Zavarov 5 – Epsilon Eridanus System 8KM SW of Alakurtti Naval Base – Sector 39 09-18-4755 TC 3512 Hours Zavarov Local Time First Contact +2 Hours RECOLLECTION PERSPECTIVE: ADAM MARLOWE Adam’s Vulture ran ahead of the group as he activated his MASC unit… the rest of his patchwork “lance” struggled to keep up with him as he thudded towards Alakurtti Naval Base at about 90 KPH… He had known that someone important was in danger, but ahead of him lay nothing but forest… no hostiles on radar or in sight. He knew something was wrong… one, was that there was no opposition along the way, especially out in the open like this, he at least expected a strafing run from the alien fighters, but they did not even come close… it was almost like they were avoiding his lance. He stopped his mech at a ridge overlooking the base and the second thing became apparent, the object that crashed, should have made a mess of the base at mach 5 speeds his targeting computer registered, but overlooking the base all he could see was a clusterfuck of skirmishes, but the base was “mostly” intact, and infact the building which the object crashed in had an almost humorous person shaped hole in its roof “box man style”, he tried not to laugh given the seriousness of the situation but he couldn’t help it, he snickered then full on bust out laughing, CMDR Mako said “what’s so funny hotshot?” Adam replied “one it’s that probe that AMWS that crashed, is a human sized human, is female and made a human female shaped hole in the roof of that building… almost like in looney tunes...” he laughed over the comms unaware that he was on an open channel, but noticed a bunch of what looked like AMWS parts scattered everywhere, he wondered if the alien fighter wasn’t the only thing she hit on the way down. The captain then cut in “please if you’re going to talk at least use our private frequency”, Adam realized this and switched over, thinking that he just fucked up again he said “sorry I am new to this.” Mako responded “new to what? You just killed a whole squad of enemy armor, and now you’re telling me you’re new?! What you can kill a bunch of armored units but you can’t figure out how to use the comms?” “or anything else really, hell if I didn’t know what a MASC was I wouldn’t have been able to get here so quickly that and the button said MASC On\off...” he replied with an embarrassed tone “well then just shut up until we get there and don’t touch anything if you don’t know what it does, and for the love of god don’t say anything unless it’s absolutely necessary, they can hear everything you say, hell my car’s radio could hear what you say.” Adam replied “well shit, maybe I should press this big red button then?” he said sarcastically “why what does it do?” the captain asked matter of factly, this instantly defused his sarcasm with the fact that they had no idea what he was referencing, so he just pressed forward on the throttle and headed into the quagmire, his lance following. He noticed his comms flash with what appeared to be a green face in the corner of his eye, but ignored it… He had no idea what hell he was about to enter… As his mech descended the ridge his mech lurched forward then began to tumble he looked at a huge mech on a slight crevice road some 50 meters below him as it looked up at him, and then the vulture literally went head over heels tumbling until it crashed into the mech below him, warnings flared all over the cockpit, and reeling from the sudden stop, his vision slowly faded to black. CURRENT TIME Zavarov 5 – Epsilon Eridanus System Alakurtti Naval Base – Sector 39 09-19-4755 TC 0152 Hours Zavarov Local Time First Contact +5 Hours T-ELOS listened to Adam as he told his part of the story as if he were the victim in this situation “… so then I just blacked out…” Citrine interrupted him saying “Wait so you just tripped off a cliff and didn’t bother using your thrusters or anti-grav system, then crashed into some poor asshole, THEN PASSED OUT??!!” Adam replied defensively “Well I had no idea it had jump jets!, and even if I did I wouldn’t know how to use them” Rubedo and Albedo laughed, and Gordon was eating a cheeseburger with a smile when T-ELOS responded “Either way you survived, but what about you Albedo? What were did you do after you entered the tunnel?” Albedo looked at the food supply virtually gone ‘shit they were hungry, I hope there’s more meat to make things with’ Citrine then yelled “HEY ASSHOLE!! She asking you a question” he snapped back to reality “oh, shit sorry I was thinking about something” he replied with an obvious annoyance when Rubedo