Silence fills the room. A computer of Combine origin was secured on the wall infront of you, the screen bustling with information. The rumbling hum of machinery were audible outside the walls. A table sat at the center of the room, a piece of paper laid on it.
You aren't sure how you got here, but maybe the paper will have the answers.
Reading it will reveal a note, for you. It reads:
"Hey guys! Combine here. Sorry for the weird change, this was something I want to try out for a planned story. The planned story is either going to be the rewritten version of my SAS 4: Zombie Assault X RWBY crossover, or side stories of RWBY's mod which will have multiple characters being followed, from NPCs to Celeste to Characters of the show.
Now this little chapter here isn't a chapter, it's mostly for entertainment and compensation for short chapters. Now I'm not exactly sure if this will stay as compensation, since I have ideas for this thing.
How about you take a look at that computer? I'll have someone give access to what you're going to expect in these info things. Again, sorry for the 'Roleplay' tone I'm doing, it's something I want to try out for other stories. Let me know in the reviews!"
After reading the note, you looked up at the screen. The screen now had three boxes, one was named 'Characters', another was 'NPCs, Wildlife, and Combatants', and the last one was 'Factions, groups, and organizations'.
Unsure of what to do, you walked over to the screen and tapped the 'Characters' box. The screen was now filled with rows and rows of rectangles, most of them blacked out accompanied by '???'. As said earlier, most of them were blocked, but not one. A box with a cyan background had the word 'Union' instead of the triple question marks.
You tapped it, bringing up a profile of Union. His face was on the top right corner, a full body portrait of him sat under it. The portrait was of him holding his left arm and looking to the side with discomfort. Two arrows were on either side of the portrait. On the left side, it had:

Once done reading, you backed out and made your way to the 'NPCs, Wildlife, and Combatants' box. It revealed three boxes. One had the acronym 'NPC', another had the word 'Wildlife', and the last one had 'Combatants'.
Only the 'NPC' box had an article. The rectangle had the words 'Standard Headcrab' on it, categorized under the faction: 'Zombies'.
The article looked identical to the 'Character' article, except it was only the full body portrait. The portrait was of a Standard Headcrab idly swaying its body and looking around. On the left side, it had:
NPC Name: Standard Headcrab

Character Opinions:
"I can see why Kleiner wanted one as a pet." - Union
"I don't get how Union sees this as 'cute', they make zombies for Oum's sake!" - Celeste Grace
"Useful bio-weapon." - Elite Specialist Leader 1-1
Once done reading, you backed out and made your way to the 'Factions, Groups, and Organizations' box. It revealed three boxes. One had the word 'Factions', another had the word 'Groups', and the last one had 'Organizations'.
Only the 'Organizations' box had an article. The rectangle had the words 'UNION' on it, with an error next to it saying: 'Temporary Title, awaiting instructions'
The article looked identical to the 'NPC' article, except the right side had the Organization's emblem. The emblem was a white version of the Combine emblem with a dove flying overhead, the background was dark blue. On the left side, it had:
Organization: UNION [Awaiting Change of Title]
Leader: Union
Second-in-Command: Elite Specialist Leader 1-1
Notable Commanders: Zombine Elite Squad Members, The Antlion Guardian, Alyx, Barney, and Father Grigori
Years of Service: 4
Base of Operations: Bandit Camp near Rainsford Village, the Citadel
History:
First formed when the System was created, officially a thing when Union bonded with his specialists. They served as Union's main fighting force against conflict, notably against the Creatures of Grimm and Atlas's enforcing attempt. They have participated in the defense of Vale during the Fall of Beacon, however they have resigned from the battle once the Citadel had dropped.
Following the death and respawn of their user, the Elite 1-1 had gathered the specialists to reside at the liberated bandit camp. The recovering group helped the village Rainsford close by while they waited for their user. Elite 1-1 used some of the scanners to scout out the Citadel incase it tried to invade.
After the successful raid of the Citadel, the organization's members had moved to the tower, merging alliances with the Citadel NPCs and using the bandit camp as a hidden base. With the recent arrangements between Union and the Council, the organization was used as a defender while Vale recovers from the attacks they had suffered.
