Gregor shifted in the armor and grimaced at the memories of when he’d been stuck in the damn thing that was too heavy to move without power. He’d been set up with one of the standard suits and paired up with a team that was heavily populated with the new special forces boys, all eager to get into the Zoo and do some damage. They still chuckled and discussed all the unbelievable stories they’d heard about the place.

In fairness, a few of the stories were far-fetched, and yet not quite as unrealistic as they seemed to think. Gregor himself chuckled nervously when they talked about videos of a massive, four-eyed creature that spat venom and could crush suits of armor under the weight of only one of its six legs.

“There is a saying out here—” he said as they began their march through the thick jungle. “Well, it’s not really a saying but more of common superstition. Try not to think of your own personal nightmares. They have a habit of coming to life around here.”

One of the men raised an eyebrow while the rest shrugged. They didn’t feel comfortable enough around him to crack jokes, but it was clear that they weren’t convinced.

“These plants are pretty odd,” one of them said and poked at the bark with his rifle. “But so far, there’s nothing really out of the ordinary. We were on a mission in the Amazon of Venezuela about three…four years ago? The monsters there were pretty damn fucked up. And I’m not even talking about the animals.”

The rest of the special forces men chuckled, but those who didn’t have any part in whatever it was that had happened laughed nervously. There were talks about black operations run all over the world, but there was very little proof, which was the point. Hearing about them actually happening was worrying, if only because people were killed all around the globe for knowing less.

“Look out!” one of the men called as something big and black bounded from the trees above them. Gregor had his gun up, but the sound of gunfire already filled the jungle. A low roar from the massive panther was difficult to hear after the shots but then it whined pitifully for a few long seconds before it dropped its head.

“Well,” one of the men said and moved closer, “that was interesting, but they sure do go down easy, don’t they?”

Gregor shrugged in response. “In all fairness, for most of them, it becomes a matter of bulk. These smaller groups tend to leave us alone unless we get close to their young or something like that.”

“These creatures have babies?” the man asked as he poked cautiously at the panther’s shoulder.

“I wouldn’t do that,” Gregor warned. “These creatures tend to travel in packs. Did none of you read the information that I gave you?”

“Not really,” the man said with a shrug and straightened from his study of the body of the creature they’d just killed. “Then again, it doesn’t look like we needed them.
