3012: a hope for humanity IC

[Grandsword]

it was the dawn of yet another day, and johnson stood watch on a makeshift guardtower. It was a normal day in the borderlands between civilization and the "event barrens". he noted. of course by normal, he meant that an endless slew of inhuman monsters were preparing to hurl themselves at the walls of his settlement. he took a drag of a cigarette and pulled out a walkie-talkie. "this is colonel Darkly. all units, report in for morning roll call."

A air transport flew over civilization heading to the borderline filled with men in assorted forms of armor, the only similarity being their badge. One of them sitting towards the edge of the hatch was Nicholas who had his rifle between his legs, holding the gun by the barrel and looking ahead at the man in front of him. He could not believe his position but it was the orders to provide assistance and he was the first to volunteer. "Sixty seconds." A intercom announced to the men awaking most who have slept. The sniper adjusted the bandanna around his mask and crammed a magazine into his rifle prepared for the next events to unfold.

"skys are clear colonel" Nicias relayed back to Johnson from his air born position scouting the parameter. "and yes i know. eyes sharp and stay alert. as always" he scanned the horizon before glancing down at his instruments. they confirmed what his eyes told him. the skys were clear.

Manos did his usual survey of the area. He checked the perimeter of the labs, scanned the area for intruders, and tested the area for contaminants. But this wasn't any ordinary survey. This would be his last. He finished planting the thermal charges in the base of the lab, near his old chamber. He downloaded any data he missed and left. He engaged his energy reactors and began to fly. He used a basic aerodynamic armor, completely silver. He didn't think he had to be stealthy. At a safe distance, he detonated the charges. He flew farther and farther away from the lab until it was a dot in the distance. He came upon a city of sorts and noticed the vehicles. He slowed down but continued flying. This knew sight Intrigued him.

The aircraft flew over and landed in a open area. The light turned green and the hatch opened, everyone getting out and moving off the landing zone. Nicholas slug his rifle around his back, letting it hang by the strap while he held his hat down, doing the same as the other men but knowing what to do. The sniper slowly turned heading to where he was instructed to go to towards where the Colonel was to report arrival.

Noah went to the watchtower immediately. He saluted to Johnson. "Sir! Reporting for duty on behalf of Hemen Co., sir!"

"Take the damn shot, John ..." John Davis, a man who, now retired from the Military, is taking Justice into his own hands as he is in Asia, killing a guilty man, guilty of killing hundreds of children. John looked through the scope of his LRSR, short for Long Rage Modified Sniper Rifle, and put the crosshairs over the man. Davis then pulled the trigger and the bullet easily flew from the silenced LRSR and hit the man in the head, killing him instantly. Davis was a remarked sharp shooter, being in the now defunct special operations group; H.E.R.O, Highly Engaging Resilient Operators. Davis picked up his LRSR and started to run towards the evac zone where he would use a boat to get out of Asia. As soon as Davis was at the evac zone he found a Helicopter.

"John Davis?" The military soldier stepped out of the helicopter, walked up to Davis, said. Davis then nodded.

"What in god's bloody name do you want?" Davis asked.

"You're back on duty," The soldier said. "You're going to be signed to Johnson K. Darkly."

"That S.O.B?" Davis asked. "My god, I fucking retired! I'm not going back to serve the military!"

"It's either that or go to jail for killing guilty men without order of the Military, sir," Davis then looked at the soldier and sighed. Davis got into the helicopter and waited for it to take him to Johnson.

"Acknowledged." Johnson said to Nicias, he then turned to Noah. "At ease. Now come'on. We've gotta go brief the new blood. Nord knows they'll need it to face those monsters." Johnson told Noah, making his way down to the landed craft. "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to fort wraithwall. As you may may noticed on the flight in, this fort stands straight on the edge of the event barrens. We are the first and last line of defense against those voidspawn creatures rising up from the barrens. It's been rough, but as you can see, we've managed to reclaim enough land to build this landing zone. With your aid, we'll push farther, until we reach ground zero of the event. Like sherman's march to the sea, we'll slowly carve a path to the core of the enemy force and destroy them where they live." Johnson said, giving a short and broad briefing of the basic plan to the new troops.

Nicholas stood by the officers who listened to the colonel's words and when he was done, the sniper slowly approached the man. "Excuse me.. May I have a word wit you Colonel?" The sniper asked shifting the rifle on his back. Compared to the others his patch displayed a more higher rank then any of the arrivals from his department which gave him a few responsibilities.

[Nicias Askani]

Nicias did one more high Run and one more low run before returning to base. i high run is a perimeter sweep at high altitude and a low run altitude sweep is a low sweep 30 miles out. with that done he spiraled back to the base. banking round and round untill he came to the landing strip and landed his craft.
