Very interesting so far, and I like the readable chunks you break it into. Perfect for work.

Roadblock sprung up out of his bed. The blast came from the motor pool.
He threw his pants on, and opened the door. Dozens of Joes were running up and down the hallway trying to figure out what was going on. The blasts kept rocking the building, over and over again. "Are we taking fire!?!" Yelled Tunnel Rat from down the hall. Roadblock held in the door frame, knowing if the building started to collapse that he'd have some support to make a decision. "No! It's coming from the motor pool!" Duke! He thought. The Joes collected outside the barracks. Half went to the armory to retrieve the weapons, the other half to the motor pool. "Roadblock! Where's Duke?!" Tunnel Rat yelled. Roadblock didn't acknowledge. He was worried about his friend. They got to the bay doors of the motor pool, and they saw a complete disaster. "We have to get the fires out! The fuel tanks will catch and blow if we don't!" Clutch ordered. A dozen green shirts were on it, grabbing the fire extinguishers. "Where's Duke!?!" Clutch exclaimed. They fought their way to the center of the bay, and laying in a pool of blood was Duke, and four green shirts. A portion of the chassis from one of the destroyed VAMPs was on it's side, trapping Duke. "NO!" Roadblock ran over and immediately used his massive frame as a brace. He lifted the chassis up about an inch. Tunnel Rat immediately crawled between the big man's legs and pulled Duke out from under the suspended debris. "I got him, you can drop the car!" Tunnel Rat picked an unconscious Duke up and ran out of the bay. Fire and debris smoked everywhere. At least half the VAMPs that Clutch repaired were now completely destroyed. The Joes ran around trying to put out fires, save vehicles and equipment. The other four green shirts were pulled from the carnage as well, and brought out to where Duke was laid down. Tunnel Rat handed off Duke to Lifeline, who was already prepared for casualties. His medical pack was opened to the burn trauma. He inspected Duke to find out if anything else was wrong with him. As he inspected, he paused. His look was that of surprise and confusion. What in blue blazes?

Beachhead ran up with the rest of the Joes, brandishing weapons.
"Form a perimeter around the motor pool. Stop anyone who's not one of us!" Beachhead was on a witch hunt from the beginning. Things were starting to make sense now. Or so he thought. "Where's Duke?!!" Beachhead snarled. "Beachhead, over here!" Beachhead ran over to Lifeline. His medical team was working on the green shirts. "What happened??!!" "It's Duke," Lifeline started. "Did the blast knock him unconscious??" Beachhead asked. The tough guy routine was dropped. Lifeline heard the concern in his voice. "Maybe...but....he's been shot." Beachhead's grip tightened on his rifle. "WHAT?!?"

"So far, what we can tell, the green shirts all shot at Duke. He was hit in the left lung once, and I believe the blast from the VAMP nearest to him knocked him unconscious."
Duke was laying in a bed at the medical ward. Lifeline stood next to him explaining to the onlookers what was believed to have happened. "What have you done, Duke?" Beachhead questioned. "Hey!" Roadblock stepped in Beachhead's face. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, SO BACK OFF THE COMATOSE JOE!!" Beachhead unwillingly stood his ground. Tunnel Rat's head popped up in between them. "Can we please stop this? We have to figure out what happened. Lifeline, where's the other survivor?" "He's in the next room." Lifeline said as he changed Duke's I.V. bag. The group moved out into the other room to check on the green shirt. Clutch stayed behind. "He was acting weird, Lifeline." He said as he stared at Duke. Lifeline looked up at Clutch. "I know. It's as if he knew what was going to happen." Lifeline finished replacing the I.V. bag. "Do you think he was behind the motor pool devastation?" "No." Clutch doubted himself. "Maybe." Clutch shook his head. "I think he knew more than he admitted." Lifeline chuckled for the first time in a while. "He ALWAYS knows more than he tells us. He does, however, ALWAYS take care of us. This just doesn't make sense." "Guys," Jinx popped her head into the room. Clutch and Lifeline looked at the door frame where she stood. "General Colton is here."

