Putting the Financial Report the commander looked at the stacks of paper sighing in disbelief at their numerical advantage. Looking around the commander at the office she resided in. After the destruction of the enemy Mother ship most if not all remaining Xeno's had been eliminated and destroyed, so no further damage to the populous could be done.
That however left a very vague question; will they ever return? That was over six months ago, but to the commander it felt like mere days had passed. Afterwards Xcom was booming with new research, vehicles from the corporative alliance between Shen and Vahlen.
For example their old fighter coul now not only keep up but out down any 'Xeno' fighter putting it on par with the Firestorms. Good thing considering that they were far to expensive to mass produce and maintain. Hell we were even giving Patens out for nations to start research and building lower-class laser weaponry.
But all that seemed so long ago now, Xcom was without an enemy to fight and to top it all off the council had only given them active to see the results of th-
"Commander are you alright?" Ah yes turning she saw her second in command; Central Officer Bradford. Truly a brilliant young man, she could recount how many lives his advice had saved in the beginning of the war. Sighing again she responded.
"As much as I would love to say yes, it'd be too big of a lie even for you."
"I'm sorry to interrupt commander, but the council has summoned you…." He stopped as she stood up and pulled a book from her book case causing part of the wall above the door to slide out revealing a holo-projector. Understanding he left giving her a word of good luck before the door shut locking. If this was the other meeting she'd need the good luck.
Staring one month after the Human-Xeno War, the council had started to cut funding to the project until after six months it was only a 15% wartime funding. They gave them just enough to run somewhat smoothly. Sadly all the main factories had shut down leaving only the secondary's. Best thing though was that the base expanded massively.
Now supporting three massive hanger full of the MK- II fighters also known simply as 'Two's'. Also the base had five major and two secondary factories. Each one produced; Armor, Weapons, Aircraft, Ground Vehicles and Materials for further expansion. The secondary's produce reactors, medical supplies and ectra.
As of now Base assets includes:
40-MKII's
600- Base Personnel
200-Mission Operatives- Regular DNA Manipulation
25-MECH Operatives. ( Fives teams of Five)
N/A- ground sides vehicels.
20 VTOL's ( Have separate storage unit)
400- Scientists
600- Engineers
250-Other
250- Ballistic Weapon Crates. (700 per crate = 175,000)
250- Laser grade weaponry crates. (300 per crate = 75,000)
50- Plasma grade weaponry crates ( 150 per crate = 7,500)
-Warning most weapons not currently being patented are to stay within the base at ALL TIMES. Any found violating this rule will be subject to possible penalty of death under jurisdiction of the Council.
300-Carapce Armor crates (300 per crate/ Main armor for defensive personnel. = 90,000)
100- Titan MK I crates (300 per crate = 30,000)
50- Psi armor MK II crates ( 50 per crate = 2,500) ( The MK II has capabilities of the Titan MK I Armor)
10- MK II Titan Prototype Exoskeleton ( 5 per crate = 50)
1- Classified. Level Zero Authorization needed.
Coming out of her thoughts, she heard a familiar voice.
"Greetings Commander." Same blacked figure as always. " The Council has decided to speed up the testing of the 'Guardian'. Before the figure could continue, she spoke up, eyes narrowing.
"Sir may I ask why?"
"Commander, you out of everyone in this base knows I don't keep secrets from you. We need to know we're not wasting our time. In return you'll be receiving a massive amount of supplies and materials…worth billions. Sadly your funding won't be increasing, instead it will be at 125% Wartime funding." He paused before the connection cut giving a warning. " Don't make me regret putting in a good word for Xcom. Unlike the others, I know your people are still needed and will be for a long time.
Please commander and thank you….You don't know thin but during the first Terror attack in Washington DC you saved my family. Think of this as repayment. Remember commander we'll be watching."
Before anymore could be said the conversation ended, she got up leaving the room in darkness..
-Xcom meeting room A-1-
"I'm telling you Shen that the my upgrades to the Carapace are more important than your new toys. With this upgrade we'll improve the defense of our security personnel by 275% with only an increase of 27% of the needed resources than normal.
"Doctor Vahlen I'm sorry but my new plasma round will be of much more use in almost every aspect. Our regular ballistic weapons have to potential destructive capabilities of the raw plasma condensed within our plasma rifles. This could cut back costs of building plasma weapons on general and save us millions in the end.
Before they could continue Central Officer Bradford walked in with the Commander close behind. Turning towards them the two geniuses began to present their projects' in the hope of approval.
"Comman-"
"I already know" Looking at both of them she continued." You send me emails on all of the projects you want me to approve. As of now I've been given all the funding we'll need. Shin your Plasma bullets have been given approval. As for you Doc, same though I have a request for you personally. One-"
She turned to Vahlen.
