Here is a bit I came up with.
Fresh off the production line with a spark of life. No time to collect my thought an AR is promptly thrust into my awaitting hands. Only one command, "Kill or be killed". Those words still ring in my head. Unexpectedly the whole history of my minmatar ancestors fills my thoughts. The pain in unbearable. The words are all that is clear, "Killed or be killed"
It all starts as you would expect for a new clone. Wandering the lands taking any type of work that comes your way. Luckily it didn't take long to meet a group of mercenaries that were willing to take me under their wing. It take long before I learn the way of war. My life had purpose I was part of something bigger. These mercenaries were more than that they became my "brothers". Let's fast forward to the event that changed all that.
Beastioden was under attack. We just received conformation on the enemy's location. Waiting in the WarBarge for our final orders there was an unearthly silence lingering. As I looked down upon this planet I called home, a though occurred to me. Why are we at War? The enemy corporation has plenty could there be more to this War than land and politics??? "Squad One Orders!". The FC interrupted my philosophical pondering. "You are to secure and defend the bridge. Codenamed Alpha". "Confirmed?" "Confirmed!" My unit shouted in unison. "The MCC link has been established, Move Out"
My unit made it to "Alpha". "Clear" "Lets get the hack and set up our defensive perimeter" And we waited. The echo of shots and screams of death soon polluted the air. Another squad just got ambushed, we heard it all over our comms. Fighting off that instinct to go help I stood my ground orders are orders. It didn't take long, "Our scanners picked up HAV with infantry support incoming from the South" "Get ready" There was a percilar stillness while we wait for the enemy to close those few remaining meters into our KillZone. "Grenades everone lookout" Nades rained down all around my unit dust a debris soon littered the air. There is a burning sensation from my leg, sure there was some sharpnal involved. "Return Volley" our Lead cried out. It was our turn to make it rain and boy did we ever. Once the smoke settled it was clear we had defended. The scrap metal of HAV was all that was left. Through my comms I heard prays? The Lead had been gunned down in our defense. As I reached him I could see the damage was bad. Shot clean though at least it is recoverable. "Hold tight, this is going to sting a bit" As I stabbed the nanite injector into his leg he let out a bestial blood curling howl. Couldn't let that faze me as I got to work patching up the suit. He thanked me as he stood to address the squad. All gathered around as I made minor repairs. "I am glad to call you my brothers, for today we have proved Victor.."*Vrooouuuum* "**** ORBITAL!!!!"
Selfish I was for self preservation is the cause. I ran. Under the bridge to take cover dropped into the fetal position and closed my eyes. As quick as it came it was over. Left alone on the battlefield. Searching for survivors. Chuncks of the planet have been moved clone appenages spwed through the horrid wreckage. Something caught my eye. It wasn't a piece of equipment or part of my comrades. It didn't belong here. Not in a war zone. Curious I picked up this ancient Ammardian text. Unfamiliar to me it looked to be of importance. Could this be what the War was all about?
I pocketed the text that day. Walked away from my brothers to be on my own. I couldn't be the cause of more sacrifice. Start my own brotherhood. Yet this secret must be kept from them. |
