Project E.1337: Alpha Page #3

---

in temperament and skill sets,

possibly a genetic trait.

Despite being such a small team,

Sergeant Johnson believes

that they will be capable

of handling larger missions on their own.

Martinez was right, this project

will save MiraCO's future.

Well, they're all clear.

Physically and mentally,

they all check out.

So, now what?

- We'll need to field test them somehow.

- That'd be

the best case scenario.

- Do you think they're

ready to be deployed?

- What do you mean?

- Sending them out on a mission,

do you think they're ready?

- Well, whatever they were

taught by Sergeant Johnson,

they should have no problems

replicating that in the field,

so they're ready.

- Williams, please, come in.

- Thank you.

Dr. Howe, surprised to see you

on this side of the building.

- Well you know, I, I

thought I would just stop in

and say hello, you know,

we are on the same team.

- Yeah, well, about that.

The board told me today

that your team's resources

will go over to Shaefer.

As of next week you'll

be under his direction.

- That's funny, I was

just about to call you

to have you set up another

board meeting for me.

- Another board meeting?

May I ask what you plan

to present this time?

They weren't too happy about the last one.

- They'll be happy this time.

You're gonna be a rich

man again, Williams.

- Oculus, did we get a breakthrough?

- We have.

- You have?

- Yes, we have.

We just need one more week

to confirm our results

before we present to the board.

- I can't believe it, we're

going back to the top.

- We're going back to the top.

- I knew I could

count on your team, Martinez.

I'll go arrange for a meeting right now.

To the top, to the top.

To the top, to the top, to the top, ha!

Good work, people!

- Idiot.

- Did your team have a

breakthrough with Oculus?

- We're not presenting Oculus.

- Wait, what?

- We're not presenting Oculus.

- Good morning, Martinez.

- Good morning, Larry.

Where's Mr. Sander?

- Mr. Sander won't be

joining us this morning,

he's actually on a last

minute conference call

with one of our suppliers, so

I will be the acting chairman

for this presentation today.

- I see.

I look forward to your thoughts

on today's presentation.

- Thank you.

- May I begin?

- You may begin.

- Martinez, what the hell is this?

- What you're about to

see is a demonstration

of what enhanced unit soldiers working for

the future of MiraCO.

- Martinez,

don't tell me that you--

- I did, and you will not be

disappointed by what you see.

- That's not the point!

You went behind the company's

back and sanctioned this?

You sanctioned your own experiments?

Go get security.

Martinez, you're fired,

get the hell outta here.

- Spencer, Carlos and Jack

are the first three candidates

to receive the injections.

Today they'll be demonstrating

their effectiveness

by performing a hostage mission.

- A hostage mission?

- Their objective is to rescue

a high ranking drug lord

that's been running Levec's territories.

- Martinez, I order you to end this.

You're not authorized to go

saving any drug lord kingpins.

- It's too late now, they're in route,

so sit down and enjoy the show.

- Do you

realize what you're doing?

- I know perfectly well,

I'm saving this company

no thanks to any of you.

- There'll be people on my

ass if word spreads of this.

- I assure you, when word spreads

this will be in the company's favor.

- Martinez, Martinez.

- Oh no, let me go!

Let me go!

- Target's on location, we're standing by.

- Hey, who're you?

- Spencer, do you copy?

- This is four three zero to five,

we caught an intruder at the perimeter.

- 10-4, bring them in.

- Wait.

- What's going on out there, Carl?

What's going on down there, Carl?

Talk to me, Carl.

Unit three, come in.

Unit three, what's your status?

All units, report your stats.

What the hell's going

on out there, goddamnit?

- You have someone we're looking for.

- Like hell we do.

Who is this?

All right, this is it.

I want this place locked

down now, let's go.

Looks like someone's here to save ya.

Stop, stop right there!

- How you doing there, sir?

- You, you b*tch!

- I thought you would be grateful.

- Let me go, you hear me?

- What do you think?

- Complete, simulation complete.

Simulation complete.

- Not bad.

A bit unorthodox, but not bad.

The general will be interested.

- Well, we're ready to talk when you are.

- Captain Miller, come in?

- Go ahead.

- We're picking up

insurrectionist movement.

We believe they're meeting

with their new weapons contact.

- Get the Phoenix Team ready.

- Be advised, sir,

there's not much left

of Phoenix Team, and we're

picking up heavy radiation

signatures in that area.

What are your orders?

- Do they play well with others?

We could use the help.

- One second.

Captain?

Yeah, okay.

Gear them up.

- Attention, attention,

other teams moving up

have been issued to senso level one.

Attention, attention--

- What's going on?

- We've all been assigned to a mission.

- This doesn't seem like a simulation.

- It's real this time.

There isn't much left in their armory,

but use what you can, make it work.

- And await further instructions.

Attention, attention,

other teams moving up--

- It looks like you've been

assigned to an escort mission.

- Great.

- I know this isn't ideal,

but you're gonna have to do your best.

- Has been issued

to senso level one.

Report to your stations--

- Listen up.

This is the first time we'll be attempting

a land operation outside these walls.

The risks are high, but we have no choice.

The insurrectionists

are currently in route

to an off-grid location

that has been emanating

radiation signatures

for the past few hours.

We have every reason to

believe that they will use

the weapon to breach our walls and more.

- But sir, can't we

just send in the pilots

and be done with it?

- That's a negative, Corporal,

our flight guidance systems were damaged

during the innies last assault.

You'll be dropped off at FOB number two

on the eastern wall.

From there you will proceed on

foot to the radiation point.

Let me remind you that

by this point and time

if you are not wearing your goggles,

you will go blind within a few seconds.

Your objective is to neutralize the weapon

and bring one of them back alive.

We need to know who's making them tick.

Lieutenant Bennet will be in

command of this operation.

You special science turkeys,

you listen to him, 100%.

Is that understood?

- Yes, sir.

- Very well, get to it.

- Is she on her way?

- Yes, and she's bringing

the doctor with her

in case you have any questions.

- Very good.

- Do I have something on my face?

- Oh, uh, no.

It's just--

- It's just what?

Well, what are you guys, exactly?

- It's none of your business.

- Oh come on.

You guys are obviously not normal.

Not with the way you moved

through that simulation.

- Don't poke the bear, Corporal.