"I want my own personal suit of the Psi MK II made and Shin. I want you to upgrade my personal sidearm with these new modification. Sitting down at the front she cleared her throat.
"Also the reason behind this is do to the council getting impatient with the slowed down progress of the 'Guardian' project. As of now we are receiving 125% wartime income and also getting a massive delivery of supplies and materials to load onto it. I want the testing to be completed soon and security at maximum. I want absolutely no trouble understood."
Receiving nodes from all three she smiled. "We'll meet back here once every week for two months when it finished and ready for launch. Good, meeting adjourned.
- 2Months Later -
True to their word the Council sent a massive amount of supplies and materials to Xcom. So much in fact they were almost overloaded and had to start building new storage areas in under a day of their delivery. No joke the bases primary, secondary and Guardian Storage areas were filled to the max.
When the commander ran the numbers she almost fainted, overall the council had sent them almost 39 Billion dollars in equipment, supplies and materials. Were they got this much money she could never fathom. But it may have something to do with saving the President in Washington DC, President of Russia when he went on vacation in St. Petersburg and the Prime Minister of Japan. That and a few other world leaders….that answers so many questions.
"Alright begin final testing before launch we want no mistakes here people!"
'Welp everything seems-' Before she could finish the thought she feel over as a sudden force shook the entire base. Alarms blaring she got to her feet unsteadily, nearly falling over again.
"Report, what's going on!?" She yelled. Vahlen's face appeared only for the screen to go black but not ending the transmission.
"Commander, something's wrong…. the ship….incredible I'v-"
"Doctor!" This time it was Bradford's voice.
"Ah yes…the ship..it's harmonizing with the Gallop chamber along with the Hyperwave Relay in the base. The resounding effect is this." To prove he point consoles started exploding in the room. Suddenly Shen spoke.
"Doctor LOOK!" all they heard was a gasped "Commander RUN NOW!" she yelled. But before she could ask why, darkness consumed her vision.

When Council operatives go to the base under orders to find Xcom went silent, all they found was a massive hole in the ground. After sending there report a meeting was held on the next course of action.
It has been decided a new Xcom will be created, sadly starting from the ground up. As a gift, they built a memorial stone at the formers base. They will be remembered, however a certain group was unsatisfied and was certain they were alive. When they found them, they would return their heroes home.
That was not a guess, promise but a fact. They owed them everything, and they'll be dammed before they just give up on them.
-Elsewhere, Fallout universe-
With lightning speed the commander jumped us as did many others in shock. It seemed that what ever happened the damage, at lest here was small. Quickly damage reports started to flood in as more and more awoke.
"Commander you hurt." Good he's ok it seems.
"Central Officer I le-" suddenly Vahlen and Shen appeared, thankfully not harmed
"Commander we're alright here, though some of the secondary reactors have been overloaded and will need to be replaced."
"Fine but I want to know what happened." Shen looked worriedly at Vahlen who did the same.
"Sir like I said before.. 'The Event' The Hyperwave, gallop chamber and Guardian began harmonizing when we activated the engines for a final diagnostics test. They soon began harmonizing and created a…. a…. I think either a Miniature black hole or some type of disturbance in the fabric of reality itself. Unknown, truthfully commander I'm guessing. Question; status of our satellites are they still operational? Please find out we're on our way Vahlen out." The screen went black.
"Bradford, how we looking?"
"Mam the satellites will be back on." The globe reappeared normal as usual except for one thing. All territories we giving of a radioactive signature?
"I don't understand….. what happened."
Everyone in the control room stood in silence, not even the monitors dared to beep.
"Commander you need to sea this!" The area in which their base resided had now moved?
"But we're located in Europe, how is thi-" The it hit her "When we were hit perhaps we moved."
When the door opened, Shen walked in along with Vahlen each of their steps in sync.
"I have an theory for what ahs happened Commander." All attention was know on the two geniuses. "You Jenkins I believe, pull up a live feed of the surfaces around the base.
He did as asked and the globe disappeared only to show them the ruins of Washington DC.
"Commander as we I stated earlier; me nor Shen know what really happened. I think and let me be frank it is difficult to understand, but I believe were not on earth anymore. Well at lest ours anyway."
"Vahlen while that may be true I need cold hard proof for something like this." Not good, she couldn't stop her hands from shaking. A different Earth how, it should be impossible…right….right?
"Ah can help with that, commander the radiation coming from…..well everywhere is very weak. All the nukes we have well…we need only a few dozen or so to start a nuclear winter. But multiple areas show they were hit by hundreds if not thousands. If my math is correct, the massive amounts of nukes used to cause this only add up to at best an A-bomb. But I believe Vahlen has something more important to show you."
