Contamination

[Wesker]

Location: Planet Tangier Laboratory

After fighting their way through several infected soldiers, they knew the contamination was likely not just limited to deck 11, the entire facility could be at risk. Director Draay had been nagging Viking repeatedly for a status update and to restrain Engel. Viking hadn't updated him, he was too focused on fixing the shock absorbents. Along the way they had acquired another pilot by the name of Lena Reimann, a young ambitious woman, but soft. She and some of the Agents showed hesitation in killing several of the infected men and women they had once fought side by side with. It didn't matter to Viking however, he knew the consequences of failure would be far more dire than the reality of success.

Luckily for them the shock absorbents weren't heavily damage, as the group worked their way into the room where the controls were they could see that the absorbents were manually turned off. The date recorded that they were shut off before the outbreak happened which told Viking someone had intentions of sabotage. That someone likely being Dr. Engel, given his access codes were used to enter the room just a few minutes before the absorbents were shut off. Viking immediately contacted the two men escorting Engel out of the facility again.

RESTRAIN ENGEL DO NOT LET HIM LEAVE THE SURFACE UNTIL I ARRIVE PERSONALLY.

We have him restrained sir, we're up at the primary entrace desk.

Hold there until we arrive.

Viking switched channels and contacted Director Draay the other soldiers and Lena stood by as he spoke.

Director, we have Engel restrained, it's likely he's the one that caused this, he disabled the shock absorbents and likely crippled other parts of the facility before the outbreak. I'm heading up to interrogate him now, I'm ordering the rest of the forces back up to the higher levels. The lower decks are completely overrun. I'll contact you as soon as-

A strange growling noise could be heard in the distance, the lights went out. As they switched on night vision googles, they could see a horde of infected personnel moving towards them. Viking didn't hesitate, he shouted and gunfire rang out immediately.

HOLD, DON'T LET THEM GET ANY CLOSER, GO FOR THE HEAD, CONSERVE AMMUNITION!

The barrel of Viking's assault rifle began to overheat, he switched to his sidearm. After nearly 15 minutes of shooting they couldn't see anything else, it went quiet.

We need to get to deck 3, we have a traitor waiting for us, you'll either be staying here to fight this or be re-deployed elsewhere.

It was as if they were walking over a graveyard as they made their way to the elevator. The faces of what were good people and friends had quickly been stolen by the nomads, Engel had a lot to answer for. Viking opened a facility wide comm to the security forces.

All security forces move back to deck 3, this wasn't a coincidence it was sabotage, we have the traitor restrained. Re-group at deck-3.