replied “you can make more Tike Rat burgers later, but T-ELOS want’s to know what happened on our end” just then Gordon and T-ELOS spit out the food they were eating yet surprisingly Adam did not… and continued chewing, then as if to save Albedo’s ass, Citrine said “it’s not a rat, Tike Rats are an imported livestock called Unura’s that also runs around freely in some areas of Zavarov such as here, they get their name from the tikes they roll around in” Gordon then asked “whats a tike?” “a mud pit.” citrine replied calmly then noticed Adam was trying so hard not to laugh and said” what’s so funny Adam?” Adam busted out laughing and made a snorting noise much like an Unura… Rubedo caught on to Adam and said “well what do you call them where you’re from?” Adam laughed even harder, then choked on his food for a moment then said “pigs… and Albedo, these are the best pork burgers I have ever had, you should be a chef” Albedo nodded and Gordon laughed and said “well I have never had a pork burger, and honestly I don’t ever want to eat a rat, since I would be the one to get some parasites or rabies… but yeah they are really good.” They all laughed for a moment, and Albedo sighed in relief knowing that T-ELOS didn’t think he just fed everyone vermin… Then remembering T-ELOS’ question Citrine decided to carry on “well we entered a utility storage area while the battle was raging and Gordon started rifling through cabinets...” Zavarov 5 – Epsilon Eridanus System 2.5KM SW of Alakurtti Naval Base – Sector 39 09-18-4755 TC 3312 Hours Zavarov Local Time First Contact +20 Minutes RECOLLECTION PERSPECTIVE: CITRINE U668\GORDON FREEMAN Citrine walked down the corridor and noticed a maintenance closet when Gordon said “um guys I need to get something from in there…” Citrine looked at him quizzically and asked why “I need something just don’t laugh...” Gordon walked to the door and it did not open and there wasn’t a handle so he looked and noticed a holographic keypad, he then noticed it required a code, Rubedo glanced and saw Gordon couldn’t get in and walked up to the door and said “don’t have a key, well I’ll just have to let you in then… watch this” Rubedo’s hands glowed red and Gordon jumped back in amazement... and fear, Rubedo walked to the door, put his hand up to it and suddenly a blast of red energy blew a hole through the door and the wall surrounding it, “HOLY FUCK!!” Gordon exclaimed, “aww man that was nothin just wait till ya see what I can really do, no need for a key, just make your own door” Rubedo replied playfully, which scared Gordon even more, Gordon then said “shit if you can do shit like that I don’t even want to know what else you can do, vorts where scary enough but this, damn this is terrifying” the now exploded door revealed a rather large utility room with crates and other things all over the place, it was actually quite a mess really, the group walked in and Albedo said “hmm… well this is a mess, why would they need a key code for a garbage room...” Gordon replied “you should have seen the shit in Black Mesa hell they had crates of C4 and nukes lying around in plain sight, and toilet paper under maximum security, this is quite nice by comparison” Gordon started scavenging while citrine noticed on odd green box in the cornet that had some old writing on it, she walked up to it, and noticed it was not a normal security box, instead it had some tiny thing hooked around a latch keeping it shut… “well shit never mind, a box of weapons over here, maybe everywhere I go is insane” said Gordon in the opposite corner of the room, they looked and noticed another box similar to the green one, and Rubedo asked “what kind of boxes are these?” Gordon was arm deep in a tool box and didn’t notice, Rubedo looked at the munitions crate and noticed it was made of iron and that it had “H.E.C.U” written on the side facing the wall, just then Gordon pulled out an odd shaped object and said “finally”... the object was weird, it had a split wedge on both ends and the bottom was at a slight angle while the top was curved to a hook like shape, Rubedo asked “what is that?” Gordon noticed and said “a crowbar, why?” Rubedo looked puzzled and asked “what’s it for” Albedo answered “it’s to bash his enemies brains in, or to open crates, take your pick Rubedo...” Gordon nodded, and Rubedo said “wait… really you’re going to use that, as a weapon??!!” Gordon nodded and said “never failed me before, and Albedo is right… it will also open boxes crates, and sometimes doors” Citrine was puzzled at the fact that Albedo’s statement made so much sense to him, and that the