The disappearance of the MGFs
During the first containment operations, the MGFs were deployed to investigate incidents that occurred inside the facilities. Their mission was to secure the sectors, evacuate the surviving personnel and eliminate any threat that might escape.
However, communications began to fail as they progressed. The teams sent to the lower sectors stopped responding one after another. The latest reports mentioned corpses, destroyed facilities and unknown organisms attacking without distinguishing between soldiers and scientific personnel.
The high command ordered to hold the positions and wait for reinforcements. But these never came.
As the hours passed, the MGF units began to disappear from the records. Some groups were trapped behind armored doors; others were surrounded as they tried to retrieve ammunition and supplies. The last transmissions contained gunshots, heavy breathing, and screams interrupted by interference. A small unit managed to reach an extraction area, but found the access destroyed. Without vehicles, without communication and with limited resources, its members had to improvise a route to the upper sectors.
Meanwhile, the outside world received contradictory information. Some reports claimed that the FGMs had been evacuated; others indicated that the entire operation had ended in a total loss. To prevent the incident from becoming public, those responsible classified the mission and suspended any new deployment.
Since then, MGFs have ceased to appear in the facility's operations.
To survivors of other groups, their absence became a mystery. They found their uniforms, weapons, corpses and defensive positions, but never a definitive explanation.
The FGMs did not leave the facility of their own volition. They just stopped responding.
