Once again brought back from a state of abandonment, for the second time in the facility's life, the constant hum of activity nonetheless had a sense of belonging. While signs of its extended period of disuse which had ended only months prior were still visible, a few patches of overgrown greenery and worn paint, the fact that the complex was up and operating at near peak efficiency was testament to the drive and ingenuity of those involved. And to the grave nature of the new threat which those occupying the Stadium's refurbished facilities faced.

For now however, those stationed at the now state-of-the-art complex enjoyed a small moment of peace. Although for most if felt more like a calm before a storm, none were going to squander the chance to take advantage of the break in the action. Around the Stadium crews worked to complete minor repairs and retrofits, now that most of the major systems were back to operational capacity, the previous cacophony of heavy machinery having given way to the whirr of simple power tools. Analysts were settling into previously empty offices and networks routed for full connectivity. All working towards assisting the most important personnel currently on base.

The Operators themselves were scattered across the base, many were taking the time to brush up on training, self-evident from the muffled pops of gunfire echoing from the range. Others, having been flown in from across the globe, taking the time to get over jet lag and adjust themselves. The lab, having been only recently fully staffed, was another hotbed of activity in the complex as Operators spent the time going over and familiarizing themselves with kit both new and old. Of course, there were more than a few just now settling in, even now Rainbow was growing at an impressive rate, as they stowed belongings in barracks and familiarized themselves with the complex itself.

A sense of poised preparedness permeated the air, though not one that was unfamiliar for those around.
