Date: FEB-14, 2002/12:00 AM HAVN Facility-Upper Level/Research Area: Observatory Level; Near the Medical Wing The Korean soldiers managed to kill the creepers, but their still in danger. The Hunter mutate was still close and craving their blood, Hyun-woo ordered his men to head the direction to the Medical Wing. Obeying him, they rushed down the instructed hallway and came face to face with a metal security door, with a small multi-buttoned panel of the right side of the door.

When they were in front of the door, Lunara said to them, "To open the door, type in the code: 11-51-39-08." Hyun-woo being the one who understood English the most fluently, he entered the code. Upon pressing the final number, the red light turn green, and with a ding, the security door slide open. Hyun-woo yelled at his remaining men, "움직여! 움직여! 지금 당장 안으로 들어가!/Umjig-yeo! Umjig-yeo! Jigeum dangjang an-eulo deul-eoga! (Move! Move! Get inside, now!)" they obeyed him, and rushed inside the Medical Wing. As the security door, shut behind him.

Date: FEB-14, 2002/12:11 AM HAVN Facility-The Lowest Level: Outside the Shuttle, Above the Ground Floor The team were traversing the dark tracks, with little source of light. Husk switched with Brick in carrying the still unconscious Grinder, when they got some distance away from the shuttle, they heard it. The sounds of snapping, sparks flying, and then the sound of something giving way, a few moments of intense silence, which Pig yelled out, "Everyone, get down!" They immediately followed the ex-cop's words, and fall into the ground, covering themselves and Grinders from what's coming next. That's when a huge, loud, fiery explosion happened behind them.

The shockwave from the explosion, weakened the already weakened structure further. Shaking the entire already unstable fondation of the level. Rumbling in great force, as a huge burst of fire, lighted the dark of area. Pig, Uncle, 2X, and Brick used their bodies to protect Grinder from any possible debris that can hurt him.

As this earthshaking was occurring, a man...a monster, was making his way to them. Holding a great axe, occasionally surging in electricity, lighting the silhouette of this masked monster. All the while, he was mumbling and rambling utter insane babble, especially about "gutting", "zapping", and "bleeding" piggies. When he spotted a peon, that was pinned under rubble and debrie, he spoke to the others, "Look, look, look! Another piggie!" another voice spoke next, "Awww it's hurt. Put the pig down, Khaine!" with one last voice, pleaded for Khaine to not hurt the man.

Kaine smacked his head a couple of times to shut up, Simon, instead Marcus insisted for him to kill. Rampage looked down at the cowarding, hurt, little piggie and started laughing like a crazy, madman. Lifting up his Mr. Meatzapper, triggering the surge of electricity, as it sparked with such intensity that the man under the rubble, started screaming and trying to escape. As his attacker, kept his axe up high, as he laughed and said, "Bleed, bleed! Little piggie, meet Mr. Meatzapper!" and in a powerful swing. Rampage's Meatzapper chopped into the chest and throat areas of the trapt subject, as currents of electricity, electrocuted and burn the man, as he spasms uncontrollably.

Rampage laughed as his red eye, stared down at his dying victim. As the blood boiled, around the macabre axe-blade, surging with electricity. Both the uniform and flesh began to chard and burn, from Meatzapper driven into the victim, as 75-Volts surge into the man's body. After a couple agonizing moments the man was dead, and the only thing that was causing any "reaction" was being electrocuted.

After a couple more moment of brutal, agonizing killing, Rampage pulled out his axe. Again he started talking to the others with him, and walk further in the lower level. Rampage was getting closer to the other piggies, he was chasing after.

Date: FEB-14, 2002/12:40 AM HAVN Facility-Upper Level/Research Area: Observatory Level; The Medical Wing The Medical Wing, highly advance with a futuristic white sheen design. This area of the facility was still fully powered, Lunara spoke to them, through the comms, "In this facility, many areas need constant surge of power. TheMedical Wing, is also the only way to access the emergency elevator. That will lead to the lower level, and through them, you can find another elevatorconnected to the onlyexit." Hyun-woo heard this and translated what he knows to his men. As he told his men, his eleven remaining men what they needed to do.

He also ordered his men, "남자들이여, 유용할 수 있는 것은 무엇이든 수색하라. 다른 사람들을 주시하고, 경계하라. 복사!?/Namjadeul-iyeo, yuyonghal su issneun geos-eun mueos-ideun susaeghala. Daleun salamdeul-eul jusihago, gyeong-gyehala. Bogsa!?(Men, search the anything that can be useful. Stay in sight of the others, and stay alert. Copy!?)" They responded in confirmation to their Commander, and started to search the area with precaution.

As the team was wandering through the Medical Wing, searching for much needed supplies, with some precaution regardless on where they are, they can still run across one of those things. In another section of the Medical Wing a serpent like silhouette was rushing in the dark. When a light source flickered, it struck at it with great speed, a sickle like appendage, smashing into the lightbuld and wall, destroying it and restoring the room in darkness.

These mutates are called Scavengers, cause of their skittish nature, preferring the darkness outside all manner of light-source, they hide allover the Haunting Grounds, as long as those places are dark. Cause these scavengers are extremely sensitive to light, to the point that contact with any light-source causes agonizing pain, to the point of burning their wine colored skin, in great intensity. Almost like being set on fire, when under light exposure, because of this, these reclusive mutates and dislike of light, making them aggressive against any light-source, attacking them and all close to those lights, to regain their dark security.

The scavangers are really dangerous, as ling as they're in close proximity of a light-source. But under the shroud of shadows, these mutate varient, turn non-aggressive preferring to remain hidden in the darkness. So in the darker corners of the Medical Wing, several of these serpentine like mutates, with sickle like arms, and pertruding, deformed mouths, were hiding. A new danger was waiting for Hyun-woo and his team...

Date: FEB-14, 2002/12:45 AM HAVN Facility-Upper Level/Research Area: Observatory Level; Dr. Lunara's Private Office Lunara was still in the process of establishing connection to the comm-systems of the lower levels. She has just provided help the soldiers, reach and access the Medical Wing of the facility, this will at least provide her some reprieve, from watching over those men. As Lunara was doubling her efforts to contact what survivors remain.

That's when Lunara saw on her screen, the live-feed of BETA, fully transformed. She Grinder her teeth, and smashed her fist onto the desk. This was the last thing she needed at this grim moment, a ALPHA-NEMESIS on the loose in HAVN, the risk of ALPHA-ONE has only double her worries. For she has no idea what two fully transformed, male NEMESIS meeting will result.

Lunara stopped her typing and started to massaging her head, trying to fight back the headache that was threatening to come fort. Now with BETA added to the whole mix, she now needed to desperately contact those Subjects, and insure their survival. For her own survival of the whole situation of HAVN, so she went back to applying the sequences to establish the full connection to the lower levels.

Date: FEB-14, 2002/12:46 AM HAVN Facility-Highly Secured/Classified Area; A1 Containment Cell At the sametime in the most watched, secured, and classified location in HAVN, a monster...the first monster that was created by the experiment on the NEMESIS Project, was still locked behind a massive reinforced steel door. With panels designed to display everything inside that room, sound, temperature, and more, but the most important display is energy. Current the energy levels which were keeping the door sealed were at 74% shown in yellow warning lights... As the monster of HAVN, was slowly getting closer to escape.
