"Operation: Mutant Strike" Prologue/Story (by Dumscheissekopf)


"Operation Letzterschutz" has been foiled.  Through the bravery and heroics of BJ Blazkowicz, the Nazi plan to build a secret army in South America and develop the deadly weapon, the "gyropanzer" has fallen apart, and peace has returned to South America (well...as much as it was there to begin with).  BJ hopped              inajeepandreturnedtotheUnitedStatesforamuchneededrest.

...but sometimes things aren't that easy...

Years later, reports begin to trickle in of strange activity in the region where the "Triumvira                                                            tehadbeenoperating.Sightingsofzombiesandstrangecreatureshavegottenthelocalsspooked,andtheareahasbecomewidelyabandoned.ThereportsfindtheirwaytotheUSgovernment,whomakesnoteofthemandfilesthemaway.Monstersandothersuchnonsensedon'tinteresttheOSS...theyhaveotherthingstoworryabout.

...if only they knew...

BJ's destruction of the "gyropanzer" and Wolfgang Eisenkrieger, leader of the Triumvirate, was the end of "Operation: Letzterschutz", but by no means the end of the Nazis diabolical schemes.  Eisenkreiger was a wise leader, and planned for everything, even his own death.  He refused to let his legacy end simply because he was defeated in battle, and had made preparations for an even more sinister plan to take effect if "Operation: Letzterschutz" were to fail.

...and so it did...and so the new plan began...

The US government should have known.  Shortly after BJ returned to the US, a "cleaner" team was sent to South America to assist the cleanup operation.  When they arrived, though, what they found was shocking.  All evidence of BJ's occupation in the area was still intact, but not a single body could be found in the area.  What had become of them all?  The US leaders assumed some sort of cleanup action had already taken place, and called it "case closed" so they could get on with other business.

...little did they know it was a sign of what was to come...

Hidden in a series of underground catacombs, an army of hideous mutants was preparing to invade the free world and avenge the destruction of the Triumvirate.  The new operation, code named "Operation: Mutant Strike", was being lead by the evil Nazi SS commander, Colonel Muller.  It was through his actions that the zombies had been spawned, and it would be under his leadership that the hideous death mutants would march across the face of South, and eventually, North America, unless they were stopped.

Muller had been chosen for his task because of his natural cowardice.  Eisenkrieger knew that he would stay hidden during an allied invasion of the Triumvirate territory if ordered to do so, and at the first sign of BJ's presence, Muller had gone into hiding the the catacombs.  He wasn't on the list of known Nazi or South American targets, and BJ never had a reason to perform a search for him.  Surrounded by his trained SS guards, Muller remained there until he received either an "all clear" alert, or news of Eisenkrieger and the Triumvirate's destruction.

...then the day of destruction came...

The first phase of "Operation: Mutant Strike" was for Muller to contact shaman known as "The Raven".  Muller performed this task, and The Raven quickly summoned some local natives to cart ever single body BJ had left behind into the underground catacombs.  The Nazis were given proper buriel, but The Raven had other plans for the bodies of the South American soldiers, per the orders of Eisenkreiger.

...and so it began...

Using a mixture of herbal concoctions and strange tribal magic, The Raven reanimated the corpses, much as Schabbs had done with his mutant serum.  This time, though, the mutants were much more intelligent, and able to be equipped with much more advanced weapons.  Muller and the Raven lured innocent residents into the catacombs to be used as target practice for their mutant army, and prepared for the day when they would seek revenge for the death of their leader, Eisenkreiger.

...that day was drawing near...

The South American officials who had reclaimed power since the elimination of El Presidente began to panic.  Reports of mutant sightings were growing more and more frequent.  Well aware of BJ's mission to stop the Triumvirate, the South American government began to blame the United States for the mutants, and demanded that something be done about it once.  Tensions began to build between the US and South America.

...something had to be done quickly...

The US government still refused to take the reports seriously.  The end of WWII had signified the beginning of a long recovery process, and they had little or not interest                                                  intheaffairsofremoteSouthAmerica.Still,hopingtoavoidanyunnecessaryunpleasantries,thegovernmentrequestedthatasingleagentbesenttoperformaninvestigation.Therewastoomuchdemandforagentsintheintelligencedepartmentasitwas,andtheycouldonlyspareoneman.

...or in this case, one woman...

Enter special agent Jill Hunter.  Trained in the art of stealth, subterfuge, and the other finer points of intelligence gathering, as well as an expert shot with a rifle, agent Hunter was still considered expendable because of the sexist state of the agency at the time.  This made little sense, since it was her qualifications that got her the special recognition she needed to get the position in the first place, but it was of little consequence.  She was glad to accept the assignment, whether there was anything to it or not.

After only a matter of days, with some help from the South American locals, agent Hunter was able to ascertain the location of the entrance to the catacombs from which the mutants had come.  There was definite evidence that something evil had been taking place in the underground passages.  Without any form of backup or outside assistance, Jill Hunter made her way into the dark, dank underground passages and cocked her rifle.  She could handle this mission, and she would handle it her way.  After all, she was afraid of no man...or monster...

...and so it begins...
