North American Continent
Near the Ruins of Netropolis Two Sophora continued to make its way over the towards its destination, as of late so far no issues have occurred since the journey started. Naer Udaem sat on his seat reading a digitized book well Lesse Gordan to his right was cleaning his trusty old gun. A relic you will he never uses it against real enemies just a weapon passed down from grandfather to father then to son. In today's standards it would be called an old .45 8" Magnum Revolver from before the Third World War ( Something like this). Though still useful against some enemies specifically human it was hard to maintain due to hardly anyone knows how to make ammunition or maintain it. These days almost everyone has gone automatic, or even magnetic, so for anyone watching Lesse work on it would be amassed this old man continued to have such a rarity. "You know you cleaned that old thing five times now.", Naer said as he scrolled down the hologram showing his book called 'The Adventures of Merlin and Igor'. Lesse chuckled at his old NPD Detective Partner when he soon replies, "You know its boring here and its not like much to do til we reach the ruins. Regardless not like I have anything else left, my entire family is dead and this old gun is all that is left of the Gordan family that my grandfather who fought in wars that predated the Third World War and of course the big one itself." Of course Lesse was a former NUSA Ranger, a solder at heart as his father who fought in the Bio Hazard Wars and his Grandfather before him. He still regretted his own son dying in the chaos of the fall of New York-2, his only son dead before him a 4th generation soldier who served in American military... well what was left of it. He was now finally getting old, but with what has been going on it was not like Lesse had much left to do with remaining life. The best he determined was to protect the younger generation from a threat that would ruin humanity, which every time he saw Naer he was reminded of his dead son. Though friends and partners in the Netropolis Police Department, Lesse saw Naer sort of like a second son that he never had. Of course being the rightful old age 63 he still had some fight left of him and a cybernetic arm to go with it after he lost it in Netropolis Incident. Then there was of course his loss of eye before that during his service of the NUSA during the Reconstruction Era was another story all together. "Ya, Ya... I heard that story too many times to count now. Still to think that there might be something in the ruins of Netropolis huh.", Naer said continuing to read his novel. Naer himself normally hardly did things like this, he was Chief of Intelligence after all. But no Lucas had to go order him and Lesse to investigate this rumor that Soothsayer suggested. It was annoying in itself then add to the fact of those stupid scientist tagging along too makes this job more of an pain in the butt, especially that Doctor. Oh Naer had bad vibes every time she showed up... maybe because of that one time with the tea incident. Regardless though everyone else got along with her Naer didn't he simply disliked her and he felt like an odd ball out. Speaking of him coming here, his boss had some emergency in South America and couldn't come. Well with the information too important to ignore especially if its to foil Silicethica Industries at every turn maybe it will be worth it. "Netropolis... to think we will be returning there again.", Lesse soon thought as he began to recognize some terrain, well the expected since the nuclear strike might changed things. "Only annoying issue is Radiation, with some suits we will have to extra cautious. I mean not like anything can survive radiation that easily.", Naer soon said only for a female voice to interrupt him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sayuri Reid, A New AdditionSayuri Reid, would be continued newer addition to the group. She wasn't an elite as others of the Odin's Vandir Corps. which itself would be considered the marines that defend the ship. She only recently joined due to circumstance. Regardless she was trained enough to fight but compared to others in both this and the other Sophora she was green as grass. Her squad leader Ampelios Quigg was both a veteran and harden soldier, from the jungles of the Confederacy-South Eastern Asian War he was sort of a legend with infantry. Even others from the Eurasian Union had heard of the Dirge of Palawan, to see him here was itself an achievement. Strange how their boss managed to get so many high priced and sort of figures you only hear in story to join The Shield of Ragnarok. Speaking of that she actually wondered how Ghost started this group to begin with. Ever since being saved by Ampelios and being recruited due to potential to be a very good sniper she actually saw their leader mostly from a distance. When she did see him what she saw was attractive man who was almost same age as her possibly a little older she almost fell in love with his looks. As she was daydreaming one of the guys soon shook her out of her reverie only to annoy her further. "Day dreaming Sayuri?", one of the point men who went by the name of Tatianus Eustis who was himself was a veteran of the New Crusades. He of course disliked all muslims to the point he wished to exterminate the heretics who ruined the world. Sayuri always thought that stupid that The New Crusades were sparked to exterminate all Muslims of the world due to the view that they started the chaos of the Bio Hazard Wars. In truth they were not sure who started everything only that it happened it was not like the fact was there to see. Regardless he was excommunicated for being a well known womanizer, regardless he was a very good scout thus the explanation why Ampelios recruited him for Ghost. "Not really no.", Sayuri soon managed to say annoying the older man who kept on trying to hit on her despite his 17 years difference. "Hey, hey, I am still young... in spirit.", Tatianus soon added. Tatianus Eustis, A Former Templar of the New Vatican AssemblySoon a knife was thrown between Tantianus and Sayuri by another squadron member the only other woman in the group Carroll Leblanc, another former Europan Duchy Soldier who served during the Eurasian War. She was known to be good at all sorts of bladed weaponry as well demolitions. "You keep on hitting things younger then you I will defiantly cut off that dick like I promised.", Carroll Leblanc soon said with a smile that border lined insane. Carroll Leblanc, A bit Cray Cray on the side"Hold it!! Lets discuss this Carroll I didn't do anything wrong!! After all we are all adults here!", Tatianus soon said with his hands raised. "Is that so? Then that I am young in spirit a lie then? If so act your age damn it!", Carroll soon said with other soldiers of the squad all laughed. "Hey this is not funny business damn it!!", Tatianus soon shouted. During that all this their squadron leader Ampelios was on the horn as they were beginning to get close to their destination. "Kids...", Ampelios soon muttered to himself. Ampelios Quigg, The Dirge of Palawan(Note two more characters will be introduced next turn, specifically the assistant scientist.)

