It's cold. So cold that if feels like your breath might freeze inside your lungs instead of on the way out. You've been assigned to the B-02 missile site. The grounds are unremarkable: plains and scrub, with a few small facilities near the missile silo. The barracks is large enough for about ten soldiers, with a fence surrounding both it and the silo. Two guards man a checkpoint on the north side of the fence.
You're not on the site itself, though. They aren't supposed to know you're here. Technically, no one's really supposed to know it's a missile base at all. If you look up its coordinates on a map, the site is part of the Arrow Creek K-12 School District. But you know better. Apparently, so does someone else. Your agency received an anonymous tip that someone would attempt to sabotage the ICBM housed in the base’s missile silo tonight.
The night air is chilly enough that you find yourself wiping the fog from the lenses of your binoculars periodically. You should’ve requisitioned a heavier coat, but last minute and all that. The moon is full, granting good visibility across the field, and your radio is tuned to the base’s frequency. It’ll be tough for anyone to slip by you, and if they do, you’ll hear about it. You hope they try it soon. The tip of your nose is numb.
Also, you're three hours into this watch, how are you feeling, other than cold?

OOC:
Have you ever been here before? If so, it wasn't with anyone else here; it's the first time you've been assigned as a team, although you'd certainly have known or at least known of each other before this.Also, you're three hours into this watch, how are you feeling, other than cold?
