Climbing for My Life

Summary:

Phoenix gets sent to a research facility to investigate potential Zoraxis activity.
Spoiler alert: It does NOT go as planned.
Edit: Damn, first to make a White Knuckle post. Didn't know it was that unknown.

Chapter 1: Mission Debrief

Chapter Text

I was taking a nap in my office, and was awoken rudely by Reginald popping onto the comns. I fell backwards out of my swivel chair and slammed my head against the (thankfully carpeted) floor. I groaned and got up as he said "I apologize, Phoenix. I sure hope you didn't hit your head too hard. Because we've got another mission on our plate." There was a clunk as a reel was dropped into the slot in the door.

I perked up a little at that, it's been a while since we've had any missions. "Fire away," I grinned at the camera he could see me through as I put the reel into the projector mounted on my desk. It was labled Operation: White Knuckle.

A dark building appeared on the screen, "Several agents have been dispatched to..." (Hello, this is Support Agent Crane, I have removed the name of the building from this document because I do not wish to get in trouble with the Security department) "So far, none of them have returned. We are currently unsure if this Zor's doing, or if something else entirely." The slide switched to a building labeled Sub Structure 17, "You will be going undercover as a new recruit for the maintenance crew. All you have to do is figure out what's going on there, and get out. Simple enough."
