The plan for the operation was for the UBCS team to enter and distract the experimental Tyrant model known as Thanatos, allowing Nikolai to obtain a sample of the creature's blood. That part, at least, went as planned. The team engaged Thanatos in the University's Back Square and allowed Nikolai to plant an extractor on its back, draining an amount of its blood into a capsule. At that point, though, things got out of control. Thanatos slaughtered the ground team and escaped before the blood sample could be retrieved.
