Everything felt... Strange. Soldiers were up and alert and waiting for vampires to overrun the entire fort. Yet, none have showed themselves and everybody was losing patience. Maria hopped on by the wall and looked out upon the lighted area around the entire facility to see nothing. Nothing but a small area ahead, behind some torn up trees. A camp. Makeshift it seemed. Several other SOLDIERs began to notice it too. Upon sight, Maria was almost certain to give out a sweep order around the area and to surround it with salt and garlic. That seemed to not be the case for her this time.

"You, you're in charge. You three, come with me." Maria points towards several people and assigned a Sergeant SOLDIER to be temporary command officer. They were told to stay put and to remain within the fort as the squad check out the camp in front of them. The Fort's gates opened and Maria moved out with the rest of her team, quickly approaching the camp amongst bushes, leaves and trees as they looked into what happened around that camp. It quickly became clear that it was a fighting pit and... Matt?

Maria's eyes shifted sharper towards the young figure. That was Matt, and he was pit against somebody who also seemed to be of SOLDIER origin. His uniform did not reveal his name and they were engaged in a conversation. From the looks of it, Matt knows who the person who was talking to. She watched the entire thing unfold from afar, but remaining hidden.
