As you walk out the door you remember you are stationed out in the sweltering heat of a desert. " Hey Mike wait up" you hear behind you, you turn around and see your co-pilot running up to you. "What's up?" You ask as he nears, " we got a new guy in the bird today, some special forces combat medic I think" he says. "On a routine flight?" you ask confused, the co-pilot shrugs and walks with you toward your BlackHawk on the tarmac. As you approach the helicopter you see standing there was a soldier in combat fatigues with an M14 marksmen rifle and a large medical bag, "you must be my unexpected passenger?" you ask. "Thats me. Sergeant Durrant" he says holding out a hand, "you plan on shooting anything from my bird with that?" you ask pointing to the M14.

Suddenly the BlackHawk gave a hard shudder and started flying erratically and dropping altitude, despite your best efforts the helicopter was still plummeting towards the ground, "brace for a hard landing" you yelled as you neared the sandy ground. The last thing you remember was someone screaming a name before crashing nose first into the ground, knocking you unconscious. When you come to you find yourself still strapped to your seat, you look to your left and see your co-pilot still there, you reach over and check his pulse: still beating, you look over your shoulder and see the two crew chiefs sprawled out on the floor and judging from the fact that they were still breath, also alive, but Durrant was nowhere to be seen.
