It has been A few years... Now Alexander is Now 21 the Commander Legitimize by the Terran Federation... He looks at the System Countdown for the Start of the War....
Extra Objectives.... Save Cast Members Parents or Let the Bug Rock Fall? Rewards: ???> Pondering such Issues.... Whether to Save Rico and his Friends Parents or let this play out? Saving Rico parents would Make Rico quit the Mobile Infantry... But Letting them Die and Make Rico the Same Avenger he knew? After that single moment spending time with them... Difficult Choices... As he Stood On the Ark Mechanicus "Armageddon" Bridge Watching his Fleet Being Resupplied, Pondering Such actions, This Would Make Him a Asshole, But Saving them... It would Make Rico Owned him a favor... As well the other Crew.... If He save them... After Receiving reports and the Location that Were Obtained from Intelligence, that there was the Last Pirate Bastion in his Vicinity... He agreed with the orders... And Commanded the Ship to ready their Voyage into the Warp, and a Purple Rift was Opened and Swallowed the Fleet Whole, and Reality Closed behind them as if the fleet never Existed from this reality... Pirate Base "Debris Bay"... Near the Arachnid Qurantine Zone Pirate Captain Maitland 'Cutthroat' Springfield... He did Not Have a Good Day in his throne, A Fleet Appeared in Terran Space and it abides no rules of the Federation that he knows... Almost Everyone in his line of Trade has been Confirmed Destroyed and their Bounties Taken off the from FedNet, while the remaining went into Hiding, "Winged Skulls" Were the Only description of the Fleet Symbols and they did not use a FTL drives, and thus unable to be detected by their Radars... As if they were Ghost fleet always causing havoc and disappearing after the work is done... There were survivors, However.... "Get Me Out of here!! I rather Stopped being A Pirate, I want to be A Farmer again..." Sobbed a Survivor... As he Cradled Back and Forth kneeling on the chair... "Tell me, What happen to Booty Cove? Speak to me!? Or else I throw you into the Airlock!" As the interrogator is getting Nowhere in his questioning... The Person soon stop Sobbing, turning his Wails into fits of Deranged Lunacy... "Fine, I Tell you What happen there... Booty Cove was Attacked, I was the Observer... Waiting for the Supply Ship to Arrive and to deliver supplies, But Instead "It" Came..." "What is it? Tell me!" "A Ship... That is Beyond my Eyes Could See... Appear Suddenly, at Booty Cove and Opened Fire at us!! We Fought Back, But It was Covered by a Wrapping of a Shield that Stopped our Shells...It was Meaningless, And It Launch Torpedoes..." "Torpedoes? In this era!? we are not living in the Ocean?" As the Interrogator was Beginning to be Skeptical of him "Torpedoes I tell ya!! I could have Sworn to God, that they were Singing, and when it hit... No Explosion Could be heard... when I realize what were Happening, The Torpedoes Opened Up and Men In Armor Flooded the Base, We used the weapons that we bought from the Black Market Last Month... they didn't even Flinched... And our Shots were Repelled by the Same Shield that was similar to that ship, They Murdered us till ten of Us are Left... It's Meaningless I tell ya, Meaningless!!" "I highly doubt of your Stories, A singing Torpedoes? Men in Shields? How did you Managed to escape?" "Because their Cap't told me.. "That we won the Lottery of the year"... and we were left alive to tell our tale...Where the Fookin Hell am I?" As if the Survivor Gain a bit of Clarity.... "We are at Debris Bay, Somehow Most of the Pirates group around us Went Radio Silent.." The Interrogator Give a bit of truth was Grabbed By the Survivor by the Collar... As his Eyes Feverishly went from Sane to The Total Brink of insanity ... "We are all Gonna Die!!! He is Coming here!!!" As if His Words are Screaming Reflecting From his Very Soul only for the Interrogator to put him out of Misery by shooting him in the head... Radar Post As a Radar Operator has its Perks, You get a Part of the Booty as long as you kept your Eyes Open and Alert the Base of a Attack, and Lately Due to Communications Lost of the Pirate groups