Chapter 14 - NIGHTMARE SYNDROME CHAPTER 2: THE SHADOW OP

Date: FEB-13, 2002/12:01 AM HAVN Facility Lift Entrance A kill squad has just stealthily taken down, all the guards of the Barrow's underground facility, this squad were securing the entrance to the prime target site below ground, as the now full force of this strike force has arrived, numbering around a couple of dozens of unknown soldiers were making final preparations. With dead guards, with still bleeding wounds around the area, as a couple of these men began to gather into the life's panel, as the commander used his radio to report to his main command, as he spoke in Korean, "사령부에보고/Salyeongbuebogo. 위반 허가 요청/Wiban heoga yocheong. (Reportingtocomand. Requesting permission to breach.)"then he received a respond through the radio, "이것은명령입니다...권한이 부여되었습니다. 임무를 시작하세요./Igeos-eun myeonglyeong-ibnida...Gwonhan-i buyeodoeeossseubnida. Immuleul sijaghaseyo.(This is command...Permission granted, begin mission.)" with that he cut off the radio, and turned to his men. Giving some hand signal, meaning they got the green light to start the breach, nodding to him, they scurry to the lift, with one of them in the panel activating the lift and they slowly started to descend onto this American shadow site that has been a target for North Korea for sometime...

Location: North Korea, Date: [REDACTED] Undisclosed Blacksite With the world in a constant state of war, and growing greater weapons of mass destruction, along with a shadow race to create the next "silver bullet" to secure a nation dominace over all others. With many countries scrambling to make this revolutionary silver bullet, North Korea, has been using their vast influence and spy network to either keep up with the surge of enemy projects, or find one that was better soothed for their country. This shadow race has been held since the first World War, and has continued on ever since.

Which results in the current secret meeting between the North Korean highest and most powerful men in the government, reviewing and discussing things uncovered by their spies. Over the years since WWI, WWII, the Cold War, and even Nam, has provided a great amount of information of a super-soldier project that the American, has been experimenting on for years, using the Cold War as the primary testing grounds for these "super-soldiers". Reports have shown of men capable of physical abilities of superhuman levels, and much more. Plus the reports also mention the corporation that more than likely responsible for all these experiments, Barrow Corp. These reports were very interesting, and what was more fascinating was that process of perfecting these superhuman experiments, have produce several concoctions, from two formulas such as "WARRIOR-N. & NECTAR" as their American agents, have reported that long believed dead, or missing government officials are still alive, and some still in their prime. Meaning that not only have the American been the most ahead in the shadow race to create the next super weapon, they have quite possibly discover, and created a possibly counteractive to death itself...a elixir of life, and youth!!!

This was a great desire not for these men, but the Eternal General Secretary, Kim Jong Il, who was amongst those in this secret meeting. All great leaders that have been interested and participated in this Shadow Race, from Kim Il-Sung, to now Kim Jong Il. This NECTAR from stolen reports, have proven to heal and regenerate the body, while the WARRIOR-N, make soldier more aggressive, and stronger in battle with the cost of extreme adrenaline levels, but with their scientists they can improve these formulas, and become immortals, and a close as War Gods in myth. And this was just the beginning on things uncovered from their western enemies.

They have quite possibly successfully created superhuman beings. In these reports it shows uncensored reports from police and government officials involving some test subjects that were loose on American soil. Killing a large number of people, with untold aggression, viciousness, and confirmed "mutations" which resulted in special abilities, from what is listed: enhanced physical abilities, pyrokenisis, energy manipulation, and more. Kim Jong Il, wanted everything that Barrow's has created and is currently researching on, and has started to form a shadow operation to spy on, uncover everything involve, and locate this testing site of Barrow.

Since that meeting the American planted North Korean spies, have doubled their efforts to do, as they'd be tasked to do from their country, hundreds of secret agents have been watching and even working for Barrow Corp. to obtain their secrets. But Barrow has been careful, their main headquarters has nothing on the secret projects, or recipes on the WARRIOR-N & NECTAR formulas. Making thing complicated for the double agents, planted in Barrow Corp. and any promotion or reassignments have been to off sites, from other countries aside from North America. This continued for some years, until a computer technician, name Min-chul Woo or as his undercover identity of Mickie Dong, has managed to gain enough recognition, and trust that he was moved up the cooperate ladder, and was in a position to learn more of Barrow than any other plant that has been placed in the Corporation.

In 2001 agent Woo, manage to achieve the needed influence and accomplishments to become the Head of Tech Management in Barrow Corp. with Clearance Level-A1, he obtained almost unlimited access to the systems of Barrow. He rival power with some other important and quite possibly another target for North Korea's benefits, Dr. Annabeth Lunara. Of course he reported this and more to his country, as he started to secretly transfer needed documents, and data involving the main project that Barrow is apart of...NEMESIS.

The next year, with the conflict rising, in the situation of Yeongpyeong growing to become Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, a confrontation at sea between North Korean and South Korean patrol boats along a disputed maritime boundary near Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea in this year. The the North Korean government sought to use the threat of growing aggressions to perform a secret operation on enemy territory. With the Supreme Commander, Kim Jong Il, gave the order to perform the raid on Barrow's blacksite, to obtain these secrets involving some weapon project called "NEMESIS" so for next couple of weeks, maximum two mouths North Korea has been preparing to finally strike at the Barrow Corp. blacksite located in Mohave Desert of all places.

