Some notes before starting-This takes place in present day, after Raccoon City, so expect more modern day stuff. The main character is my dude from the Mansion RP with some changes. Wont be done in chapters either, will be done in 'Attacks'. Every new chapter will be a new 'Attack'. Advice and opinions welcome. Enjoy!
The airplane rocketed through the sky at the spped of sound.
Despite the fact that it was a large plane, it didn't show up on any radar screens. And even though it was breaking the sound barrier, it didn't create any sonic boms-a recent development in wave-negativing sensors took care of that.
With its angry-browed cockpit windows, its black radar-absorbent paint and its unique flying-wing design, the B-2 Stealth Bomber didn't normally fly missions like this.
It was designed to carry 40,000 pounds of ordinance, from laser-guided bombs to air-launched thermonuclear cruise missles.
Today, however, it carried no bombs.
Today its bomb bay had ben modified to convey a light but unusual payload: one fast-attack vehicle and eight US Army Delta Force members.
Captain Chase Riley sttod in the cockpit, the gray Siberian sky reflected in the silver lenses of hs wraparound anti-flash glasses. The glasses concealed a pair os vertical scars that cut down across Riley's eyes, wounds from a previous mission and the source of his operational nickname: Scarecrow.
At five-feet-nine inches tall, Riley was lean and muscular. Under his white-gray Kevlar helmet, he had spiky black hair and a creased handsome face. He was known for his sharp mind, his cool head under pressure, and the high regard in which he was held by lower-ranking Delta members-he was a leader who looked out for his men.
The B-2 zoomed through the sky, heading for a distant corner of northern Russia, to an abandoned Soviet installation on the barren coast of Siberia.
Its official Soviet name had been "Krask-6: Penal and Maintenance Installation," the outmost of eight compounds surrounding the Arctic town of Krask. In imaginative Soviet tradition, the compounds had been named Krask-1, Krask-2, Krask-3 and so on.
Until four days ago, Krask-6 had been known simply as a long-forgotten ex-Soviet outstation-a half-gulag, half-maintenance facility at which political prisoners had been forced to work. There were hundreds of such facilities dotted around the former Soviet Union-giant, ugly, oil-stained monoliths which before 1991 had formed the industrial heart of the USSR, but which now lay dormant, left to rot in the snow, the ghost towns of the Cold War.
But two days ago, on October 24, all that had changed.
Because one that day, a team of thirty well-armed and well-trained Islamic Chechen terrorists had taken over Krask-6 and announced to the Rusian government that they intended to fire four SS-18 nuclear missles-missles that had simply been left in their silos at the site with the fall of the Soviets in 1991-on Moscow unless Russia withdrew its troops from Chechnya and declared the breakaway republic an independent state.
A deadline was set for 10 a.m. today, October 26.
The date had meaning. October 26 was a year to the day since a force of crack Russian troops had stormed a Moscow theater held by Chechen terrorists, ending a three-day siege, killing all the terrorists and over a hundred hostages.
That today also happened to be the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a traditional day of peace, didn't seem to bother these Islamist terrorists.
The fact that Krask-6 was something more than just a relic of the Cold War was also news to the Russian government.
After some investigation of long-sealed Soviet records, the terrorists' claims had proved to be correct. It turned out that Krask-6 was a secret that the old Communist regime had failed to inform the new government about during the transition to democracy.
It did indeed house nuclear missles-sixteen to be exact; sixteen SS-18 nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles; all contained in concealed underground silos that had been designed to evade US satellite detetion. Apparently, "clones" of Krask-6-identical missile-launch sites disguised as industrial facilities-could also be found in old Soviet client states like the Sudan, Syria, Cube and Yemen.
And so, in the new world order-post-Cold War, post-September 11-the Russians had called on the Americans to help.
As a rapid response, the American government had sent to Krask-6 a fast-and-light counter-terrorist unit from Delta Detachment-led by Captain Chase Riley.