[On the Sophora]
"That's incorrect Mr. Udaem."
A woman in her mid-20s sitting in the same aircraft spoke up to correct what Naer had said, the woman is wearing a lab coat that seems to stick close to the rest of her clothing, and her glasses shines as she begin to explain. The woman, professor Leimu Sharma, seems quite interested in the topic that Naer had just unconsciously brought up as she's got more than a few things to say about it.
"A fatal dose of radiation to humans would not necessary wipe out all creatures in the area, as humans actually cannot withstand much radiation. The average mouse can take up to double the amount of radiation of a human on average before it reaches fatal dosage, and there other species such as the family of Braconidae that can withstand over a hundred times of that amount, so humans are not as tough as you might think. But no worries, our research team has prepared something just for this situation."
She opens up a box that's stored on the side, it contains a suit of what looks like a hazmat suit, but seems a lot lighter and tougher. There are even some light armor plates on the front to help protect the users against attacks, at this point it's more like a suit of armor than simple protection suit.
"The RAD-Type Mk-3 would be perfect for this situation, not only will it help protect against the radiation, but it have enough plating to deflect side arms. You can also detach the parts with a single button, so if you get tangled up during exploration, you can get out without the suit holding you back. There's also..."
And she continues on and on about the suit, living creatures, and the radiation until they finally arrived at their destination.

[The Ruins of Netropolis]
Strangely, in the airspace of the ruins that were formerly known as the Netropolis, there were no flying Bio-Hazard. It's one thing to see such sight in a well defensed city, but these are simply ruins with no visible manned defense. Not just in the air, even on land it's rare to see any low level Bio-Hazard that usually runs around in the wilds to search for other prey. What remains are the aftermath of the "decision" of the Confederacy, corpses that are completely torched to charcoal, ashes that are a mixture of both what used to be humans and Bio-Hazards. The firepower of science do not discriminate, and had turn all the lifeforms into remains that gets blown into the air as the wind comes dashing through. Small amounts of plants and fungus, mutated by the radiation, are growing here and there in the ruins; their mutations allow them to give out all sorts of colorful lights, surely no one in their right mind would try to eat these things, who knows what level of radiation that a single piece of these leaves or spores might contain?
Much of the city structure had suffered the same fate, collapsed buildings and roads block off much of the paths that could be used to enter the city, the powerful radiation from the remains of the nukes will poison the land for many years ahead. The roads are unsuitable for any kind of vehicles heavier than a regular bicycle, and it would be quite difficult to travel into the city without the right equipments under these conditions. But a close inspection would allow visitors to see find some locations for entry, there are several sewage tunnels that had not been covered by blockage, and could be used to explore the undergrounds of the ruins.
It would still be dangerous, but at least you won't be directly in contact with the fallout, and buildings won't collapse on you with a single step. However who knows what might be hidden in the shadows around the corner... You could, still risk your life by trying to explore the surface, but you better hope you're the kind of person lucky enough to take multiple lightning strikes and survive. The same kind of plants and fungus grows inside the tunnels, providing tiny sources of light for anyone that heads in, which could be helpful for explorers.

As Naer saw Doctor Leimu Sharma he soon sighed and should of known she would add in her input. This was why he never tried to talk to her it always ended up something like this.
"Err...", Naer mutters well Lesse began to laugh.
"You were kinda of asking for this Naer. Still her explanation of type of new RAD suit is quite good. I say it will change our plans dramatically and for the good. Seriously you need to lighten up, Doctor Sharma knows what she is doing. I mean there is a reason Lucas recruited her.", Lesse added.
"Doesn't mean I have to like her.", Naer responded which another person soon interrupted him.
"That is very unhealthy you know.", another man who was recognized as another doctor.
Dopot Sevens, Doctor Sharna Assistant #1
"What does that suppose to mean!", Naer said back to Dopot.
The assistant soon chuckled then replies, "It's exactly what I said if you dislike someone especially another fellow officer of The Odin eventually it would become toxic. Also who knows we might get you a defective suit then who will save you eh?- OUCH!", Dopot soon said only for a punch go the back of his head.
"If thst happens then Doctor Sharma ' perfect record will get ruined!", another girl around his age soon shouted at Dopot.
Yistuarh Leith, Doctor Sharma Assistant #2
"Why you hit me?!", Dopot shouted.
"Because your being an idiot! On why Doctor Sharma made you #1 I will never know hrmph.", Yistuarh said as her orange hair flew around.
"Uhhgrhhh... why must the entire gang of them had to come.", Naer moaned.
Only the laughter of Lesse could be heard for the rest of the way til they landed near Netropolis City.
_________________________________________________________________________
As the two Sophora landed to the best spot to put down both vehicles both sides were putting on their RAD Mark III suits. Both sides were readying themselves and once ready everyone came out into a group meeting.
"Alright for now we will look for a way into the city. Be on alert even if no one is around therr is chance anything csn happen. We will spilt into three teams try to find any way in if you do report back here.", Amelia ordered.
Soon the Vandir Corps squadron to find any way to get in well the scientist and others stayed behind til they returned.

