Nikolai didn't meddle too far into the 141's missions and information. Not heavily, anyway. When he heard about the newest operation the four were going on, Nikolai couldn't resist asking to be a part of it.

Konni had been trapping and experimenting on hybrids for years, information that had only been uncovered recently. Captain Price and his boys had found a few of the labs and intended on raiding it to free the hybrids.

None of them were ready for what they saw. Nearly every hybrid had been killed either during an experiment, or in haste to keep the military from finding out the extent. Nikolai and Soap had branched off to the North-West side of the building, and so far, they had no luck in saving any of the hybrids.

"That's haunting..." Soap stared upwards. Nikolai sighed, "Don't think about it. The more you think, the closer you are to making yourself throw up."

The pair continued further, following the quiet halls as they went. Whitewashed walls were nearly blinding Nikolai now, especially with the god-awful bright lights hanging from the ceiling. The monotony was broken only by the loudest noise Nikolai or Soap had ever heard as they passed a room. Soap dropped to one knee, a click sounding as he took the safety off his gun, "Hostile hybrid. Caged."

The broken door revealed a cage at the back of the room, a hybrid pacing the bars. Nikolai nodded and used the tips of his fingers to nudge the barrel of the gun down, "Fear aggression. We need to move carefully."

Nikolai had worked with hybrids plenty of times, he loved how loyal they could be and how genuine. They weren't exactly a species that hid their feelings. Hybrids deserved better than they got, and the pacing soul in front of them was only solidifying the thought that humans were terrible and needed reformed.