in the Vicinity, The Captain Decided to Increase Patrols and 24 Hours, to the much of Displeasure of the Crew, they Agreed... And one Such Person is Disgruntled, By the Fact That he is Staring at the Radar Screen for 2 Bloody Weeks, No Booze, NO Broad to Keep his Company warm... When he Received a IFF Tag of his Group Supply Fleet now finished Raiding Supplies from a Federation Supply Depot... He is getting more Upset.... Suddenly... The Fleet IFF Tags Disappeared... Thinking it was another Prank by the Captain of the supply fleet, that did that Stunt by Shutting Off His IFF tags Last Month to Diss Him... He Ignored it...Not Knowing that his Negligence was his Downfall... *BOOM* An Explosion was Heard and Shook the Entire Base He Stared at the Screen in Extreme Vigilance, but it isn't Picking Up any Signatures... And the Supply Fleet? While he Does Worry About the Fleet, he has More important Things to Do... More and More Explosions can be heard in the Distance and still no Signatures of the enemy... His Leader Came in and Dragged Him out And Smashed his Face in the Closest Porthole that face outside... "What In God Tarnation YOU ARE DOING!! AND THE ENEMY IS ALREADY HERE AND YOU DID NOT INFORMED ME!!!" The Captain was Screeching, the Radar Operator was Confused By this Outrage... He Saw a Fleet of Giant Ships that was not in the Radar Vicinity Appeared, As He Stuttered to Give Out an Answer, The Fleet Opened Fire and Launched Attack crafts and Damage the Base Further, the Captain was disgusted by his Incompetent Crew and Dump him on the Floor and went Somewhere to Rally the rest of his men to Fight... The Base Was Rocked by the Explosion Harder Than ever, and more head aching news that the Hangar That Housed the Attack Crafts Collapsed under fire barrages... then it Stopped... A Sigh of Relief of the Surviving Men, thinking that the Ships Were a Bluff and Ran out of Ammunition... There was a Song humming... A song that is filled with Vengeance with the Wrath of the Victims they Committed in Space... Roaring in the Void as If, Space itself opened up to Lament the Fate of the Fools that defy the Avenger... When it Ended... Shockwaves Rumbled throughout the already Fragile Base that is threatening to break apart as if the Climax of the Song has Ended... Small arms Gunfire was heard in the Base, And Screams and begging was heard throughout the Base. Captain Maitland Gathered all the surviving men in his Vicinity and headed to the Armory to get more Heavier Weaponry... they were stopped by a Group Of Masked Men wearing Green Colored Armor and Having "Winged Skulls" Attached on their Helmets Aimed Their Guns at them... Though his Group has Weapons, most of them was pistols that were not Capable to puncture their Armor that their Foes are wearing, and thinking surrendering was the Better Option, they didn't know what they have chosen is the wrong answer... As They Lined Up Kneeling Down in a line in the Now Fixed hangar, guarded by these men stood still with their fingers still on the Trigger... A Craft enter the Hangar and a 20ish old Redheaded Man and a Red Hooded Figure stepped out of it walking down as if they are heading to a normal day in the park, as if they are not walking on a battlefield that is drenched in pirates' blood... "Magos, are these people here are all Accounted for?" "Yes, Commander these are the men are found "Alive" and suitable for Servitors Program... Requesting Permission?" "Permission Granted, May your work be Blessed by the Omnissiah..." This was the Last Moment the Captain Maitland Regretted his choice of not barging through the squad and headed in the armory, as he was the First Man of his crew to be made into a Servitor and the Only Identity was his Pirate Hat now Nailed in his skull, Now forever serves as the former pirate base staff, now refurbished and being modified as a Supply and Maintenance Base... Along with other pirates bases that Alexander "destroyed" as either a secret dockyards for Destroyers and Corvettes, Hydroponics or Base such as this ran by Servitors of the Pirates they Kept "alive" now Serve the Interest of MARs, While the Pirates that are dead are turned into