to score any hits on, even slithering all over my body as I tried to punch and kick them off. Luckily, they kept going for my head and neck, and I killed them all with quick, easy headshots. Then I got up to the floor that the lab was on, and was met by a Porcupine with light armor that had holes in it for the spines. I knew that ordinary melees weren't an option, and firearms might not be enough, so I used a miniature grenade on him. His body was scattered into pieces by the blast. That got the attention of several of their remaining guards. Two of them were rabbits, jumping and dodging around to make it difficult to hit them. I used my second flashbang. I went for the two bunnies first, snapping their necks. There was one guard that was unaffected, a Mole. When he charged at me, I fired my rifle. Two shots in the chest, and one in the head. The other five, all Foxes and Wolves, I took out with single headshots with the rifle.

Then I breached the door to the meth lab, and immediately used my third flashbang. That gave me the time to kill the remaining guards, as well as some of the technicians that tried to defend the lab alongside the guards. I used five more miniature grenades to destroy all the equipment, and proceeded to incapacitate and apprehend the surviving technicians. I escorted them out of the building. I was later informed that they were also manufacturing Night Howler poison on the orders of a terrorist hate group known as the Protectors of Sexual Purity, or PSP. They planned to poison the water in several relatively LGBT-friendly neighborhoods in LA. I had a feeling that my next mission would be to apprehend them.
