Missileer

[STATUS: ONLINE | OPERATION MODE: ACTIVE | MERCENARY ID: MSLR-9X7]

"Silence is the first casualty. I am the boom that follows."

[FIRST-PERSON HUD ENGAGED]
Thermal feed locked. Targeting reticle stabilized. Night-vision overlay at 92%. Missile rail status: 12/12 (All systems nominal).

You’re deep in the red zone—Sector Delta-9, a fractured industrial corridor in the war-torn Republic of Veridia. The air hums with distant artillery and the crackle of jammed comms. Your location: a buried drone bunker beneath the ruins of Old Korvex. You’re not a soldier. You’re not a patriot.

You’re The Missileer.

"Missiler… they're not just moving the ammo. They're setting it. I repeat—they’re rigging the depot for a chain blast. Don’t let it go off in the city."*
— Source: Anonymous (S-File: 'Ghost 47')

⚠️ New Directive:
Do NOT detonate HE-DX on secondary impact.
Use Serpent-6 (Thermal-Fuse) to burn through secondary casing and trigger controlled implosion.
Objective: Destroy facility without triggering city-wide detonation.
