The Corpral in charge of the guards responded to the alarm in the lab...apparently some of the tests subjects found in the jungle were trying to escape.

"Okay men, posotion yourselves on the right and left sides of the door, I will open it and do a quick scan of the facility...then you follow me in. Anyone not wearing a lab coat is a target.!"

"Aye, aye.Sir!" The ten trooper were well armed and well trained.
This had been a cushy assignment for most of them. Guard a tower in the middle of nowhere, no hostile government troops to be on the look out for, or any terrorist organisantion to take down...just guard duty...that is until the orders came in from above to start this meta research facility.

The first to arrive had been a local weirdo family that managed to escape at one time, but the last of them had now been caught yesterday in the company of some outsiders.
They had been sedated with gas grenades, but only after a few strange misfires.

The staff wanted to take a look at these metas, and apparently the leading researcher had known one of them, a girl, who he then set up a private lab for.

For security reasons the metas were put in VR-Beds, to asess their potential. And their equipment taken to storage...except for the sword, which had a irritating nack to teleport back to the bird fellow´s bed.

But now it seemed their powers had neutralized the VR-Beds and were on the loose.

As they counted down to one, suddenly a couple of stun grenades went off in the corridor.
Sending the troopers to the cozy darkness of unconciousness.

Raptor took the closest man in a lab coat and screamed in his face;
"Save her! Now! Or you will suffer a death that will be legendary even in hell!"

The frightened doctor began to do his best with the equipment at hand.

Then the door blasted inwards and a young red booted girl came charging in with guns blazing.
Drake, Chance and Raptor yelled as they took cover behind a desk:

"Crasher! Godammit! It´s us! Stop firing!" Raptor waved a white towel from behind the desk.

"Ooops. Sorry guys. Are you allright? No one hurt?"

Drake stood up and pointed to Ameristar;
"It seems someone had it in for Ameri here." He glowered at the doctors, who recoiled in fright.

"We were only following orders. Doctor Rana was in charge and left as soon as he was finished with the specimen."

Drake was furious.
"Specimen!! We´re talking about a girl here. Where did this Ranja guy go?"

The doctors looke at each other, apparently quiet afraid of the mad man and the armed girl which were pushing them up against the wall.

"Errrr...Rana...Doctor Rana went by helicopter just a few minutes ago to report back to his employers."

"And who are they?"

"Well...we were recruited by Doctor Rana...and the pay was...well...amazing so we didn´t ask."

Drake flung his hands up in the air; "Terrific! Now we have no way of catching that guy.!"

Raptor loomed over the doctor who tried to patch her up. And Crasher came up to him.

"Oh poor thing. What have they done to you?" She held Ameristar´s hands and tears flowed down her cheeks.

The troops outside were slowly regaining their wits, and silently the corpral gave them orders to resume their attack on the individuals inside.......
