I've been doing some MGSV over the break. As soon as Freedom Planet 2 came up, I couldn't help but think of something that will tie the two games together. This is an attempt to construct that connection.
"Are the servers fixed?"
"Yes boss, but it took a bite out of our account though, even some of the defense systems were compromised in the process."
"...fuck...like how much?"
"About 5 million. We can't go this far with so little. We need to reboot our gambling sector, anything to alleviate this...deficit we have."
"And the laundering?"
"Possibly that."
"Commence the gambling sector, but no need for the others. We are better than this."
"But boss-"
"I know. 30%. But, look how far we've gotten. My brother is now sane, our ranks our swelling thanks to the ex-sisters. A breakdown should not destroy all that progress we made these past few months, even years. You figured out what caused it?"
"The university in Shang Tu recorded unique energy signatures as early as three weeks ago."
"What are talking about here? Radiation?"
"Some radiation. And energy pulses, like small gamma ray bursts, which have been causing the disruptions. Shuigang has been faring badly."
"I know. Thank god Dail got his shit together."
"We believe the source is about a few hours down the coast, closer to the Shang Mu border, Porcelain Bay. I received some transmissions from a few of our informants there three days ago. Looks like a cache of Brevon's technology is the source of it."
"Don't tell me that motherfucker and his limbless bitch general is back."
"There are no signs of them at the moment. But we did catch sight of the NALF* operative."
"Those punks huh? At least they're not as bad. We better get cracking then. How much do you think they have?"
"We are not sure at the moment. But we do expect another 60% to be covered with what we can recover. Since we have not had an encounter in years, any potential engagements may start another war. It is best to do this as quietly as possible. Even then, who knows what could be done with Brevon's weapons."
"I've had some experience and interacted with his arsenal. It's been awhile since we've pulled off some big operations. I'll take care of it."
"And the others?"
"Deploy the others once the main threats are neutralized for recovery and cleanup. I'll head off tomorrow night."
*National Avalician Liberation Front: A separatist paramilitary group that rival the Red Scarves. Designated terror group by Shuigang, Shang Mu, and Shang Tu. Remained inactive during the events of the Invasion.
Today, a new film by J.J. Abrams was announced. 10 Cloverfield Lane. No idea what will happen, but it looks great. He is a master of sci-fi and suspense and it something I've been following and adapting to my works. I have a lot on my plate, with many active projects. Better get cracking haha.
