The trip to the Scientist hideout was boring and slow for me. I needed to find a way to kill time before time killed me so I decided to have a little chat with Dex who was in the co-pilot seat. I was in the rear turret of the Apache we were going. This Apache was customized by Nathan who was at the pilot seat and added a rear turret for a third passenger. After all, I needed necessary info about what we were going against.
Me: (talking through the radio) *Hey Dex, if you could please kill the bug of knowing what is Globex and who the hell is the Scientist, I will appreciate that.*
Dex: *Yeah, of course little vermin (wasn't offended by that). Globex is an international weapon manufacturer company that was founded in the 1991, after the U.R.S.S. fell. A man called Mykorevich Globacus bought an old soviet weapon storage and industry to produce every weapon the U.N. considers "prohibited" and hi company soon sail through successful business. Eventually 7 years before, they got an order from North Korea to produce a new kind of chemical weapon to be used against infantry. That was when their downfall started.*
Soon Nathan joined the conversation: *The toxin was supposed to paralyze soldiers mentally making them lose the will to fight, but for unknown reasons it instead shut down all brain activity except in the reptilian region making the users feel no pain and show extreme aggressive behavior. Basically, they were filled with unlimited rage. *
Me: *And this is the part where you explain me in what the "Scientist" is related?*
Dex: *The Scientist was the one who invented the toxin, and he was trying to create the cure when Globex attacked his facility. Fortunately he was saved by William, the leader of Alpha squad.*
Nathan:*Yeah, 2 weeks before the attack Alpha squad was assigned by the U.N. in their first official mission. They were sent to suppress a rebellion of terrorists located near the Amazonian jungle. The mission was successful but on their journey back home, the cargo plane in which they were transported was attacked by Globexs' MiG's. The team bailed out though, and reunited in the Amazonian jungle. In there, a lot of soldiers we're infected by the toxin and the only ones who managed to stay clean were William, Bull, Shadow, Riggs and Toad. After rescuing the Scientist, the team started a race against time for the research of the cure before Globex or the infected attacked. Eventually, the Scientist managed to develop the cure and what was left was a way to deploy it. Globex gave them the answer.*
Dex:*Globex decided to launch a nuke against the island where Alpha squad was in hope of destroying the infection. But once launched, William flew literally above the nuke and sabotaged the warhead, replacing it with the cure. He was about to jump out when the Globex leader of that time, Nijovrin Globacus, intervened in person. A fight took place but in the end William defeated the leader, whom got stuck in the nuke, and jumped away in his chute. In the end, the nuke exploded and dispersed the cure all over the atmosphere, cleaning the infected. Alpha squad was later congratulated by the U.N. and Globex was disbanded. Although it seem that they were actually waiting in the dark for the perfect moment.*
Me:*Alright, thanks for the info guys, and also, how long until we arrive?*
Nathan:*ETA 10 minutes*
After that time, we landed the helicopter near the Great Wall and took a taxi to the Forbidden City. Later on we heard gunshots and people started running away from something. Nathan paid the driver while me and Dex took off to see what was going on. We took a turn to the left and we saw that Globex soldiers were fighting against a man with circular glasses, white hair and a the stereotypical laboratory bat. Definitely the Scientist although I was expecting him more older. And he needed help immediately, and Dex beat me into it.
Me:*Nathan, Globex is here, watch it when you surround the corner, never know when there's a sniper around. Also give cover to me and Dex, there's at least 15 of them.*
Nathan: *Got it.*
The first one we shot down were the ones closest to the Scientist. I heard him yell: - Thank god! The Heroes! Glad that you're here! -
Nathan:- We will save you now and later you will answer some questions we have. -
It was a difficult fight since we were in a city where there are a lot of civilians that don't want to be killed by accident. Fortunately (according to Fatale who was visiting the country) nobody got hurt except for those poor fellas of Globex. Once it ended, we made a run if the police decided to show up and after finding a good hiding spot, we finally started with the diagnosis.
Scientist:- So clones, uh? Yeah, I actually heard before about that. You'll see, after the defeat Globex suffered against William, the superiors concluded that their staff and soldiers weren't powerful enough so they decided to research in another way to raise an army. Soon enough, they got the idea of using clones with genes altered to have more power and also very cheap to produce and train. The only thing I didn't know was that they got that many number of clones. -
Dex:- So, any brilliant ideas of what to do now? -
Scientist:- I actually got one, here...- He passed me a photo of a guy that had black hair swept to side, rectangular glasses and the stereotype lab robe. -...this guy is called Inaji, he is a well known scientist thanks for its research in brain activity and psychological patterns. He may have an idea to repel the problem. -
Me:- Where does he lives? -
Scientist:- He lives in a mansion near the Himalayas... wait a minute, you look...-
Me:- Ahhhh, what's the matter? -
Scientist:- You... you look like William! Wait! That's it! You are William's younger brother, Wesley! -
No...way...in...hell...he...just...said...that.
Wow... Wesley is William's younger brother?! That may explain why he doesn't like him but, why hate a brother that has saved the world? What's the matter with that? Stay tuned for next chapter, the SFH now will go to Inaji's home hoping that he has a solution to deal with Globex clone army. But they are not the only ones that are rushing to the mansion. StrikeForceHeroeTeller out.
