Deep inside of a top secret Russian research facility located in the center of a closed city, a dead woman wakes up.
(I'm bringing Izzy back until someone else dies too)
Aside from her sore throat and headache, she seems to be fully capable, and so as she can't remember anything she's quickly debriefed by the lead scientist of the facility. Apparently, she was an elite VDV trooper who broke her neck during a botched landing. Then, she was sent to the research facility to use her body for their research. As it happened, she was compatible with their experimental procedures, and they managed to bring her back, though with memory loss. That's what they tell her, anyway.
After a few weeks of fitness training and recuperation, they tell her she's recovered, and it's time for her to serve her country once more. Not really knowing what else to do, she agrees.
After the researchers fit her with extensive internal personal monitoring equipment, they tell her she's going to a top-secret international counterterrorism unit.
As she boards the bus to the nearest airport, she feels a sense of deja vu.
Namarome and Anaconda have been making steady 'progress' with Speaker, in that she now breaks down in tears and begs them to not hurt her whenever they approach. Namarome is beginning to think they should stop, at least until she refuses to answer a question.
Waffle has been recording the beating of Speaker on the cell's security camera. She hasn't told anyone, or made the recordings available to anyone else though. She's keeping it for blackmail material, just in case.
Maricela is trying to convince S to do some CQC practice with her.
Snow is obsessively maintaining her rifle in between shooting practice, as she usually does.
