Under the cover of night, Blue Poison pushed through thick leaves and plants of the island jungle. She on a remote island searching for a secret base that was supposedly gearing up for some sort of large scale attack. Blue Poison's mission was to learn what exactly this attack entailed and then report back to base so a plan to stop it can be made. Blue Poison stopped a top of a hill that had a great overview of most of the island. She scanned around the island and saw what looking like the base in the distance, seemingly built into the side of a volcano. "Hm..." She pulled out some binoculars and looked at what looked like the base. She saw an elaborately built structure sticking out of the volcano, lights surrounding the structure. She also saw guards patrolling around the area, rifles in hand. 

Blue Poison put the binoculars away and then grabbed her crossbow. She began to making her way to the base, readying a poison laced arrow on it. After about 7 minutes of pushing through more of the thick island jungle and trying to guess where she was, she eventually found what looked like a side entrance to the base. It was the same one she had scouted out earlier. There were not too many guards in the area, making getting in easy for Blue Poison. However, she was going to have to plan her way. Because there were guards patrolling around the door she needed to get into, Blue Poison was not going to be able to just waltz right in without being noticed. "Hm..." She began to analyze her situation and how she was going to go about this. There were 5 guards in total, 2 near the door, 1 on a high up ledge, and 2 more walking around in an open area. If she was quick enough, Blue Poison could take out the guards without giving anyone a chance to raise the alarm. 

Blue Poison took aim at the guard on the ledge with her crossbow. She fired the arrow and quickly began to reload, aiming at another guard and repeating the process. Her hand's agility and superior aim allowed her to take out all 5 guards without trouble. "Perfect..." Blue Poison walked up to the door while reloading her crossbow. The door was unlocked and she just slipped right on into the base. Upon entering, she would find herself in an open atrium, the dim moonlight shining down through the glass above. Blue Poison slowly wandered around, trying to figure out where she needed to go next. {A base like this is surely to have some sort of room with their plans...} She thought to herself. 

The base seemed quite, almost too quiet. Blue Poison grew suspicious but pressed on deeper into the base. The sterile hallways of the base were very quiet, her footsteps echoing through the halls with each step. It was strange that such a base would have so little guards patrolling the hallways. Blue Poison was yet to even see a guard since she entered the base. Eventually, and without trouble, Blue Poison stumbled across a peculiar set of doors.  The doors were tall, made of stone, and had an ancient yet intricate design on them. They were definitely out of place in the almost futuristic looking hallway. Curious, Blue Poison pushed the doors open and peered in to the room behind them.

It was a large room with a long table extending the length of the room. Was it some sort of dining room or conference room? Blue Poison wasn't sure but she entered the room, closing the doors behind her. Upon entering the room, Blue Poison would be hit by a wave of heat as she noticed a lava fall making up one of the walls, two tiki head statues were on either side of the lava fall. She slowly walked over to the lava fall and inspected it. Blue Poison had never seen such a thing in her life. "Interesting..." Just as she was about to divert her attention elsewhere, the lava fall began to split open. She saw some sort of secret pathway begin to reveal itself and the figure of someone walking down the pathway. Blue Poison gasped and dashed for cover behind one of the tiki head statues. 

Blue Poison watched as a woman walked out of the lava fall, looking down at some papers. The woman walked past Blue Poison without even noticing her, leaving Blue Poison alone again in the room as she walked through the doors. The lava fall was still open and Blue Poison used this opportunity to dash into the secret pathway. The lava fall began to close in on her as she walked through. "Damn!" Blue Poison dropped her crossbow accidently as she began to hurry to the other side. She made a leap into the dark room ahead just as the lava fall closed up. Another door came crashing down as she got back up onto her feet. Blue Poison was surrounded by darkness for a moment before small lights began to illuminate on some sort of catwalk.
