A Race Against Time Part 1

"Fuck, what is this!?" Bret yelled out as he and his squad scouted the area around Destiny City.

"General, I wouldn't touch it!" A young man in military duds ran over and pulled Bret back. "We don't know what it is exactly."

"Why the fuck would I touch it!? I don't want to lose a hand or something." Bret had only gotten close to it. But from the sounds of his subordinate, it seemed like he was someone who just went around touching things willy nilly. "Anyway, set up your testing station and try to figure out what it is. We will not be bringing anything back to the city that might cause harm to the people."

  "Yes, General!" The young man saluted and went right to work, getting the others together. The substance on the ground looked like a black liquid puddle. What exactly it was, Bret did not know, but if it was near the city, he had to figure it out.