[On the Sophora]
The doctor didn't try to stop the bickering between her assistants, and instead just cross her legs and sit back. The two argue pretty often anyways, she had already given up on trying to stop them... or to pronounce their names, and instead calls them by their nicknames that she had forced on them when she first met them. Besides, there's no harm in having arguments as long as it doesn't heat up and cause problems for their work. To the comment Depot made, Leimu simply smiles at Naer without having any extra input into what Depot suggested.
-
[The Ruins of Netropolis]
After a quick search, the explorers should be able to find a few tunnels into the city. Though there are several of them, only three of them seems safe enough to enter without worries of collapsing or heavy radiation, which Leimu recommends to not have contact with even with the new RAD suits.
"Remember everyone, the RAD-Type Mk-3 might be a great protection suit, it is not almighty; a heavy enough dosage would still be able to have unwelcoming side effects on the user inside. So I recommend that we try to choose paths that have lower levels of radiation, so we can reduce the side effects to minimum. Easter(Yistuarh), Depo(Dopot), give everyone some of the radio protection agents."
She instructs her assistants to hand out small, tic-tac like containers to the others, while she continues to explain about the new medicine.
"Some of you might have heard about our project to produce medicine that can give higher protection or recovery from radiation, these are first batch of produced samples. It will grant a very high level of protection, but please be warned that it only have a short amount of effect time. Not only that, it has side effects such as drowsiness, headaches, and other conditions similar to how Mr. Udaem acted the first time I met him in the local bar. So I won't recommend using it in cases other than absolute emergencies."
The small containers really don't have much inside them, at most 3 pills are inside, causing sounds when you shake the tiny box. There's a button on the side that when pressed, the pill would get bounced out by a spring to reduce time needed to take the medicine during emergency.
"If any of you suffered any injuries, please report to one of us in the research teams. During the explorations we can only provide first aid and simple surgeries, but no worries, both of my assistants can get you back up on your feet... well, maybe not Depo since he can be a bit harsh on the judgement to amputate, or Easter who is quite heavy on the analgesic so you might be out for the operations. But don't worry, you'll live, that's all that matters right?"

Both Dopot and Yistuarh began to hand out all the medicine to all the soldiers as well Naer and Lesse. The explanation made Naer stare at it like it was poison Lesse shook his head then asks,"Too scared?"
"What? It's just first batch of any medicine usually has side affects... and mentioning the kind from 'that incident' just brings back memories.", Naer soon said looking at his pills with slight fear.
Ampelios simply nodded fully understanding the situation, as a soldier he knew every advantage could be a line of life and death. During this three Vandir Corps soldiers came up telling of the three only safe tunnels that could get into the city. He soon nodded then turned to Naer.
"Looks like there is only three ways to get inside. I suggest for us to split up.", Ampelios soon said which Naer then nodded back.
"Alright... Ampelios will take charge of Team 2, Lesse your in charge of Team 3, well I take Team 1.", Naer soon said which then they began to split up.
With Ameplios, Dopot, Tatianus Eustis, and others would form Team 2. Lesse with Carroll Leblanc, Yistuarh Leith and others formed Team 3. Well Naer would take Sayuri Reid, Doctor Sharma, as well others of the Vandir Corps. Each Team would take route of the number to Letter, Team 1 to A and so on. When everyone was in place Naer activated his radio then says, "Alright there is high probability there might be interference with our radios when we go down. Keep checks if possibly every ten minutes. If you run into trouble and unable to resolve it fall back. Remember we here to do a job not die."
With that everyone entered the tunnel to attempt to enter the city.

[The Ruins of Netropolis, Route A+B+C]
Following the rest of the team, Leimu enters the ruins, but staying at the rear in case any hostile beings appear. As they explore, she stops the team several times in order to collect samples of the mutated plants for research purposes, and let the soldiers do the exploring and searching.
Much of the ruins are, well, in ruins. Rubble cover most of the path, blocking off otherwise usable routes and reducing the line of sight of the explorers. There's also many other obstacles such as blast doors and bar screens, some of the still powered ones could be hacked and opened by the three researchers, but others would require explosives or much physical labor to open. Charred or rotten corpses lay there and there in the sewers, mostly caused by the nuclear strike and it's after effects, but there are also some that have pieces of them chewed off their body.
Those aren't the only problem they have, looks like there's still some Bio-Hazard in the sewers, and some of them begin to attack the three teams. Luckily most of them are small, low level critters that won't be much of a threat... or what it may seem.
"Be careful, the geiger counter is going crazy against these things, any direct contact with them might cause prolong problems to your health. The suit's armor plating should help against their attacks, but try to not risk it. You should also try to not stay too close to them when engaging in combat, their body fluid could also contain heavy dose of radiation."
Roughly a dozen of these green glowing rats gets alerted by the explorers, and moves to attack the humans for entering their territory. They're around the size of the average cat, glowing in bright light, and with a set of sharp fangs that could be used to stab through their prey. But something seems strange here, how are a group of Bio-Hazard at only this level managed to have control over this area? Perhaps they might not be as weak as they seem, or that they have something up their sleeves. After all, just like the saying, "a cornered rat will bite the cat".

