Delta team and Locus progressed through the intense terrain of Venus's jungles of trees and wildlife. The rapid vines and lush green leaves coated the entire trail shadowy, echoes of howling noises loom in the distance, occasional snaps of twig branches being broken in two occur in the background from some animal. The path ahead was rough with bushes, a single scribbly line of dirt made a trailway throughout the jungle. "We're hidden very well in this jungle from Scar creatures," John pointed out, wacking away a branch that covered his path. The branch smacked Locus in the head rapidly, almost giving Locus a heart attack, but he saw him move the branch as he stared ahead, so it didn't quite jump him.
"We seem to be in the clearing soon enough," Juniper said while ducking her head to avoid a cobweb of sorts. The group managed to stay together and keep them tucked in their own small family, while Locus felt like he was being treated like the outcast. He paid no attention to it and just kept his mind on his work like always. Delta team and Locus exited out of the jungle and arrived at the base, they hid behind a dirt hill and scanned the entire side entrance of the base. Burnt spots, several weapons layed out randomly, a few dead bodies of both Militia and Scars. The bloody spots that held some weapons were pieces of body parts, Locus thought some of the animals could've eaten some of them. A group of Scar soldiers arrived at the scene from the side of the wall doing a scouting patrol, "Humans!" the one destructive Scar creature exclaimed.
Locus and Company were caught by surprise as they found them hidden, they began shooting the soldiers, trying to kill them so they could advance inside the base to put a stop to the operation. Locus got behind a medium sized rock to cover himself from the rays of plasma energy passing him; Delta team does the same as well, covering themselves behind other rocks.
Locus examined how many Scar creatures were attacking while trying to avoid being burned at. "Four of them," he counted, cocking his assault rifle's magazine and pulling back the lever to ready the weapon. Locus called out how many targets there were, Delta team acknowledged his information and shifted the focus on specific targets, one for two people each. Locus sprayed the weapon at the enemy closest to him, killing him. Kate and Juniper paired up and killed the shorter Scar creature, Kate used her side pistol to damage the creature and Juniper finished it off using her high impact sniper rifle. John and Lee shot at the remaining creatures until they could no longer breath.
Afterwards after they killed the creatures, they approached the base's round like wall, Kate asked, touching the wall to feel the material, "How do we want to approach this?"
Lee responded by grabbing an object from his belt, "We'll use this explosive charge on this wall, enter inside, and find our way to the drill."
Everyone stepped back. Lee sat the charged bomb on the wall, and waited for the clock to set and explode. It released a beeping noise, it went slow at first, then sped up, and suddenly the bomb exploded, blowing a hole in the wall. Smoke released from the inside and evaporated through the surface. Locus prepared himself before they stepped in by pressing a button on the side of his helmet, activating night vision through his helmet's visor. Locus volunteered to enter first, the others followed behind him entering inside one by one. Once inside, Delta team aimed their weapon's sights both left and right to keep themselves protected. (Like a typical swat team would've) Inside it was a long and dark hallway, with red light's flashing rapidly from one end, screams, shouting, and gunshots constantly occurring further inside the base. Trash was littered everywhere on the ground, multiple Militia bodies were scattered on the ground, Kate almost tripped on one of the bodies as she tried to scale through them. No Scar bodies were seen, it was like the Militia couldn't put a dent into the Scar forces as they invaded. Locus seen through his night vision see a pipe swinging out of control with steam coming out of it. The rest couldn't see the swinging pipe until they came into view with it, (As they had flashlights attached onto their helmets instead of night vision)
They move swiftly past it ignoring it and continuing onwards through the creeping dark hallway, mystery crept around every corner they came towards, unable to prepare and plan for what could come up, it put everyone on edge, even Locus was feeling a cold chill on his shoulder as they pass through the hall.
