It’s two days since the Archaeans made their presence felt in New York City, covering its familiar lines in a tar-like Sprawl and ripping humans up on sight. This being a Rainbow Six game, an elite REACT task force formed and sprang immediately into action, preparing its highly trained operatives for what they could expect in a ‘hot zone’ using bleeding-edge VR simulations that look and feel very much like a tutorial level in a video game. We might not understand these alien jerks yet, a team of serious people in a room full of screens agreed, but we’re not going down without a fight.
That was two days ago. 48 hours since Doc made his first steps into a hot zone and more or less immediately died of aliens, considered MIA. About 47.5 hours since Lion went in to retrieve him and also went MIA. And a day and a half since three other operators succumbed to the same fate. XP gained: 0. Progress made: nil.