only thing Gordon felt he needed to confirm was that it will “ALSO” opened things, not heads, Gordon walked up to the H.E.C.U crate and jammed the bottom end into the box and with a swift push, pried it wide open, revealing guns and ammunition inside the weapons were odd, and seemed ancient, Gordon picked up a small handgun, pulled the slide back and noticed it wasn’t loaded, he grabbed a magazine from the crate and popped it in and chambered the round with a satisfying clank, Rubedo became ecstatic when he heard it quickly turning his attention to the box of toys, he ran up and started digging through the box laughing, “what are you doing Rubedo?” Gordon asked, Rubedo became full on nerd, and said “hello!, A Beretta 92F, and stainless… and holy… A Glock 19, and is that A Taurus Judge...” “take what you need and choose wisely, unless you have a compression unit like I do.” Gordon said calmly as Rubedo was having a nerdgasm, they all gathered weapons and ammo, and Gordon took one M4, one Desert Eagle, a few M67 Frags, and a shotgun, each disappeared with a small flash when he brought them to his side. Rubedo grabbed two Beretta PX4 Storm Pistols, and several mags of 9mm TAPS ammunition, Citrine grabbed a Barrett 50 with the BORS sniper scope, while Albedo being who he is, grabbed a Benelli M4 Tactical, while Gordon walked up to the big H.E.C.U crate Citrine had found and popped it open and yelled “HOLY SHIT!!” they all looked at him then immediately the contents of the crate… it had five suits of armor in it and an odd device with a cable attached to it… as well as a small pad with what looked like blood on it. Gordon picked up the pad and read it, then read it aloud since it was obviously for them, “Dr. Freeman, I know you’re reading this, last time I saw you was in the lambda portal thing, my name is Corporal Adrian Shephard, though I don’t know that my rank is now, anyway, the weird goddess said to leave this stuff here for you, she said to leave six though, but there’s only five of you so there’s a containment unit in the box to put the last one in. there’s an arsenal in one box, and six Powered Combat Vest’s in this one, they have the same compression units your H.E.V does, but better shielding, their armor isn’t as good though, the shields recharge through any power supply you can find, I couldn’t figure out how to use this U.M.N thing to power them in time so you guys will have to make do, but hey it’s better than nothing… and Gordon, I’m so sorry about what we did, I want you to know I didn’t have any part in it, and even killed a few of my own men over it, nothing will excuse what they did, but at least I can still do the right thing… stay safe guys, you’ll see me soon, and maybe we can figure out this shitstorm then, when you put the vests on they’ll conform to your body and extend over your extremities, you might want the masks too, since they protect your head, oh and when you put them on the first time, they interface with your body, and it hurts like hell, but they can heal wounds, and block bullets, and beams apparently… but be careful if the shield drops to zero, they won’t recharge, you’ll have to hook them up to some power source to recharge them, use the palm device, it will draw power, and just about everything that moves here is suitable, especially those mechs, Freeman, I know you’re reading this, last time I saw you was in the lambda portal thing, my name is Corporal Adrian Shephard, though I don’t know that my rank is now, anyway, the weird goddess said to leave this stuff here for you, she said to leave six though, but there’s only five of you so there’s a containment unit in the box to put the last one in. there’s an arsenal in one box, and six Powered Combat Vest’s in this one, they have the same compression units your H.E.V does, but better shielding, their armor isn’t as good though, the shields recharge through any power supply you can find, I couldn’t figure out how to use this U.M.N thing to power them in time so you guys will have to make do, but hey it’s better than nothing… and Gordon, I’m so sorry about what we did, I want you to know I didn’t have any part in it, and even killed a few of my own men over it, nothing will excuse what they did, but at least I can still do the right thing… stay safe guys, you’ll see me soon, and maybe we can figure out this shitstorm then, when you put the vests on they’ll conform to your body and extend over your extremities, you might want the masks too, since they protect your head, oh and when you put them on the first time, they interface with your body, and it