Chapter One: The New RRTS
John Grimm, Sam Grimm, Sarge and the UAC Facility do not belong to me but Tessa Rains, her team and the forensic scientists do.
Enjoy!
Please R&R!
The red light came on and the contents of the transporter chopper went silent. Clips were punched
into rifles and minds focused. She kept her head down, eyes sharpening on the situation ahead. She
couldn't bring herself to tell her men that only one man made it out alive from the last RRTS that had
responded. Two survivors out of ninety-three. UAC must have been doing some weird things up
there if it wiped out eighty-four scientists and seven marines. But that matters is that we get
the research and protect the scientist investigation team who are in charge of finding out what
happened. The chopper bumped down onto the helipad and they moved out. The scientist team
stood near the elevator waiting looking nervous holding forensic bags. She stepped ahead of her team
and over to the four edgy scientists.
"I'm Sergeant Tessa Rains. Me and my team are in charge of keeping you guys safe down there.
When I say do something, you do it or you're on your own."
Tessa's team levelled up behind her as she waited for the response. There was a hesitated nod from
each scientist.
"Good."
She raised her rifle in one hand and turned her head to the side.
"Check your weapons, men."
She checked hers too, two nine millimetre Uzis in the underarm holsters, pump action shotgun on the
left thigh holster, desert eagle in the right belt holster, and assault rifle over shoulder with clips in
several different pockets covering her person. The sound of cranking metal followed by Tessa pulling
one of the scientist's off the raising ground of the elevator. Then just as she stepped towards the
elevator door a bullet shot past her head and ricocheted off the door to the ground. Her team turned
and aimed at the shooter.
"You can't go down there!"
Tessa turned and walked through her men towards the stranger.
"I'm guessing you're John Grimm then?"
"Good guess."
"So why shouldn't I follow orders and take my team down there?"
"Cos your team won't get back out alive."