Team 1:
Naer's team moved deeper into the tunnel, with a few Vandis Corps. Troopers in front Naer in the middle with Sayuri with her sniper rifle readied on the back near Doctor Sharma. As they continued to move deeper Naer was noticing the various "things" about. Notable the samples Doctor Sharma was gathering which made him think bad idea. This was always an issue with him and those researcher types, simply because they tended to have a bad streak of messing with more then they should do. As they came up to a closed off section Naer sighed which he and the other troopers began to pry open the door. Luckily with how ruined the place gotten so quickly it was not hard to open it. Now when it came to a working door he was forced to be relied on Doctor Leimu Sharma for anything of that sort. Throughout the entire time he noticed newest member of this Ameplios Squadron Sayuri Reid, though she has some skill as a soldier compared to the others she was green as grass. Even though the world had many soldiers not all of them have fought in either a large scale war and if they did it was only against fellow humans. These days less soldiers unless on the frontier lands hardly or never fought Bio Hazards before, mostly with humanity relying on The Hunters. or their own Nation's Nano Wardens to deal with the problem.
So for her to be nervous of course would be normal, Vandir Corps. do train their recruits but it's more a trial by fire is what really made them. Though a normal person wouldn't be able to tell she is nervous Naer been around long enough to know.
"Relax Reid, the likihood to finding something alive is very low. So relax and keep your eyes pelled then we will get through this.", Naer soon said with her soon nodding at him back.
'Kids... I am getting to old for this.'
As soon they madr deeper then they heard something. A dozen smaller mutated looking rats all began to appear before them. They stopped aiming their weapons at them with Naer soon whispering,"Wait... no sudden motions."
They were stopped to what to be some form of bio hazard? These of course didn't look familiar to what he seen in Netropolis before. We're they new residents or simply rats somehow getting infect-
"Crap... if they are what I think they are.", Naer soon said with Sayuri looking at him with worried eyes.
"What you think they are?", Sayuri soon asked.
Without replying he soon got a rock a small one at that and wanted to make sure they were similar to The Bringer of Agony and Rebirth. He soon threw it over nearby to see what they do. Which of course lead them to attack suddenly.
"Crap quickly fire!! Fire!", Naer soon said as the soldiers all began to aim towards the glowing enemy then began to spray lead into them.
During this Sayuri was unable to fire for first time seeing a bio hazard suddenly one rat jumped towards her only for Naer to take out his magnetic magnum which he fired at it in mid air before it could attack Sayuri.
"Kid stay calm Damn it!", Naer shouted.
_________________________________________________________________________
Team 2:
"Soo... its like that huh?", Dopot soon said to Tatianus.
"Yep, just stay close and we will be out of this very quickly.", Tatianus soon said to Dopot with a smile.
They continued to head deeper into the tunnel, throughout this.
"For some odd reason I feel safer with you guys", Dopot soon said feeling he got the lucky draw.
As soon as they made through next part of the tunnel, Ameplios' hand was raised which everyone stopped.
Dopot soon wondered what was going on then asks, "Uhh what happened?"
"Shh!!", Tatianus soon said as they heard something.
Something was coming which Ameplios soon orders, "Get Ready, whatever it is shoot it to kill."
Suddenly it felt like it went silent... then in front of Dopot gun fired erupted as little glowing rat like bio hazard's the size of cars charged in. All that Dopot could do was scream.
_________________________________________________________________________
Team 3:
With Lesse's group they were already engaged with the glowing rats as they moved into formation shooting anything that moved toward them. Throughout this Yistuarh was extremely calm staying close to Lesse well Carrol took point taking out anything that tried to get close.
"Whatever these things are just to be safe keep them away!", Carrol soon shouted as the shooting continued.

[Route A/B/C]
The rats were cleared out quite easily, seeing they have little difference from a regular animal other than their size, however it looks like their fangs aren't the only weapon they have. A minute or so after the rats have been killed, they explode into chunks of meat, and releasing the radiation stored inside their body into the air. The act greatly increase the danger of staying near the location, so it would be better if the team could quickly decide to keep moving forward or retreat.
-
[Deeper into the ruins]
"Boss! Boss!"
"What the hell are you panicking about? Spit it out."
Deep inside the ruin seems to be some sort of livable area, barrels of fuel helps light up the area with their flames, and these makeshift fireplace seems to be cooking creatures similar to the ones the explorers has just fought. The inhabitants seems to be human, but are mostly wearing worn down, patched up pieces of light armor, and none of them seems worried about eating these neon glowing bio-hazards. Their leader is sitting on a sofa that at least are not falling apart, eating his meal on a tray instead of just by hands like the rest of his men. The man is close to 7 feet tall, wearing the Confederation Power Armor, and a Machine Gun by his side.
"We heard gunshots down the halls!"
"So what? The piece of junk at the Eastern area shoots all the time."
"But we heard voices too!"
"Hmph, hey Joe, turn on the monitor, see if we can get more than this moron's words."
"Lets see... yeah it's up boss."
A medium size screen on the side gets turned on as one of the men direct power to it, some of the screens are broken but a few of them still works as they link it to the security system of the city. Some of the cameras caught visual of the explorers fighting off the rats, and give a fairly clear view of the members.
"Well well... who do we got here... those piece of shit up top finally sent someone over? Hah!"
"What should we do boss?"
"Like what we always do! They didn't want the city anymore, so it's ours now! Outside they might have power, but it's my rules down here! They got women too, whoever kills the most gets to pick first!!"
His promises got the rest of his men to cheer and praise their boss, but a few of the older looking followers goes up to him, looking a bit concerned about something.
"But boss, have you forgotten? Today is the day that the High Priest will come give us his teachings today, we can't be disrespectful and keep him waiting..."
"No problem, we'll just give him some prisoners as our offering to the Lord! With his blessings we'll be even more successful! After all, we can't let the sacred ground of Netropolis be soiled by these infidels!"
"That... is truth, then we'll stay behind to explain to the High Priest when he arrives, good fortune to you all."
"Joe! Turn on the turrets! Show them who owns this place!"
-
[Route A]
The doctor watches Naer and his team fight the rats, noting that they should be able to keep her safe without the need to use any "unnecessary methods". She did however, saw how some of them were pretty inexperienced, like Sayuri. So she decides to be prepared in case anything bad happens.
"Hm, I wonder..."
As they finish off the rats, Leimu continues to look at the remains of the rats, thinking of gathering some samples from the creatures too. But she seems to have noticed something strange before the rest of the group, the rats are... expanding? She jumps back a distance, and pulls Sayuri back with her, away from the remains of the rats.
"Everyone be careful! They'll explode!"
And this was a few seconds before the rats burst into pieces, not something good to experience, but it could be a fun thing to watch! Their suit would be enough to protect them from the increased radiation, but if the pieces make contact with them it might eat through the armor plates or even the suit itself. So before that happens Leimu ducks behind some obstacles, and gets everyone else to do the same.
-
[Route B]
Some power gets diverted over to the area, and some of the lights gets turned on, giving the explorers more visual. But this is not necessary a good thing, a few seconds later, two hidden turrets emerges from their storage and begins to fire at the explorers. Each one of the turrets armed with a 5mm Gatling Gun, enough to shred the team in seconds if not dealt with quickly. Thankfully they seem to be damaged, and won't be able to move their mounted weapon too fast, if you're quick enough you might be able to get around it and perhaps even dismantle it for the weapons.
-
[Route C]
Similar to the other side, some of the power gets diverted over to the area. But instead of turrets, a blast door slams shut a distance behind the explore team. The door seems pretty durable, designed to keep out bio-hazard, it would need some heavy weapons to punch through it. The console to unlock it doesn't seem to be next to the door either, perhaps it's controlled at another location.