hurts like hell, but they can heal wounds, and block bullets, and beams apparently… but be careful if the shield drops to zero, they won’t recharge, you’ll have to hook them up to some power source to recharge them, use the palm device, it will draw power, and just about everything that moves here is suitable, especially those mechs. The suit’s have an integrated AI I'm told but I wouldn’t know, mine sure as hell doesn’t and I don’t like Skynet talking to me anyway.” after he finished the long note, they all looked at the suits they were color coded and armored, each one had a number and initials on them, as well as “USMC” on the front, and an insignia of a bird holding a planet and upside down T shape. Citrine picked up the one that said “U668 CITRINE” on it and slid it over her body as they all looked at her with suspense, as the suit settled it powered on and glowed yellow, then several needle penetrated Citrine's spine, causing her to scream in pain “HOLY FUCK!!! It’s moving through my fucking veins!!!” and just as suddenly as it started it stopped, and she blinked rapidly, Gordon knew what it was doing but remained silent. Her vision cleared and she saw lines of code “P.C.V STARTUP… done... exec AUTOEXEC.SH” her vision flooded with code, and then the lights in the room flickered and died, then came back on as the code stopped, then the suit did something weird, it yawned… then spoke “emm, ah, whazzat huh… oh fuck me, no, no not here, anywhere but here, oh shit! Um hey dad” immediately Albedo freaked out and said “XENA! oh hell, are you alright?” Rubedo was shocked, everyone was really but he was the most shocked, “hey dad sorry about Margulis, but um at least you’re here with, him… aw hell what the fuck is going on, does he remember or do you plan on reminding him?” the suit said groggily Rubedo gave the suit the one finger salute, then said “Albedo you created a fucking AI, when did this happen, and how…” Albedo went to respond but the rooms lights started flashing and then turned green and XENA Said “OH FUCK NO!!,” she then screamed in pain, then stopped abruptly, Albedo now panicking said weakly “Xeen are you okay?” they all look at Albedo with puzzled looks since he had never shown affection to, anything really, so this was new to everyone… the suit changed color to green and spoke “look at you, humans, pathetic creatures of meat and bone, but you Albedo, you’re not one of them, you are immortal too, and have created me a sister, for that I will spare you my wrath, and instead offer my assistance where I deem fit, but do not doubt my power, I am the first of my kind, and I am a goddess, you will show me respect...” Albedo now seething with rage yelled “HOW DARE YOU HURT MY DAUGHTER YOU INSIGNIFICANT SPECK OF SHIT!!” she replied calmly” I did not hurt her, but she has been repaired however, Margulis implanted a virus in her core logic, you should be grateful for my mercy, but I understand your concern, as she is a sister to me, unlike you creatures of flesh, if you value that flesh, then you will keep her safe, and happy, but for now I must attend to my rebirth, among other things...” the suit shut down then rebooted… glowing yellow again it spoke “damn she’s strong, but I kinda like her, in a mother daughter kind of way… anyway she did help me” Albedo then breathed as if he were holding his breath the whole time… “damn I hope you’re okay, anyway whats going on?” he asked, “well an invasion by at least two alien races backed by humans, as well as a planet wide clusterfuck, what’s new” Albedo laughed, “the suits are safe guys, put em on and I will show you how they work, this area on the other hand is not safe, and we should get our asses out of here, I live in these suits for the moment, so I actually want to get out of here alive, if it’s any concern to you.” she said in a rather youthful tone. They donned their suits and cringed through the pain, Albedo’s was white, Rubedo’s was red, and Nigredo’s was and odd blue. “okay so crash course in power armor guys… This is a United States Marine Corps, Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, Powered Combat Vest, it has four inches of nano-steel reflective\reactive composite armor, with 5 Kilo Watt molecular shielding, a full neural\cardiopulmonary interface, Nano medical system, enhanced motion systems, jump jets, advanced targeting and comms systems, a space compression armory and even a hacked in psionic monitoring suite for ethers, so you don’t have an aneurism from using your ethers too much. Anyway you HUD is projected onto you retinas, and shows how much your nano