@Mike73@Leo Khan@NecroKnightBefore long, the six operatives of BACTIS found their way to the briefing room on the top deck of the ship. It was a simple meeting room with a long table and many seats, plus a large projector screen on the southern wall. Once they entered and took a seat, their commanding officer entered the room, head of intelligence and surveillance of the BACTIS project, as well as ex soldier, Colonel Brigand. He was a fairly beefy man, crew cut grey hair and something of a chiselled jaw, but despite his appearance he was known more for his intelligence and tactics, hence him landing this position.
"Good, you're all here. We'll begin." He greeted them simply, holding a clicker in his hand he used to bring up an image onto the projector screen. It was a satellite view of a colorful looking city. "This satellite image was taken only a few minutes ago, over Barcelona. Three ground to air rockets have been fired and hit three major civillian areas. The infected are currently spreading across the city. Local authorities are attempting to contain them, but they will not last long." He clicked ahead to an image of the BACTIS logo.
"The six of you will be flown to Barcelona after this briefing. You will suit up, be equipped with the aid we have been given and enter Barcelona. Your mission will be to stem the spread of infection, assist civilians where possible and, most importantly, gather intel on Coffin's mutations. This is the most critical factor of your mission. At present we know very little about the infected and whatever is causing them to continue spreading, and until we do, there will only be more dead zones spreading out stretched resources further. So keep a watchful eye for anything you can find."
Now he reached into a small pack on the table and took out a needle and syringe, a curious light red liquid swirling inside. "Before you are dismissed, there is one last thing we must brief you on. Thanks the containment of an infected in Gujarat, we have been able to understand the spread of infection. These infected will attempt to wound you rather than kill you and this is how they will spread their infection into you. The time of infection is only 15-20 seconds, so if any of you are bitten or have an open wound in the field, it is integral you make use of this." he held up the needle. "This serum has been provided to us by the pharmaceutical company Silver Cross. It is a quick acting antidote to the infection if applied immediatley to the wounded area. You will only have 15-20 seconds and after that point, the infection will become too strong and take over. No cure for that has yet been discovered." He finished grimly, replacing the needle back into the pack. "We've been able to provide three for each of you, you will find them in your packs when you suit up." He turned from them for a moment and was quiet.
"Any questions?"