Turning focus back to the doctor, she typed something on her data pad that caised many to gasp. Many voice spoke.
"How that's impossible!"
"No way!"
"The Hell"
Standing strong but somewhat in disarray was a building they thought they'd never see again. On the screen before them was the World Trade Center. No Ground Zero, no memorials. Just two buildings that caused a massive change in the world.
It seems it was true. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't defeat the truth standing there, staring them in the face.
They really were on a different earth.
" Vahlen, Shen get me information on the planet. Bradford I want an assessment report on my desk in an hour and have all teams ready for combat. I'll be in my office, I need to think on our next move." When no one moved she yelled. "NOW" Everyone was back to work, do as instructed, it seemed that their Commander could be quite scary sometimes.
leaving them room, she went towards her office only to stop. 'Ah so they're already here are they. "I'm surprised you got so close without me noticing. I losing my touch apparently."
She waited a minute, about to speak again until a soft male voice spoke.
"How'd you know, I made no sound." So it was him after all.
"I was leader of our little group for a reason young-ling."
"You still call me that, why?" 'idiot the name gives it away'
"Foxhound, your orders are to guard the gate at all times" she got a multitude of voices as a response.
"Understood." Feeling the presences had left she continued onward to her office.
It was a mess. Papers were all over the floor, her filing cabinets had been knocked over spilling out their contents.
'well shit this was going to take awhile. Well at lest the computer is working fine.'
Picking up the papers she reorganized them putting them back on her desk. the whole process took about 10 minutes. She'd leave the filing cabinets alone for now. Looking at her computer she started looking at the area that surrounded the base. Sadly all she got was what looked liked destroyed homes and a - wait. Zooming in she saw something that made her heart jump. A town that was made out of a multitude of scraps, but that's not the important part.
The town had living people inside of it and near what looked like a gate stood sign that read.
'Megaton.'
...
...
A frown found its way on her face. 'We need more information, perhaps they have it. No we need it, i'll bring this up at the briefing. Until then i'll gather more information...Wait is that a robot...'
Looking around further she found an broken Aircraft Carrier, the Destroyed White House, The Capital Building and other things. But she found more than that, more savage things. Mainly giant green men...shit whelp this just got harder, I mean seriously their like the size of a Muton... probably as stupid as one too. Still could be deadly though.
"Hm, how much time till the meeting; 32 minutes." The commander eyes got a mischievous glint in them. Typing something on to her computer the bookcase moved inside the wall revealing a staircase that led upwards somewhere.
Going up it she was led to a large room full of weapons. What? If an enemy penetrated the base she would need quick access to weapons and or armor for her and others. After the incident with EXALT and the Xenos breaking in she took many precautions by adding more security teams, better armor and weapons. Finally by adding this secret armory just for her. She wasn't done with that since Vahlen and Shen almost got killed, she had stations set up near them that would deploy 10 Plasma Hover S.H.I.V.S., secretly there were 10 more stations hidden throughout the base.
For outer defense she had built upgraded turrets that fire lasers instead lasers. Overall on upgraded security she spent about 17 million dollars.
"Now lets get started shall we? My skills have dulled, this is most unacceptable indeed." She was now dressed in a MK II Titan Exoskeleton suit. For weapons she went with an EXALT laser Rifle and her new pistol. She had Shen upgrade it to shoot the new Plasma infused bullets.
Activating the cloak ability she walked towards the exit of the base easily sneaking past Foxhound. Soon she found herself at the door. Going to the pad in the wall she typed in her special code opening the door without raising the alarms.
The door was apparently hid inside a small underground cave. Walking towards the light she saw, excitement bubbled up in her she took the final step out her hand flew towards her eyes at the sudden increase in brightness. The hot wind hit her face blowing long hair everywhere. After a minute she opened her brown eyes taking in the view. A mini holo-screen popped up showing her the direction and distance of this 'Megaton'
"So lets see what you've got in store for me, this game is getting interesting."
After about five minutes of walking she heard gunshots. Pulling out her rifle she looked through its scope and found a strange sight. A young man wearing a blue jumpsuit with Vault 101 on it was running from a bunch of people yelling about how they would enjoy killing him. It was at this point she realized a fatal mistake he made. He slightly turned around and fired wildly at the yelling idiots not realizing he would trip.
'And he tripped...great, there goes my cover' Taking aim three rapid succession shots went through each enemies head burning through their armor like it was nothing. Which in actuality it was.
'That was very anti-climatic' Was the commanders thought. De-cloaking she looked around only to see the barrel of a gun pointed at her face.
"Target re-acquired and FUBAR"
So yeah chapter one down, also if want a OC placed in my Xcom squads just leave it with the review, thanks.
Sorry if my story sucks but it'll get a lot better in time seeing as i'll be typing stories now.
