A mission, an intelligence mission that had gotten Kate Laswell involved with the brief, while the others were at the safe house, she went and excused herself to explore. The mission brief explained: Investigate an unexplained activity within the forests around a mountain: The Carpathians, though, had plenty living there; a few locations were left inaccessible from their location, protection, and wildlife. None of the members of 141 were aware of this "Enhanced physiology" they were told about is far older than they. The brief mainly explained how this thing they had to research or find out about had undergone mutagenic effects, but a better accuracy was that this unknown was born that way completely healthy.

While going through the dense forest with a thermal signature tracker, Laswell picks something up and heads that way. Eventually coming through to a clearing where the backdrop sound of the waterfall came from, nearby, it was a figure—part human, part horse. By instinct, she was gonna grab her radio to call her discovery in to the others, but something made her freeze. The size of this being.. A centaur, something long believed to be some ancient myth.

Things long reawakened that had been buried beneath these mountains of solitude centuries back, rising of ancient mythic beings that were once sealed away as humanity forgot their existence. An organization that used the disguise of research when, in truth, it was dabbling in mythical genetics.

Laswell was now stuck in a position of reporting this discovery to Price or protecting this living creature from becoming a corpse to be studied by an organization that sent 141 here.
