Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
National Guards Perimeter, Team Rainbow briefing tent.

The wind rustling through the night and slight tremor that caused by passing Vehicles can be felt. Inside the tent there was Eliza "Ash" Cohen, the Forward Operation Leader of Team Rainbow. Ash is communicating with Dr. Ellen Mackintosh, Chief of Radiation oncology at Sierra County Hospital, through laptop facecam

Ash: So Doctor Macintosh, how the progress for the cure?

Ellen Mackintosh: Well, rather than the progress how about I tell you the result

Ash: that was fast? Alright, tell me

Ellen Mackintosh: well we have good news and bad news, the good news is our prototype cure works against the virus

Ash: So what's the bad news?

Ellen Mackintosh: the bad news is the cure doesn't work with crystal mutation

Ash: Thanks, Doc.

Ash close the communication. After hearing that, Ash starting giving a look of frustration on her face, her shoulder tense and her fists are clenched before finally

Ash: (sighs) ... Dammit. (punches the table)

Mira: Woah, easy there Miss KickInTheDoor.

Ash: Elena...

Mira: Hey, we know we need to put an end to this parasite, but you have to keep calm. The cure won't be ready in the blink of an eye.

Ash: I'm calm, I just... (sighs) A whole city in New Mexico was wiped out because of this parasite.

Mira: We can't change what happened, but we can change what comes next. Remember, we're Team Rainbow. We find solutions, no matter the odds.

Ash: You're right. We need to stay focused on stopping this threat for good.

Mira: That's the spirit. So, what's our next mission?

Ash then turn on the projector and showing the image of giant black crystal cluster rising up.

Ash: we found this Crystal cluster outside of city but it still within perimeter. By analyzing the trajectory of capsule crash, this would be where it was landed. It seems some remains of Crystal shard was left there and metasizes to… this

Mira: mierda! That huge!

Ash: our mission is to investigate the crash site, there's kind of activity on that place, we also picking up unidentified signature from that place. and this time it will be a joint operation with the Officials

Mira: with US military?

Ash nodded

In a sprawling expanse of desolate terrain lies the remnants of a catastrophic event. The crash site, shrouded in mystery and steeped in danger, beckons a team of elite operators to uncover its secrets. Led by the seasoned Ash, their mission is to penetrate the enigma that surrounds the wreckage and bring forth the truth.

Equipped with an arsenal of cutting-edge weaponry and specialized gear, the team gathers on the outskirts of the site. Ash, the Leader of Operations, stands tall with her Remington R4-C rifle. A M45 MEU(SOC) holstered at her thigh. By her side, the M120 CREM (Compact Rifle Entry Munition) grenade launcher with its Breaching Round ammunition, Alongside her comrades, each skilled in their own right, they prepare to face the unknown.

Thermite, a stoic figure with a Sig-Sauer SIG556xi SWAT rifle in his hands, and M45 MEU(SOC) as his sidearm, stands alongside Ash. His Nanothermite Charge - a powerful tool that holds the potential to unravel the secrets hidden within the colossal crystalline structure - rests patiently in his pack.
