"This was our very First Mission and it was a tough one... It is true: perhaps we did not get much injured, but we lost more than blood, in Syliconville... It was hard in the beginning: I did not even know the others and we were thorn from our everyday life with violence and pain; nonetheless, we had to face our diversity, our inhumanity.... and the one of those Tyron bastards as well... We had to learn a hard lesson, and Syliconville was probably the only place where we could have met our human death and embraced our Zooanthropic rebirth... In the end, we severed many bridges to our old lives, but I can only guess that this made us gain more than anyone could ever learn in a whole lifetime..." |

Part 1: Chase Across Los Angeles |
![]() |
After Maddalena located 6 new Zooanthropes in Los Angeles, she made her move in order to ensure their safety. This was enacted in the form of a tight surveillance over the 6 subjects; it was strongly suspected that Tyron itself was on their tracks too, so the team decided not to contact them directly in order to avoid immediate identification (and subsequent termination) at the hands of Tyron Corp. The Corporation decided to make its move to verify the rumors about a conspicuous number of young Zooanthropes in Los Angeles when the suspected were together at the birthday party of one of them (Fey Lee Chang) held at Number One Disco Pub. Tyron infiltrated their men in the party and had their weapons prepared days in advance hiding them in the pub toilets. The Enemy team executed their action swiftly and mercilessly, shooting randomly in the crowd in the hope of injuring anyone of the subjects or, better still, to induce the change directly. Just a second before of their operation, Maddalena took contact with the Subjects by Cellular SMS informing them of the impending inferno. While inside the carnage was going on, outside the Tyron men, disguised as firefighters, policeman and paramedics, were already ready to collect the injured to verify any possible sign of regeneration shown by anyone leaving the hall. While the subject escaped preliminary investigation, they held on the place too long and they were caught in the middle of the fire fight that erupted between Tyron men and the real police that got there after the delay that Tyron set up for it. They were nonetheless tricked by yet another infiltrate of Tyron who induced them in a false sense of security pretending of being one of the "Real Policemen". Thanks to Maddalenas help, the subjects were able to unmask the traitor and escape once more, but, by then, Tyron soldiers in full combat gear were on their tail. The chase moved underground where the subjects hoped to find some way out, but Tyron was nonetheless prepared and caught them in a trap. Tyron entrapped them in an unmanned train directed out of town and when it was in the open air, they attached it to one of their standard Specimen Containement Wagons, redirecting the train to an unknown location in the middle of Texas Desert. |

Part 2: TrainSpotting |
![]() |
While the subjects were on the train, Tyron made its move to completely restrain them by trying to access the train and physically capture them. All attempts were wasted by the subjects readiness and cleverness, but the train was bound to a secondary Tyron research facility: one that was scavenged from the remains of the huge complex that once was SyliconVille. Understanding that a direct assault could not win over the subjects wits, Tyron decided to let them starve inside in order to weaken them and to make its final move once the train stopped in SyliconVille, where they were stronger. So, when the train reached the inner city, Tyron arranged a welcome Committee to force its targets out of the train and in their hands: unluckily for them, Colt Logan (who was charged with the safeguard of the subjects life) was well hidden near the spot ready to snipe eventual captors. Whit a precise shot he downed the helicopter pilot who crushed on the train and wrecked its course. The uncontrolled train crashed directly in the SyliconVille Prison, allowing the subjects to escape nearly unharmed. |

Part 3: Meeting the Horror |
![]() |
While Tyron lost a conspicuous number of men due to Colt surprise, it was nonetheless willing to capture the six Zooanthropic specimens that were loose on their territory. To accomplish this, Tyron trusted one of its newfound experiments such as the retrieval model T-7, which Tyron promptly dispatched to reach the subjects position. Meanwhile, its objectives where trying to figure out where they had stumbled and to find a way out; while moving inside the police district, they had the first contact with the mutants that survived the onslaught that obliterated SyliconVille in the preceding Scarlet Cobras mission. While they had little trouble in dealing with these lost specimens, they were also tracked down by some of Tyron soldiers and engaged repeatedly in fire fights, the meeting of the mutated fauna also introduced them to the horrors Tyron was preparing for them. The subjects confronted the T-7 Model in the police district yard and had a hard time defeating it, but they were successful, however, to reach a safe point they had to bypass an old Tyron development lab and Colt helped them direct toward the place (the help was in the form of SMS advice and the First Aid Spray cans that he left for them to find). In order to follow Colts directions the subjects moved underground to the parking lot of the police district where they were confronted by a major spider mutation which threatened their life; it was at this point that the seventh subject joined the others: it was Jin Kurokawa. While they soon joined forces against the giant spider, trust was soon over between them, probably, this was caused by the stress and pressure the subjects had endured. Nonetheless, they altogether moved to their next Waypoint to reach the city sewers, but just on the spot, they were again confronted by the T-7 models combat mutation. Dispatched this problem too, the subjects moved through the sewers network until they reached an underground work site where they found evidence of some foul intervention (Corpse-like human mutation and mutated fauna). They navigated the tunnels (not without many clashes against the mutated lifeforms) up to the borders of Tyron new Carnation field where it was still operative a major Insectoid Artificially created Zooanthrope which they miraculously avoided. At this point they reached a dead end in front of suspicious-looking wall: Colt inputted them the pass code so they could enter Tyron wrecked facility. |

