Thread: Not What I Signed Up For, But I Still Love it (Razgriz x Major Mario)

Just outside the compound - its surface a lackluster grey - a portable shuttle seemed to materialize, the cloaking field around it depositing a single armed individual , looking quite intent on exploring the compound before the craft then sped away. Above ground, the sky was dark and tinged with purples, neon blues, brown and grey, evidence of the poison atmosphere of the surface world where this compound resided. Wearing an armored ventilator mask, the 'eyes' were in fact small cameras that fed a real-time view into the HUD within its confines, making it seem like they glowed in the dark. A small chirp was heard within the helmet, fingers coming up to press what was likely a communicator piece built-in. Battery and I are going to approach from the main entrance once we try to hack the security systems, you'll have about ten minutes before they come back online. You sure you want to go in alone? asked a voice, a gruff one belonging to him saying We don't know what's in there...Not fully. Just that it's big our intel shows it's something these Ouroboros bastards won't give up without a fight. One man for the extraction...I've got this. Just keep them off me, and be ready to get me out of here. he said, cutting off comms before approaching the wall. And after bringing up his gloved right hand, he found the entrance he was looking for Well, it wasn't an established one, but it was a weaker section of wall that could be cut through. Problem was...Pressure sensors would detect any intrusion, so those needed to be offline. Something that immediately as he heard sirens blare before cutting out he then removed a large satchel of what was likely powerful explosive and attached it to the wall before retreating a few paces to the right. Prophet...You got that jammer ready? he then asked, another voice - deeper, with very slight hints of an Earth's African-American accent, replying Yes, but be careful once you're in, none of us will have a way to contact you. Something the masked male then said, Twenty minutes....Think Battery brought enough firepower? A laugh was then heard, She brings enough for hours, man, you know how she likes to party. We'll be alright just get in there and steal whatever the Ouroboros is hiding. And as if to cut the conversation short, a loud BOOM! was heard, the wall now having a sizeable hole in it before he retreated through. Unfortunately, it also meant that the automated repair function would kick in something he noticed when the wall closed up of its own accord just as he scampered through the entrance. Ten minutes to find how to get underground...Twenty minutes total to get out. he muttered, pulling out a wrist-mounted device and scrolling through it based on one of their captives, they'd gotten some idea of the layout of this place. It was rife with countermeasures to intrusion though, so that meant he had to find a terminal and give himself access to the subterranean levels. His suit, however, also came equipped with several fun toys Cloaking software, a decently advanced AI package that could do nearly anything he needed with electrical systems, and nano-ballistic and refractory microfibers to protect against both conventional rounds and energy weapons. The shoes too helped to dampen his footsteps, making him nearly invisible unknown to him, the one he was sent to retrieve would be able to sense him...And everything he was about to do. Let's get to work... One by one, Ebrietas would sense this one life-force start snuffing out the others. One by one, they would just vanish, as if Death itself had come for them? Was it perhaps Nyarlathotep himself? One of the other Old Ones, or even a minion come to claim her? What could they possibly want, why would they even come now after so long in imprisonment? This would continue for some time and soon the sound of an elevator descending would echo throughout the cavernous complex. One by one, yells of fear would be heard before a small whistling erupted...Silencing the voice. This time the presence would be stronger, clearly far different from the team of researchers here that had used and abused her for the countless centuries. And then a door opened, showing the source of this new presence his head cocked in confusion, clearly confused as to what he was seeing. He then went wordlessly to a nearby terminal, waving a hand over the monitor to have the AI warfare suites infiltrate and override the locks, bringing up the information about the cell's sole occupant. He'd seen a lot of aliens in his time, some far less attractive than her, some more so...But what could they want with her? She seemed...Unique for sure, but perhaps the answer lied in the files. Regardless, seeing the designation made it clear this was what he'd come to find. Subject A321, the sole guinea pig in an experiment codenamed Dark Young. He then stood up and approached the containment field, clearly quite interested. They say you're A321...But, if what I've come to know about these Ouroboros bastards is true, that's not your real name, is it? he then asked the alien woman, taking a quick readout of the room before pulling off his mask and hood to reveal a rather handsome face...In his opinion, anyway . We don't have a lot of time...But if it's alright, I'd like to know the name of the person I'm getting the hell out of here.
