"Captain." A man wearing a body suit with a gas mask spoke almost roboticly through the internal voice box.

The man in smiler armor albeit white spoke, "You had something to report?" The voice still had that robotic cracking quality

"Yes sir. We picked it up yesterday, the Aperture Science Enrichment Center's security has gone offline." The man in blue armor spoke.

"Really?" The captain responded.

"Yes sir, we can finally get what we've been waiting for."

"Very good, prepare the men, we leave in five."

"Sir, yes sir!"

Preparations were made, within five minutes a task force of four Combine had been teleported within a small white room. They moved swiftly and quietly taking hold of a device on a nearby table, the human in the bed next to the table was also taken. Within seconds they had teleported back to their small outpost.

Everything was silent...