Skull Probes and the Captains that defy the fleet became a Trophy Skulls that were bleached and their Names and Date of death is Laser Printed in the Skulls as a Reminder of Alexander Journey... Communication Room Alexander Is Calling his Family "Hello Dad, How are you and Mom? It's been a Month I managed to Contact you both... I wonder... How are My Siblings Marcus and Charlotte? I miss you Four.." "Son.. Me and Mom is doing well, and your Siblings are doing fine, and are asking me that I ask that when you come home... But I hoped that you could spend more time talking to us... But I know the Duty and the Burden you Carry; I know that i could very little from where I am Standing. We Always Loved you Son..." "I Loved you too Dad... Say Dad Please Remind Mom that I am Missing Her Apple Pie and please send it to the M.A.Rs Office in the capital... they will send it Post haste...I will return there is fast as possible..." "I will, Son Take Care..." M.A.R HQ Office Mars... Joseph Pov Ah here it is, better Give my Wife Pie to My son....Hmm, Why is the Officer Scared when Receiving my Son Signature Box? Why are they Placing it in the Cube looking thing? Where did it Go? Oh, the Package has been Sent? Okay thanks for your service... Meanwhile.... Alexander Pov Armageddon Office I wanted to Ask Why the FRAK is My Parent Package Became a Literally A Bread Monster?! Huh? Teleported it Multiple Times?! Didn't the Mechanicum said Only "Once" because it would change into something worse!? I said Post Haste, Not Instantaneous!? As Alexander Is Screaming at the Vox Comms as the Caller is Profusely Apologizing for the Mishap As Alexander Is Fighting for dear his Life against a Monster that was Once His Mother Pie now turned into a 13 Foot tall sprouting Tentacles abomination of a Pie, and Mouths Gaping around the crust as it kept on begging to Kill it, while trying to kill Alexander as the tentacles Turned into Drills Trying to Stab Alexander, He manages to get a Emergency Flamer from the Weapons Shelf and Burn the Monster Pie to Charred Black as it kept on Saying thanks to the one that killed it does not make good taste in his mouth, Now Homesick and Missing his Pie... He Sighed... Time to make a Decision. As he forgive the sender and went to a corridor... Rico and his Friends on the other hand was Just Finishing Their oath to the Federation and Headed to the Same Recruiter That Alex met few years Ago... It went On Like the Original scene... But One Key Difference... As Carl and Ibanez Chosen their Occupation and left outside Waiting for their friend, Rico Noticed that the Legs of the Recruiter Missing and Have a nearly Lifelike Prosthetics Legs neatly place nearby where he sat... The Recruiter Notice his looked at him and Smiled... "Notice My new prosthetic leg? it was given by a recruit years Ago... Shame he Didn't Make it as a Sky Marshall... " "Who is it?" "Alexander Solair, Kinda Sad, he Didn't make it to the Sky Marshall Candidate, but he was doing Gods Work Making Humanity safe.." Making Rico Remembered that Blunt redheaded Martian years ago. "I heard he was the Pirate Bane and Had No Losses in the fight he participated... He kept the trade Lanes opened...And Supplied the Colonies that needed the help of the Federation..." "I heard that report and Good Riddance on those Pirates, right If he was a Sky Marshall, he would be doing much more, but that all I know about in my Position, Perhaps Someday You Will Manage to Meet Him. And Welcome Aboard to the Mobile Infantry and it make me the man i am today...And if you are Beyond where I am, you could enroll in the M.A.Rs" As the Recruiter Held out his hand... After Rico Left the Office Grinning... His Friends approached him... "Rico Why you Smiling." "Remember Alexander Solair the Redhead Martian From our Childhood? He Was here Recruited by the Same Guy that done our paperwork..." "Wow, Recruited by the same person that is the head of a Prestige Branch? We sure are Blessed.." "Hey Guys Let's Make a Vow, no matter what we always be friends..." "I will go for that." Rico still unaware the meaning of Ibanez words "Well...Chances are we will never see each other again; We