Building an orphanage is not a whim of Arc, in fact, he long plans on building one but didn't find the right time to do it as it needs a lot of manpower because he didn't plan on building a normal orphanage but a small training center for kids.
And he plans to have Shadow Units managing each orphanage it will serve as a recruitment area, and as a base for Shadow Units who are doing mission in the area.
Normally with a humanities fertility problem, they will tend to care about all children, but in reality, it's all about numbers the government will rather spend money on clones than the welfare of the orphans who need a large amount of resource to raise, of course, they didn't completely abandon them they have to save face, after all.
So they still fund a small number of orphanage around their territories but it's not exactly paradise for children many left the moment they think they can survive on their own, as many people who managed those orphanages tend to take advantage of those children and to some children it is a living hell. So many escapes as soon as they have a chance.
Arc plans to change all that, as he understands being no parents around, he was lucky as he was already an adult when his parent's accident happen if not he and his sisters will be at the mercy of the orphanage.
So Arc plans to give those children a second chance to make a life on their own. those that he couldn't turn to soldiers he plans to educate them and have them work for Grand Trading, as he will need a huge amount of manpower in the future.
Even though he can build a cloning factory in the future he didn't know the number of resources it needs to make a clone, and he didn't think the cloning factory will be enough to supply him with the manpower he needs in the future.
So he only intends to create clones that can help him in critical positions.
Arc was conversing with Eve regarding the Orphanage plans as well as waiting for news from Tom, regarding the takeover of Enigma City.
"Boss I already found candidates for our future Orphanages are we going to implement it right away?"
"Sure why not, better to act now than later, send Shadow Units or even Tiffa if needed to acquire those orphanages as soon as possible. Let's start around UG first, let's name our training center for orphans, Tomorrow Orphanage. I think it's a good name even though he sucked at naming things." Said Arc.
"Boss, I think the words suck at naming things is an understatement, you almost name Cosmos as Poopy." Said Eve.
"Cough, cough haha I still think it's a good name for that dog haha. Said Arc laughing.
Eve...
"Ehem, Anyways what's the news on Enigma?"
-----------------------------------------------------
"Sir the western part around the wall is already under our control."
"Good create a temporary relief base on it. Give me a report on the southern area!." Said Tom.
"Sir, Captain Biggs, and his company are slowed down by many traps and bombs planted in the area, so they are taking it slowly and disarming the traps and bomb as they move."
"I see, and the eastern?"
"Sir the mobs there are quite problematic their number is increasing in an unprecedented state and what worse is many of them are under the influence of drugs."
"Send two hives there to support them I don't care about the casualties those criminals already made their choices. I won't risk the lives of my men to pacify them. Order them to take lethal actions I don't care if they kill them all!" Said Tom with the bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
"Yes, sir."
Wedge heard the orders and laughed." Good about time these people are starting to annoy me, lieutenant gives the order to open fire, let's show these people we didn't come here to play around."
The lieutenant gave a bloodthirsty smile and said. "Right away sir"
"Alright, Everyone open fire kill these bastards"
A second later continues gunshot and artillery cannon drowned the mobs...
"Fuck these bastards" Jack smiles disappeared when he heard the artillery, and continues gunshot from the enemies, he thought he can use human shields to slow or deterred the invaders at first the invaders really make a defensive stance and it increased the mob confidence and starting to taunt them now they are paying for it. Boom!
Artillery shell land near him blowing the more than 50 of his men to mincemeat blood and gore splash into his body and face, Jack immediately puke.
"Retreat!" Jack immediately ordered a retreat, but he didn't have to say it the mobs already awaken from their delusions and started running in all directions screaming and crying some immediately pass out from shock even with drugs in their system they still couldn't handle the shock. Of course, some are in trance and started to fight harder their cries were drowned by the sound of artillery and gunshot.
It was chaos the injured mob was trampled to death by fleeing mobs many throw away their weapons and started running away but ends up being knocked down by the mobs and was trampled to death.
The death toll is enormous the front-line soldiers were shocked. Even with training, they weren't prepared for the scene before them. Many of them stop firing and just allow the mobs to disperse some of them have pale faces and wanted to puke but manage to control it. Wedge didn't reprimand them for stop firing Unfortunately, the artillery didn't receive an order to stop, so they continue to fire adding more chaos to the mobs.
"Bring the flame throwers and burn all these bodies" ordered Wedge.
"Yes, Sir."
Tom received the report but didn't say anything and no emotions can be seen in his eyes.
Estimated mob casualties 200k.
Wedge looks at scenes in front of him it's like a scene from hell broken limbs and scattered meat and dead bodies are scattered all around him. "Good thing Big Boss can't see these" he mumbles.
"Burn it! Burn it all don't leave any trace he ordered the guys in flamethrowers, the rest move out our job is just beginning" Wedge ordered with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
