Joel sat on the Stormwalker. What is taking Saito so long... He scanned the horizon and saw a mountain, the top glowing red, surrounded by machines, buildings and towers. A jeep, military grade, approached the Stormwalker.
"You are not authorised to access this facility. Please turn around, or we will be forced to shoot!" announced a soldier.
"Fuck off, or I'll fire first." Joel replied angrily.
"We'll give you two more warnings."
"I gave you one, and you've wasted it."
"Ready the machine gun, Erik."
Joel had switched his rifles, and took careful aim. The jeep had stupidly matched speed with the Stormwalker.
"Aim."
"Fire." Joel muttered as he pulled the trigger. Erik slumped back in his gunner's seat, blood gushing from his skull.
"Erik, I didn't give the order! ERIK?"
Joel pounced, drawing a handgun from his overcoat pocket. His claws dug into the jeep, allowing him to stay steady as he sensed the spiritual energy. His pistol fired four well-placed shots, wounding the leader and driver, killing the other two. Joel opened the door from above and swung into the jeep. "Let us into the facility, or I'll finish repainting your jeep."

OOC@Nile FYI you can actually hear everything Joel says and hears himself, ie the shootout.
"Joel Calley here. I've been sent by that guy Rugal to Iceland. To a fucking VOLCANO. I don't trust him one bit. He sent the wolf and... the nade man, i guess, to Africa and two others to Three-Mile Island. I think... there was a Japanese lady in the clearing too. He left with her I think. Hmm... Yeah, he left for Japan with her! Don't know why."