Part 4: Inside Tyron Den |
![]() |
Once inside the subjects encountered the firsts evidence of some major masterminding behind the mutations in SyliconVille, in turn, Tyron felt that the subjects penetration inside their base was going too far and deployed a large number of troops (both human and mutated) to stop the invaders. At this point, clashes against the Tyron hirelings were really lethal and the subjects had to slow down their march and take serious precautions to save their life. It was nearly at this point that they found inside a cryogenic tube a live specimen: it was a human specimen, further investigation proved that it was one that had an unsuccessful result and was still in development stadium, who still had her humanity intact: it was the former Evelyn Sommers. The subjects decided (not without doubts) to rescue her and to try to take her back (in spite of her evident skin pigmentation that turned blue after the mutation process) to civilized lands. However, Tyron scientists inserted a gene modification in Sommerss DNA sequence that made her metabolize only human blood (in order to increase her motivation) and, obiouvsly, once removed from the nutrient fluid bath, she began to starve. This was the beginning of a tragedy. Although the subjects were all strong and capable soldiers, they were not prepared to face such a situation and their efforts were doomed to fail; none of their attempts managed to stop the pain that wrecked Evelyns body and in minutes, Evelyn Sommers died of heart attack due to the intense stimuli that her mutated hormone cycle was dictating. This shocked the subjects deeply, Jin Kurokawa above all, and gave them the rage necessary to confront face to face what Tyron was preparing for the whole world: total domination and abominating despise for human life. Moving rapidly toward the heart of Tyron complex, the subjects obliterated the corporate defenses, with a strength still unpredicted to Tyron intelligence, until they reached the core of Tyron defenses, waiting for them a squad of mutated combat specimens. It was at this time that for many of them, Rage prevailed and the First Change came upon them. |

Part 5: Facing One's Nature |
![]() |
Once the subjects removed even the final defense line, they could access the communication system of the complex where they were contacted by Colt himself. Colt informed them of their present position and of their true nature and communicated that there was a paramilitary organization that was willing to fight against what they had seen and experienced that far. The rest of the information, if they wanted to hear it, would have been given in a direct link with the chief of the organization himself. The subjects moved toward an underground structure (which was the HQ that Tyron provided for Shugerg in SyliconVille and that was already used by the other New Scarlet Cobras members as armory during the SyliconVille Accident) where they were contacted by Alain Gado. Here they were faced by a deciding question: would they have joined the crusade of the Scarlet Cobras, or would they have tried to go back to their normal life anyway? Although some of them were deeply infervorated with the thought of making Tyron pay for their crimes, paranoia and mistrust were rampaging in others and they joined with no real trust at all (and some of them, effectively left the team, alas ) |

Part 6: Payback |
![]() |
Armed with Scarlet Cobras Weapons and strong of the Zooanthropic Blood, the young members were asked to terminate forever the horror of SyliconVille. They simply had to breach in the security and communication facility and sabotage their telematic security network in order to let Maddalena control their systems and set the place for self-destruction. The team entered in action and clashed with the amassed forces of Tyron in front of their control room, but the strength of seven Zooanthropes, although young, was much more than they could face, so, the team first assault operation was crowned with success and the network was bypassed in the hands of Maddalena, that operated to make the place blow-up when the team would have been escaped. Rolling outside the exploding SyliconVille, the team directed with a van provided by Scarlet Cobras toward their next secure point for communication to await their next contact in order to meet face to face these mysterious Legionnaires |
