Exceeding Human Limits

In the Perspective of Mr. Porter.

It's been three days since the reformation of the SS.Hunters. And they seemed to be curious about my shoulder and why it's glowing. Then one of the maids asked. "If I may ask, what's that thing on your shoulder, Sir?" I replied and luckily Miss Hailey visited the bunker she can explain this contraption better than me. "Miss Hailey knows more about this than me." Miss Hailey did explain the glowing thing that is called APEX. "Well, I'm so glad that someone finally asked about that. As you could see Mr. Porter is currently one of the first successful patients to receive the APEX also known as Britain's secret weapon. Now if I may ask do anyone of you know Project Arbiter?" The maid who asked the question. "I've heard that Project was scrapped and abandoned," Hailey replied. "Well, to tell you that Mr. Porter will be one of the first soldiers to be under the revised Project Revival of Arbiter of which it's a project for Neo-soldiers to exceed instincts and not only focus on one trait, unlike the previous Project Arbiter. This will also be our first step in mastering cybernetics. Now if they finish producing the new set of APEX I may give some of you to enhance your firepower and endurance since you guys are only a small group of extremely capable specialists so with a bit of technology might even help you in the long run. The APEX System is a passive-active powered system that can power itself from the pulses in your nervous system or the kinetic energy from your movement it monitors every part of your body if its damage..." As Miss Hailey explains to everyone what's the purpose and the effects of having an APEX system inside them. Alex my AI assistant talked to me about something... "It appears that my thermal scanners are picking up 14 people outside the facility area," I replied. "Status on them... Are they armed?" Alex replied. "Armed with assault-rifles Sir. Mostly are armored and two of them are snipers that are currently pointing at the exit door where Miss Hailey would come out Sir. Calculating the distance from the door to their position... Sir, it appears they're waiting on nearby forestry near the facility. South-west, all have gas-masks, and there spread side-to-side by three meters away from each other as if waiting for us to come out to massacre us." I replied. "Thanks keep me updated on that." I cut Miss Hailey's explanation for the time. "Miss Hailey stay here..." Of course, Miss Hailey is confused while I grab my MSG90 Sniper and headed to the second floor above the surface wearing my helmet since the air outside is still dangerous to breathe in. I position myself with the help of Alex guiding me to a perfect spot. As I position myself Alex said to me something before I begin my shots. "Sir, I have another report I detected thermal scanners on their part on their scopes. Do I activate cold-blooded mode?" I replied. "Sure thing, I'll make sure they won't use that before I'll be detected." I plant myself through a broken window, as I adjust my scope to its most effective position to kill 14 people in one go.

Meanwhile in Miss Hailey's Perspective.

Why did Mr. Porter leave all of the sudden carrying his rifle up on the second floor? While thinking about it I got a call from the laboratory about an alert that 14 people were spotted in the south-west area of the laboratory and is targeting this bunker on the only front door of the bunker. I was advised not to leave the bunker, while I was hearing this news the others are alerted now all of a sudden and said that they want to help the Captain. I replied. "Wait, let him do this I want you guys to see his skills first." So I gave them a brief live feed from Mr. Porter's Helmet. Ashe said. "So Mr. Porter is a Marksman huh... His enemies are around 700 meters away from him and with it, he has a disadvantage of the trees covering the enemies. What we'll he do now?" Ashe may be the second youngest here but she's also a marksman on her previous squad along with my Brother. The othersare tensed up over the situation that Mr. Porter is all alone against 14 unknown enemies.

Back at Mr. Porter.

I breathe in to stabilize my first shots... Now! *Silenced gunshot* One, as I hear the extractor releasing the first cartridge. I wait for the second shot slowly readjusting for the next shot the tension of shooting gave me chills down to my toes. The dust settled and I began the second shot... Now! *Silenced gunshot* Another one falls they're now confused about where is that coming from I used my thermal scanner again and seeing that they're now scrambling to reposition but I quickly disperse more bullets than I normally imagine. This body is not human-like anymore, I now understand what Miss Hailey is talking about I can feel all of them being afraid of getting shot at. One of them did hide behind the tree but he's not lucky I can see his grenade bandolier. So I aimed at it and boom... He's dead. I changed magazines and began to shoot once again and this time I just injured one of them for interrogation. I opened my radio to report to my squad members. "This is your squad leader, my callsign is Angel don't ask why just report in we have multiple KIA's and one injured Tango coming for interrogation. Medical assistance is advised. Angel withdrawing position returning to base."

Back in the bunker.

"He shot a grenade from 800 meters! I've never seen a shot like that, also who's gonna dispatch to get that injured enemy?" Said Ashe. I replied. "Bridget, Alice, and Princess had been already dispatched to receive the injured." Those three maids are quick to engage to capture the injured. I'm really surprised by the performance of these maids... I guess the safety of this lab is on their hands now. I'm sure surprised that the number of things I've been getting as a means of insurance... But for me to repay them is to make them live longer than they would imagine. A squad that never dies... After a few hours of congratulatory messages, I return to my lab to continue to develop the cure, and one-by-one we're still failing to stabilize the cure to prevent it from killing the test subjects... *Sighs* I just hope that this will end eventually...
