Vault Air Lock[/b][/right]

As those who had been selected to become part of the expedition team for Ark Prime gathered at the air lock, the first door slowly began to unlock itself and open very slowly. The moaning sound as it did so indicate that it had not been open in a very long time. Onlooker’s stopped in their tracks to peer at those who would be the first humans to venture out of the vault since it was sealed. In the past they had simply ignored the door as they knew that their best chances were in the vault.

However, despite the door never been opened, behind it was a sort-of-known figure behind it peering down at his watch as to indicate that the team was late for their meeting.

Knight had been seen around the vault more often than not, but he rarely interacted with citizens below level-4 clearance. Rumours stated that he was part of the US Intelligence division and was responsible for hunting down and eliminating Red Chinese Operatives that were working within the borders of the US. Others state that he was the programmer of the A. Is that run the vault as he is the only one ever to be seen entering the A.I core. Whatever the case, him being part of this mission was rather unexpected and quite frankly a daunting aspect on top of the already nerve-wrecking assignment.

“How nice for all of you to finally show up an hour late. Did you think that Ark Prime was just going to find itself?” Knight announced, his voice filled with earned arrogance.

“There’s no need to be rude, Mr. Knight. I’m still finalising the sample codes as we speak.” A familiarly friendly female voice would call out; its source was everywhere. 

A blue silhouette of a female formed within the roomy air lock. Alpha, the domestic A.I that was often thought as the true Overseer of the vault. She was always friendly and never had a mean word to say about any of the dwellers. She also oversaw the conduction of all research within the vault.

“Ma’am. With all due respect, why was I sent here earlier than needed to be?” Knight asked angrily. 
“Because, I needed you to ensure all equipment was in satisfactory condition for the mission. Now… I believe Omega would like a word with you all. Please, come in.”

There was a moment that allowed everyone to filter in and take a seat on the wall mounted benches. 
Suddenly Omega, the red male A.I made and appearance, looking between both Alpha, Knight and the rest of the team. He gave out a low sigh before stating.

“Greeting. As some of you may know, I am Omega. Security Warden of Vault 216. It is my duty to keep all dwellers safe, regardless of whether they are inside the vault or out.” Omega said, his voice neither welcoming nor did it hold any kind of scorn against the dwellers.
“Your objective is to locate Ark Prime and install the data core, seen before you.” Omega gestured towards five [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/7/75/Catherine_Halsey_Getting_Cortana_in_Halo_-_Reach.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100917224613]Data Cores[/url] that were placed on the ground. “These are of vital importance as they contain all that we have learnt here. If one were to be destroyed, the effects would be disastrous.” Omega explained.

“Now, before you find Ark Prime, you must locate a nearby radio tower and install software from you PIP-BOY onto it. That way I am able to stay in secure contact with you and inform you of what my EYE-Bots in the area have discovered. Any questions?”
