(Only Strider and me in this thread. It takes place during Reckoning, the final level of Crysis 1.)

"Where am I and why does it feel wet and look dark?" Kara wondered as she found herself in a room knee deep in water. From a distance, she could make out the sounds of explosions, an alarm and gunfire. Looking at her right, Kara noticed a dead body on top of the table. The body armor and clothing suggested it had been a soldier, saw several packets of ammo and an [url=http://crysis.wikia.com/wiki/SCAR]assault rifle[/url] besides the corpse. She picked the weapon up and noticed it's chamber didn't have ammo. Picking up some of the ammo, she reloaded the rifle and hefted it. "Chamber looks good. The barrel's clean and the magazine fits correctly. I'll take a better look at this after I figure out what situation I landed into."

"Where did I end up in this time? And my shoes feel wet." Louis commented as he appeared in a room knee deep in water. Looking around, he noticed a woman in front of him checking out an assault rifle. Once she was done with her inspection, Louis called. "Looks like I'm not the only one here. By the sounds of the alarm and the fact that this room has water reaching up our knees and still going, I'd say we're in either a sea cruiser, a carrier or probably the next Titanic."

Kara turned around at the sudden voice, aiming the assault rifle at the newcomer. She quickly lowered the weapon and felt a bit embarrassed at aiming it at another person. "You're an Interference like me. And yeah, we are in a ship. In fact, this room looks familiar."

In that instant, entered a person wearing a [url=http://crysis.wikia.com/wiki/Nanosuit]state of the art combat suit[/url] holding the same assault rifle model that Kara was now holding and aiming it at the two.

"[i]Nomad, do you read? What's the bloody hold up?[/i]" A voice sounded in the person's head. A radio communication that couldn't be heard by both Interferences.

They could heard the person in front of them though as he/she placed his/her two fingers on the right side of the head. Where the right ear is normally located. "Psycho, I found two civvies. I didn't know there were other survivors" A male voice sounded.

"[i]Other members of the archeology team survived? Nomad, take them with you for now![/i]" A female voice spoke through the radio.

Nomad nodded and looked at the two Interferences. He wasn't convinced these two in front of him were survivors of the archeological team from the islands. "Names."

====

"Our names? Well, what's your name?" Louis asked, incredulous. The sound of the safety being released told him that the armored man was not amused by his reply. "[i]Okay... This is what I get for improvising the same way Isaac did.[/i]"

"Louis Delgado." Louis sighed, saying his name. While he could easily reach for his M6C Magnum, he doubted he'd be able to take it out long enough without being shot.

"Kara Newton." Kara replied. "And you're Nomad. Don't look surprised, some of the men here spoke about you. I don't know about you but the ship is under attack and we need to keep moving before it sinks."

The armored man, Nomad kept his assault rifle aimed at the two for a short few moments. "Fine. But I'm watching you two." He lowered his rifle and walked ahead. "Keep close."

Kara sighed and kept her assault rifle out. "You heard him. Let's go."

Following Nomad, the three walked a bit before stopping due to an explosion in the hallway. Fortunately, the flames didn't reach the three. Once the smoke cleared, they resumed walking, passing by a destroyed staircase and towards the nearby jammed door. Nomad simply punched the door, ripping it open.

He also punched the next door open, quickly stepping back as he was shot. It hurt, but the armor suit protected him. "F***, I thought you were one of those things. But you made it, Nomad."

"Up here." Another voice called out and Nomad walked up the stairs.

Kara also followed but stayed at the base of the stairs. "[i]So we found the chief engineer. Good.[/i]"
