SPECTRUM Labs was a large complex with almost a dozen buildings of various sizes, in a good-sized valley on the south end of Empire City.  It was also guarded, not that that could stop the Spoiler from getting a good vantage point unseen.<br/><br/>Everything seemed to be going according to routine -- at least until late that afternoon, when suddenly the earth began to shake.<br/><br/>The Spoiler, of course, easily kept his feet wherever he chose to stand, but the ground was beginning to break up in many places around the complex, sending people tumbling to the ground and cracking foundations.  An armored car passing through the front gate checkpoint was tossed on its side by rock suddenly smashing through the ground.  A moment later, a nasty, prolonged<em>crunching</em>sound came from one of the buildings near the rear of the complex, and screams began to arise all over again.<br/><br/>Haphazard as it was, it didn't look much like a natural earthquake, and Empire City wasn't on a fault line in the first place.
