It was the most horrific night anyone could ever experience. All of the bloodshed, the hideous monstrosities I faced every minute, and that guy, the one our "great leader" wanted us to capture. If only I wasn't stupid enough to take this job, I wouldn'tve had to go through this nightmare.
My name is Mike Ramirez, I am a member of the Echo unit in a company called "The Foundation". It is dedicated to paranormal research and the capturing and studying of any kind of creature that isn't exactly something you'd see everyday. I ended up taking a job as part of the military branch of this little organization thinking it'd have some good benefits... what a load of bullshit that was. All it's gotten me is a few new scars, to mind and body.
It started off as a pretty peaceful day, despite the fact it's Baltimore I'm living in. I ate my breakfast, got dressed and went to the Eastern Baltimore docks where most of our work takes place. I got my combat suit on and got my standard-issue Colt1911 handgun. The rest of the day went by pretty uneventfully. When the sunset came, that's when things really started up.
First, there was that cataclysmic earthquake. Alot of our equipment got fucked up and the power went out. Later, we started receiving reports of creatures showing up in large quantities over on Carnate Island, which was about 3-5 miles off shore and had an infamous prison known as Abbott State Penitentiary. Bravo unit came back with about 3 specimens. I'll never forget the look of those things. What they brought back were a type of creature that we called "the slayer". It just looked so disgusting, where it's arms and legs should have been, it had incredibly sharp blades. Also, it's head was dettached from it's torso and was held aloft by some kind of contraption. I think it was once human, but with it's form and the sounds it made, one couldn't help but wonder how it was even living. 4 hours later, a Coast Guard boat showed up from Carnate. There were two people on there, the officer driving the boat, and a prison inmate, who also just so happened to be out prime target. When they stepped off the boat, the inmate just flipped out and collapsed right on the spot. Two of the troops tied him up. He woke up after that and they wheeled him into the main warehouse. For some reason, I felt like that guy was gonna cause some serious problems for us later on.
Then, there was another earthquake and the power went out again. While I was rushing down a hallway in one of the warehouses, there was an announcement over the PA that one of the specimens became unsecured. The next thing I knew, I was staring it right in the face...
