Battlefield: Konu
Part One
Commander Liang, codename: LordRex, sat in the cockpit of his Cobra Attack Hovertank and mused on the day's events. He had deployed to the purplish planet in hopes of stumbling across one of the famed Alien Bases that littered the landscape. It was now a year and a half since they had moved from the faction planets – starting the Invasion of the system.
At first, no one really wanted to know about them. Supreme Commander Frizz had stated that the bases were just the start, but so far, no units had emerged from any of the planets. The HQ ships orbiting the system had then come together, to see if anything could be done to retake the planets back. Several hundred drops and thousands of crews later, the order had come out that an all out assault didn't work one bit. Of course, there were the occasional victories over the aliens, but their bases just kept coming. After that, Affliction and PGF had split from the Faction Alliance and attacked the aliens head on.
Only their top commanders had returned. Not one of them had spoken about what they saw, but Flostin's eyes held such emptiness that all who saw him from then on shuddered.
So now, it was up to him to do the scouting. Just him and his army of six. Him in his Cobra, a Hermes Meka, two Akimos, a Supernova and a Wolfhound. Wandering around Konu, waiting for either a sign of the aliens, bandits or the dropship to come. The silence was shattered only by the heavy footfalls of the Mekas beside him, their feet impacting on the sandy soil. He ran a hand through his short, black hair and sighed, looking out of the viewscreens.
Nothing but dust and sand as far as the eye could see.
God, it was depressing.
