Alien Slave 2
Chapter 6: Traps
"So....one of the alien slave from Black Mesa had survived and ended up in South America."
"Yes Dr Breen. We've also got information that 2 forest rangers has pictures of the vortigaunt.
We've already have detailed information of their locations, resident and family."
Dr Breen looked up from the notes and across the table to General Romata. He gave his trademark sinister smile to the General.
"General, I would like you to take on this situation. I've read reports on your ability to keep things under control and I think this situation requires a lot of it. I loved the way you did it at Black Mesa."
The General gulped down his saliva, the General was one of the overall commanders in the Black Mesa incident. He commanded the 13th Black Ops in efforts to clean up the mess left by the US military. The operation went smoothly until a US soldier named Corporal Shephard came in and messed things up. Shephard took out three-quarters of all Black Operatives and nearly stopped the Nuke from exploding. The General had to move in himself to activate the Nuclear device back on. It was presume that Corporal Shephard died in Black Mesa when he went to fought some big bad alien.
"Yes Dr Breen. I will keep this situation under control." After all, this situation only involved 2 wily silly park rangers who had no idea what they were after, Romata thought.
"Good. I would like you to capture the 2 park rangers and capture or take out the Vortigaunt. We cannot allow it to escape. Do I make myself clear? General Colin Romata?"
"Yes Sir."
"Good. Remember NO WITNESSES. Or your head will be in my trophy room." Dr Breen pointed to his collection of skulls in one corner of his office. There were skulls of both Human and alien.
Tim checked his animal traps. He carefully went though each and everyone of the traps to ensure they were in the best condition. He did not want the alien to escape from his clutches. In the corner of his eye, he spotted Felix getting off from the car. He was back from 'shopping' for equipment.
"Tim. I've just came back from the local gun shop. I've got you a full arsenal as you requested."
"Did you get the OCIW?" Tim asked as he ran his fingers along the traps.
"Yes. Although I had to bribe the shop owner to get it from him." Felix lifted a giant rifle from the boot.
"Good. I'll need all the fire power I can get."
"You sure you want to do this? I mean like we should relate this to the authorities. We're just simple park rangers." Felix was uncertain. He had a family to take care off and did not want to risk anything.
"Of course. I've captured the alien on photo, I'll capture the alien again." Tim said as he lifted a .44 Magnum from the boot and fired a shot at a beer bottle on a post. The bottle shattered.
"Woah, I didn't knew you could shoot."
"I learnt shooting from my parents. They are owners of a shooting range." Tim said as he reloaded for another shot. He aimed at an even further bottle.
"Nice.....still I think we should inform the authorities. We're only civilians for goodness sake !" Felix said as he grabbed the Magnum from Tim's grips and aimed at the bottle. He fired but the bullet missed wide.
"I've prepared everything. I'll start setting up the traps tomorrow. And I'm going to search every cave in the park."
"All right men. We have a code red situation on our hands that requires immediate force."
"At 1800 hours, 25th July Saturday. Our agent, Coddy Lasi of the Brazil reconnaissance team was called up by Brazilian park rangers. They wanted Coddy to examine a dead tiger they found."
"Coddy went in and did the examination. He found that the tiger had electrical burns and claw scratches. A closer examination of the claw scratches revealed that the marks were made from creature not from Earth."
"Coddy concluded that the creature that killed the tiger was a Vortigaunt. As most of you know, this creature originated from Xen and must be either captured or eliminated."
"Coddy called HQ to inform them of this discovery. HQ were uncertain of his claims and placed the discovery on hold."
"Than on 28th July Monday, the 2 park rangers were spotted by the photography team in one of the town centre. The 2 park rangers sent their film for development."
"One of the photos in the film had the picture of a Vortigaunt, Seen here."
"They informed HQ. Intel decided to gather information of the 2 park rangers. Detailed information can be seen in the handouts I gave you. Read them carefully. One of the park rangers is an excellent marksmen."
"Also on the 29th July Tuesday, one of the park ranger went to a gun shop. He was spotted placing weapons in his car boot. We've managed to identify some of the weapons, we've spotted SPAS, M-29 OCIW, and a .44 Magnum. We presume they are going to try and hunt down the alien."
"Our mission is to enter the national park region without being discovered, capture the 2 park rangers, and eliminate or capture the Vortigaunt if possible."
"We will split up into 2 teams. Team A will enter the park station compound, capture the park rangers, gather any information about the park's landform, and secure the weapons."
"Team B will start searching for the Vortigaunt after Team A has completed their job. Team A will also inquire the family members of the park rangers and see whether they know something. If they do, we will need to kidnapped the entire family."
"Remember, this mission is to be discrete. I do not want any witnesses."
"All right men. Go though the hand outs I gave you. You have 15 minutes before the helicopter arrives."
