After reading Proffessorfartburger's story I have decided to make one of my own, In this case the invasion happens after the U.S. gets all it's big guns out of prototype stage. Also by all BIG GUNS I mean ALL BIG GUNS lol. So if it is in prototype stage it is in mass production. If it is just off the drawing board and just came into the making prototype it is now in prototype stage.
2013: Laser Gatling guns are placed on all U.S. War Vessels, replacing the Searems. SpaceX full reusable Rocket is successful and the grasshopper is widely used by everyone. Making SpaceX into the first Quadrillion Dollar Company in U.S. History.
2016 November: the American People tired of war costing so many lives, elect a man whom promised to make the Military so strong even the Terrorists will fear to fight us. William Howling is elected. SpaceX begins work on Orbital elevator as a gift to mankind.
2016 December-2017 December: many programs that help the poor are reinvasion and force said poor to have to work in order to get help. No longer may people live off welfare, Social security is reformed, once again making it profitable and will be around for future generations. The government makes cuts across the board and re-looks at foreign aid. The debt, is hastily repaid by gold in Fort Knox, bringing the national debt down to 0, but at a great cost to the gold reserve. However, more money is pumped into DEW and FWS (Future Warrior Suit)
2018 January: FWS is finished and out of proto-type stage, No longer will a .50 cal round be able to take the life of an American soldier with just one shot.
2018 March: First Laser assault rifle to exit proto-type stage. Mass production begins. The range of the rifle is 1.5 miles at night and 1 mile in the day.
2019 April: the Magnetic Accelerator Rail Gun, (MAR for short) is put onto the first Aircraft carrier. Effetely doubling it's size. It is rumored to be able to hit N.K. from the safety of San Francisco harbor.
2019 June: F-35 is finished and quickly replaces the F-22. After a few war games between a flight of F-35 and the entire Air Wing from a Carrier Fleet, the Navy starts developing a version that can take off of carriers.
2020 November: In a landslide victory President Will Howling is re-elected. SpaceX finishes Orbital Elevator and offers a contract to the government to allow the Government to launch XB-37's from it. The Government agrees.
2021 January: Cold fusion Reactors are developed and put into Aircraft carriers. Replacing Nuclear Reactors across the board.
2021 March: NASA makes first prototype of warp engine, predicted to take another 30 years till able to mass produce at the earliest. They say it is more likely to be around the 2060's if not later.
2021 June: Delta Force Operatives are discovered by the Mexican Special force known as Cuerpo de Fuerzas Especiales de México ( Special Forces Airmobile Group of Mexico). The two operatives face more than 150 Mexican Specops, however thanks to the FWS they are able to kill 130 before running out of ammo and having to surrender.
Mexico considers going to war against the United States. However, when the United States reveals to the world it's new military advances in the past decade Mexico resigns it's self to asking for repercussions of 1 trillion dollars. The U.S. Agrees in return for all personal captured and equipment.
2021 October: In fear of terrorists getting ICBMs the U.S. reaches a deal with SpaceX to put defensive weapons on the Orbital Elevator. Gatling Laser's as well as a MAR. The knowledge is kept hidden from the public and the world.
2022 July 4th : Terrorists get their hands on a Old Russian ICBM and launch it at the orbital elevator. The missile is destroyed several thousand clicks away. A single Battalion of infantry is sent in to deal with the Terrorist strong hold.
2022 August 1st No casualties on the American side thanks to FWS. All terrorists of that cell numbering in the thousands are reported as resisting and thus had to be shot several times in the head. The American people welcome these men home with a heroes welcome periods lining every street of every town that produced one of the men who went to fight.
2022 September 2nd : Women for the first time are allowed din Special Forces, However due to the physical requirements that they must achieve ( same as males) few pass the requirements to try out. Even fewer pass the test to train. Those who do make it are known as some of the most ferrous soldiers on Earth.
2023 January 5th: NASA gives the blueprints for the building of Ion engines to SpaceX. MarsOne lands a human colony on Mars.
2023 February 6th: Pluto is destroyed by what is believed to be a rogue Asteroid. The U.S. sends it's first and only unmanned extra-planetary equipped for battle unmanned vessel to investigate.