Team 1:
"When Naer soon heard Doctor Sharma said after she was about to check the rats quickly Naer shouted for everyone to get cover. Promptly he and the other moved away from them taking cover. The explosion rocked them but so far everyone was alright. With that done he soon readied himself with Sayuri next to him a bit sick to see what happened but to Naer another day on the job.
"Don't worry it happens to those who ever fought a Bio Hazard before. These days a lot of soldiers prefer fighting fellow humans but when it comes to Bio Hazards unless your 'used' to expecting them you can get quite sick.", Naer soon added which Sayuri soon nodded.
With that Naer soon orders everyone to move forward well during this Naer soon asks Doctor Sharma, "Doctor what you think anything else could of survived? So far its not looking good and I am worried about the other teams."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Team 2:
"Take cover!!", Ameplios shouted as those turrets soon bared them selves on them.
"What? How?! Why those still working?!", Dopot shouted from his own corner cowering.
Tatianus was first to reply promptly, "Possibly it didn't get destroyed in the chaos and due to being still powered possibly motion censored. Either that or there is an evil AI out to murder us all.", Tatianus joked.
"That... T-That is not funny!:m Dopot shouted back with Ameplios getting annoyed.
"Stop scaring the doctor we need to take out that turret. Tatianus your up.", Ameplios soon said which he soon nodded taking out his weapon firing at it to distract the turret well Ameplios moved forward quickly from one cover to another. His goal was to get close enough to power down the turrets. If success he would time his movement right then slide right under the turret that it wouldn't hit him.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Team 3:
When the door closed both Lesse and Carrol cursed at their sheer luck.
"Well that is nice.", Carroll soon said with a shrug and Lesse adding, "Ah I almost forgot this city at these installed."
Of course this meant they were trapped, with a best case scenario could lead to a dead end which then they would be for sure in trouble.
"Maybe there is a control panel to open it or even a way to hot wire it to open?", Yistuarh soon suggested.
Lesse soon nodded then replies, "If I remember correctly these tunnels should have a maintenance hatch somewhere. Usually they were installed for emergencies which both it have tools and possibly a map of the underground tunnels."
Carroll agreed then adds, "Well lets get moving then." _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"It's very possible that there are other bio-hazard here, after all that is the main reason why your teams were sent here along with the research team. But it'll be hard for anyone of us to give you an accurate answer on what exactly might we find here."
She takes out a notebook and flips to a section containing the data of bio-hazards that existed in the area, then points at the remains of the rats while showing Naer the data.
"Just by observation, these rats seems to be similar to the Mutated Rats that formerly lived in the area. Ranking at F-, they were barely a threat to even children. But as you can see, their aggression, size, and power had greatly increased to much higher level due to unconfirmed reasons. If we assume that there are other bio-hazard that had gone through similar mutations, we could be facing creatures that are vastly greater than we are able to deal with."
Then she flips to another page containing the data of code name 'Ruler's Fist', which actually did not have much other than a sketch of the unconfirmed bio-hazard, and with much mysteries on it's abilities.
"For example, if another Ruler's Fist appeared in the area, it might be more powerful than it's recorded strength at B rank, possibly giving it the strength of a B+, or even A- rank. But a bio-hazard of that size would be unlikely to take habitat in such narrow area with little food, and the more powerful bio-hazard tends to be larger in size, as you can see from those rats just now."
She then closes the notebook shut, and placing it back in her backpack before turning back to Naer.
"So if you ask me, I'll have to place my bets on that we won't see high ranked bio-hazards. But it'll be up to you to decide on what to do next, as the lead scientist my request is that we continue in order to find new leads and information."

