0000 hrs October 13, 2142

the constant beeping on John Doe headphones makes him Recover consciousness. the only thing he was able to see trough his broken blood tinted visor was the moon in a red color.
the UI was still on showing him that was 0000 hrs, October 13, 2142. he tried to stand up but the pain from his back and his head were too much to bear with, he tried to move away from the vehicle with great effort, the car was still fire, he was able to move couple meters feeling the pain each time he moved. the heads up display were showing some broken bones, shrapnel damage and a strong head concussion. after few minutes trying to use his radio, with no luck. he decides to turn it off with the constant beeping. after that, he blacks out and loses consciousness again. without knowing that someone was watching him from a building top.

[???]: looks like he still alive, weird.  I thought the shock and blood loss should be taken care of him by now. (* she said while aiming him with her  scoped FN FAL rifle).
I'll better go down to investigate. I haven't see the helicopter for a while now.   for sure that armored vehicle has something of importance to being followed by a helicopter and struck down by it. 
I'll better take a little-pick-me-up if there is something dangerous down there. (* she put a refitted gas mask with 2 vials of a different color. after some second her eyes start to glow on a dim yellow color after she felt the high  she proceeds to remove the gas mask).

(after  some minutes  she was able to  reach the struck down vehicle and  John Doe ).

[???]:  let's see the vehicle is on fire, nothing I can salvage from it. well, this guy is knocked out. quite a bloodshed,  he still alive. his patch is from surcor .  maybe they pay me something for bringing back this operative after all the order sends a helicopter to try to kill him so, I think he has something of value.   (* she said  while inspecting John Doe  and after that precedes to carry him).
god damn, how much do this equipment weight?   it will be a while until I get back to the town so better start walking.

(after some hours walking she was able to reach medical assistance on the sub-city).

[???]: Hey doc, i have  a new patient for you...♫

[doc]: how manny times I need to tell you not to call me like that.... oh dear. he even still alive?

[???]: for what I can feel, he still breathing but he is lights out and bleeding like crazy too.   

[doc]: bed..., Ok  first we need to put him on a bed, follow me,  I have an empty room over here 

(the doctor helps to put John Doe on what's look like to be a repurpose bed to serve as a hospital one )

[doc]: this is quite a bloody mess. (* said while putting  a pair of clean rubber gloves on his hands ).
first, we need to remove all these things that were armor and remove this uniform and the thing of bellow that looks like a diving suit, the same thing with that broken face mask.

(after some seconds both were able to remove all john doe equipment )

[doc]: I won't go to ask but why we have a surcor operative here?.

[???]: he got struck down by an order helicopter I had to stalk him for some hours from the roofs.

[doc]: dear, they got him good. (*said while administrating a blood unit).
i see you still use those military drugs. you know they have some side effects, don't you ?.

[???]: while they still tasting like strawberries I will keep using them when I need them.

[doc]: that's your pick,  while on that will you kindly pass me the morphine and adrenaline?

[???]: yea here go.

(after a long procedure the medic was able to remove  108 fragments of shrapnel from all his body  most of them weren't fully inside the body because the body glove was able to slow them down  but no fully  the medic also notices the severe contusion on the back of John Doe head and  some  broken bones   luckily  he didn't have  any interior hemorrhage.  his face had nothing serious just minor cuts. the doctor was successful to save his life but John Doe was rendered into a coma ).


[doc]: It's done he is alive but I think he will be sleeping for quite a while.

[???]: wha.. what? (* she muttered while waking up ).

[doc]: he won't be up for quite a time.  luckily he won't need life support but you will be the one to maintain him alive after all you were the one that brought him here. Just put  2 brown serums and 3 blue ones and yes you will be the one to clean him up at least once a day and that.  if he doesn't wake up in a week we need to start muscle massage with CPM therapy and ems to maintain his muscle mass and prevent bed sores. if there is something else that happens or he wakes up you call me up ok ?.... i need to rest some. and close the door on this room we can't let people know we have a surcor operative here. you take the shift on the front if there is something of urgency, you know i will be in my chamber. (* said while finishing up his cigarette).

[???]: well this will be fun.

chapter 0, Into The Howling Dark, part 2
by spartan4230

[Nadia]: we are all set up!. all this sector is going to blow up and anyone inside it. we better get going now

[john doe]: then make sure you don't forget something I heard something upstairs and I don't think is the friendly type of noise (*said while racking his pistol)
looks like the stairs are not a viable option now. 

(doing as little sound as possible they try to get to the elevator at the opposite side of the corridor)

[Nadia]: are you sure the elevators still working? (* asking with a worried voice)

[john doe]: anything is better than a gun fight down here (*responds while trying to the elevator)
no point in doing it looks like the controls are disabled. come here help me opening the door maybe we get a shot on the maintenance stairs.

