Proceed with extreme caution, we're dealing with a BSL-4 threat contamination." - RHBD Squad Leader "Touch nothing until we've completed our sweep. This ship will kill you." - RHBD Squad Leader "We found the missing link. The answers are in Scotland." - Falck <br> ### Description Operation: Decaying Element was carried out by the Royal Highland Biohazard Detail (RHBD), with assistance from [[Tombstone Squad]]. When local scrappers reported an abandoned transport vessel off the coast of Scotland was contaminated by hazardous material, the RHBD was called in to secure the scene. Getting wind of the incident, [[Codex/Specialists/Maria Falck|Falck]] led [[Codex/Specialists/Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky|Boris]], [[Codex/Specialists/Wikus "Casper" Van Daele|Casper]] and [[Codex/Specialists/Santiago "Dozer" Espinoza|Dozer]] to [[Redacted|the Hebrides]], following the trail of breadcrumbs that had started in [[Reclaimed|Czechia]]. Initially, the unregistered vessel yielded few answers. All serial numbers had been removed or scratched out. Motherboards, servers, and hardware had been destroyed and rendered undecipherable. However, one blood sample collected had a match in the database: [[8838|Leila Zekkal]], a [[No-Pats|No-Pat]] soldier who'd disappeared six months prior.