With the information secured and proven, Main Command has recalled all their agents except for Agent Woo, to act as permanent plant and spy in Barrow Corp. and make sure all the traces of the strike force is secured. North Korea, has selected top 36 men in their military, to participate in the mission to raid the site known as HAVN. Given all the needed resources and false but highly secured identities to infiltrate the country.

One by one, these soldier were sent through visitation visas to North America, from various points. To avoid all suspicion or connections between them, since the year 1998 to 2001, 35 soldiers has been successfully planted themselves in the American government, and once the "Commander" Hyun-woo Dae, has landed into American soil to finally begin operations.

Date: NOV 30th 2001/9:00 PM North America; JFK International Airport, Long Islands-Queens Hyun-woo Dae, is quite fit, handsome man with black colored hair in a Crew Cut style and brown eyes. He has been finally sent to North America, through JFK-Airlands, and made his way to rendevue location set by Main Command. Hyun-woo is proud North Korean patriotic young man, since he became of age of enlistment, he has served the military with pride and devotion, Hyun-woo excelled in his training and was transfered to the Storm Corps were he was trained by the elites of the elites. Since completing the Storm Corps training, he has become a elite soldier of the rank of Captain, and he was proud of it, Hyun-woo has performed several successful missions over the years, at the age of 29 he already made a name for himself among Korean military.

Hyun-woo gained the moniker of 그림자/Geulimja meaning the Shadow, for he is the most skilled operative, never failing and eliminating any target his been assigned to eliminate. He became a boogeyman in the national governments, as only his moniker is known by the enemies of his country. So it was almost obvious that Main Command, chose him to not only participate but lead this new mission, what surprise him is the number of soldiers selected to participate in the mission with him included, thirty-six men.

But regardless he'll never question the orders from Main Command, as he made his way through the airport to the assigned driver who is one of his contact in America, he pulled out his burner cell, and sent a message that he has landed. Once the confirmation message was sent back, he discreetly broke and got rid of the phone, and Hyun-woo continued to make his way to the main exit of the airport. At said entrance a Asian man with a two-block Asian hairstyle, he was holding up a sign in English saying "Hyun-woo Welcome" along with a secret symbol at the second "O" wearing a brown open long sleeve jacket, black undershirt, jeans and black sneakers, this was driver and contact that Hyun-woo was searching for. Hyun-woo calmly walked over to man and they spoke in Korean a secret message, Hyun-woo spoke first "여기계시군요.동부날씨는어떤가요?/Yeogigyesigun-yo. Dongbunalssineuneotteongayo?(Iseeyou'rehere,how'stheweatherintheeast?)" the contact responded the code, "저도만나서반가워요.날씨는화창하고웅장합니다, 동지여./ Jeodo mannaseo bangawoyo.Nalssineunhwachanghagoungjanghabnida,dongjiyeo.(Goodtoseeyouaswell.Theweatherissunnyandgrand,mycomrade.)" these were the correct, and the contact lead Hyun-woo to the taxi car.

Once inside the cab, the contact explain the mission, he'll lead a team of thirty-five trained men that will redevue with him in his safe house, here in Queens. Once their together they'll be given more information about the target and the parameters of the mission, he'll receive financial aid for all his time during his stay in America, and equipment shall be smuggled by the operative name Byung-chul Ho, codenamed "chong-gyeog/fireshot" who has gain a occupation in a gun shop, he has acquired all the special weapons that he and the rest of the team will be using on the mission. Nodding to information that he was given, he was driven to his safe house, and given a new burner phone for the duration of the mission. Leaving the cab, he went to the suburban house, getting situated Hyun-woo waiting for his team to gather and the rest of the mission shall be discussed.

Date: DEC 7th, 2001/4:36 AM Hyun-woo Dae's Safehouse Hyun-woo, and the rest of his team have gathered, with chong-gyeog bring various guns, gear, ammunition, and other equipment for the mission, as they all the North Korean soldiers, inspected the weapons and gears that one of their teammate procured for them. Their contact came, a man name Min-chul Woo, which looks as a fine dressed, Asian glasses wearing man, with dark brown hair in a comb over hairstyle, Woo, he informed them of his position in the target's corporation, Barrow Corp. Woo told them, that Barrow Corp. has been doing research, and experiments to create super-soldiers, for war and other operations outside their nation.

Giving them confidential information on their targets, on a undisclosed location, a facility called HAVN, Barrow has been doing this research and experiments involving a "NEMESIS" Project, along with where the other targets the formulas of WARRIOR-N & NECTAR. Those formulas will be a great benefit for their country, and their higher official members of their government, even Hyun-woo was surprise of the capabilities of these formulas, and the potential of the NEMESIS for their soldiers. With those thing under the control of their country, they wouldn't just dominate the age of modern warfare, but also expand their influence and territory beyond their homeland. So it was clear the importance of acquiring these targets which includes all data involving NEMESIS, the formula recipes, all successful specimen of the project, and the Head of the Project Dr. Lunara.

As Woo kept searching for the exact location of this facility called HAVN, while they now know is somewhere in Mohave Desert. The massive overall size of the Mohave Desert making thing impossible to search blindly, they decided that they won't begin the raid until they can triangulate the location of HAVN in said desert. So for now Woo will be in constant contact with each of them, providing updates until they can find the exact location the target. With all the mission parameters explained, Hyun-woo and his team swear to accomplish the mission, Woo left follow by thirty-five members of his team.

Hyun-woo since then has assimilate to a false life in North America, and has kept his secret identity, as he gained more resources for the upcoming mission. It took the course of weeks until Woo finally triangulated the exact location of HAVN, and in February 13, 2002 the raid on Barrow's secret facility HAVN, has finally begun...
