![]() ![]() Lopez turned and saw Olympia and David turning a corner away from him.Ĭhancellor Anaxagoras felt ridiculous wearing the "hat". "Pejor, get on the line with the team closest to the heavy munitions locker and tell them to start equipping with RPGs and grenades. "Explosives in general should be effective," Olympia replied. "That's what we heard over the radio before communications were lost," he said. "Yes, of cour-" Lopez turned and looked at Olympia, then back at the aide. Something about statues with horns? Radio communication has been lost with two fireteams. "They're not making much sense, to be honest. "Sir, Third Platoon is reporting losses from the courtyard," the aide said. You have bigger fish waiting."Īn aide ran up beside the commander. "Consider getting rocket-propelled grenades and other explosive ordnance from the armory. "You might be surprised at what you're about to have to deal with, Major," Olympia said. Our equipment is more than fine for these little fuckers." "I don't have the manpower to arrest you, but I sure as hell won't sit here and listen to you tell me how to do my job. "That's about goddamn enough from you," Lopez said. Additionally, I would suggest you equip-" "We are going to the woods outside the Site," Olympia said. "You dddddddon't have to understtttttand it, Commander," David stuttered, "but that's what's ggggoing to happen." "Awfully quiet there, Eskobar," Lopez sneered. Well, especially more than some of us do… Maybe more than we do.ĭavid pondered that last part. ![]() But the Intruder was very specific that these two had to survive. I am not at liberty to discuss why."īullshit, Olympia, David thought you have no idea why, any more than I do. It is…specifically vital that you rescue these two individuals. A researcher named Storm and a prisoner named Nexer. There are two living, uninfected individuals in the basement your men will overlook them if you don't search it specifically. "You want help evacuating civilians? Fine. If you really want to help, help with that effort." "Whatever the thing is, it'll be another stain in the middle of a big-ass crater in about forty-five minutes. We're securing all surviving personnel and evacuating," Lopez said. "I've already ordered the bombers to come level this place to the ground. We have to move quickly before it starts again or escapes." "The infected in the building may be gone, but the thing controlling them isn't, and it'll keep spreading infected creatures around to propagate itself. "Now just wait a goddamn minute," he began. The footsteps behind them came from Major Lopez, Rho-1's commanding officer. MTF Rho-1 agents had largely secured what was left of Site 38 proper while the infected creatures were devastatingly intimidating against untrained researchers and scientists, they stood little chance against armed Foundation infantry units. Die for me."ĭavid heard a sound behind them as he and Olympia walked down the hallway. ![]() It seemed to exude from the creature's entire body at once. The Minotaur stalked towards Aziz.Ī voice boomed from the stone…thing, from no place in particular. Aziz's breath ran ragged, trying to suck in air through a collapsed lung as he dragged himself across the ground away from the stone creature. Usilov's neck broken, he lost consciousness instantly, blood streaming from nose and ears. It reached out with its fist once Usilov's head was within range and knocked Usilov down like a ragdoll with one concrete right cross. The statue rotated its upper body along the place where its waist should have been, spinning its upper half without moving its lower half. The rounds bounced off, taking a few stone chips with them. "Die, motherfucker!" he shouted, blasting five-fifty-six rounds into the statue-thing's upper torso at point-blank range. Agent Usilov's safety was already off and his rifle was on full automatic. The Minotaur ground the concrete joints of its legs to move it towards Aziz's supine body, where the agent was coughing blood onto himself. "A big-ass statue of Bane, with horns."Īziz was interrupted by an enormous stone fist crashing into his side, breaking five ribs and knocking him to the ground. "If you look at it at the right angle, does it not-" "Did you ever see Dark Knight Rises?" Aziz said. They were now standing in front of a two, two-and-a-half meter tall statue. "Khalif, come take a look at this."Īgent Aziz walked over to the other man. ![]()
