Roshenberg... if you mentioned the name to anyone in Red Tide you would get curious glances. If you mentioned it to the leadership, however, they would not only give you a alarming glance... they would execute you on the spot. In what the majority of Intellegince Agencies coined 'The Black Hole of the Intellegince Universe', Red Tide was a notoriously hard place to commit espionage in. The lower classes of the military and NKVD were perfectly loyal to their leader(singular). The middle and upper classes of the aforementioned organisations were perfectly afraid of their leader(again, singular).
That was why there had only been one coup in all of Red Tides history.
But anyways, Roshenberg was so secret that its existence wasnt even known outside the scientists and technicians who worked and lived there, the soldiers who gaurded it, and the very tip-top leadership of the nation. Originally, and still officially, called 'Fort Scaf', it was a left over from the days that the Russian Empire ruled the lands now known as Red Tide. It was the primary military base for the Russian Empire. When the Soviet Union took over, the place was converted into a full scale military base, including runways, submarine pens, helipads, tank depots, and-by the mid 60's-silo's for ballistic missiles as well as a space rocket launch facility.
Officially the island base, located just off the coast of Red Tide, had been abandoned since the fall of the Soviet Union. In reality, the base had been converted into a research facility where all sorts of weird experiments took place. One of these experiments was located on the fourth level down, it was officially called Obtsk-X, even though the scientists who had developped it nicknamed it 'Maria'. Maria was a fully sentient combat android who had the appearance of a young women.
She was currently in a bug tweaking mode when a technician assigned to her specific database decided to do something against regulations: temporarily connect the base to the internet. The base was supposed to be completely sealed from the outside world... that included access to the internet. But the technician figured, 'what the hell, nobody will notice.'
He was wrong... dearly wrong.
