Ulric looked up when he heard the speech over the intercom and the shots being fired. 'How is he always right,' was he could think as a round hit him in the shoulder and the auto-injector activated leaving him to collapse to the ground dead to the world. At the same time the chip in his head activated its distress signal.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, outside the hall a few hundred unmarked mercenaries began flooding the surrounding streets as Captain Coulson talked with Dr. Krieger about what they face. Coulson walked toward a makeshift command center turning on his comm as demo guys prepped the door, "So doc you sure these things will work I mean the last toy you gave us killed 2 squads and almost killed me," "<span style="font-style: italic">Of course it will work the failure with my last experiment was entirely user error,</span>" "user error my ass." As they talked an explosion could be heard down the street at the hall entrance as the unit breached and entered combat. "God damnit, I told them to wait," as he spoke he grabbed his gun and Dr. Krieger's new toy to get in position behind cover as the bots began to open fire on the few soldiers in open view of the door. the doorway and surrounding area was littered with dead bodies as the bots began to make short work of the mercenaries in the area. "Damn, fine Krieger you win I will use it," Coulson turned off turned to the soldiers near him before yelling, "SKITTERS OUT." A few sergeants echoed his command as the soldiers grabbed what looked like metal spiders from the grenade belt pressing a button on there backs before tossing them at the bots. One private held the spider to long and it attacked instantly killing him before joining the others well Krieger was heard over the radio, "<span style="font-style: italic">User error.</span>" The bots immediately began to fire upon and blow up the mass of Skitters, however the ones that were destroyed began to reform into smaller versions of their former selves as they charged toward the bots. as the bots finally began to destroy a few of the smaller Skitters the mass began to reach and climb up the bots ripping at what ever they could eating the metal to make more. As the bots collapsed under the bots Coulson began to speak into his comm "Ok turn them off before we loose anyone else to your freaking replicators," "<span style="font-style: italic">But... But... Fine,</span>" with those words the spider like creatures fell to the ground inactive as a few medics entered the building to retrieve the body of Ulric.<br/><br/>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Alpha's limo pulled in behind the abandoned factory before he stepped out and headed toward the office near the meeting room to prepare before hand. As he walked a man in a suit fell into step with him handing him a newspaper and letter, "Your paper and a letter for you sir. I would also like to report that operation Trojan went as expected and the subject was quickly retrieved with heavy mercenary casualties." Alpha grabbed the paper with the headline 'Lukov Industries launches TV satellites for move into entertainment industry' and the letter before he spoke, "Better than expected your dismissed." As the man left Alpha sat in the office opening his letter.
