Had a really weird dream last night. During what looked like WW2, except worse and on a different world with its own countries, there was an old guy who wanted to escort a turtle through the wartorn continent to its native country. I think the turtle was famous for being old and was part of a travelling exhibit or something before the war broke out like twenty years ago, and had been stuck ever since. Since both the man and the turtle were nearing death, he decided to try to get it home. Most of the countries along the way were no-fly-zones, so he had to drive it in a special terrarium truck thing.
His government gave him a few soldiers for protection, as well as a diplomat type guy to hopefully explain their mission to anyone who tried to stop them, and negotiate if things got bad. Since it's basically a suicide mission, the negotiator was assigned to it by a political rival basically to get him out of the way, and the soldiers are all fuck-ups in their own ways.
My memory of the dream is starting to get fuzzy, but I remember one of the soldiers was a young guy who hated women, and another was a middle aged woman who had basically been in the war ever since she was a kid and was a war hero of some kind (I can't remember what she actually did to become a war hero), and of course they ended up fighting. They were being held up in the headquarters of a group of bandits at the time, just barely managing to negotiate their way through, and sitting in some kind of large storage closet, when the guy basically tried to kill the woman, and she smashed a picture frame into his face. This set off what looked like it would be a Mexican stand off, when some of the bandits ordered them to stop (I can't remember why, but they liked the guy that was injured, and were pissed off).
But instead of a stand off, everyone just kind of almost instantly died, since the woman picked up a shard of glass and killed the guy before he could be taken away, and the bandits opened fire. Two soldiers, a young man with glasses and a young woman with a ponytail, who were trying to cool things down, immediately got shot down by someone with a shotgun. The final two soldiers fought back, and managed to get the old man back to his terrarium car, however both soldiers died in the process. In the end, only the old guy and an old woman who had decided to tag along with him halfway during the trip, survived, and I woke up just before they reached the place where they were going to release the turtle.
