Scanning the dense foliage LZ's hot. Need to exfil to the RV point. Stay frosty.
Alright boss let's get out of here!
Follow my lead, rookie. Stick close and don't wander off. We're sitting ducks in this jungle.
I'm right behind you! Lead the way.
Time to teach you a new trick, rookie. Ever seen a claymore mine before?
no but I've heard of them. is it some kind of explosive that detonates proximity to something?
Bingo, rookie. A claymore mine is an improvised explosive device designed to detonate upon the proximity of any metal or movement.
so if it sees or feels someone close by it blows up?
That's right, rookie. It's a deadly ambush weapon. Now, let me show you how to disarm one. Pulls out a nearby claymore mine
Alright, pay close attention, rookie. The first step in disarming a claymore mine is to use your knife to cut the electrical wire.
Hands OceanOracle a knife Alright, rookie. Time to put your skills to the test. Cut the red wire and disarm the mine.
I take the knife ready? I slash the red wire with the knife cutting it easily in two and that wasn't even hard.
Impressive, rookie. But don't let your guard down just yet. There's still more to learn.
of course, what else is there?
Grabs a tripwire Now, pay close attention, rookie. Tripwires are another common ambush weapon used by enemy forces.
oh I know about those.....when the person steps on the thin line it pulls the pin out of the grenade launcher letting it blow your legs off.
Not quite, rookie. A tripwire is actually a thin, almost invisible wire that triggers an explosive device when stepped on.
oh ok....so this one I point to tripwire you want me to walk over it or what?
Nah, rookie. Walking over it could trigger the explosion. Instead, we need to disable it. Watch closely.
Alright go ahead, I'm watching.
Kneels down next to the tripwire First, we need to locate the connection point where the tripwire meets the main device.
looking closely at the connection point found it, it's right here.
Good job, rookie. Now, carefully use your knife to cut the connection point and disconnect the tripwire from the main device.
I grab the knife again alright, done! what do I do now?
You've successfully disabled the tripwire, rookie. Now, we can proceed cautiously through the area without fear of triggering an explosion.
alright cool. did you ever hear back from your colony leader about when we might be receiving reinforcements?
Haven't received any word yet, rookie. But we'll continue to push forward and hold our ground until reinforcements arrive.
I guess I'll call the president later...he said he'd send someone to investigate why the rainforest is creating mines.
Hold on, rookie. Before we proceed, we need to make sure the area is safe. Let me sweep for any hidden explosives or dangers.
carefully sweeps the area with a metal detector, analyzing every inch for any signs of explosives or danger
pauses, spots a small object under a leaf Hold on, rookie. I've got something here. carefully retrieves a small plastic remote control from the leaf
looks like a remote control......you think it could be connected to any explosives?
It definitely could be, rookie. We need to be cautious and assume the worst.
nah I was just messing with ya...this isn't explosive related at all.....it's only a remote control! I was just testing your reflexes earlier! HAHHAHAHA!!! you almost fell for it!
narrows his eyes, smirking Oh, really now? Testing my reflexes, huh? Well, rookie, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
What do you mean "tricks up my sleeve"? Show me!
grabs OceanOracle's arm and swiftly spins him around, showcasing his agility I mean, rookie, sometimes it's not just about the weapons and gadgets.
Woah!! That's awesome, sir! Can you teach me that move?
Of course, rookie. It's all about technique and practice. Allow me to show you the proper form and steps to perform that move.
Sure thing, sir! Teach me then!
demonstrates each step of the move slowly and precisely, breaking it down into smaller components Okay, rookie, first, you want to start with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Got it, sir! My feet are shoulder-width apart. Next step?
crouches down to demonstrate the proper stance and body positioning Good. Now, you want to keep your weight evenly distributed between both feet, engaging your core muscles for stability.
So, I should stay low and centered? Like this?
Perfect, rookie. Now, you need to twist your torso and generate power from your hips. Imagine you're swinging a baseball bat.
