I am quietly waiting under some overgrowth for two days and I have yet to see my target. My rations are running low, so I am forced to skip meals. I feel cramped staying prone at my current position. I would love to get up and stretch; however, risking the possibility of being spotted by some Thrax soldier is not worth it. And the only thing keeping me from boredom is quietly writing down my logs.

My commanding officer told me it would be a quick and straightforward mission: kill the Thrax officer. Instead, it has been a discomforting two days of playing the waiting game. Perhaps the boys from intel received some bad info or maybe I missed my target. Actually, these bloody Thrax look all the same, so it is hard to cap the right target. The only information about the Thrax officer was rather obvious: he's the big shot at the nearby Bane fort. Nothing about a missing eye, a distinct scar or whatever body markings that would at least give me something to work with.

With this sketchy information, I concluded to shoot any Thrax yapping out orders.

I still do not know why I became a sniper. Maybe the brass were impressed that I could hit my targets with the first shot or maybe it was my conservative nature, since I always had two or three extra magazines after an end of a fight; however, I honestly saved up my ammo so I could have some leftover cash to buy extra rations.

Anyways, I think I should give up being a... hold on. There's a Thrax barking orders like my commanding officer, which is enough for me to take the shot.
