Doom: Core of hell

by Isaac440

Tie Dicaprio had only been a light drop infantry marine for 3 months, and has never done anything extraordinary in his life, let alone during that period of time itself. But when he discovers that he has been sent on a supernatural search and destroy miss

DooM: Core of hell..

Tie grumbled violently, slithering out of his uncomfortable bunker and making his way towards the espresso machine. As the gadget whirred, Tie brought his PDA out from his bedside storage container and clicked a button reading EMAIL. A single message popped up on the palm-sized computer screen, almost strangely alone- the net was usually swarming with Spam and viral e-mails at this time of the morning. He snatched his espresso and sat down on his bed sheets to read what it had to say.

" Fr: Sergeant Maxis

To: Fred Cuncartis, Linda Schwell, Deen Frodo, Tie Dicaprio, Jerry Hopkins, Johnny Hintwell.

Sub: Minor malfunctions in Delta…

Message: Good morning, maggots.

As many of you have noticed, we have been having many problems in delta labs lately. There have been bursting pipes, strange noises and deaths of unknown causes. We have sent various (self claiming) psychics down there, but they say that they cannot sense anything. We have only been seeing worse events unfold, and we now have seven missing security workers, four missing scientists and, just recently, two missing generals. This situation has become exceedingly alarming, and I have been forced by the security officials eyeballing our UAC projects and experiments to send in my top six men to handle the situation through any means necessary. If you are on the list above, and received this email on your computer/ PDA, please report to me at 0900 hours sharp.

He slowly lowered his PDA to his lap, recalling when he may have earned an honour such as one of sergeant Maxis' "Top six men," but couldn't think of any reasonable explanation- he had only transferred from scientist to marine three months ago. He swilled his espresso, scorching his mouth, then tossed the mug onto the rusty counter and tugged on his marine uniform.

"Consider this," he said to himself while slapping on his gloves, "Basic training."
