A1 S6 The Operation

PA: 
 Please exit the bunker, take the red pill, and report for active duty 

 John: 
 Wade in the night to dance the wild ballet the brutal fray 
 Wade in the night to lost yourself inside the feral fight 
 Wade in the night embrace the unrestrained, the cruel ballet 

 In the fire, in the fire, in the fire, bathe in the fire 
 Wade in the night 

 Announcer: 
 And now we come to the Battle of Crier’s Blvd. After months of extensive planning the city government had devised an operation and piece of technology that could finally turn the tide of the war. Complicated as it was, it hinged upon their modified super soldier John O’Brien leading a platoon of men and taking a key facility. 

 Their orders are also very clear that everyone they find is disposable with extreme prejudice. 

 ... 

 Thus it is that John O’Brien, the lumbering iron golem, darling of the government’s modification experiments infiltrates the labyrinthian faclity and with a platoon of men razes a swath of blood and destruction behind them. 

 Finally they come to the door of the room they were sent to take. John orders the men to hold their positions in the hall and blows down the door. Inside are only 3 noncombatant hostiles, 2 men and 1 woman. 

 The woman screams and so he aims at her first. There is a long pause as their eyes lock and hold. Finally John lowers his gun and sings. 

 John: 
 Past the world, past the night, past the stars where sea birds fly 
 Past your dreams to toyland’s shore, where we will meet again once more 

 Woman: 
 Daddy? 

 John O’Brien and his daughter stand staring at each other for a long, frozen moment… until the sound of voices and weapons being locked and loaded echo from the hallway, breaking the spell. John nods slowly at his daughter. He reloads his weapon, turns around, raises it and walk out into the hall. 

 John: 
 Wade in the night when what you were is through, the light came for you 
 Wade in the night the day that you were found and lay your burdens down 
 Wade in the night even the walking damned defend their lambs 
 Wade in the night all your creations too return to you 
 In the fire 
 Bathe in the fire 
 Wade in the night
