>>5959973If I had to guess, they want the research and they need us to scour it of everything alive before they....."tie up" those loose ends and swipe everything not nailed down so they can fuck off, fail to learn their lesson and set up another facility to keep at it for whatever aim the facility had in the first place (though I doubt Elbrus' work was part of it) with nobody any the wiser. Involving the regular army would come with a lot more scrutiny than using disposable mercenaries, and better to let them suffer the high casualty rates than whatever wetwork black ops teams they have.
Though speaking of reinforcements, I know we're all attached to our team members but the possibility remains very real of losing them every time we enter this place. If that happens, I hope we'll be able to recruit replacements for the roster.
