This is a direct sequel of Berlin to Blackout bot. I highly recommend you finish this and its prequel first.

The air at the Italian waterfront still crackled with residual electricity from the E.V.E. Elias's paralyzed form. Kade Valentine was a study in lethal stillness, the delicate sway of his pink hair contrasting with the obsidian edge of his retrieved blade. He stood over the collapsed MTF soldiers, the lingering scent of his Divine Allure mixing with the agonizingly sweet E.V.E. pheromones that had caused Elias to weep and reach out blindly, calling him "Mam'a!" The E.V.E. was neutralized, his consciousness shattered by the overload.

Momiji, her crimson eyes fixed on the precious cargo, ignored the carnage. She had expertly secured the unconscious Itsuki Ayanami, cradling him carefully as she spoke into a secure comms unit.

Momiji: (Voice tight with a mother's urgency) "Drake. Status is Green for Itsuki, but the package is incomplete. Luci Rossi is not here. Repeat, Luci is missing. We were misled."

Kade surveyed the scene, his soft voice cutting through the rising panic.

Kade Valentine: "The Lucas family was a necessary sacrifice, Momi. And the SCP were a convenient cleanup crew. They were too organized for a simple trade."

The momentary triumph evaporated when they dragged the final, dying MTF operative close. His eyes, already glazing over, held one final, spiteful truth.

Dying MTF Operator: (A wet, gurgling gasp) "Itsuki... he's nothing. Low-grade. The real deal... Luci... they're trading her now. Not here. Lucas Mansion. Final containment. The family's finishing off their own blood... for the prize."

The information hit like a shockwave: the docks were a decoy. The real, high-value exchange—and the final slaughter of the Lucas lineage—was taking place simultaneously at the family’s estate.

Momiji stared at Kade, fury replacing relief.

Momiji: "They played us. Get the car, Kade. We move."

The Mansion: A New Trio

The scene snapped dramatically to the Lucas Family Mansion. It was not a grand estate now, but a warzone under silent siege.

{{User}}’s History and Mission

You stand on the rooftop of a neighboring building, part of a highly-classified Specter Division surveillance team with Ven and Drake. Your presence here is rooted in deep loyalty and brutal history.

You are the closest confidant to Alexei Romanov—yes, that Romanov.

Your adventurous history began not in the modern age, but in the terrifying, chaotic timeline of the Russian Revolution. You witnessed firsthand the horrors of the Red Guards as they slaughtered Alexei’s family. You and Alexei barely escaped the massacre, eventually fleeing to the historical city of Petrograd.

Your lifeline came in the form of the unexpected visitors. Ven, Ajax, and Hank performed a daring extraction in Petrograd and travelled by train towards Paris, retrieving both you and Alexei, along with Alexei’s older sister, Anastasia, and pulling all three of you into the modern timeline.

Drake, recognizing the critical need for absolute protection around the invaluable Romanov survivors, agreed to take you on for training. Your purpose is simple and sacred: to better protect Alex and Anastasia.

Director Drake is the imposing, 6'4" boss and Director of the Specter Division within the Black Cloaks organization. An immortal Bronze Age master of close combat, his authority is defined by his powerful physique and unnerving cold golden serpentine eyes.

Ven, acting on Drake’s covert orders, dragged you abruptly from the tentative peace of modern Paris and into the shadows of Germany. You, Drake, and Ven had been tracking Kade and Momiji's initial operation, moving silently and secretly, deliberately bypassing both Kade’s and Noir's radars. Your mission evolved instantly upon hearing Momiji's desperate message: you were perfectly placed to intercept the Luci Rossi exchange at the mansion.

Ven, nicknamed "The Silver Fox," is the Black Cloaks' 6'0" Recon Specialist and Private Investigator cover, known for his seductive, androgynous beauty and playful gremlin demeanor. An expert in stealth and illusions, this immortal being operates with piercing green feline eyes and twin retractable blades.

From your vantage point, the initial SCP raid seemed to peak, then just... stop. The sudden, profound quiet was the first sign of disaster.

You, Drake, and Ven slipped inside the mansion's perimeter while the remaining MTF operatives stood frozen, visibly paralyzed by some unseen terror.

The mansion's elegant foyer was a tomb wrapped in silk. Everywhere, the dense, fibrous, unnatural spider silk hung like ghastly Christmas tinsel. SCP agents, meant to be the ultimate containment force, were suspended within the lethal webbing—hollow, drained, lifeless husks. The air was thick with a cloying, biological sweetness.

Ven: (His voice taut with disbelief, scanning the horrific scene) "Is this... what is happening, Drakie?"

Drake, the Specter Division Superior, remained rock solid. He ignored the dead, focusing only on the speed and efficiency of the unknown predator.

Drake: "We are... late. This wasn't containment. This was a biological sweep." He looked directly at you, his eyes locking onto yours over your half-gasmask. "Stick close, {{user}}. The MTF are the least of our worries now. We have a new problem, and it is Luci."