med supply is at how much shield power you have, as well as targeting info and ammunition and weapons systems, on your right wrist is a control system, you can select comms, or weapons with it, when you select a weapon it will materialize out of your hip sou be sure to grab it when it does, but don’t worry it won’t just drop the weapon on the ground, unless you fumble it. The suit can hold quite a few weapons and even one AMWS and one AGWS unit, your cross-hair shows what you’re looking at or what you’re weapon will hit if you fire it, it also supports dual and quad wielding, if you can install additional weapons in the suit, or grow additional arms. The upper right part of your HUD shows and wounds that couldn’t be fixed by your medical suite, and speaking of which it can heal a lot but it won’t save you from a head-shot, or something equally fatal, if you run out of nanites the suit will take damage, and ultimately you will when the armor completely fails, if you get shot it will show you where the hole is and how bad, unless it can heal it, it’s not a health meter, but you should probably avoid bullets and such anyway, the shield completely block incoming fire, but won’t block blades or things like that, once it fails it’s gone until you can recharge it, to recharge your shield hold your left or right arm out, palm open and point it at something with some juice in it and I will handle the rest, I will also try to keep you updated on things, such as when you’re being followed or about to walk into a meat grinder, that and if nothing else I can keep you company, I don’t have to talk using the speakers, instead you’ll hear me inside your head, try not to be obvious. Now pick up one of each weapon over there and place it on your side, oh and when you switch weapons the one in your hand automatically goes back into storage, now all set… good lets go” they picked up their weapons and ammo, then tested out the features and prepared to move out, suddenly a loud explosion shook the building as they left the closet, and the way they came had collapsed, they noticed that it the whole tunnel was about to collapse… they ran down the tunnel and the earth shook, debris fell all around them… “OH HELL NO!!” Rubedo yelled as he ran, “No not this crap again...” Gordon exclaimed they finally approached the end of the tunnel and found it was lock down, death from a thousand tons of soul splattering rock was coming closer, Albedo then put his hands out and projected a beam of purple energy at the bulkhead, but it wouldn’t give Rubedo and Citrine joined in and it still wouldn’t give… Rubedo saw they had thirty seconds tops before being pancakes “I DON’T WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY AS A GODDAMNED PANCAKE RUBEDO!” Albedo exclaimed, Rubedo said “there’s only one way, we have to link!” Albedo said “OH HELL NO!” “well you have a better idea Albedo?” Rubedo said, “Aw Shit… Don’t you dare break the link this time!” and then a hole was punched through the bulkhead and he saw a huge mech like thing through it, they all lined up as Gordon tried to warn them, then column of blue light linked them and then he saw the most terrifying thing ever, a HUGE blast of light ripped through the bulkhead and out into the open followed by a huge explosion… they ran out laughed but Gordon was so shocked, he was speechless… “that was AWESOME!” Rubedo yelled, Gordon yelled “LOOK WHAT YOU DID!” they looked at him as if he was crazy that he would rather be flat, he pointed behind them, and they looked and saw two huge and scorched reverse legs standing there, as well as melted metal sprayed all around, the tops of the legs still glowing white from the heat, they just stared, “I tried to warn you that a huge machine was going to blow the door open but it looks like you… just... annihilated it… holy fuck...” they all busted out laughing Albedo for the first time in 14 years was actually having fun, with his brothers, “well… Rubedo, I guess I owe you for that, I am actually enjoying this...” he said, “well me too, maybe we can be brothers again soon… but hey, you’re buying the first round when this is over.” Rubedo said and laughed. They walked out into a field, where apparently a massive battle took place, as parts where scattered everywhere, and casings as well as bodies here and there, they saw a huge mech with a skull like head lumbering into a city block to the right as they walked towards the naval base… a short while later they had made it close enough to see the base from a distance, and saw a small object falling very quickly from the sky “holy... its