"Where is he?"
General Colton got straight to the point. "I want to speak with him." Jinx looked at Lifeline as if looking for an answer. "You can see him, sir, however he's in critical condition. His lung was punctured, and he is in a blunt trauma induced coma. We're waiting for his MRI results to tell us whether he has any internal bleeding in his head." Colton's demeanor didn't change. "I see." He looked around. "Were there any other 'survivors'?" This last question bothered Lifeline. "One, sir. He's conscious, but badly wounded. I suggest that..." "Let me speak with him, now." Lifeline hesitated and then explained. "Sir, he can barely speak. His face was badly injured." Colton didn't care. Lifeline led him into the green shirt's room. The man laid in bed, his head bandaged. His left eye, nose and mouth were showing. There were scars all over his face. "Soldier, can you hear me?" Colton asked. The green shirt barely nodded. "Who was responsible for this?" There was no response. The man could barely lift his arms. Colton turned to Lifeline. "Get this man on his feet so we can figure out what happened. In the meantime, get me his and the other three's dossiers so I can prepare eulogies for their families." "I'll take care of that." Jinx replied from the corner. She was feeling useless, and this was one way to contribute to a dire situation. "Good. In the meantime, I need to get to a SCIF (Secret Compartmented Information Facility) ASAP." He turned and started leaving for the administration building. Beachhead stood in the doorway. "Sir, there's something you should see."

"I don't understand. How could he do something like this?!" Tunnel Rat blurted out as they watched the security feeds.
General Colton, Clutch, Roadblock, Sci Fi and Jinx were huddled around the terminal as Beachhead ran the feeds. "Duke led these four green shirts into the motor pool bay, as seen here," Beachhead pointed out. "You see him pointing to specific VAMPs in this feed, and directing the green shirts towards the EXACT vehicles that happened to contain VBIEDs. "You don't see how the VBIEDs were planted, but I suspect that these three green shirts carried them. The fourth green shirt appeared to not be in on it, and was the one who opened fire on the other three, plus Duke. He is the survivor in the medical ward. General Colton finally looked visibly upset. "Duke returns fire, but is a victim of the blast before he can address anyone specifically Beachhead continued. "There are blind spots in the feeds which I wish we could see, but as you can see, General, the only one trying to save the vehicles was the green shirt in there." Beachhead looked at Colton, as if waiting for a reply. The room was silent. It stunk of betrayal. "Get me to that SCIF, Beachhead." "Yes, sir."

Lifeline tended to Duke, and the green shirt. He kept going back and forth between the two rooms.
"I came as soon as I heard." It was Gung Ho. The giant cajun man was concerned. "What happened?" Lifeline wiped the scars from the green shirt's face. Most of them looked fine, however a few superficial scars looked fresher and needed more care. "Duke blew up half the motor pool, killed three green shirts, and almost got this guy too." Gung Ho took it as a joke at first. "No, really, what happened?" Lifeline looked at Gung Ho with a stern look. "That's what Beachhead's saying." Gung Ho was on weapons detail. When the Joes came to the armory for the weapons, he handled all administrative duties until everyone got what they needed. After cleaning things up, he was finally able to get to the medical ward to see Duke. He didn't believe it either. "There's no way Duke did all that. And if he did, he's got a good reason." Lifeline shrugged his shoulders. "Beachhead's got evidence on video." He didn't like that response. "I'll let Beachhead explain it to me, then."

Beachhead paced back and forth, waiting anxiously for General Colton to reappear from the SCIF.
"You're wearing the rug out, man. Calm down." Clutch told him. Beachhead had a lot of anxiety right now. He had mixed feelings as to what was going on. He kept pacing. The latch to the door finally unlocked. General Colton emerged from the SCIF with a purpose. "Beachhead, I need you to get a security detail together for both Duke and the witness. He turned to Clutch, and gave him a piece of paper. "Clutch, I need you for a special pick up, ASAP." Clutch looked at the piece of paper, looked back at Colton, nodded and left. "Beachhead, let's get back to the medical quarters."

Tunnel Rat sat behind the security video terminals and kept fast forwarding and rewinding the security footage. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and was looking for answers.
"Man, are you still in here?" It was Roadblock. "I can't believe that Duke killed 3 green shirts, and almost a fourth." He kept rewinding and fast forwarding. "I'm telling you, Tunnel Rat, there's something not right about the situation." Tunnel Rat kept clicking on the controls for the security feed, but was looking at Roadblock as he spoke. "I mean, it doesn't make sense that Duke cleared out the motor pool before this happened. He sent everyone back to the barracks." Just then, something caught Roadblock's eye. "Tunnel Rat, rewind that!" Tunnel Rat attempted to rewind, and ended up fast forwarding. "Oops, hang on." Roadblock kept his finger on the timestamp in the corner. "Here!" Tunnel Rat didn't get it. "Big deal, it shows the three green shirts getting shot. We know that." Roadblock's eyes grew bigger. "They were shot in the back. Duke only returned fire in the feed of him. And look! The timestamp shows that Duke shot AFTER these three were shot in the back." A light bulb went off in Tunnel Rat's head. "That means that Duke didn't kill these three....but he still let them in." They looked at each other. "Man, I'm even more confused now."