It's one thing to move as a group, but a single person won't be able to distract the targeting system enough to pull off such feat, one of the turret quickly turn and fire at Ameplios when he gets closer. The targeting system seems to adjust according to the threat level of the targets, which includes equipment, distance, and overall fighting ability when it comes to deciding on the target to shoot at. Ameplios' shooting sure didn't make him any less of a threat, if anything the turrets are more trained on him than on the others. It's a computer, so it's unlikely to move other than the way it is programmed to, perhaps there are better way to do this?

[Route C]
A distance into the tunnels, the team would find the hatch that Lesse had in mind. But they would find that the hatch seems to be blocked by something on the surface, stopping those underneath from opening the hatch. On the bottom of the ladders to the hatch is a skeleton, wearing uniforms similar to the sewerage management teams of Netropolis. Looks like the guy had the same idea as Lesse on escaping through the hatch, but had suffered the same problem with the hatch being blocked. Any tools that were on or near the body had been taken, however there were the map of the sewers right under the bones. Many paths are blocked off now, but at least it's better than just wandering around. If the map is correct then one of the office should be near by, but is electronically locked, good thing the team have someone that can deal with that.

Team 1:
Naer heard her explanation which made logical sense which made him sigh at the prospect running into Bio Hazards made worse then before. Who's bright idea was to nuke the area to stop them spread again? Oh wait it was the Confederacy and RUNE's idea. It worked in New York-2, so it must work in Netropolis right? Nuclear weapons were both a blessing and a bane against Bio Hazards after all most things including Bio Hazard's side in that fiery blaze, only reason it didn't work originally because the Bio Hazard King took out the nuclear missile facilities before they could be used. 'Seriously we humans always fuck up something.'
Naer soon responds, "If another Ruler's Fist shows up... we are done for. Only person who ever actively fought it and knows its tactics is our fearless Leader Ghost."
Sayuri was hearing of two of them talk then asks, "Huh? Ruler's Fist?"
Sayuri finally regained her composure as the group continued walking leaving Naer left to explain.
"Ruler's Fist a nick name or a giant like hand Bio Hazard it appeared at the beginning of the Netropolis Incident before the 5th Nightmare and 6th Nightmare appeared. It was giving the NPD a ton of trouble we lost many good guys against it. Ghost founder and leader of this group back then was the only one who actively fought it. Even then he had trouble as well, best thing is there is no Ruler's Fist if there is I fear we will all die.", Naer soon said to her who eyes widen.
The group continued to walk with Sayuri stopping in her tracks soon muttering, "We.... we will die without a fight?"
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Team 2:
Ampelios soon was taking cover then shouts, "Now!"
Quickly the rest of the team moved forward sticking lower in cover now that the turret was trained at Ampelios then rest of the team moved. During this one of team members was readying a sticky Grenade and sole goal was make the machine concentrate on Ameplios to allow the rest of the team to get close enough as two sticky Grenades were thrown one at each turret, having a slight delay after impact to explode.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Team 3:
"Hey Old man he found it.", Carroll soon said as Lesse nodded as they saw where the hatch should be.
"Well... looks like he had same idea in mind.", Lesse said noticing as their sheer luck.
During this one of the soldiers were looking until they found the map underneath, who then threw it to Carroll.
"At least we got a map.", Carroll said with relief which Lesse soon walked up to her to take a look.
After looking at the map for a brief moment Lesse sighed then says, "Why am I not shocked... electronically locked. Yistuarh looks like we are going to need your assistance."
Yistuarh head shot up then nods promptly which then Lesse now with the map says, "Alright lets head over there, hopefully its not a trap of some kind or power down."
With that Team 3 continued to move forward without much incident.

"Don't worry, like I said, it's unlikely we'll encounter something of that level, or else more soldiers would be sent over for this mission. And without a second sample, these are only prediction, so keep alert but don't be worried by it."
Leimu calms down the newbie, and give her a few clear points so that it's easy to understand. If she give a long explanation like the one she had for Naer, it might take sometime to understand, and won't be as effective in calming the members of the team. Treating Sayuri like someone that is a lot younger than the girl's actual age, Leimu pats her on the head a few times to get her attention back and to distract her from unnecessary thoughts. She also gives Naer a brief glare at spreading panic to the rest of the team, and make a note to herself to give his dose of radiation clearing medicine in a large needle, possibly needed to be stabbed in the wrong places if necessary.

The turrets made an attempt to intercept the grenades by firing in the general direction where they came from, but most of the bullets flew towards the member that threw the grenade instead of hitting the grenade itself. The stickies hit their target, and explodes. The damage was higher than expected, and was able to destroy the vital parts of the turrets. Unfortunately for the survivors, the explosion had damaged the parts too much, and it would be impossible to savage the weapon off it.

[Route C]
When they managed to get the door open, the explorers would be able to find a pretty intact office. Most of the computers in the room are broken, but there are some paper notes that might interest the explorers. There are also plans on searching a newly discovered underground area, found during an expansion of the sewerage system. If the information are accurate then it should be close to where Team 2 is heading towards.

