"Reports are coming in all over the place that UNATCO has responded more rapidly than anticipated and are already at Battery Park. It won't be long before they connect the shipment to the airfield. I need you to work faster." Decker whispered

"We are not "mechs", my men are tired, if you had seen the street fighting around Brooklyn you would understand." Young replied.

"Well I am getting mixed messages from the NSF around New York, some are talking crazy, about some guy taking out everyone, sounds like UNATCO are back to using their "mechs". I just need things ready for when Lebedev returns he is bringing a guest, a new colonel or something." Decker said.

"I'll try." Young promised.

The earpiece in Decker's ear crackled. "Lebedev's on his way. Over."

Decker finished up at the dock and awaited Lebedev's helicopter at the helipad. All the commanding officers from all the sections were there to greet their leader as the helicopter touched the ground. Lebedev disembarked, follow by a six-foot man, dressed in a long dark trench coat, he never spoke as he left the helicopter, he just walked swiftly aside Lebedev. The officers followed Lebedev, Decker followed too, curiously looking and this new person. He had never seen this man before and Decker knew nearly all the commanders of the NSF. The man had black-slicked back hair and a thick goatee beard. But something was not right with him, he eyes were a piercing blue, almost like small light bulbs. Underneath his tanned skin were what looked like small wire connection, silver lines collected around by his temples and the sides of his neck, his movements were swift and athletic with great power, and wore what looked like a UNATCO Special Operations attire. Whilst Decker had worked for Majestic Twelve, during the development of the mechanical augmentations, rumours were that tests were being carried out on a new experimental body augmentation, "nano-augmentations". The usage of "nanites" small robotics that enhanced the body, they were about a billionth of a metre long. Could Decker be witnessing the first "nano-augmented" soldier, if so what was he doing here?

Decker heard the man speak; he had some concern in his voice as if he was worrying about something or someone. Lebedev asked him a question and the man seemed to disconnect and paused as if questioning himself or confirming something, then his answer was complex and logical as if a computer had answered for him. This man was a guest of Lebedev's but no one knew who he was.

"Sir, the motion sensors have picked up movement in the lower sewage system. The IFF system on the surveillance cameras has managed to track down the intruder. Please sir, come and view this for yourself." Decker followed the NSF security officer into the small security hub. The wall monitors were split into multiple screens overlapping each other. On one was an image of a man dressed in a long dark blue trench coat, thick plated body armour, and what looked like a special operations UNATCO uniform on underneath the armour like Lebedev's guest. The man was armed with a compact assault rifle and had a sniper rifle strapped over his shoulder, with a small bag tied to the butt of the rifle. The man moved swiftly in and out of the darkness, rifle held in the same fixed position at his waist. Decker stared intensely at the image, puzzled, UNATCO have never sent in a solo agent and if they did, they would usually the monstrous mechanically augmented agents. And this man was not mechanically augmented.

"He has killed many of our brothers, and reports came in from Liberty Island that UNATCO have a new experimental agent. I thought you should see it first sir, Lord knows what UNATCO have enhanced him with or what they'll will send next." The security officer looked up at Decker from the swivel chair.

"Base, we have an intruder. Send a squadron of men down to the sewers, treat the hostile with extreme caution we may have a "Mech" on our hands. Over." Decker spoke into the small hidden microphone on his jacket collar. There was a static charge in his earpiece and a reply to his message.
