"Justice Will be brought to the light."
Background:
War. Throughout history there are few things that have lasted through humanity’s history, one of which being war.
The year is 2056, a global war engulfed the planet between the 'United Nations Military Alliance', mainly 1st world countries, vs the Initiative, mainly third world countries such as Somalia or the Middle East. Every country was affected by the war...except Switzerland, but that’s beside the point. The UNMA had combined it’s militaries into 1 standing ary, and divided them along the 3 fronts: the Middle East, East AFrica and Southeast Asia. You were deployed to the Middle Eastern front, where you currently served in a squad known as the Steel Dragons, a small but effective strike team, focusing on frontline combat.
There were only 3 other members of your squad, but you were some of the most battle hardened soldiers in the UNMA:
Townsend: a former British officer and the commander of the team, Townsend is probably the most battle hardened of the group. He is calm and collected, but will do whatever it takes to complete his higher up’s orders, even if it means his own death.
Gregor: Serbian scammer/con artist before being drafted, his silver tongue proved valuable for infiltration. He may seem like an asshole, but he has a secret heart of gold. He gave you a hard time when you first joined, but has since warmed up to you.
‘Courier’: Canadian writer who had his spine and his legs replaced by robotics after a car accident which left him unable to walk, making him the fastest runner of the 4. Is probably the nicest out of the 3, but it’s a facade, as he suffers depression from the incident.
You: The only female of the group, when your home country, (Insert Here) was attacked by the Initiative, you jumped to take action. You are the newest member of the squad.(You can decide what country you’re from and what your skills are)
Plot Opening:
“FIRE!” The huge gun that towered above the camp fired a blast of energy, sending a fireball hurdling towards enemy lines. You heard the sound of it crashing back to the Earth, landing square into the trench that lied on the enemy side. You would have been terrified of the noise, but you were used to it by now.
Townsend watched the gun show with his usual blank expression, smoking a cigarette. “Could you put that thing out, it’s bad enough i have to smell the gunpowder…” Courier sighed. Grgor was snoring, he had passed out a few minutes ago from the bottle of gin that lay next to him, spilled over.
Suddenly a large thundering sound erupted from the ground, making the ground shake slightly. Gregor sprung up, though still seemingly drunk. “Wha-wathehe…” he made some unintelligable stuttering before a cry was heard from the other side of the trenches. Townsend stepped off the cannon, walking to the trio. “They’re going over no man’s land, get ready!” Townsend barked. “No shit, Sherlock!” Courier quickly shuffled through his things before pulling out a double barrel. Gregor stumbled a bit, still drunk, before pulling out an M62, the new model of M60 LMG. Townsend pulled a big ass revolver, turning to them. “Gregor, go arm those explosives you planted earlier. Courier, go run to those radio towers, we need air support! I’ll stay here and make sure they don’t get over the wire.” He turned to you, you were shaking, as this is the first time the Initiative has gone on the offensive on this front. “Recruit...do as you will.” The trio split off, Courier running as fast as humanly possible to the back of the friendly lines, Gregor stumbling over to the right part of the trench, and Townsend calmly walked forward and pulled out binoculars.
3 choices, 3 stories still untold, it’s up to you to decide who deserves the spotlight...But be warned, all 3 have secrets best left untouched, and problems that will be difficult to solve.