2023 February 18th Mars colony goes silent as does the unmanned space vessel the U.S. sent. U.S. Forces are placed on DEFCON 2 in response. All air traffic stops and the United States Enters for the first time in its' history full scale Martial Law. All Reserves and IR's are called up as well as the early graduation of all Seniors in ROTC. Jrs. Are rushed to camp to be available to be commissioned. Everyone else who is under contract is forced into the NCO core as a SSGT. The Draft for the first time since the veitinam war is enacted and all industries are put into wartime production. SpaceX is contracted to make Classified weapons. Canada does the same in Response. In return they receive FWS for their armed forces. With in a Week all of the Canadian armed Forces are equipped with it. Mexico still mad at the United States does not do anything. NATO in response to the United States goes to DEFON 2 as well. Although they do not know why. All they know is the United States has gone to DEFCON 2 and thus they stand prepared to lend aid were they can. Nukes are armed and fueled across the U.S. and the world watches. Wondering what will happen.
February 19th 2023 conference room in Presidential hide out, location Classified, Depth into the ground Classified.
"What are we looking at gentlemen," I asked the table around me.
My sectary of Defense a man whom I had know for a very long time, infact a man whom went to high school with me, was the first to speak up, "Sir, it looks like we have a first contact scenario. However, due to the Mars colony going dark as well as Prometheus being destroyed it is safe to assume that this is infact a hostile first contact."
Taking a deep, I looked around the room knowing full well what we dieced to do will effect the entire human race, "Options people, what are they?"
"Well sir there is always surrender," my Sectary of State declared. A woman whom I had come to respect despite our differences on almost every level. One of the man reasons she got her position in the first place.
"Isis, that's not an option." I responded, "I do not know about you guys but I do not plan on going into the dark with out a fight."
"Sir, we cant fight them in space, we don't have the weapons," my vice president responded.
"Then we shall lure them to the ground," I said turning to my sectary of Defense, "Matt how long do we have?"
"At most 4 days, probably sooner. Why Mr. President?"
"Put the entire fleet to sea, put the 50's on the sub's."
".50 cal sir, that won't do much especially if since they have space ships."
"I never meant to put .50 cals on the subs. No, no, no, what I want on the Submarines is our 50 megaton nuclear missiles."
A gasp was heard around the room. Those explosives were made in what was thought to be the countries darkest hour. The Cuban missile crisis. Never since then did any imagine they would have to use them.
"Mr. President I ask you to reconsider, " Isis began.
"Isis, you're my sectary of State because I am piss poor are foreigner relationships and you have a great moral compass and always try to do that right thing. However, this is my order and ill bear the brunt of the moral reasonability."
"Now I want the entire Air Force moved to our underground fields in the Mountains. I do not plan to give ET the air to them because they took out our birds from orbit. Same with every military asset we own. Let them think we do not have a military. Make them come down to us. Then when they let their guard down, we shall strike. Oh and one last thing, I want guns given out to the populace. It may seem like we are abandoning them, so I want them to know we shall be back. Give them anything they ask for."
"Mr. President!" Isis shouted
"Isis, you will stay quite the rest of the meeting or I will fire you!"
"Yes Mr. President," Isis grumpily admitted.
"Do not think I am not thinking of the problems this will probably cause in the long run. However, if we don't do this then their probably wont ever be a long run!"
"Now, this is what else I want to happen, I want the rest of our nuclear arsenal primed and ready for launch. If these bastards think for 1 minute they can take on the greatest country on this god damn planet then they have another thing coming to them."
With that, I dismissed everyone and went to my bedroom to retire for the night. It was going to be a very busy week for me.
In route to Earth Bartarians Pirate dreadnought
Urtz looked over the scout reports on this new species. It seems like they had just got into space flight and only had one drone form what they were able to find out. Should be an easy target. With any luck they would have a new slave race do enjoy and to have wage war for them. They would show the council the might of Hegemony after they conquered these people. From what there scouts had said, there drone was armed with DEW and a massive kinetic weapon. It was able to take out several of their frigates before three cruisers put the thing down. They combed over the wreckage to look for any survivors. However, it had turn out the damn thing was a drone. Who makes unmanned s pace vessels for combat anyways. Communication delays were horrible.
"How much longer till we get to this planet called Earth?" he asked his pilot.
"Another day or two. If we didn't have to go around the Turian patrol fleets we would have already been there," he complained.
"Well we wouldn't want those idiots on the council to get the wrong ideas now would we. Don't worry I hate them just as much as you do, and mark my words their time will come, oh how it will come I promise you that."
