Phil remained on the parked and shielded Bus inside the park, standing in front of the holo-table and computer board. Arms crossed over his chest, he stared at the two blips on the map as they slowly moved further into the park, into a spot where there were too many trees for a large cargo style plane to land.
"Agent Morse and Agent Simmons, I'm going to review the objective of this assignment as you continue to make your way to Entry Point." He glanced down at the dossier marked "Classified: Level 7", and then back up to the projected map.
"After the downfall of the Red Skull, HYDRA's forces were scattered, but not destroyed. A great deal of their research and weapons tech was retrieved by the SSR and other non Nazi government groups, but not all of it. Since the end of World War II, every few years bits of HYDRA things trickle into the spotlight, and it's SHIELD's job to get to them before someone else does.
Our intel has lead us to believe that Siberia, more specifically, inside this park, was a temporary haven for HYDRA soldiers and scientists, possibly up until the fall of the USSR. Funds from Red Skull were used to make underground hiding places, and even living spaces for his army. What better place to hide all of your horrible creations than underground near the very top of the world?" He moved to the holo table and pressed a few keys, a 3D map of the area forming upon it.
"Our intel has also lead us to believe that the objects housed here were biological in nature. What exactly they are isn't clear, HYDRA didn't keep a paper trail for a good reason, they didn't want to be found. But that's why I'm sending you two. Agent Morse will lead Agent Simmons to the location and scout for traps and security points, and Simmons will locate any biological weapons and contain them properly in the briefcases provided."
There was a silence, and Phil looked down at his shoes. "Be careful please, ladies."
