Beads of water dripped from the ceiling from the ceiling, the glowing eyes of the robot scanning the area.
"I would show you where they are but I don't trust you guys."

Foxy put his hand on Andr's rifle, lowering the barrel. "How about now?"

Ajax lowered his black sleek arms. "If you tell anyone, I will have no choice but to end you." His voice was strangely calm. He gestured to them to follow him. "I will let them know two worthy animals are coming down there, but you may not be greeted with the most friendliest people."

Andr cocked her eyebrow. "What about the rest of us? Are we just gonna leave them hanging?"

"Come in, come in. Have you found anything yet?" Wolford's voice softly spoke out of Nick's radio.

He reached down and pressed the button. "No not yet. I may be on to something though, so give me a hour or so."

"Contact us if you need backup."

Nick sighed. "So we got a hour to find this place."

Ajax seemed to grin behind his tight helmet. "It's only gonna take us 1 minute." He began to walk over to the room with wires. He went up to the wall, and placed his hand on it, tapping his third finger five times. He then pressed his thumb and pinkie against the wall, a red light flashing. A small beep emitted from it, the wall transforming into a stair case.

Andr lightly laughed. "That's pretty fucking cool if you ask me."

"Wait until you get inside." They followed him down the metal staircase, another room at the end.  Elevator doors were next to a terminal hanging off the wall, a blank white screen seemingly stuck. Ajax pulled out a cord from his wrist, plugging it in. The screen turned black, with the words 'Access Granted'. A clicking sound emitted from the doors, opening up. "Go in. When we get downstairs I'll explain to them."

They got in, the elevator bouncing with every step they took. "I thought you guys would've had a much better security system, instead of just a secret code and a password," Foxy said, switching his gun to safety.

A shadowy figure ran into the room, more following them. They held rifles, hoods covering their snouts. "You have the code?"

One of them handed him a USB stick. "It's going to take a moment, maybe a few minutes at most."

He plugged it into the computer. "Keep that door open!" he said. He took off his hood, revealing his tiger stripes.

Another stood in the doorway where they came in. He took his hood off, juggling a bomb. "Once we are down there, I'm going to plant this on the door. It shouldn't hurt us, and should blind the targets inside whatever we come in."

The tiger unhinged his radio, clicking the button down. "Alpha to base, we are currently cracking the code and about to get inside."

A otter leaned over a screen, showing a live feed of their perspectives. He wore a headset, a mic piece hanging over his snout. "Get in, arrest the targets, and let's get this mission done. After that, we'll send in the trucks to extract the humans." The room was covered in technology. Other mammals were typing away at computers. "Back up is arriving at the location to take the targets."

A tall black fox walked next to him, examining the video. "Get it done, no matter the costs." He wore a uniform, poking his breast pocket.

He looked towards him. "But they are innocent," he proclaimed. "The mission is to extract them for extensive research on how the body works, and send them back with no recollection of what happened, sir. That's what you said."
