Operative

"Now, we shall follow our motto. Discipline breeds obedience, Obedience breeds unity, and unity breeds power. Power is life." Shael Carter stood up straight as Dr. James Marcus spoke in the Briefing Room.

"Now, I want you to remember that motto 'till the day that you leave this facility. Do you all understand?" The Umbrella operatives nodded.

"Now, here is a word from your Commander and Boss, Mr. Spencer." A man sitting down to the side of the room got up, and slowly walked onto the stage and went to the podium. Marcus bowed a little and then walked off to the side.

"Good Evening, all. I hope that your journey on the Ecliptic Express was well. You have been selected among few to work for the Umbrella Corporation. We run most of Raccoon City's Medical Branches. We also work with medicine and healthcare." All of the operatives nodded.

"Inside this place you will be trained with the art of deception and assault. We want you to use these skills after you leave, maybe even inside one of our own facilities. You will no doubt...hate... some of our instructors, but it will be well worth it. You can research in our library, look through our massive telescope in the observatory, and research medicine inside our labs. The point is, this adventure will be well worth the time, and money." Spencer was about to stride off, when he remembered something. "You may not make it out alive, so you'd better follow directions." Dr. Marcus quickly strode to the front of the stage.

"Thank you Mr. Spencer." Spencer nodded, and then walked off the stage. Dr. Marcus re-took his position in front of the podium.

"I will now read the dormitory list of you operatives. Downstairs in the basement, we have: James Mckenzie, Alisha Valentine, George Macintosh, and Shael Carter. Please, all of you stand up." Shael and three other people stood up, waiting for the next instructions.

"From this point on, you will be trained by an instructor. Your instructor is Albert Wesker, appointed by Mr. Spencer himself. Mr. Wesker, please step forward." A tall blond man stepped forward. Shael looked at him, studying his blank expression. Mr. Wesker was wearing dark sunglasses.

"Mr. Wesker, please take your team to their dormitories and then begin training immediately."

"Yes, Dr. Marcus." Mr. Wesker went forward, and waved his pupils over and then asked them to follow him to the main room. He opened the door for the four to follow him through. Shael didn't like the main room, because there was a huge picture of Marcus that didn't look very welcoming.

"Follow me, now." Mr. Wesker walked down the stairs, onto the main floor. He walked over to a trap door that was to the left of the stairs.

"This is the trap door to the Sewer Tunnel that leads to the Train Tunnel. It's under maintenance right now, and it hasn't been established completely. Follow me." He began to walk again.

"This set of double doors leads to the bathrooms, and the Projector Room. Use this if nature calls, or if you are given a microfilm to project with on one of your puzzles."

Puzzles? Thought Shael.

Mr. Wesker crossed to the other side of the room.

"This is the Dining Room. Each team will be called one at a time and then they will be able to dine in here for exactly one hour. On special days we have feasts here in the main hall. Through the red door, that is the kitchen. Only higher operatives can enter through here. Once you complete a certain level of training, you get the Fire Motif key that opens some doors inside this mansion. Move along."

Mr. Wesker exited into a small hallway with one window. He nodded to a door on his right.

"That door leads to the storage room. There is also a ladder through there that leads to the balcony. From the balcony there is a door that leads to the Briefing Room." He walked down a set of stairs that looked very worn.

"This is the Steam Room. Dr. Marcus has controls in his main office that can turn the Steam Valve on and off. When he wants you to leave, he will turn it off. When he doesn't want you to leave, it will be on. Continue." He walked passed the water coated floor, and made his way down to a door. He opened it, and ushered the troupe inside.

"This is the Main Basement." He pointed to some kind of gate.

"This is the door to your dormitory area. The door at the far end of the hall is the bunk rooms where you will sleep. The second door is your living room, where you can chat and do what you want." Mr. Wesker continued forward and then reached to doors.

"This is the spare ammo room. If you need to stock up, you will find it here. Every now and then Dr. Marcus will unleash dangerous animals for you to...take down."

What the hell? This place was beginning to prove to be extremely weird.

"Down this way is are the Caverns. The first door is the Bath Room where you can wash up. It has to be cleaned regularly for the other operatives. The furthest door down the passage is the Cage Room where we keep the animals. Now, I want you to grab your things and then put them in the dormitory."

"Um, excuse me Mr. Wesker, where did they put our things?"

"They've been put in the front hall by now. And one thing, none of this Mr. Wesker crap. Just call me Wesker. Now, go grab your things and go to sleep."

"Dr. Marcus wanted us to train Wesker."

"I'm the boss of you now. Now go to bed. I'll see you in the morning."

A/N: I think it turned out well. Please R&R!
