troubles ahead

Leaving the next day you travel in the second of the groups trucks with a Private Giana Valentine, who is a bubbly blonde bombshell who got the virus early and came out the other side looking like a supermodel, you have seen the before pics and wow she has changed a lot on the body front but not the mind department according to Gabby who says she was always a super friendly chatter box. " so Tim what is it like to have a really big dick and be all like hulk sort of thing".

Trying not to cry as this is not the first awkward question she has asked, " well I am not really sure about the dick thing it still felt the same it was just bigger the hulking out thing was really odd". The journey does not get any better as you aunt gives everyone the bad news, " ok ladies we are out of luck team one found everything they needed but one very key part so we are still a go ". Sighing along with everyone else you carry on driving and an hour and a half later reach your target a massive factory and storage plant on the edge of a city you do not want to go near.

Dismounting from the trucks you are sent to take the point as everyone forms up and your aunt has put you in front as if the group encounters any freaks you can deal with them in a close quarter environment, which this place is going to be. You have got a fully automatic shotgun with a 20 round drum mag so it will not be a fun time if it does happen for a freak if you do find any, " Tim takes lead rest of you specialist formation, protect Nadia and hopefully we can find the bloody thing quickly". Moving off you approach a building when Gabby asks a question, " just what is this thing we need to find anyway mam". Thinking that is a good question as you are going to have to carry the thing if it's heavy. " Nadia if you will enlighten the group".

Nadia is the tech assigned to your group from the dam and like the other women their has been stuck inside for the whole duration which is not as fun as it sounds, hell she would have not been let out of not for the urgent need of parts you think, " of course Captain we need to locate a DXV52P6SS unit without it we cannot regulate the flow of power we generate at the dam, so without it even if we got the station running again the second we turn it on we would blow every circuit and fuse in town and they would be melted to the point of having to replace the lot, not just a fuse but the fuse box and maybe even wiring as well, funny thing is any other part and we could have operated at a lower output but not this baby".

Laughing you are about to ask how big it is when the world goes mad an explosion sends you flying and then a white light blinds you and a sound just makes your ears ring like crazy and all you can do is hold your head till the pain goes away and you can see again. Rolling over you see a massive burnt patch of ground were you were standing and Gabby and Nadia to you right hiding behind some crates and realise your aunt, Giana and Private Carter are missing, struggling to move you call out, " Gabby what the hell happened and why do I fill like I got hit by a car".

Gabby sees you are alive and screams for you to get to cover to your left, crawling to it, Gabby then explains what you missed or should say got hit by, " some nut job used a grenade launcher on us, first one was a frag round which landed at your feet, then we got hit by flash bangs and stun grenades but as I was at the back I was able to pull Nadia out the way but they got the others before I could help them, they dragged them into that building their but we cannot get near as they have someone on overwatch stopping me from moving."

Leaning round the corner of the crate you can see a barricaded up window with what looks like a firing slit in the middle seeing it is impossible for the person to see you from that angle. Moving further to the left you are able to reach the front of the building after a short jog. The building only has one door on this side and all the windows have heavy shutters over them apart from the one with the sniper, trying the door you are surprised to find it opens, pushing it open and hiding by the side of the door. Once no gun fire comes you way you poke your head round the door frame, finding the corridor empty looking inside you find no one waiting, this is very odd why leave the door unlocked and unguarded you wonder.

Entering you check your corners and have a few options, stairs that lead up to the next floor and the person on overwatch, a right hand turn and a left hand turn. Moving forwards you reach the junction and see hand prints on the wall leading to the right as if someone tried to use the corner to hold on or something.

What you do not know the people who should be guarding the door are the ones who threw the grenades and caused all of this.
