A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. This chapter is still kind of short.
Chapter 3: Guardian Angel
The Rapid Response Tactical Squad quietly entered the Olduvai Research Station unaware of a pair of icy blue eyes watching them from on top of the heating pipes, efficiently hidden away from sight. She watched the hardened space marines armed to the teeth with enough firepower to neutralize the enemy... or so they think. Boy, are they in for a surprise. Faith thought, sweeping her eyes over the group taking in every detail of the marines as they were separated into groups to locate the threat. One marine caught her attention, the one they called Reaper.
"Reaper." she whispered practically inaudible, testing the nickname on her tongue. Watching Reaper and Dr. Samantha Grimm walk towards the archeological research office Faith couldn't help, but think she knew them from somewhere. So familiar. Quickly shaking away those thoughts to focus at the matter at hand, to get off this hellish planet, and if that meant keeping the R.R.T.S. alive then so be it. Plus they didn't deserve to die up here on this dead planet. Nothing good comes from this place. Never has and never will.

Faith watched silently as she followed several teams around to make sure none of the resident hellish creatures didn't kill them. She was almost spotted by the Kid, when she placed a hand on one of the heating pipes it broke loose letting out a lot of steam making the pipe move around causing him to react with gunfire. When the pipe broke Faith quickly moved back from his firing range. A bullet grazed her, but just like before the pain and wound quickly disappeared. Luckily his partner, Destroyer, passed the Kid's shooting off as jumpiness. Must be his first mission. The R.R.T.S. was a little better than she expected, this brought a small smirk to her face.

She heard the yelling and gunfire coming quickly from down the hall towards her. Finally. I was beginning to think they would never find anything. Crouching on a section of heating pipes hiding completely in the shadows, Faith watched the marines corner, then try to calm Dr. Carmack down. Narrowing her icy eyes in a murderous glare that could've easily frozen hell over. Faith restrained herself from jumping down from her hiding spot and killing the doctor herself. He did this to her... made her into something that wasn't human. She didn't ask for this. She sure didn't want to be experimented on.
"Dr. Carmack it's me, Samantha... Where are the others? Steve?... Hilary? It's okay. Everything is going to be fine." Samantha said lowly, inching her way towards the cowering doctor. Faith leaned forward, just enough so her face was seen from out of the shadows. Dr. Carmack glanced around at all the faces surrounding him before landing on Faith's icy cold stare.
"Karma." Carmack muttered right before ripping his left ear off with a yell. Samantha jumped back in shock or horror, Faith wasn't really sure which one it was.
"Jesus Christ." she exclaimed as the other marines voiced their opinion. "Someone get a med kit."
Faith hid back in the shadows smirking as Reaper glanced around paranoid, feeling as if someone was watching them. He quickly shook off that feeling as Sarge paired them off in teams. Disappearing around the corner with Goat that feeling slowly went away. God, how he hated Olduvai. Faith couldn't agree with him more. She didn't like this place when she was a kid and now as an adult, she hated it with a burning passion. Sweeping her eyes down each of the corridors making sure it was safe, Faith slowly climbed down from the heating pipes. Which one to follow... Hm..
A/N: Review. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer... Hopefully.
