Day 5: The Search.Location: Russia *Specified* Outpost дельта-----------------
"Why are we stuck in this stupid outpost when we can be out there fighting? The Russians left this place for some reason and they ain't coming back any time soon and I'm sick of sitting around in this place we get at least three husks a day even they look bor...." Jonathan was cut off by a slap from Tracey who got sick of the constant complaining.
"Look just because there is nothing to do doesn't mean its not important, this could be a power source or the lower levels can contain supplies...we don't know." Tracey argued back but Jonathan continued on as he rubbed his head.
"Thats another thing: Why can't we get into the lower levels? Why is it on lock down? We should have access to it!"
"We can't get in because it is locked from the other side." David groaned under his breath as he played chess on his Omni-Tool his eyes fixed to the green screen, Seth turned from looking out of the window looking toward David away from the Blizzard.
"What did you say?" Seth asked his head tilted in curiosity as he placed his helmet on a desk next to him.
"Oh did I speak out loud?" David said as he looked up to the stern face of Seth "Right sorry... I done a scan on the system a couple of hours ago and noticed it came from a 'Sandra Anderesen: N7, Class: Biotic Vanguard, experimental. she issued the lock down but did not specify why, I've been running a code to hack into the lock down and open the lower levels thats why I didn't mention anything about it. Actually it is just about finished." David finished his sentence then his Omni-tool flashed up showing a layout of the system and halls.
"Experimental?" Seth asked but David shrugged his shoulders in response, 'Boss' grabbed his helmet and put it on. "Right David, Oya and Brandon your with me. The rest of you keep watch and Jonathan don't go to sleep on watch again." Seth finished as he and the others stepped into the lift and headed to the lower levels.
"Why would she issue a lock down if there is no signs of combat anywhere?" Oya asked.
"Russian Command requested our help due to the facility going dark and them having no available forces nearby. Maybe this 'Experiment' went wrong, we can ask her if she is still alive." Seth replied as he grabbed his shotgun and cocked it. Floor by floor the elevator crept down until they hit floor 12, the doors slid open and the scene was like a horror movie: Blood covered the floor and walls, bodies scattered around and bullets riddled the walls.
"Signs of combat but I cant see any enemy dead here?" Brandon called out as he slowly walked out of the elevator his rifle ready, Oya followed but turned into the first room but it was the same scene just the dead and silence.
"David, your with Oya find out what happened down here and see what else you can find out. Brandon your with me we're going down the halls." Seth called out as he exited the lift and continuing down the halls, Brandon sighed and followed behind his rifle lowered for the time being.
"What do you think happened here then Boss?" Brandon asked as he walked alongside Seth having to step over a body now and again.
"Like I said this experiment could have been a test for a super soldier and maybe it was this 'Sandra', maybe a new type of V.I that went rogue.....We will find out." Seth replied. Suddenly a shadowed figure darted down the hallway ahead of them and around a corner. Quickly Seth and Brandon gave chase leaping over dead bodies and turning corners trying to keep up.
"What we chasing?!" Brandon struggled to yell as he ran but did not get a reply fro 'Boss' as they sprinted down the hall, their charge came to a halt as they come into a large hall surrounded by work benches covered in tech.
"Wow this is David's wet dream." Brandon chuckled as he lifted his rifle, hit his flashlight and began to search desk by desk.
"I'm focused more on the figure that just came into here and could possible be the reason everybody is dead here, so focus!" Seth growled as he hit he flashlight to search the pitch black hall, metal rattling caused both Seth and Brandon to check but nothing was their each step was taken carefully.
"Brandon, can you see anything?" Seth asked but he got no reply. "Brandon?" He said again as he searched each lane but he could see nobody there. Seth looked up and saw a huge orb of blue light come rushing towards him and he knew what it was, he braced and prepared for the worse.
"Oh fuck!" He muttered as the Biotic charge smashed into him sending him flying across the room and into a desk, Seth felt his ribs crack and his arm was definitely broken but he dragged himself up from the steel floor and his shotgun raised but whoever attack him was gone.
"Come out so I can get you!" the injured N7 growled as he looked around the room.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" a female voice echoed in the dark. Seth got what he needed and knew where the voice was coming from, he spun round and fired but his gun was knocked to the side and a fist smashed into his jaw knocking him to the ground then a boot was placed on his throat.
"Now answer my question: Who are you and what are you doing here?" The woman asked as she twisted his boot on Seth's throat.
"Major Seth Morrel, N7. That's all your getting now who are you!" Seth gasped feeling the force of the foot slacken off his throat.
"Commander Sandra Anderesen and its good to see a friendly face." The woman answered extending her hand to help him up.
