Description The station seemed empty, barren. Looking up to see how far he had fallen, Myers couldn't see anything but pitch black. He didn't believe he had fallen a great height, instead he assumed it was nighttime and he was knocked out for the time. Jumping to his feet, picking up his pistol, the only weapon that followed him into the abyss, the Lone Wolf moved through the empty halls of the base.

After traversing through the lonely corridors after what seemed like an hour, a sudden flash of blue light appeared from behind, and glowed intensely. In breakneck speed Rusty turned around, pistol in hand, ready to fire. His eyes widened and lowered his sidearm slowly. The blue light was a hologram, one that resembled of Dr. Sanler, and stared back at him intently.

"Dr. Sanler?" Myers inquired. The holograph nodded, and the Corporal shook his head. "I thought that Hellspawn thing shoot you down. How the hell did you survive?"

"No, I'm quite dead actually, I'm just an data-based AI that studies the experiments and prototypes that reside the Atlantic Base here, and report it to the officials back in Prague.  Speaking of which, I had not received any messages from the CEO for about thirteen months, I assume there must a problem in their software?"

Myers shook his head. "Prague's base was destroyed over a year ago; Biotech Juggernauts used explosives to turn that place into a hole in the ground. Anyways, do you a way out of here? I don't know where else to go, and-"

A door opened, and inside was an lift, prepped and ready to move. "The elevator there will take you to the main computer room. Walk in whenever you're ready, and I'll see you at the base." A few seconds later, the hologram disappeared.

The Lone Wolf turned to the lift, and sighed. He walked in, pressed the button to move up, the doors to the lift closed, and moved towards the the top.

Walking into the main base, Rusty found it to be slightly spacious, with plenty of room to spare. Layers of dust cover some monitors, indicating it has been months since someone was here. One monitor was on though, and the Corporal walked quickly to it and saw a Valor Wolf storming though the base, shooting as he went. What chased him were what Rusty thought were Mechanai, but noticed they no resemblance to any of the three factions he was familiar with. A new clan, maybe?

"Ah, the nanomechs has broken out again?" Tsking, Sanler appeared once more, seemed annoyed. "The little mechs have a bad tendency of running rampant, causing problems as they go. Wait..."  The AI suddenly disappeared from Myers' room, then reappeared in the one Wilk ran in, then shut the doors preventing the nanomechs from giving further chase.

Wilk was panting from the sprinting, not running, from the robotic horrors. Never, in his life, had he encountered something that could run as fast as he could, or ran that fast or long either. Fortunately for him, the door slammed shut, but the he could still hear the pounding of metal fists, begging to step in.

"Didn't think the bolter-knights could move that fast. Another thing to note," Sanler's AI mused loudly, scaring the Valor nearly out of his fur. Fangs bared, he pulled his revolver and point at the construct, when a loudspeaker in the room activated.

"Sir, can you hear me?" Myers spoke through the microphone. "Loud and clear, corporal. You mind telling how the hell Sanler is still alive?" Wilk asked, still panting from the marathon for his life.

Sanler's dead, that's just an AI. Listen, we need to find the others and get the HELL out of here. Do you know where the rest of Wolf Pack is at?"

Wilk shook his head, his expression grim. "You're the only friendly face I've seen for a six hours. Everyone jumped in different hole, and comms aren't working anywhere. I was trying to get a signal when those things jumped me."

Myers was silent for a moment, then directed his attention to the holograph. "Sanler, can you give me a fix on his location?"

"Yes, I will do that. But I do not recommend going after him, however. the nanomechs seemed more agressive than previous matters, as though-"

"Can it, point me the way."

A lift adjacent to the soldier activated, and Myers walked in and prepared to rescue his Commanding Officer.
