Subject Grace [Wraith]

[Queen-of-Horror]

It was obvious by now to her that Grace knew of them given Wraiths U-Device was lost and recovered by the hacker phenom. The problem came what was to happen next. Himura sent a message to Wraith to meet her in the warehouse, it was a room that was structurally too large to exist underground by natural means, held up by steel beams and hardened plasteel walls to give it a more futuristic and durable look. This room was a testing ground for something that Blu was working on, something that many would disapprove of but that would come with time.

Down below there were a group of scientists, including O.V., working on what looked like a suited tyrant, it was around 8 foot tall and hunched forward as if it was deactivated, on its shoulder was 132, its hard suit was red but it was also not a hard suit, it looked almost like bone. She was leaning on the railing a cigarette in her left hand and her phone in her right going through contact emails, many of them months old until she found the one she was looking for and held its place.

[«Wraith»]

"What the fuck is that?" He could clearly be heard as he entered. The moment he got to the location he was directed to the balcony due to her order to see him directly. He already knew what was coming, probably some beratement about the mission, specifically losing the U-Device and potentially compromising the mission. "Is that a fucking Tyrant?" He wasn't wearing his mask at this point the person he was trying to keep his identity from already knew so it didn't really matter at this point unless he was on mission.

He was obviously loud, and still mad at how things played out with the NEST 2 mission as well as the other things. "What the hell Sazon." His arm was outstretched in the direction of the thing being worked on.

[Queen-of-Horror]

"That is Dead Sight version 132," Sazon said and took a drag off the cigarette, she offered it to him.

"It was designed by the same persons who designed the 1300 program. You might be interested in that," she said and O.V. activated the abomination. As it came to life it let out a loud roar and turned on the scientists about to attack them when someone on the far end of the hanger whistled, it was a man who appeared mostly machine, he had white hair and his exposed eye was glowing red. He was slowly walking across the hanger as the DS132 turned to him, it was weaponless but still not harmless.

"I want to know its functionality based on what I started," she said recalling the first five Dead Sight units. After that she had no hand in the project, the DS132 began running toward the black armored cyborg who continued his walking pace, "it is superior to any life form I had my hands in creating when I worked for Umbrella and with weapons it is nearly unstoppable to any regular man."

The DS132 was in range, it put both hands together as if to slam them into the skull of the black cyborge who light lightning made his move striking it so hard in the abdomen it went off its feet flew back twenty feet and slid another ten. As it began to get up the cyborg was already closing on it and struck it across the face with a knee as he ran past it, sparks followed his feet as his talon like heel and toes dug into the ground to slow him.

"This is the reason for humanities progression in armor and the reason we continue to try to advance evolution without hindering biology and creating monsters. My father would use this to create monsters to destroy the world."

The DS132 didn't get up, O.V. and the scientists had deactivated it.

"What happened with Grace isn't my concern," she said finally looking at him, "my concern is what she intends to do now that she knows how we brought you back and knows of us. She is highly capable of ruining us and our goals. I'm not asking you to play nice with her, but I need to find a way to get her on our side... Or at the very least not want to murder everyone in this building."

[«Wraith»]

He calmed down when he heard her reasoning, he took the cigarette that was offered, taking a hit from it then passing it back to her as he leaned against the railing. 132... was that just a random number or had someone really developed a hundred and thirty two different variants of the Dead Sight Tyrant? "She's... pissed, for lack of a better word." He took a minute, "It's going to be hard to do, She still associates you with Blu-Umbrella of old, she's hated you since we were kids. I'm not sure that's going to ever change no matter what we do, especially now a days." He paused and crossed his arms, "We might not be able to convince her to not try and dismantle us. But I'm not going to let her if she tries." The work they were doing was too important, not only that but there were a lot of good people here that whether through ignorance or just plain spite, he knew Amy didn't care if she hurt or killed if her mission changed to trying to hunt them all down.

[Queen-of-Horror]

"If you cannot convince her then I will," Sazon said taking back the cigarette and took a hit, the scientists were now lifting the unit back to its feet.

"The man down there is known as Jack the Ripper, a nickname he gained as a child soldier before the outbreak. He was forced into war by a clone of Big Boss... To be exact a clone of George Sears and not the Big Boss of today. In 2014 he was involved in an incident in the middle east involving Bio-Terrorism and the usage of Mechs by a branch of Umbrella. He took on a generation 2 cybernetic replacement body while his own body was placed in cold storage. He's since abandoned his humanity in order to protect the world."

"That body he has now was designed by us based off his last known body, it has increased his already Hyper Lethal status to levels we've never seen in cyborg bodies. He is the only one of his kind yet there are others in the world who are working to create more like him. Just like there are others in this world still creating more like you."

That's when her tone changed, "the man who created the 1300 project is dead, Keto Serroth. The other man involved in the project was William Birkin, we wanted Annette because of her involvement as well but she is now dead. That's an oversight I can handle. Better dead than in the hands of Devil... Recent data however has uncovered the true creator behind my fathers evils."

She handed him her phone it was on the email she was looking at before, "that is from a few months ago, someone reaching out for aid to Jessica White. I glossed over it, I can't save everyone and they weren't using the proper chain of command. However..."

