VALORANT: Stories

Recombinant 001 (Viper x Killjoy / Reyna x Sage)

Recombinant 001

After two months of gathering info and infiltration missions concerning various branches of the Kingdom, the people of VALORANT finally uncovered some sort of experimentation facility within the cliffs along the Ring of Kerry in Ireland.

Cypher, Omen and Reyna led the charge when they raided the place and it took at least three hours for them to secure the area and make sure there were no hidden surveillance, video and audio, left hidden anywhere in the vicinity.

Between the three, Cypher opted in meeting Brimstone at one of the entrances to escort him around the facility, while both Omen and Reyna made their way to one particular chamber at the very back of the abandoned research center.

When Brimstone sent them to take care of this mission, they expected to find weapons possibly capable of mass-destruction, both biological and technological. Maybe even a feasible set of servers that might contain information about the Kingdom, or clues on what the latter had in store for the future.

The halls were still clean and didn't even have a single layer of dust. They even found crates of fresh supplies of food and water in a fairly huge storage room, which confirmed that the post was actively being used until they decided to storm it.

"Whereʼs Omen and Reyna?" Brimstone asked as he walked alongside Cypher in one of the many halls in the enemy base. "Did they leave already?"

"Ah, they went further in." Cypher then gave a wave-like gesture with his hand as he said, "You see, during the foray, we happened to have stumbled on a rather interesting area in the deeper divisions of the facility."

Brimstone raised an eyebrow. "And what did you find?"

"I think it is best that you see for yourself."

A few turns here and there and a short elevator ride down to the sublevels later, they finally reached the room Cypher was referring to. There they found Omen walking and looking around, picking up forgotten papers and clipboards either on a nearby counter or somewhere on the floor.

The state of mess was relatively similar to the clutter at the upper floors. Clearly, the people that were making use of the facility had left in a hurry.

A couple of complex-looking machineries could be seen neatly placed around the room, some of them surprisingly turned on and showing what looked to be a visual analysis of two types of genetic codes woven together. Judging from the placements of the equipment and how some of the vials of strange liquid were looking freshly made, the room was clearly just used not too long ago.

Brimstone was just about to call for Omenʼs attention when...

Bang!

...a gunshot echoed through the room, prompting the three other agents to draw their own weapons.

While both Omen and Cypher drew their Ghosts, Brimstone cocked his Sheriff ready as they approached the corner where Reyna apparently disappeared off to. With all of their aim readily pointed to where the woman was last seen, Brimstone called out.

"Reyna? Do you copy?"

The tense silence was broken by the sound of a muttered cuss from the Mexican, who eventually came into view, dragging a dead scientist by the collar of his shirt. There was a clean, bleeding bullet hole visible on the very center of his forehead. She looked awfully furious when she regarded her most recent victim.

"All clear." Reyna coldly reported, tone sounding immensely vexed as she dropped the corpse on the floor with a scowl.

Cypher and Omen deposited their guns back in its rightful places, while Brimstone did the same with a sigh before saying, "You could have at least spared him for questioning."
