The facility sent out an alert around 9:30 AM, thought to be no big deal until the reports started getting worse as the morning went on. Guards were being taken down by aliens they couldn't even describe while the calls for help multiplied. The first responders were never heard from usually as soon as they entered the facility, National Guard was mobilized to no better results as the day dragged on. An elite military unit, the HECU was sent in late that day but not to help. The situation had to be shut down with no witnesses to the strange experiments that had gone so wrong. The HECU had a bit of early success but quickly got bogged down by increasing amounts of alien forces and something else unexplained. A few pickets stopped reporting in after sighting an armed employee, as the sightings (and deaths) grew more attention started being paid to this scientist in the strange orange gear, better ambushes got set up on an old rail system. The scientist barely slowed down while chewing his way through the ambush on the way to a rocket that was believed to be his target. Now there was real concern, one civvie was tearing through Marines and aliens without stopping to accomplish something as yet unknown. There was brief chatter that he had been caught but contact was lost shortly afterwards in that sector. Whatever had happened there clearly didn't hurt the unstoppable scientist because he ambushed and destroyed a brigade in a shipping terminal. It was time to get serious, the alien attack was ramping up and pushing back on the gains made by the HECU and this rogue scientist wasn't helping. A massive trap was set up at the hydroelectric dam with a smaller trap at the main entrance of the biological labs. The first trap was hit soon afterwards, all radio contact lost after a massive firefight. Despite it only being one man it sounded like the squad got hit with ten at once. The ambush at the damn waited, then sprung the trap as the orange figure was seen, the soldiers on the ground were dropped fast but the gunship chased him into a large warehouse. The remaining troops relaxed, now it was over. That stopped when the man stepped back outside and shot down the gunship with some strange particle cannon, probably looted from a lab. The last two soldiers charged him from behind, firing as the ran. The scientist turned and shot one with the particle cannon, turning him to a steam cloud. The second marine got close and kicked the cannon out of his hands and tried to bring his pistol up and he struggled to un-holster it, which stopped when a crow bar broke his wrists then crushed his windpipe. As he lay dying, watching orange and red boots receding he heard a last transmission, "Watch out for the Freeman guy, been wiping out every ambush for the last twelve hours, if you see him he is considered extremely dangerous"

Reply to [WP] The research facility has been overrun. A lone scientists barricaded in his office readies a pistol to take as many of them with him as he can, but is shocked to see he is a naturally extremely skilled shooter. He begins singlehandedly reclaiming the entire complex where the guards failed. by Epictauk
