The team needed to get information about meterex troop movements, and the location of any meterex leaders, including scourge. To do that they would have to infiltrate a meterex communications site and download information off of the computers.

The site was situated on a hill in the forest, with a large antenna and multiple buildings around the antenna. Toothdee, Kate and Humphrey would draw the meterex attention to one side of the base, making it easy for Alex to slip in and download information. It should be relatively easy for him to get into the base since it was only a small communications station. Once the team had the info, they would retreat and then figure out what to do with the base.

Alex was prone in the bushes near the base, waiting for Toothdee to contact him. Almost on queue, Alex's radio sprung to life with Toothdee's voice.

"Alex, *gunfire* we're making our assault now. *explosion* get in there and get that info"

Noticing meterex guards moving in the direction of the rest of the squad, alex snuck out of the bushes and cut the fence that surrounded the base, then entered the compound. He kept close eyes on his surroundings, because there would still be meterex guarding the area.

It was easy for alex to tell what way he had to go because the massive antenna at the center of the base was easily visible. Coming into a small outdoor area, alex saw 2 meterex soldiers standing guard. When one turned to face away from the other, alex shot the other meterex dead, then eliminated the second soldier before it could turn around and see what happened to its ally.

Moving forward, Alex entered a building and laid eyes on another meterex soldier in front of him. There was no other enemies nearby, so alex had no problem preforming a takedown on the hostile.

Further into the building was another meterex soldier. Alex ducked down as the soldier turned to him. When the enemy turned away, alex took it down. Coming to a large door, alex walked into a big courtyard with the antenna at the center. There were 2 elite meterex units guarding the antenna. Alex used crates as cover and snuck up close to the 2 enemies. Jumping up, alex shot one of the meterex dead and stabbed the other one before it could comprehend what was happening.

"Toothdee" alex said into the radio as he walked over to a computer at the base of the antenna. "I'm at the antenna, preparing to download information"

"Roger that, but once you begin downloading that stuff, the meterex are going to come to stop you. So you may want to prepare some defenses"

"Acknowledged"

Alex noticed a crate of weapons nearby, looking inside he found a few land mines and automated sentry guns. After placing the devices down in strategic locations, alex plugged a drive into the computer and started downloading the information.

Just as suspected, meterex soldiers began pouring in, with 3 normal meterex racing at top speed towards the antenna. They triggered a land mine and all 3 meterex were blown sky high.

Another squad of 2 regular units and an elite unit began coming in. The automatic sentry guns began opening fire on the hostiles. Alex gunned down the elite unit, and then one of the normal units. The sentry guns finished off the last enemy.

Additional squads of hostiles started coming in. 2 heavy units, 4 normal ones and an elite.

Alex tossed a grenade at one of the heavy units, dealing a lot of damage and killing another enemy nearby. Alex fired a hail of bullets at the heavy units head, and it dropped to the ground. The elite unit got close to alex and slashed at him. Jumping back, alex blocked the blows with his own sword and used the rifle in his other hand to put the enemy down. Alex then threw a grenade that blew up 2 enemy soldiers, then he gunned another one down with his rifle. A heavy unit got close to alex and launched powerful punches at him. Alex rolled to avoid the attacks and jabbed the heavy unit a few times with his sword. Jumping off a crate, alex did a powerful sidewards strike that cut the meterex unit in its head. Alex hit it a few more times with his sword to make sure the unit was dead.

The information was finished downloading, alex grabbed the drive as toothdee radioed him.

"The fight over here has gotten less intense, I think the meterex are focusing most of their troops on you. You need to get out of there. We're making our retreat"

"Affirmative" alex said as a large group of enemies raced into the area. Alex spotted the door he came from and made a break for it. 2 meterex units were in front of alex, and he hit them with his sword as he ran past. An elite unit slashed at alex with its blades, but alex rolled to evade the attack and continued to run out of the base.

As he Headed into the small outdoor area he passed through earlier, a heavy unit charged at alex, who was quick to run out of the way. Another elite unit jumped in the air and made a downwards strike at alex. Blocking the powerful blow, alex stumbled back but quickly resumed running.

Reaching the fence, alex ran through the hole he cut and started running into the forest. The meterex continued to shoot at him, and began to follow him into the woods. Bullets raced by Alex and struck the plants and ground nearby. He slid down a hill and began whacking tall plants out of the way as he continued going full speed. The meterex were still shooting and alex could hear them behind him moving through the plants. Seeing a river in front of him alex jumped into the river and dove underwater, letting the strong current Carry him away from the meterex. There was no need to worry about getting the hard drive Wet because it was water proof. When alex came up for air he could no longer see the hostiles but continued to let the river take him further downstream to get as far away as he could. After a few minutes alex climbed out of the river and radioed the squad.

"Are you guys there?"

"Yeah we're here" said Toothdee. "We have a lock on your location"

"Well let's hope this hard drive holds something interesting"
