Project Virgo

In August 1964, SHIELD received an emergency call for an exfil from an agent embedded behind enemy lines in North Vietnam to monitor unusual activity. American air raids strafed the coast and threatened a secretive installation of international significance. Senior Soviet scientists and their Vietnamese counterparts worked in strictest secrecy on some kind of heavy industrial and engineering activities. SHIELD arrived just in time to witness a daring daylight raid on the facility by Soviet super soldiers, and during the violent firefight, several were subdued.

Project Virgo followed throughout the course of September and October as SHIELD senior agents tried to figure out what to do with the crop of warriors bred for infiltration and assassination. The answer was installing them at two secretive sites in Québec, Canada, and Minnesota, and attempting a reverse indoctrination program. Psychologists and psychiatric doctors created an ambitious regimen, deploying it on their 'guests.'

All seemed to be going well, to some degree. Hopes rose that their therapy could be refined and used for wider gains. Virtue reigned. Men and women of Project Virgo patted themselves on the back at early gains.

Then, one day in mid-October, the comm systems bleated out their Russian command phrases and all hell broke loose.