With a grin the pilot responded, "roger that sir."
"Good," the captain responded looking back at his data pad. It seemed that a country called the United States was the world's super power. They would make a great place to touch down at. Then as he read on, he could not help but grin. For he had reach the part were the scouts had come across a planet just away from their home world. It seemed as if they had just begun their colonization of their solar system. Well that suited him just fine. For now, he could have a few of these humans to try out when he got there already.
First Sgt. Howard 1st Cav. Ft. Hood Texas Killeen 12 hours until attack.
Sgt. Howard look out at his company, they were digging in for the fight of their lives. Word had just come down from the top what they were dealing with and the men were scarred. To help ease their fears the General of the base ordered a movie screen put up and independence day to play nonstop. To try to raise the men's moral. The spouses and children whom lived on base were either set to underground bunkers of were getting medical stations up and running. Helping out were ever they could. Say what one will about the Army and their spouses they were nothing if not brave. Sighing he turned to look at his captain. The man had barley been in command for more than a month and now he was facing not only his first combat operation but one that came from fraking space! However, he knew full well that the U.S. military and their Canadian Allies were ready.
" First Sgt!" a man from behind him shouted.
Turning around Howard saw a Staff sergeant by the name of Wood. Walking towards him. "First Sgt. the Civilians have all been placed in fall out shelters and the mayor is wanting to know if our guys need anything along the lines of entertainment and what not.
Thinking for a minute, " I don't know, that's a question for the BC."
"Alright do you know where Ltc. Paul is at?"
"Should be at the high school, seeing at turning it into a forward command center."
"Thank you, first Sgt.!" wood replied as he ran off.
Howard couldn't help but think to himself how much of a living hell they were all going to be in here soon.
Delta force Task Force 121 4 hours till attack location D.C.
Josh Howling was preparing his men. There job was to get onto an enemy ship by any means necessary. Once on board they were to kill the entire crew and try their damnest to not crash the thing. The U.S. was going to plan a counter attack, lord only knew where these things came from but by god they would counter-attack. As such for the first time in the Entire history of Delta the entire group was deploying as one. Instead of working in 2 man teams or even squad level teams, they were instead working as an entire Regiment. Each man kitted out with his own personal gear.
While the Stuff the army gave to the normal guy may have been good, delta knew they would always need the best. As such they were given a small allowance to buy the better stuff for themselves. He looked down at his more advance Laser rifle or as they often called it Las-Rifle. Of course if the laser weapons were Las-rifles than the ones they had would be hot-shot Las-Rifles.
Checking his ATOG scope and making sure the sight was on and good to go he put down his rifle and drew his side arm. Unlike the official sidearm of the U.S. Military, which was still the M-9 since they hadn't made laser handguns, his had smart ammo that could go around corners and curve down to strike people around both corners and those who were ducking down under cover. Of course though this made the rounds expensive as hell to make. Which was the reason why the rest of the military minus sniper's were not given these rounds. Even then the sniper's were only given the rounds for their main weapon not their side arm.
Looking at his fellow brother in arms he couldn't help but smile. Oh yes, the ET son of a bitch who wanted to fuck with Earth were going to pay. Oh how they were going to kill those bastards. Ever since they had been given the FWS and their new weapons they have yet to receive a combat loss of life. Of course there were the two men whom were captured. However, many in the Regiment believed they let themselves get captured. Since they very easily could have slept out with the adaptive cameo and the speed at which they could run would have made it impossible for them to be caught. He still couldn't believe it after years of training with this thing. From proto-type stage to now. No human should have been able to run 55 miles per hour. However when he put on this suit he did just that.
"Hey major," a Staff Sgt. Said near him called Rogers said to him.
"What's up Staff Sgt.?"
"Just wanted to say, were going to kick ET's Ass right?"
"Kicking his ass is putting it lightly, have no fear we will destroy their sorry ass."
With a chuckle Rogers replied, "Roger that sir, I do have a question though, what if they have shields or something?"
"Easy shoot it till it falls down, if you have to throw a grenade or even a good old knife attack. Lord knows what a knife and this suit could do to a man."
With that Rogers walked away. Leaving the Major to his thought. The staff sergeant did have a good point. Shields, what on earth were they going to do if they had those. Of course according to sci-fi shields would give out after a while, but what if they didn't, or what if they did but the firepower was beyond what they had.
