The underground research facility sprawled like a labyrinth beneath the frozen hills.
Labs lined the corridors and glass walls revealing banks of humming servers, bubbling vats of ether-infused serums, and rows of surgical tables where "subjects" had once been strapped down for dissection.
Scientists in white coats moved with quiet efficiency, scribbling notes on tablets, monitoring vitals on screens, oblivious to the storm brewing above ground.
Suddenly, the alarms blared.
Red lights flashed across every screen, and sirens wailed, echoing through the corridors.
"Intrusion alert!"
The researchers were confused "What? How? Activate defenses!"
But it was too late.
The first breach came from the main elevator shaft.
BOOM
The doors exploded inward in a shower of metal and sparks.
Smoke billowed out as figures in black suits stormed through.
They were clad head to toe in tactical gear, and some were carrying suppressed submachine guns or stun batons crackling with ether.