Team 1:
The team continued forward though Naer sense some sort of foreboding dread, for some unknown reason. As they continued forward Naer soon mentions, "Oh Sharma did Lu-Ghost tell you anything about this mission? I know only because of some rumor, wasn't paying attention he was really in a hurry to get on Calamity's transport to head to South America for some odd reason."
Of course Naer caught himself after all only senior officers knew Ghost's true identity, his family name alone would make people stop in their tracks. As for not using his false identity it would no longer usable due to officially that person is now dead. This left with his new name Ghost, fearless leader of The Shield of Ragnarok and a romantic technically in Naer's opinion in trying to find his lost love. Just don't go on telling that to the others since this is his own opinion. Unless it dealt with Casha and even then she is also here for the same reason, what happened in Netropolis and that fucking traitorous mayor who got away.

Team 2:
"Well that destructive.", Dopot soon managed to say after his hiding well the real workers did their work.
Tatianus soon laughes then brings him up, "You know I will defiantly tell Yistuarh about this."
"Please god no!! Don't it will make my life miserable!!", Dopot exclaimed which Ameplios took a look at the damage knowing full well it was not salvageable.
"Stop joking you do we must make it out so we can regroup on the other side. Though we made through this much I got a feeling there is a reason the Boss sent us here.", Ameplios soon said which perked up both Dopot and Tatianus face's up.
"Huh?", the both of them said, which Ameplios then says, "Its only a gut feeling but there must be more then the Boss leant on about this mission. He was in quite a hurry when he did this and couldn't come himself so he assigned Naer and Lesse on this job if you two didn't know. Saying something about rumors as of late.", Ameplios soon said as the rest of the team were getting ready to continue going further.
"Wait your telling us Ghost was originally going to come on this mission?", Dopot soon asked.
"Yes he was meaning to check up on a rumor from the North... so far nothing but still if it got his interest must be something. Regardless he had more pressing manners to attend to in South America which couldn't be cancelled.", Ameplios stated which meant something else was going on.
"Ah I see.", Dopot managed to ask but was not in point asking what the other mission was.
"Alright let's get moving the longer we are here the longer chances are we will run into something.", Ameplios soon said as the squadron continued to move forward.
They soon moved forward arriving into a part that looked different from the rest. The unknown area had another tunnel leading else where and wondered what was that about.
________________________________________________________________________________
Team 3:
As the group came up to the locked door Lesse and Carroll got to the side of it with the rest of the team taking a look around. Yistuarh soon got on her knees as she took out a tablet looking device which connected to the lock, a hologram soon jumped out of the tablet showing various thing of the lock.
"Hrmm... this is actually quite an old lock from the late 21st century. This will be actually extremely easy and done in a few seconds.", Yistuarh soon said as she began to move parts of the hologram around typing and touching as she went.
It would look like one of those kids playing a video game but in fact its all in pure numbers and looked complicated, well to an old man like Lesse it was beyond his knowledge. He rather have an old mobile touch device of the early 21st century then these holographic shit. As like it was magic Yistuarh soon got up saying, "Bingo. There you go now its your turn."
Lesse and Carroll nodded as they both readied themselves to kick the door open. As soon as they did they have their weapons trained inside, Lesse with his old Magnum and Carroll with a standard lower powered magnetic plasma pellet Pistol. As they moved in another team member threw a small micro drone which launched inside which began to light up the room.
"Well looks clear, probably ran out when the chaos happened during the Incident Lesse soon said as they all began to look around.
"What?!!", Yistuarh soon said as brought both Lesse and Carroll to her as the rest of the team looked around.
"What happened kid?", Lesse managed to say which he saw... nothing.
"I don't see a problem at all here.", He soon managed to say which to his dismay Yistuarh picked up a piece of paper shouting, "Who the fuck still uses paper in this day and age!! Its like soo a century ago! No wonder Netropolis fell they were relying on soo much OLD shit."
Lesse soon sighed because he did love paper too, even in this day and age no one uses paper, except a few and rich people. Not to mention he liked Netropolis good city even if it did some old fashion stuff occasionally.
"Well you two are talking about old and new shit. I found what we were looking for and then some.", Carroll soon stated as she threw a few pieces of paper at Lesse which he looked at it.
"We will be able to hook up with team two here huh.", Lesse soon said as he looked at the paper. But then the second paper which was under it looked to be a report. Specifically a report to send in a request to the NPD Dagger unit into a sewer not to long before when Netropolis Incident took place. Reading carefully he soon shuttered.
"This sewer section was evacuated before the Incident for reasons unknown. The entire Dagger Unit that was requested determined to abandoned this part of the sewer and put in NPD Sentry Drones to keep in eye on it. Which to me I looked at the date... it was same day as that attack in the middle of the city between The Many and the NPD Dagger Unit.", Lesse soon said which meant only one thing.
Carroll looked at it and couldn't only say, "Aww Shit THOSE?!!"

"He did, but if you would read the briefing files you might be able to figure out the reason."
They had a brief meeting before Lucas left, so Leimu knew a bit on the main reason on why they're here.
"He was thinking of gathering some samples, on the few powerful bio-hazards that appeared in Netropolis before it was hit by the nuclear missiles. Thinking that it might be able to give us some clue on his... goal."
Leimu herself think that their leader had a cute goal, but it'll be a waste of time to come here. It's been quite some time since Netropolis had been destroyed, so it would be unlikely to find any fresh samples, if any at all. Not to mention it's even further unlikely that the sample would be... safe to be researched on, it could be harmful to make contact with the remains of such powerful bio-hazards. But nevertheless she came, it's a good chance for the team to check out the area, and gather non-harmful substances for R&D purposes.
She continues along with the team, and decides to have some conversations so it would be less dull as they head through the halls.
"Your name is... Sayuri was it? Are you feeling better now? It's not uncommon for newly stationed personnel to develop mental stress during their first few combats, so don't worry yourself over it, believe in your training and ability. Show some confidence so the rest of us here would feel more safe, right?"

