"Halt! Stop your vehicle right up ahead!"
As the RV approached the West Zone, a soldier appeared up ahead and signaled for Suzy to stop.
Suzy brought the vehicle to a halt and rolled down her window.
The soldier walked over, sizing her up with a stern expression. "The area ahead is currently under total lockdown. You can't go any further."
He then asked, "What are you two doing out here?"
Suzy replied meekly, "We're out executing a mission."
"What kind of mission?"
Suzy handed over her task form. The soldier flipped through it briefly before handing it back. "Regardless of what mission you're on, unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the zone ahead."
"Can't we even stay in this general area?" Suzy asked.
The soldier shot her a complex look, his tone softening slightly. "Look, I'm not trying to make things difficult or stop you from finishing your run, but this whole sector isn't safe. You should really head back."