[Nadia]: ok, let's do this

(after some second of trying  force the door open they succeed only to see how an elevator was going down full with was seems order soldiers )

[john doe]: shit that more soldier that I was counting for (*said while looking into the abyss from the open door)

[Nadia]: watch out! (* scream while taking cover)

(a group of order soldiers storms from upstairs,  before they had a chance to start shooting john doe was already opening fire towards them leaving the members of the group dead or highly injured. 
 but one of the order soldiers threw a grenade as a last ditch effort)

[john doe]: grenade! (* scream while throwing himself to cover besides Nadia)

(the grenade explodes and part of the ceiling collapses, most of the corridor is covered in blood splatters and dust )

[Nadia]: a-are you ok? (*asked worriedly )

[john doe]: my display don't show any damage on my body just dust everywhere, so yeah I will be ok (*said while dusting himself off )

[Nadia]: so now what we gonna do there might be more order soldiers coming for us 

[john doe]: we follow the plan, we should use the maintenance stairs of what used to be the elevator 


( John Doe Run towards the elevator door and jumps barely gripping to the ladder, after making sure he is hanging solid on the metal ladder he send a signal to Nadia )

[Nadia]: are you sure about this?

[john doe]: is the best shot we have right now, let's go 

[Nadia]: ok (*after that, she runs full speed and jumps to john doe )

(John Doe catch her with one hand and let her grip on the ladder bellow him )

[john doe]: everything's good down there?

[Nadia]: could be better but I don't complain about looking your ass

[john doe]: very funny

(after some talking and climbing up the ladder to the first level the artillery shells were now noticeable and the shell shock feeling on your bones like needles. the surface was not better than the corridor splatter with blood. the area was filled with surcor destroyed buildings and dead soldiers, security personnel fighting against order soldiers on top of the ashes. the evacuation vehicles were on the hangar waiting for the last wave of survivors)

[john doe]: well, we close. better start running ill try to make some cover for us (*said while picking up an assault rifle)
(* using the radio on his facemask, John Doe here, repeat john doe here. I have a robotic scientist coming to evacuation point requesting cover fire, repeat requesting cover fire.

[???]: hearing you strong and clear doe , we have our hands full right now , go behind the buildings is the safest path to the extraction point, we have some operatives on the path i let them know you are coming (* said a strong but soft female voice, her rank was not stated but her tone indicated she was a higher rank )

[john doe]: ok. we don't have support fire but a security team is there. better start running.

[Nadia]: ok. I'll be behind you 

(they start running to the back of the closest building leading to the hangar, the security tram was giving as much as fire cover as they were able to do ) 

[squat leader]: ok we were waiting for you two the scientist will go with the not combatant on that APC over there and you will stay here with us we need to cover the convoy 

[Nadia]: ill see you on the main base (*said while hugging john doe ) 

[john doe]: ill see you too (* said while hugging her back) 

(the security team load Nadia  on the APC and some seconds later it drives with the rest of the convoy John doe and the security team are loaded on a light armored car following up the convoy, john doe takes the top machine gun) 


[john doe]: ok we are going out of the clear zone activate the filters if you don't want some radioactive dust (*said while checking his filtration system )

[squat leader]: we would be there on no time boys just couple hours and we got there 

[secutity member1]: i think is strange that they are not following us 

[security member2]: that's true they hadn't followed us from the base, this give me a bad feeling 

[squat leader]: the order got scary for sure they can stand against surcor 

[john doe]: I don't think so (said while spotting an order attack helicopter )

(the squad leader gives the order to the convoy to disperse and all the support vehicles to stay on alert, John doe load and rack the machine gun looking as how the helicopter was coming for them )

[john doe]: shit. we are going to get hit if this piece of shit can't go faster (*said while exchanging fire with the helicopter )

[squat leader]: good dammit (*said while looking how the driver gets kill by a zipping bullet, the front glass was was cover by his blood and guts )
Fuck, don't give up on me (*said while taking the steering wheel)

(the car starts moving erratically side to side of the road, john doe tries its best to shoot down the helicopter but no effect on it. the helicopter was heavily armored )

[john doe]: we better get it lose because I can't even dent it whit this (*said while reloading the machine gun as fast as he can )

[squat leader]: that bridge I'll try to go over that bridge. there is a tunnel on the other side 

(when the car gets to the bridge its shut down with the car on it one of the missiles hit the back of the armored vehicle john doe falls from the top machine gun as he sees how the car falls while is igniting on flames, he can hear the screams of his comrades and the sound of bullets zipping by. one of the thoughts John doe have before touching the floor is if Nadia survived or if he will survive that fall, he heard how the car crashes on the ground bellow him but the screaming persist, John Doe hits the floor back and head first to the ground he gets unconscious by the impact only hearing screams and bullets , one of the last thinks he sees is the helicopter retreating after that everything went black. it was the calling from the howling dark).