Will be Millions of Light years Apart...Sure Why not?" "Well, there always a Chance, you will meet each other Again, and Make that 4 of us, Hello Rico, Carmen and Carl How's Life?" As an Older Alexander Approached them in Officer Uniform that bears an Aquila on his Chest and a Winged Skull in his Officer Cap "Sir..." "I keep telling you Rico, If you keep calling me Sir, I will Called you "Sonny" How are your day Guys? And Which Branch you are Going?" "Rico going Mobile Infantry and Carmen Fleet Command and I am in Military Intelligence." "Wow, You Sure Make it Big Carl... Congratulations on your entrance..." "Thanks" "And Rico Please don't screw it up...Remember of the Items I gave you when we first met? It will have 3 favors each and you can call in my Support, but if it is absurd like Carl wants to check the minds of my troopers or abusing my authority would invalidate that Favor, and it shows how much I have my Trust in all of you.." "Hey! That Rude of Using me as an Example, But thanks anyway and how's your day Alex?" "Doing Fine, Managed to Eliminate the Last of the Pirates Holdouts near the Klendathu quarantine Border, Visited my Family and Meeting you Three... I will spend a couple of days here perhaps i will be here to send you a proper farewell..." "I Appreciate that concern but Welcome Back..." "Thanks Rico..." Rico Pov: Who will have thought that I meet the Redhead Alexander again... As I Prepared my belongings to join in the Mobile infantry, I remembered the Knife he gave to me all those years ago... I opened the Box I kept, Almost Forgotten about it... Still Gleaming as if Time Didn't Turn it into Rust and still sharp as well it still bears the Symbol of the Omega and the Symbol of Mars... I better keep it and the toy after all these years it has been a Chatty Fellow and gave me Sound advice, Heh I Managed to Beat Xander, had I am so hotheaded at that match perhaps I lose..., well I Could bring with me... I better Accompany Carmen with Carl to the Spaceport Tomorow... Possibly I will pass the Training and I will Join M.A.Rs, Perhaps Carmen Will Look at me... Carmen Pov: Martian Boy made it big...I wonder if I could make it to the Space fleet of his organization.... As she looks at the Two Posters... One Depicting the Fleet Academy and the M.A.Rs Space Fleet Poster showing A Luna Class Ship Facing sideways as it aims towards the stars as a Squadron of Marauder Bombers and Valkyries are accompanied it as it Shows the Benefits of Joining... Perhaps Rico will join there too... I sighed as I faded my Problems from my mind, as if my hands were not my own... I held up the Necklace and the Doll that Rico Bought for me... I smiled at the Doll that has been with me for so many years... And Perhaps I will Bring Her To bring me Luck Carl Pov: Wow such a important Item entrusted to me, by the leader of MARs? Things kept getting Crazier and this day more exciting as the time I received the papers that I am a Candidate in Games & Theory... I looked at the Commissar Doll that stood Upright that was on his desk, it did teach me all the Officer Etiquette and he manage help me to ace the scores of Social Etiquette... I better Bring Him with me for advice... and the Bracelet, I could use a few favors with Alex... A Car? Oh... Let Me call My friends... I only have Three Minutes? Okay... Rico... I am Unable to Come with you... to See Carmen off... Sorry I understand... SpacePort Alexander was waiting in front of the Spaceport And Saw the Two Lovebirds walking along, He noticed that Carl wasn't around... Upon asking Rico where his friend went... He was informed that he left early... Saddened that he couldn't troll Rico with Carl, He stood Silent as the Two Said Goodbye and after Carmen Left.... Rico Stood Still on the Platform... "Hey... Alex.... You said that we are sure to meet Again?" After a while Rico Spoke... "Of course... Well if Other people meeting me is like Chasing the Ghost, especially the Media, But I am still here Meeting you Guys after all I could be Somewhere far away... and you couldn't have met me... But we met Before..., so what's chances they will meet again not be so far off? The Toys I gave