There is a massive crater where the field was. The snow on all sides had been pushed back by the shock wave. The hatch was undamaged but closed. The explosion also revealed a large metal building underground, the top of which was opening. A helicopter flew out and into the distance.

Martin looks at the view before him through the window, taking it all in. "Shit, we need to get in there and go after that man", Martin says. "We could possibly climb down that hole that was blown out from the explosion, can I get that map of the installation off one of you guys? I lost my map along with the rest of my equipment when I was taken."

Naru takes a long thick rope from her bag, ties it securely to the banisters of the stairs, leading to the window. She looks out to see if there are any enemies outside.

If there were hidden enemies, they aren't there anymore. The explosion would have killed them.

Naru throws the end of the rope out the window and begins to climb down towards the crater. Before she goes she says to the others "wait until I'm all the way down before you start climbing. This is good quality rope, but I don't really want anyone falling down this far."

Martin takes the map off Emilia and inspects it, mainly the parts where the gun man climbed down the hatch and where the hole is that the chopper had flown out and what the map says about those locations, what is around there, what is the purpose/function of that part of the installation and any other useful info that he may find from the map...

There is nothing about them listed on the map. The last room before them is the observation room Martin is currently in.

"Fuck, this map isn't complete, it says nothing about that part of the installation, obviously the Koreans wanted to keep it a secret", Martin says as he climbs down the rope after Naru, seeing that she has arrived at the bottom...

The team, one by one, descends the rope until everyone is at the bottom.

Emilia walks over to the hatch to try and open it.

The hatch is unlocked, but it can't open fully. It looks like the changing ice around the facility has jammed it.

Martin moves towards the hole that the chopper had flown out of and inspects it to see what is down there, how deep it is and if there is any safe way to climb down there...

The edge of the hole isn't that far away from the window, and there is a rather steep slide to get to the base.

Emilia takes out her knife and tries to dig away at some of the ice around the hatch.

It comes away easily after the shock of the explosion. Soon the hatch is uncovered a few feet of each side. It looks like a chute that leads down.

Martin decides to follow the crazed gunman and slides down the chute, telling the others to follow...

Naru follows.

The slide downwards is quick, and soon they find themselves flying out of the other end and crashing into a table with beakers and test tubes stacked. They fall everywhere and shatter around the team.. The room is fairly small, and the table seems to be the only thing of interest. There is a door that leads in the same direction as the underground base.

With his M5 ready in his hand, Martin approaches the door and opens it just enough for him to be able to see through...

The door is suddenly kicked in from the other side, throwing Martin backwards and into Naru.
The gunman stands there, no longer a picture of contentedness, his eyes emanating a shadow of the demonic red light Martin saw earlier.
"I told you it would be unwise to follow me! Why do you persist?" He shouts, the words having some unseen power behind them, each one is like a physical shove.

Martin quickly gets up, holding his M5, aiming at the gunman's face, "We're mercenaries, we came here to do a mission and we need to finish it. We just need to find out who took over this installation from the North Koreans and take back control of the base. Our fight isn't with you, it doesn't have to end this way if you cooperate with us. We know that your not the one in charge here, you're following the orders of your superior, the cloaked man aren't you. I'm sure we can cut a deal if money is what you're looking for"

"No, he isn't interested in that. Put your gun down Martin"

The gunman moves quickly, as fast as lightning, snatching Martins gun off him and tossing it aside. With one hand and superhuman strength, he picks up Martin by the front of his shirt and throws him at the opposite wall. He glares at Emilia and walks back through the door.

"Hey! Wait!"

"Fuck", Martin says as he gets up and picks up the M5, he then proceeds to follow the gunman into the next room...
