***As night fell, the gunfire and explosions on the battlefield continued to drop, and before he fell asleep in his sleeping bag, Yacine wrote a few notes in the notebook hes been using for some time***.
''Today I remembered something that had been going through my mind for years, in 2018 during my first operation with the cell 61 in the canals, I had followed a good guy, he was a heavy if I remember correctly... We had to recover someone in this place, it was a kind of torture room not far from a hangar on the battlefield, we had to recover information, a rebel had been captured and exposed to some kind of weird test that included torture... When we got there, we couldn't save him, it was already too late, I still remember that the skin on his body was abnormally dark, but there was a USB key, we had inserted it into one of the terminals in the room, and on a screen was the guy we were trying to save with 2 NPUs and a Helix, the Helix had made him ingest something, and the NPUs took charge of torturing him right afterwards, . ...his fingernails removed , one by one . A Combine patrol had eventually burst into the room where we were. We quickly gathered everything into a box and ran towards the base to secure the informations. We encountered some complications, and the box containing the information was thrown into the canal river to prevent the Combine from recovering it. What's funny is that I still have the key to the box in which we had put the USB drive. However, I don't know where the box is or if it can still be found. And now that I think about it, I still don't know what the Helix had made that poor rebel ingest. I had never seen anything like it. I've heard rumors about the use of biological weapons and outbreaks in other rebel cells, but that was a long time ago. Today, it's not a problem, but if something like that were to happen one day, it might be good for me to remember where we threw it. With a bit of luck and some searching in the canals in a few days, I might be able to find it, but it will take some time. I'll also need to remember what the box looks like.''
***He puts down his pen, closes the notebook, and places it in his bag near his rifle. Then, falls asleep, in his sleeping bag.***
