Faces of War

by samsationalization

They just lived simple, day-to-day lives in the Frontier. But that was subject to change. Soon, they are thrust into a war they had no qualms to fight in and from that point on, their regular lives were lost forever. War. War never changes. But the people that fight in them, they do.

IMC Covert Operations Audio Log Entry #31

Audio Playback: Ahem, is this thing on? Okay? Good. This is Executive Officer of the IMC Carrier, the Odyssey, James MacAllan, clearance code [static]. Anyway, to cut to the chase, one of our planetary frigates lost hold of some sort of cargo one of the colony runs. Pilot claims that he doesn't know where exactly the cargo has been dropped or stolen but a planet-wide, colony sweep will be conducted… That is all to report. End of Audio Log. MacAllan out.

IMC Covert Operations Audio Log Entry #53

Audio Playback: This is Sergeant Blisk of the 32nd IMC Ground Infantry Division, clearance code [static]. Sources from throughout the Planet [static]'s colonies claim that the lost prototype model has been taken to Colony H-24. Reports are sketchy but these claims are the IMC's best bet. The IMC will launch a full-force ground invasion in -1800 hours. Lethal force has been authorized by the IMC higher-ups. All Insurgent resistance shall be crushed if there is any at all. If the prototype retrieval is a failure, all reports on this Operation shall be entered in as Classified. These are the orders from the Fleet Admiral. That is all. End of Audio Log. Blisk out… [static] ([Audio Recovery Enabled] I miss my son.)

IMC Carrier Captain Audio Log Entry #[Classified]

Audio Playback: This is Executive Officer James MacAllan… actually, scratch that. It's just MacAllan now. The Odyssey is no longer in IMC boundaries and control. With the time this cruiser has left to the audio log mainframe, I, James MacAllan, plead to all who can listen to my voice right now. The IMC are monsters. Today, many men and I witnessed the brutality and ruthlessness of the IMC. The IMC that is known throughout the media is nothing but a lies written on paper but money-wielding business corporates. We saw the murder of countless innocent civilians that suffered at the hands of the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation. Many men and I have now defected from the IMC and led a mutiny against the Fleet Admiral aboard this cruiser. I urge all IMC operatives who hear this message to hear the cries of injustice that rings throughout the Frontier. Open your eyes and ears! See the Frontier for yourself and see what the IMC has been doing for decades. And now, I leave that choice to be made to you, Pilots.

It has been an honor serving with many courageous members of the IMC who are still blind to the plague they have unleashed onto your mind.

We may see each other on the Frontier, as allies fighting with along with each other or enemies at each other's throats.

But until then,

MacAllan out.
