*In the caverns beneath the city of offtopic*
Virus sits in his throne, watching his monitors, each one hacked into the cities cameras.
“Hmm... it seems they didn’t get my message. Time to send another one”
*Moments later at a small brotherhood of steel bunker*
A large explosion shakes the earth, as the ground begins to burst. Robots quickly fly out of the newly made holes, swarming the bunker.
“SOUND THE ALARM!” A soldier shouts, but before he can do anything else a robot punches through his power armor, into his gut. Nano bots quickly spread from the wound, corrupting and infecting the soldier’s flesh. He collapses to the ground, shaking violently.
Another soldier runs for the alarm system, but before they can reach it a small creature jumps onto their back, and begins ripping through their armor. The creature appears to be a mechanically enhanced flood infester form. It quickly wraps its limbs around the soldiers flesh and burrows into their flesh, infecting them as well.
The robots and flood quickly mow through the unprepared soldiers, who are unable to fight back. Almost as quickly as it started it, the combat ends, with bodies all over the floor, each one appears to be shaking violently. After a few more moments they begin to get up. Their once human eyes now replaced with orange mechanical ones. Their flesh now metal, and their minds no more. They begin grabbing weapons and materials from the bunker and dropping it into the holes in the ground.
Once the bunker is empty one of the robots walks into it, placing a beacon. The robots then jump down into the holes, which begin to close again. Once they do, the beacon stops beeping, and the bunker then explodes.
*Back in the caverns*
Virus still remains in his throne. He records the bunkers explosion from a drone, saves it in a file, then sends it to the sheriff’s department computers and phones.
“This will get their attention. If not, we hit something bigger”

The Hunter's dream, long dormant, flared to life once again. The lodge's walls reconstructed themselves once again. Weapons in racks seemed to gleam with malice and hunger. The man, Sabernus, sleeping for an eternity, wakes from his nightmare. "what now?" ask the man. then he notices the house forming once again. He thought that the hunter's dream shall no longer have a purpose. He was wrong. "oh, please no! not again," cries the man, barely old enough to be an adult. "Anything but the hunt," he begs. He knew it was futile. The hunt would call to him, like a starving man to a feast. The relish of being in the mortal world once again would be too tempting to resist. The house arms him, with the great moonlight sword and the Blades Of Mercy. then bring him his old cloak and hat, from his first hunt. "Very well, lets get this over with," huffs Sabernus, and walks out of the Lodge's door. The door leads to the bunker, ruined by a red metal. "What is this stuff?" mutters Sabernus. He didn't know, but he did have a feeling that, whatever lay inside the bunker, he must see