[john_doe]: how much time had been since they had called all the security department this early?. (*said to himself while drying his face ) I don't know,  but we had been under the "order" offensive quite while now. I'm sure is nothing serious, maybe some other team needs support or just another recount of personnel. (* said to himself in in a low monotone) anyways, ill better be there to make sure I am not missing anything important. I hope Nadia is there, its had been 3 days since I last saw her. it looks like they are making something new in the robotics department, maybe a new exoskeleton? or just some new upgrades?. it has been almost 3 months since the last update of my helmet heads-up-display  and ui  (*said while changing into the combat uniform and looking at his digital face mask with some scratches but mostly pristine new) anyways, nothing can change the quality of the  recon V.1 , maybe is not a complete but  helmet but is good enough for long missions and incursions. I'll better keep going before I keep talking to myself.(*he closes his locker and puts his sealed balaclava and over it his face mask. after a quick glance, he did recognize himself again, he wasn't the middle-aged gray wolf anymore, he was just a soldier, no emotion or expressions. after that, though he left his room and went to the main area ).  


on the main area, there was  just a screen this time  to flash on red letters  and a robotic monotone-like voice repeating the same words over and over "to all staff, this is not a simulation  hostile military personnel sighted at the edges of the  "clear zone"  more than  2000 strong, evacuation plan  initiated . to all security staff  escort and protect all non-armed personnel  until the convoy arrives at 0545. I repeat this is not a simulation "

(at this time all alarms were on and all speakers repeating the same monotone message)
(john doe only desire was to find Nadia  before all the groups broke apart)


[john_doe]: where is she? all the people are going to the designated hangar to get the evacuation convoy. (*said to himself with somewhat of a worry low voice) I'll better check the robotics department, maybe she is up salvaging some  records, logs and  destroying some prototypes  (*after a quick run  from the main area to the lab department  john doe bumped into some people, he had to use the stairway because all elevators were full with non-combatant staff after getting 3 levels down  to the main robotic department. after a quick eye examination of the place there she was saving something into some hard drives. john doe opens the glass door and  let himself in into the lab making as little noise as he could carrying all his equipment on him, he was behind her  and instead of talking he just uses the  static on the radio system of his face mask, she was scared shitless almost letting fall  the hard drive on the floor)

[Nadia]: you, silly  how old are you 6?. (* said to john doe with a soft playful voice) 

[john_doe]: old enough to know how to scare you, my love. (*responds to Nadia with a smug soft tone) also, why aren't you with all the other scientist on your way to the hangar?

[nadia]: I am busy salvaging all that I can from this classified development is too important to let it fall into the "order" hands.

[john doe]: may I know what it is? (*responds to her in the same playful voice as before )

[nadia]: no is only for robotics staff and (she responding to him while knocking on his facemask)

[john doe]: don't be such a  hyena. anyways better get going the "order" will be here on anytime. maybe they are bombing us right now and we don't even know it.

[nadia]: don't worry this will be done in no time, everything else is getting destroyed, we are not leaving any information to them. (*said to him after kissing his facemask)

[jhon doe] ill be waiting for you on the stair  ye don't have that much time left until the convoy arrives

the fall of stratios  introduction of concept and some characters 

introduction 

planet environment 

the planet Mecran is ravaged by a world war in the year 2140;   the war finish up in total nuclear, biological and chemical(NBC) armageddon worldwide. every government and private military corporations are fighting on a full resource war against each other.
almost every corporation and remanence of government  are located in "clear zones"(a clear zone  is an area  that doesn't have any trace of biological or chemical weapons  including an acceptable  level of radiation  within the designated area) outside the "clear zones"  most of the world is destroyed  by all the atrocities of the war,  some areas that were highly affected by  NBC  agents  making life impossible  or  infested with  what used to be its  inhabitants (mostly what used to be civilians, military personnel and  all the other unfortunate ones that parish inside them); those areas are called  "anomalies" or "not go zones"  most of them  are filled with a toxic cloud of the NBC agents on the air  making it impossible to go into one without full NBC equipment  and even with one  every incursion   would be 1 hour max until the equipment  starts showing  symptoms of degradation.

main place of the story 

the city stratios located in the country of cipres, strations is one of the main cities within the country it was one of the last ones to fall; the difference was just a few weeks from day 0.
stratios was one of the biggest strongholds of military research and development, this includes government and private corporations. the city used to have a population of 5 million after the fall just a couple thousand are left most of them being a part of the remanence of the government or any other military organizations with small populations of civilians in each group; often used as a non-military workforce or any other job that does not require highly trained individuals to perform.

remanence of government and main military corporation 

the main corporation the story will be sticking around is surcor developments or just surcor, being one of the most well-equipped factions left most of it on its military power and robotics  making it one of the most powerful  and independent factions at the time is at war with the "order" (one of the government's remanence) that is superior or on the same level as surcor on military equipment.