She reached over and swiped left on the phone moving another window into view, "that is the man I am looking for."



"Questions?"

[«Wraith»]

He took a moment to listen, to the entire speech, she like a lot of other researchers he's worked with was rather long winded but it came with the territory. He wasn't too enthused about her attitude with Annette but considering the high possibility that they only had a work relation it was understandable. He listened to her talk for a moment before looking over the email and then the picture. "Who exactly is he?" It was really the first question that came to his mind when he was asked if he had any.

[Queen-of-Horror]

"That is what I would like to know as well," Sazon replied.

"There are no records of him in any of my fathers databases nor have I ever personally dealt with him, yet, his research has been included in projects outside of Umbrella, dating back to the late 1800s. He has some sort of involvement with James Marcus and Spencer. Regardless, Devil is hunting him apparently and has been after him for a decade by the looks of it."

She reached over and swiped the phone again, "two hours ago someone tripped every sensor in the Bunker. A facility used by Umbrella in the Cold War to protect their top researchers during several assassination attempts by rival orgs. That man and his guards are somewhere in that facility, I can only assume Devil will be after him."

[«Wraith»]

"That would make the guy easily over 200 years old. You think he might be an altered in some capacity?" That word had caught on like wild fire, possibly the only good thing Arix ever did in his entire life. He took a moment, "This must be different then most missions if you're personally briefing me on it." He trailed off for a moment, "So what's different?"

[Queen-of-Horror]

"He is absolutely some sort of meta-human. Not sure how or what, but he's achieved the one thing Spencer wanted to achieve," she said flicking the spent cigarette over the side and took her phone back pocketing it, "this mans research is tied to my fathers creation and the creation of Kasami Kiman. More importantly, I need this one alive."

"Consider this a redemption story," Sazon said turning around and leaning on the railing, she looked over at him, "and no, I'm not doing this because of what happened to Birkin, your skill set just makes this job less risky given what we've seen from Devil so far, I can imagine they'll send some force of tyrants after the man."

[«Wraith»]

He listened for a moment while staring at the picture before the phone was taken back. "Makes sense. So solo mission, or am I taking my unit?" He spoke, not really expecting an answer in return. He was hoping for solo, he had lots of stress and steam to blow off and he could do it if DeViL was there with Tyrants and he didn't have to worry about the safety of his men while on mission. "Next question is how soon?"

[Queen-of-Horror]

"That's up to you," she replied, "asap. If you're not interested I need to know so I can put someone else on it. The longer we wait the less chance he has of remaining out of the enemies hands or remaining alive."

They had reactivated 132 again but this time it was docile and began following the researchers as they walked it out of the hanger. O.V. and the researchers were talking loudly but everything they were saying was in Russian. Another group moved into the hanger almost immediately dragging supplies with them to set up a firing range by the looks of it.

[«Wraith»]

"I'll take the mission alone then." He finally stopped leaning on the railing the Tyrant's docile nature... something about it disturbed him. As Sazon explained their time table he nodded, "I'll get ready now then then head out. Have Nighthawk get the chopper ready." He turned to walk away and then looked back, "Shame you don't get in on the action anymore, could be just like that first night we met."

[Queen-of-Horror]

"I don't need combat data on me to be exposed to people who would use it again me," Sazon replied to him, "good luck."

Sazon headed out the door and texted a message to Two to get transport ready to go. She headed for her office to gather a few things for something she planned on working on at that moment when she was stopped in the hall.

"We've a report that Tyrant is gathering soon."

"Keep me informed," Sazon replied and kept going, "what are you going to say Amy? How will our relationship go forward?"

Outside Abandoned Umbrella Facility Drop Off Point

"We'll be arriving to LZ shortly, get ready for all hell to break loose when we get there." Wraith was the only one in the chopper, he was wearing his full suit and checking over his guns as the pilot spoke to him, "No, hover around here Nighthawk, I'll take the rest of the way on foot." "You sure about that cheif?" When there wasn't an answer he didn't argue, "Alright Wraith, I'll land, just hit me up when you need evac." There was the sound of the bay door opening and the helicopter blades as well as the wind. "No need. Just go and I'll call for extraction once I have target in hand." He stepped out of the chopper, With Nighthawk calling him crazy among other things before he landed on the ground and the chopper flew off. He checked his head then took off running full speed towards where the updated location marked on his helmet.

Within a few minutes he was at a vantage point where he could see the entrance to the facility while still in the tree line keeping out of line of site. He observed everything, letting his hud update information in real time of how many enemies there were and where each was located.

[Queen-of-Horror]

The path set forward to him was clear. The Bunker, as it was known, was a above ground facility made of concrete and was two stories tall. It was surrounded by a rusting and decaying iron fence. There was a single vehicle outside of the building that was a modern style Jeep. Beyond the gates would be a stone path leading to the door. The inside of the building was mostly old and dusty not having been disturbed for decades until this point.

The windows were all covered with the same protective bars, there was only one way in and one way out from the look of the building. Roof access would be impossible due to it being shut off from any kind of climbing access.