Getting up he walked over to Gunnery Sgt. Dante, "Gunny I want additional explosive and phosphorous grenades for everyone. I want them to have enough to equal the fire power of a squad. Make it happen."
"Roger that sir," Gunnery Sergeant Murdock replied in her Hawaiian accent despite her mainland appearance with pale skin and blonde hair. Hell of a delta operator he couldn't but help think as he turned to look over at the flyboys in his unit. Both had been combat pilots before that had joined the PJ's where they were offered to join Delta. These truly were the best of the best. Every branch working together in one force. Not even the famous seal team 6 were their equal.
"What do you make of our chances of taking a ship sir?" the pilot named Bijansky asked.
"Taking the ship, that parts easy, flying the ship will be hard. You better hope what ever the fuck the egg heads came up with works because f not were all going down with the ship. Just remember all we have to do is keep the damn thing in the air, no combat maneuvers should be needed hopefully."
"Roger that sir."
SpaceX Headquarters 1 hour till in orbit
Elon Mask looked over the translation device that his company had just finished making. From the audio response and imagines that the cruiser had sent to Earth after it had taken out the Mars Colony demanding their surrender. They were able to make out a ruff translation. At first the message had been garbled and no one could understand it. However, the pictures were big help in what the aliens had wanted. The aliens were flat out demanding a surrender. Of course the U.S. intercepted and block the transmission from any country from getting this message that was not an ally. They figured that they could deal with their enemies in the world and destroy all these Aliens all in one fell swoop.
Of course North Korea and Iran have pretty much crapped their pants. Especially when the president made the order to fuel the 50 megatons. They were convinced that the U.S. was feed up with their bullshit and were going to put an end to them both at the same time. Infact, North Korea even had the balls to go to DEFCON 1. Their entire country was locked down and they were in the process of arming ever last man woman and child.
Of course though this wouldn't do a damn thing for what was about to happen. They were going to be taken out.
"Well this should work, send on over to the president," he finally said, to his attendant Alex.
With a push of a button Alex sent the package over for the presidents approval. If all went right they just had a weapon which would be very decisive hopefully in the coming war. Little did she know just how big of an advantage SpaceX just gave to humanity.
Alright guys here is chapter one, This is going to be only like 5 chapters long. You will see just how screwed the mass effect universe is by modern technology we have in prototype stage. For information on each thing please read below.
Future Warrior Suit (FWS) : is a skin tight sealed all environment suit. It can handle any bio or chemical weapon attack. Also has antidotes on hand for all known poisons ,chemical and bio weapons. These are automatically injected into the body of the wearer upon the detection by the computer system. It has a f-16's computer power. It has a heads up display that monitors health, fatigue, and my favorite heart rate. It also , in the heads up display, has a computer that projects images and live action video from satellites and anything else they could need onto the one way visor. It can stop a .50cal round due to the way the suit its' self works. Until it is shot the suit is a soft flexible material. Upon impact the area around the shot hardens. While the rest of the suit remains soft. This allows the force to be spread across the entire body. With Smart muscle fibers and hydraulics the users strength is increased by 70%. The User is also capable of running of excess speeds of 45 MPH. With bursts of speed up 60. The suit also has an adaptive cameo scheme that changes to the environment. Further it has a built in translator that can receive any language of any dialect and translate it into perfect English. Then can change English when spoken to any language the user wishes. Allowing every solider to speak any language they want. Also the solider can carry up to 150 pounds and not feel any addition weight. Set to be out in mass production in the year 2020
The Laser gun: The Gatling gun is actually being placed on ships today. The laser file is almost out of prototype stage and will be used by 2017. It is more powerful than the standard m-4/m-16 rifle with greater range.
SpaceX reusable rocket: It is called the grass hopper and takes its' maiden trip into space this year.
Cold fusion reactor: the tests very from test to test. Sometimes no energy is produced and sometimes a shit ton to the point where the entire lab explodes is produced. Should be in wide use around 2021.
Orbital Elevator: we can do this now, just no one wants to spend the trillions of dollars needed for it. Think of twice the U.S. debt and you get a rough estimate.
Magnetic Accelerated Rail Gun (MAR) : this is also almost out of prototype stage and should be in wide use by the 2019's. Infact the navy's new stealth destroyers they are building will come with 3. Also is capable of shooting through mountains and hitting what ever is trying to hide behind them.
Colony on mars: go look up Mars One lol
