Somewhere in El Yunque Rain Forest, Province of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of Pheanix
A gentle breeze passes through the guard house, relieving the two MP´s for a moment as the intense humidity of the tropics gave way to high temperatures. It was one of the many guardhouses that dotted the long fence that ran along the outskirts of the compound, although it was hard to spot as lush vegetation and giant trees cover the ground everywhere in and outside the place. There was only one clearing in the midst of this tropical forest, a small dirt runway surrounded by a few barracks and a two gun ranges, all for training the Jungle Brigade of the Pheanixian Army, at least that was its purpose officially.
Unofficially and in complete secret to everyone, both inside and outside the Commonwealth, and even to most of the Ministry of Defense and Parliament, the Commonwealth Armed Forces have long had a base below the Jungle Tactics Training Facility. A large cavernous spring was found a decade or so ago, and the military not surprisingly found a way to utilize that kind of space, specially liking the part about no one being able to see what happens in there. It wasn’t long before any record of the caverns beneath the Jungle Range disappeared completely from the Commonwealth Archives and Databases; the veil of secrecy had begun.
Now a complete state-of-art facility could be found beneath the training range, although how to get down there was almost impossible to do as no one knows there are caverns down there not to mention a whole base. The whole place was dedicated to research and development of new ways to maintain the pheanixian forces up-to-date technology wise. The base included a brigade of Praetorians ((like the old Imperial guard of the Romans)), an elite infantry brigade with the sole purpose of defending the Commonwealths most important assets, in and out of its territories. They were trained to fight almost from birth, filling them with propaganda to make sure that their only purpose in live was to defend the Commonwealth and nothing more.
Right now almost all the bases resources were tied up into researching and developing the last frontier, yet to be exploited or utilize effectively by the military: space. For a couple of years now the Head Scientist of the facility, Dr. Jent and his team of scientists have been researching ways that the military could exploit space for the benefit of the Commonwealth, and more importantly to make his name known all around the scientific community. It was a rather ambitious project, but they had the brightest minds of the commonwealth working on it and as such they hope to start seeing some progress soon.
OCC: by the way this is a secret operation, you can tag and bump and the such, but you cant post as you don’t know this is happening. Thanks for your cooperation.
