Secrets
Ch.10 The Doma
‘The rebuke’ “… and I also said no heroics!”
Summary: Chris Redfield and his team begin their operation to disable the Green Umbrella facility in Senegal. Just as Captain Mason predicted, Chris positions Piers as the team’s marksman. And just as Colonel Pritchard planned, his trap is sprung. But none of them are aware of the presence of the Doma.
Sheva’s earpiece burst into life with the crackle of an open mic, followed by a laconic inquiry.
“SITREP?” It was Chris, focussed, commanding.
“Gantry level, Captain. 2 guards immobilized. No other hostiles encountered yet.”
“Copied. And the controls?”
“We’re still looking. But Captain, there’s some power down here. It just came on briefly, then went off. Carlos thinks it’s another emergency supply.”
“Same here. We’re on our way. Lightsticks Baker.”
“Baker, roger that. We’ll expect you.” The team had agreed the color-coded use of lightsticks for recognition in the dark. Baker was Orange. “Maggot! Code Baker, have you got that?”
“Si, Mistress … Ah, I see the control station. Over there, to our right, about 30 paces. Come on.”
Sheva took up guard, whilst Carlos ran his fingers over the display, muttering quietly to himself.
“Is it working?”
“Si. It’s a touch-screen system. It must be important, it seems to have a dedicated supply.”
“Can you work it?”
“Es facil. You operate the valves and pumps here, to control the flow in and out of the culture tanks. And this side screen positions the gantry.” he pointed. “Easy peasy for Carlos Oliveira!”
Sheva brought a finger up to her lips. “Shh, I hear something. Keep still!” Sheva turned, aiming her weapon in the direction of the noise.
