Mountain Dragon
Mystic's PSYOPS Officer
Deep in the remote mountains of Colorado lies the abandoned Indian Peaks Research Facility. But all is not quiet at the top secret forgotten facility. The experiments left behind have lain quiet in the cold for years…but no more. And when these abhorrent atrocities of twisted research find their way out of the once impenetrable fortress, only one thing stands between them and the human population. The U.S. Army's Special Forces 4th Battalion...and the tip of that spear is Fire Team Mystic.

The 4th Battalion's Mission
4th Battalion under the Special Operations Command (USASOC) is tasked with Xeno-Ops; the detection, containment, suppression, and eradication of paranormal and xenobiotic activity pertaining, but not limited to, the United States Operational Theater.
Xeno-Ops is the only current function of the U.S. Military that conducts combat operations domestically beyond the scope and jurisdiction of civilian law enforcement agencies, though in rare circumstances Xeno-Ops has worked in conjunction with local law enforcement.
