S.M.A.R.T. SUIT
Agent 409 plunged towards the ground at high speed. The thirty thousand foot free fall was nothing new to the experienced agent as she checked her altimeter. HALO jumps where standard method of entry for these kinds of missions. The cold and thin air was of little notice due to the new SMART suits agents were now being equipped with.
These fantastic new suits had been designed by DARPA with fiber optic infused rubber, allowing for full monitoring of the wearer's vitals as well as supplying the wearer with sensory feedback making them more aware of their surroundings. The suits were skin tight and covered the wearer's body from head to toe, making it aerodynamic. The built in gloves and socks allowed for full coverage and data collection. The hood was an open face kind that divers wore allowing for the equipping of various gas masks and helmets.
Despite its seemingly thin construction, the suits offered maximum protection and even functioned as light body armor. They also kept out the elements so that when agents in engaged in extreme activities like free falling from an airplane. The isolation keeps out the cold and protects the body from frostbite and wind chill.
Agent 409 wiped condensation off the goggles of her mask. This high up she had needed an air containment module in order to breathe on the way down. A hose connected the digital mask to the containment module. Inside the goggles displayed Agent 409's data, including airspeed, core and external temperatures, time clock, distance to her objective, altitude, and her remaining air. An alarm began to beep alerting her to open her parachute.
409, waited for a three count before pulling her shoot to make sure she was under the radar. While the suit was supposed to shield her from radar detection she did not want to chance it picking up anything. Agents 409s dark stealth chute and black suit helped her to blend in perfectly with the night sky. Easily she gliding over the fence to the enemy compound. Cutting the cords attaching her chute she gracefully dropped to the ground.
The rubber suit made a slight squeaking sound as she crouched. The only downside Agent 409 found with the new suits is that the rubber creaked and squeaked. They also tended to ride up in the crotch area. She sighed and picked the rubber out of her camel toe. It was distracting every time the suit rubbed against her groin.
409 removed her mask and parachute pack. She strapped her tactical harness on over her suit and checked her weapons. Her USP .45 was equipped with a suppressor and LAM. She flicked the light and laser on and off to test them. They seemed to be working. Her tactical combat knife she tucked into her boot. Finally, she ran a quick diagnostic on her wrist computer hooked into her SMART suit.
Ok, she thought to herself, time to get the mission started. Agent 409's mission was to infiltrate the enemy compound, locate the central server and recover the stolen data. The destroy the servers and exfiltrate the area and use the Fulton device to get picked up. A simple operation that was clearly below Agent 409's skills. She had done tons of missions like this before and the intel stated that the building was fully automated with no personnel on site. Whoever had stolen the data was using this facility as a drop site to store the data.
She sprinted across the lawn sticking to the shadows and dodging behind cover when necessary. There did not appear to be any security measures. No cameras, motion sensors, or automated guns. 409 felt ill at ease, the building should have had something. Even if it was just an automated facility, it should have had some security measures.
Approaching the building was easy, too easy, putting her on edge. She peeked around the corner peering into the lobby of the building. Nothing. It was well lit and there was a desk but no one around.
As she approached the front door a sensor beeped and it slid open. This was the only entrance to the building forcing 409 to chance it. She dashed through the door and across the room, jumping over the desk before sliding under it and scanning the room.
Still nothing, this was still weird. The agent checked her wrist computer to check the building blueprints. It looked like it was a pretty straight shot to the elevator then down six floors to the server room, no problem.
As she moved along the hall she encountered her first threats. Small room-like cleaning robots appeared and fired their stun darts at the agent. They had no effect on the SMART suit. Agent 409 easily picked them each off with her gun before making it to the elevator. She pressed the button to summon the elevator but nothing happened. Apparently, the building had gone into shutting down mode when the robots went offline.
Now things are starting to pick up, she thought, at least the building has some sort of security system, this wouldn't have been fun without any kind of challenge. 409 managed to pry open the elevator doors and look down the shaft. The car must have been somewhere on the lower floors. Even with the shaft emergency lights, she couldn't see it below her. She hooked a repelling clamp to the main lift cable and tested to make sure it was secure before attaching her rope. Carefully she eased her weight onto the line. The rope and harness took her weight easily, suspending her above the drop.
Slowly the agent lowered herself down the shaft checking off floor numbers as she descended. When she reached the sixth she tied herself off and proceeded to work the doors open. Her efforts were greeted by several more little robots firing darts at her. 409 took cover in elevator shaft before returning fire. When the coast was clear, she loaded a fresh clip into her USP and climbed out.
The floor was a simple long hallway ending at a heavy metal door. There were no traps or alarms but the door was locked and hermetically sealed. The only way through was to open it with the access password. 409 used her wrist computer to easily hack the door code. Her sense of unease returned, as she thought that this was going to smoothly. Something always goes wrong on a mission and so far everything was going her way.
Once in the server room, the agent began to rethink that as she looked at the huge racks of computer equipment. It would take hours to search through them just to find the right server hosting the data. She walked up and down the rows until she managed to find the central interface terminal. From there she could easily find the data and retrieve it.
Agent 409 entered in the search parameters of the missing data and the terminal gave her an error message. She tried again, only to receive another error. She changed the parameters and tried again. Once again she only got and error message. Each time she changed the parameters and search again she only received and error message. Suddenly the computer locked up with the error message.
"Well, well, Agent 409, did you find what you were looking for?" A female voice boomed over the speaker system. Agent 409 spun around and aimed her gun in the direction the voice came from.
