Chapter 1: Descent into Darkness
It was a normal day at the job, people sat comfortably in a rather large armored helicopter. Another breach in containment had taken place and a squad was being dispatched to deal with it. It seemed like they were a scouting team, being sent in first to assess and maybe deal with the situation before larger mobile task groups could set up to enter the facility.
Yes, this was a normal day but what wasn't normal was the silence in the helicopter. Andrew, a cadet, sat in awkward silenceas she did her best to not look directly at the man in front of him. Unlike the rest of the soldiers, This man -that they were instructed to address as Commander Wolff- was very out of place in the black and blue uniforms for the Cadets and Lieutenants. He wore a black trench coat, under of which you could make out heavy body armor and different combat tools (Knives, Flashes, Etc) but what really put everyone off was his mask. He wore what looked like a wolf mask, seemingly made of black iron. The two slits it had for eyes glowed red, signifying it was more than just for show. The filtration of the mask was in the form of the wolf biting down into a canister of unknown substance. Overall it was a rather unsettling mask. To top the thing off, it had a small "A" etched under the right eye slit, making it seemed that much more unseemly.
"You're part of Alpha squad." Second Lieutenant Richards spoke up, breaking the heavy silence that had befallen the Squadron. Wolff looked up, The red hue of his mask seemingly staring into the second lieutenant.
"Yes, I am. I assume you are Second Lieutenant Richards." He spoke softly and calmly, his words spaced out as if he had to think of what came after each word. He looked around the Vehicle. "First Lieutenant Welshore, Cadet Andrews, and Cadet Simmons, correct?" he spoke. Everyone answered a little differently, Welshore gave a curt nod of his head while Andrews rather nervously croaked out a "yes sir.". Simmons was rather bubbly towards it, giving a nod and a smile. Richards however, simply scoffed.
"So, Whats the great Shadow Leader doing with our lowly squad?" Richards' tone was quite obviously sarcastic, earning him a worried look from the cadets and a warning glare from Welshore. Wolff laughed softly.
"I don't mean to impose on your squadron but it seems like I cant take a vacation." Richards frowned at the answer, it didn't exactly tell him anything.
"Alright, Eta to till landing, 30 seconds." a voice over the headsets rang out.
" Looks like we're here." Richards almost growled under his breath. The helicopter landed inside of a large facility, many armored turrets sat on walls, seemingly abandoned, the checkpoints werent looking any better. A look of awe came over Andrew's Face.
"we have facilities this big..." She mumbled only to be patted on the back by Wolff before he walked passed her.
"This is just the entrance, the facility starts 2 miles down." He chuckled but almost as soon as he stopped chuckling his voice became darker in tone, his speaking became quick and curt. "we're dealing with a full containment breach. Our objective is to assess the SCPs in need of recontainment and extract Dr. Elaine Wolff." Andrews seemed to have perked up at that statement.
"Wolff? Like, your sister?" She asked. A mixture of worry and realization over her face.
"Wife." He spoke back, taking the lead. His walking sped up, his Weapon, A customized HK UMP 45 Complete with Infrared laser, Holographic Sights and a Silencer. Within minutes, the helicopter had left and the group was standing in front of the Elevator door. They opened and the group stepped inside.
"Last chance to back out." Wolff spoke out. A confused look came over the Squadron.
"They'd have our heads." Simmons answered almost as if it was a question.
"might be better than whatever happens down there." No one moved. A small chuckle came from the commander. "This is Commander Wolff, we are entering the Facility." with that, they descended down to the Depths of the earth.
Above them however, three military grade Humvee had entered the facility. They dropped of a rather large group of Lightly Armored Soldiers. One stepped out of the Group. "This is Chaos one, we have entered the facility."