[Route B]
Down the path the team traveled at are a newly dug up area, shovels, pickaxes, and carts are abandoned on the ground by their users. The area seems much different from the rest of the city, for one the walls are made out of much more durable materials, solid enough to endure the nuclear strike without even a crack. An unknown symbol are painted on some of the walls, possibly belonging to the former owner of this lab. Under the symbol are a short line of words, seemingly the slogan of the company.
{Gransela Arms, Bears or Communists, here's our finest}
There's several skeletons along the halls, some wearing lab coats while others a construction outfit. Most of the areas seems to be buried in dirt, but one of the room seems to be accessible.
Inside the room is pitch dark without any signs of light, but luckily there's a switch near the entrance, which would be their best bet for a light switch. Upon activation, the entire room lights up, showing a quite messy lab. Looks like the walls are not able to absorb all the forces, and had broke the more fragile equipments in the lab. However on one of the large screen that managed to survive, some graph and numbers shows that it'll take a few moment before the system would be fully powered.
On some tables on the side are more and more paper for the team to check, which seems to contain some information on a new hand-held, portable laser weapon, which might be the weapon that is on display at the other end of the room. By the time the explorers are done reading, the power has fully restored in the room, and a voice in the speaker greets them.
"System fully restored, status all green. Welcome to the Kansas Lab, Doctor Akagi."
Looks like the ID card that's conveniently stuck in the power switch helped on the identification...
"Warning, unauthorized personnel detected, code 7 charter b, in 5."
Something doesn't seem to be right, as the door behind them shuts tightly, blocking off anyone inside or outside from heading between the room and the hall.
"4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Deploying Sentry Bots."
Four heavy, bulky robots scrolls out from an opening that appeared on the side, and lines out in front of the large screen. Clicking sounds on parts of their body as they release the safety on their weapons, after that's done they before to speak.
"Carrying out code 7, charter b. Lethal force authorized, leave no man standing, combat engaged!"
Their right 'hands' open up to reveal gatling guns similar to those on the automated turrets that the team had fought earlier, the difference is that these turrets can, with quite some speed too. Their left hands opens up to a different equipment, a grenade launcher, they fire a wave of smoke grenades over before loading up different types of ammunition for the weapon. The smoke does not seem to affect their aim, their sensor seems to be advance enough to be able to see through the clouds and have accurate shots at the intruders.
-
[Team 3]
The data of the drones are among the scattered paper too, showing something that seems to be armed with a flamethrower. It'll be quite effective against weaker bio-hazards, but would be less than moderate against the higher level ones that tend to develop great defense.

Team 1:
As Naer heard Doctor Sharma's reply he soon sighed at her response and regretted saying anything. As they continued to walk down the path Sayuri heard what the good doctor soon said taking her out of her own thoughts.
"It-It's not that! Just not used to seeing the real article in front. Killing another person I can handle but seeing those things, we're quite unsettling.", Sayuri managed to say which made sense.
"She originally was an new recruit for the Confederacy which she was deployed into the front lines due to getting low on man power. Her entire unit was killed in an ambush and if it wasn't for Ameplios' own unit she would of been dead too. Ever since she been training her marksmanship but never once ran into or fought a Bio Hazard before. Others much older and more expierence had, she was only brought because of her lack of experience. After all even with all her training with the rifle and knowing everything it is be a marksmen; all that needed experience to allow her to grow.
"T-Thank Doctor... I needed that.", Sayuri managed to say which meant she heard what she needed to hear. Even if not confident of she at least showed it a little maybe she can get through this ordeal and not bring down the team.
______________________________________
Team 2:
As they moved towards the unknown cave they were greeted what they didn't expect.
"What is God's name is this place?", Tatianus soon asked as they were greeted with a unrecognizable place.
"A lost lab?", Ameplios soon suggested which likely was it looked like one.
Looking like a kid in a candy store Dopot was jubilant on their prospects in findings. He being a assistant to doctor Sharma at least is trained in both scientific and other fields to study in this world that had been ruined. After all it was up to them to find all lost technology and make new technology to give mankind more of an edge. As they came up to a screen Dopot began to notice the name.
"No way...", he began to say which Tatianus soon asks, "What?"
Dopot soon jumped for joy shouting,"So something did survive the third world war!"
Ameplios was intrigued then asks,"What you mean survived?"
Dopot then went on a brief history on who were Gransela Arms. One of the former USA military contractors who was one of the most advanced. They were corporate rivals to ConDoin Industries in the field of military and non military application. Both companies had a huge rivalry so much so it was always an ad against each other. What is important is that Gransela Arms at least on the traditional technology was ahead of its time. Only reason why ConDoin Industries won was likely sabotage and getting their bio armor finished quicker.
"So your telling me this lab was one of the many labs that they had?", Ameplios soon asked which Dopot nodded.
"Well I'll be damn... but looks like nothing is workable now.", Tatianus soon said which suddenly the screen turned on.
After hearing what was said and then suddenly the word sentry bots were said all them of them tense along with others.
"Crap... take cover!", Ameplios soon shouted as everyone went to the floor. ______________________________________
Team 3:
As they read more notes on what they read they continued to look around. After all they had to make double sure they found everything. Once they did they would soon leave the room towards the meet up way.