you when you were young... Those are very special Toys... No matter where you are... They always know that you are alive..." "You sure done Spooky stuff Alex" "Nah, I Just Fought my Mom Pie that became a 13 Foot Monster Just a while ago..." "You Serious?" "I may be Fun and Games, But Pie Monster are a serious Business Especially When a Certain Someone Kept Teleporting Bread for 3 Consecutive days to reach to me as a prank..." "You can teleport? How is that Possible?" "Not Yet, But we are working Out the Bugs and It is still... Unstable..." Alexander Remembered one of the TechPriests Had a "Great Idea" Of Teleporting Bread for a Number of Consecutive Days Using the Imperium Teleporter as a Template.... "The Great Bread war" Was Unleashed at the Bottom of Zero Base, as Monsters That was made of Pies fought against the Monster Sliced Bread with his Troops in the Crossfire, It was Successfully Quelled and no Casualties aside from the Pastries and the TechPriest that started the Bread Wars was Punished of Not Even Able to Buy Materials for a Month, Which to much to his dismay... Given the circumstances, they Made Rules and Guidelines for Not Teleporting Bread... And Only Use Inmates as Test Subjects.... Which Sped Up the Perfection of the teleporters while lessened the Power usage...But It's Still Unstable for Long-Range use... While it has been Clarified that If the Gellar Field device is attached to a Cargo it would not induced any Abnormalities... But without it... Well The Cargo Spouted Eyes, Tentacles, Horns and in some cases Semblance of Intelligence... and some case Scenario, good Abnormalities, One Cargo that contains Smoked Meat Became abnormality... A Batch of Indestructible Bacon Was Born... Now It being used as a Interrogation Tool... And used as a Slapping stick and a Torment Tool for those that is Food deprived Inmates... And a Soup stock that never loses its Flavor, A very Effective but simple tool... Though most of the Abnormalities Tools are Regulated and those that are deemed safe went to the Federation Scientists as a Trolling Item, As it defies Logic and Physics... and Made some of the Scientists went mad, Until the Federation Put a Restraining Order of not sending them the Anomaly Items... Though Rumors persist they are still doing it Under the Table... "So are you ready? To Join the Mobile Infantry Rico?" "Ready as I ever been..." "A piece of advice Rico... If you Managed to Pass the Mobile Infantry, You get to Meet Carmen in My Organization, It's a Combination of Mobile Infantry and the Fleet Command... No Doubt She would be there.. And I Could use a good Trooper like you Rico..." "Thanks For the Heads Up Alex..." "My Pleasure to see you entered the Mobile Infantry... Even though you did it For Carmen" *Coug cough* "How Did you .." "Know? Carl told me about it, So don't Blame him... I just Ask and he Provides the answer...So be prepared Trooper and Make sure you are vigilant, No matter how high you reach in Boot Camp, if you Sacrifice others what make you Human is Bleak, I better go Now My Planet Needs me ..." Alexander Left the Spaceport as Rico Ponder the Choices he will make... He Smiled at the Opportunity That Alexander given him to meet with Carmen... ____________________________________________ Author here Just Brain Drained by my Studies and As much as I like to Make it Daily, I am Unable to do so .. I believe that there is no Warp Gods in Starship troopers, because there is No War In Heaven of Edgy, No Space Elves that Started a Era Of Debauchery to the point they birth a Slaanesh and the Warp has only Miniscule Beings that exists... and They Could Mingle with Teleporters as Much as they would like without the fear of a Warp Excursion to their realm yeah Demon Horde just sprang forth? nope... and it being Modified to Mass drop a Company without the Costly Air landings. And Warhammer40 Imperial Ships are pretty OP since they are literally Journeying through Hell and they couldn't be detected by normal Radar scans... While they claim that The Other Sci-fi Nation can Stomp them, Wake up and Find a Entire Fleet to appear out of nowhere as they Unleashed their arsenal of Torpedoes