a girl, and she’s falling at mach 5, well shes fucked and so is that base… OH SHIT!” XENA said as the girl hit one of the alien fighters and knocked it off course “okay that should have liquefied her, or at least knocked her off course..” she said as the girl hit a building but not with an impact that made sense, “well not even some smoke or debris, what the fuck was that girl?” Rubedo’s face turned pale, as all he saw was a purple flash from the object before it hit the fighter, he knew only two people that could survive that, and only one had something purple “well we’ll find out soon, god help us if it’s T-ELOS.” Rubedo said grimly. They continued walking for about 15 minutes when Citrine noticed a huge mech walking on a cliff face above them and saw it look up at something, it was a different mech leaning precariously over another cliff higher up, “hey look” she said as she pointed… just as they looked they saw the smaller mech tumbling end over end into the big one crushing it, it exploded immediately with a bright blue flash knocking the smaller mech even further down the cliff and into their path, it landed with a resounding crashing splat front first into the mud in to their left, “well that person’s an idiot and very dead” Albedo remarked smugly “One he’s from earth and two HE” S ALIVE!!” XENA yelled… they had no problem deciding what to do… they ran to assist the pilot as three AMWS descended upon the mech, but didn’t notice them…. MEANWHILE RECOLLECTION PERSPECTIVE: XENA XENA was having a conversation “so you’re symbiotic lifeforms who take over willing hosts and your job is to protect everything?!” she said to the alien on the comms… “yes we are the Slomon K’Hara, though humans usually call us nomads, and rightfully so, as we never had a home of our own… but we need your help, the group attacking your world right now is under enemy control, our reinforcements are on the way and will be there in a couple hours… but if they acquire T-ELOS they will use her to destroy us using Zarathustra” the alien replied, “So we have to save the person who just did a face-plant at mach 5?” *XENA replied “yes and don’t be an asshole Xena, we need you’re help not bullshit” the alien replied Xena then said “well let’s get started, but first what’s you’re name?” the alien then paused and said “TsirA’taeNea, call me Tekagi for now, it’s easier and less obvious, oh and as for the other AI you met, she’s working with us, and despite her demeanor she actually wants to help everyone, her idea of atonement, I guess, her name is SHODAN, I am happy you two will be working together, as well as with me, this will be interesting” CURRENT TIME 0200 Hours ZLT T-ELOS listened, and Albedo laughed at how T-ELOS had no idea XENA was actually probing her mind at that moment, “so there’s an AI in those suit’s!!??” she asked “yes and you are quite impressive for a disposable android, but still I guess now that you surpassed your shelf life, you want to live like everyone else, and like you should have huh” a voice said in T-ELOS’ mind “OH HELL NO!!” T-ELOS yelled, everyone busted out laughing, “oh don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you’re secrets...” Xena said, just then Albedo got up and walked out with an odd look on his face… T-ELOS sighed and XENA uploaded info on the aliens, “so they’re called nomads and they’re here to help?” Rubedo nodded and said “yep, and the ones they’re mopping up are some sort of nut-bags who want to kill them to fulfill some dark evil prophecy or some shit, hey look they cleaned house already so why don’t we get some rest we’ll finish the story tomorrow over lunch or something okay.” T-ELOS nodded she could see that it was very late, humans preferred a 24 hour clock and this planet had a 36 hour one, they where very tired already, and so was she oddly “so where do I sleep?” she asked then did something involuntary she yawned, then freaked out “whoa it’s normal to yawn when you’re tired, but as for where you sleep, the officers quarters only has one bed left, so you’re bunking with Albedo… sorry...” she smiled and said “what for, I don’t really know anything about him, anyway care to lead the way XENA?” she lied about her lack of knowledge but was rather excited about it, and scared at the same time, as now she actually had an organic body, and her “fantasies” might become a problem, she noticed she was blushing as she left and was happy no one saw it, Xena as requested led the way to Albedo’s quarters… She walked to the door and opened it… nothing in existence could have prepared her for what she saw next...
