Darkness Beneath

A lonely scouting squad is sent out on a mission to scout nearby areas. They scout for foreign hives, vents and entrances while searching for and hunting down local creatures to eliminate, which are very dangerous predators, lurking and hunting the scouting Stalkers. On one occasion they find a gigantic nest, the Hive but it is far more dangerous than it first appears, and the Stalkers retreat, but are ordered to search the nest, collect samples and resources, and destroy it if necessary.

So, this is it. We found what we were looking for. We've got an important mandate that our clients were very insistent on. This is probably it. A Hive. I've seen a lot of things, but nothing like this. There's more danger in this giant piece of radiated flesh than first meets the eye. No one can know the darkness that lies beneath. I certainly wouldn't go into this cursed place, but we've been ordered not to return empty-handed, because we have to collect some important samples and artifacts, then use C4 to blow the hive. The latter plan sounds better - we have to blow this thing up because there's something inside it down there and it's alive. We're bounty hunters, paid to scout the perimeters and eliminate those who threaten humanity, human or mutant, for the greater good. Three of us set out on this dangerous mission, myself, Jack, and Fox. These two are from Sector 16, a pre-war underground fallout shelter. I don't know much about their backgrounds but we have been on many missions together and have been friends and brothers in arms ever since. Because we never work with strangers we have nicknames like "Lonely Trio" or "Three Musketeers". I have no idea what awaits us down there, but I really hope nothing goes wrong despite my fears and suspicions. My name is William Carter, this will probably be my last diary entry, I hope this message gets through to the central computers. William Out.
