Its a cool foggy February day, the wind howls and strong oak branches bare of leaves hang dormant, like the skeleton of a mighty giant. Lieutenant Lopez sips his coffee while sitting at his chair in the security booth. His station is built into the side of a large hill, not nearly a mountain, but high enough that it can touch the mid section of the dormant oaks. The lieutenant sits up straight at the sound of heavy wheels crashing through the dead leaves. He's been expecting this car, its carrying special cargo, something that the public shouldn't know about. Lopez presses a button and the heavy titanium blast doors open revealing the cargo lift, and MTF-omega nine, ready to transport this... anomaly to containment. Once the reinforced iron cargo crate is safely secured onto the lift, and the mobile task force is ready, the lift descends down into the bowels of FCPA containment site Kappa. 

{cut to the MTF in the lift} "So, got any idea what this thing is?" asks the new guy. "Well intell was limited, something about if it gets out just keep looking at it and don't blink." replies another operative. "John, Mack, can it!" orders the lead operative, "Jeez, such a grouch." says John. "Speaking of which, cap'n why are you so grumpy today?" asks Mack. the Captain's only response is one of his many 'death glares' he uses. "Gotcha!" Mack says as he turns away. The lift then rumbles to a halt and the doors open to reveal a crew of about ten workers ready to haul this thing to containment. The MTF escorts the workers, stopping the many scientists and guards passing through the hallways. Soon they arrived at their destination, a large blast gate with the words Entity #228. The cargo crate is hauled into the main chamber and is left there. The blast gate shuts with a clank and the workers go back to the cargo bay to organize supplies that were shipped to the site. "Well then, what do we do now?" said John with a smile "I guess we could go get lunch. Say, today's pizza day, right?" Mack replies. "What about you cap'n, you wanna get lunch?" says John to the captain. "Fine." says the captain in a gruff voice. As the MTF makes their way to the Cafe' an announcement goes over the PA confirming Macks hopes. "DON'T FORGET, TODAY IS PIZZA DAY, ALL PERSONNEL ARE INVITED TO GO TO THE CAFE' WHILE SUPPLY LASTS." the PA says.
