Kou Kuana

Menagerie

Remnant

Admiral Lasky was having an ok day. He had internet now. Velvet Scarlatina was standing on his left, and Ghira Belladonna on his right. They were overseeing the construction of a new dock. The old one couldn't capacitate the Earth's ships, so they needed to make a new one. The needed to be able to serve Earth's Knox Nevis class sipping freighters. It warmed his heart to see the relief on the Faunus's faces, to let them know that somebody actually cared about them.

An Abram drove by the three towards Kaja Miam, an inner town. It was next on the relief campaign, Lasky was proud of what they had down in Kou Kuana.

"It's beautiful, isn't it Chieftain Belladonna?" Lasky asked him. He watch in the distance at the houses being torn down and rebuilt.

"Certainly Admiral Lasky, but what are you planning on about the Grimm?"

"Simple, Ghira. Nuclear weapons, no amount of conventional warfare is going to clear that amount of Grimm, but don't worry we got GPS back so missing won't be a problem."

"What are Nuclear weapons admiral Lasky?"

"Something I wanted this world never to experience, but alas it was fate."

They heard a whizzing sound above them flying by them and on its way to the desert. When it landed, it burst into something akin to a second sun. It lasted for about a second before a huge mushroom cloud had expanded upwards in its place. Every Faunus and Human stopped and stared at it in silence; for humans it meant death and for Faunus it fascinated them.

"What the hell was that Lasky?" Ghira shouted at Lasky angrily, Lasky stood calmly and looked solemn.

"That was a nuclear missile burning the Grimm out of their Spawning Grounds, that my friend was the power of the splitting of the atom," Lasky explained. "We used a Hydrogen based missile to lessen the effect of radiation, we want them to burn and not kill you in the process."

Regal

Kingdom of Atlas

Remnant

Markus Henderson was a guardian angel to the Faunus of Regal. Regal was a small town in the Kingdom of Atlas, with a large Faunus population. He was the only huntsman for miles, and Markus was only eighteen. Markus had sea green eyes and had dark hair. He sported a white trench coat and tan combat boots. He had a small secret, he was from Earth. He had unlocked his aura like some other defenders but he sported different gear, using an FN SCAR rifle that was painted white and light gray. He also sported an IMI Desert Eagle as his secondary weapon.

Regal was made up of four main places, the farm buildings, the clinic, town hall and the small airport. There were the various shops and houses in the area, but Markus paid attention to the bigger places. Then again that didn't mean he doesn't care for the little guys. The mayor had personally thanked him for turning Regal into an oasis of life. That was his semblance; it was literally the ability to change the environmentaround him. That's how Regal had become a snow ridden town to a town with clear skies mildly cold weather and green grass. He also found out that he could change how thick or thin the atmosphere would be. He also found out that those changes were permanent unless he changed it.

He called it terraforming. Markus used it to his advantage; he made the stretch of land around Regal an absolute hell frozen over, daily blizzards, and average temperature of ten and below, wind chill in the negatives. It made almost impossible to enter Regal by normal circumstances. Only the Atlesian military would be able to enter, just barely, because he made the atmosphere around Regal thin. The only way into Regal was underground; a tunnel heavily defended that stretched twenty four kilometers, which was the length of dead man's land as the locals stared calling it.

Now what about the airport you say, simple he pressurized a flight path for emergencies. The total population of Regal was one thousand four hundred fifty three with ten more on the way. He chuckled at that thought. He walked down the main road, it was paved which was rare in Faunus settlements. He is walking toward the town hall to discuss some important thing with the Mayor and the town Council. He likes to make sure that the locals know about what changes he was going to make first. That most common reason the Faunus of the town like him, he asked them before he did things. The Schnee Dust Company tried to take over the town, key word tried. That was before he decided to make Dead Man's Land and SDC decided best to leave Regal due to freaky weather. That was another reason the Faunus loved him. He then heard an eerily familiar sound in the distance, Rotor blades.

He hadn't that sound since Earth. He looked up and saw four King stallions descending through the pressurized tunnel he made. His eyes widened and ran towards the airport with great strife. All four Stallions landed and what poured out were soldiers and Scientists, now that confused him.

The Faunus looked at them with hatred but at the sight of Markus they backed off. The Lead soldier saw him as a figure of authority.

"How in the hell did you know about the pressurized strip of air?" Markus asked with curiosity.

"Markus Henderson … we paid a good sum of money off to the traders that sell to Regal, I'm Major Anne Romanoff of the United Earth Military," the major introduced herself. "Our satellites spotted this peculiar spot. Mind explaining son?"

"How are earth forces here on Remnant?"

"That is complicated."

"Well to explain the current state of Regal, it is my semblance; Terraforming."

"NASA would really like to get their hands on you, son."

"What are going to do to the people?"

The Major simply chuckled; her cold blue eyes stared at him with mirth.

"These proud marines here are to protect the Faunus, correct sergeant Gomirez?"

"MAM, YES MAM," replied sergeant Gomirez.

"Good," Romanoff said. "I'd like to take you with me but a certain someone would like to meet you, Doctor Jackson."

A woman in lab coat step off the Stallion to the left of them, Dr. Jackson walked up to them with a clipboard. She looked in her late thirties and had an aged but beautiful face. She had grey stormy eyes, princess blonde hair and a Californian tan. She looked towards the Faunus with a look of curiosity and pity. But when he studied her face more clearly she saw the look of an angered mother behind the masked.

"You have an interesting ability, Mr. Henderson. I'm Doctor Annabeth Jackson, I work with NASA," said the doctor.

"Let me guess you want me to a lab rat?"

"No, Mister Henderson simple I want you to come and fix a problem."

"What problem is this?"

"We launched a few hydrogen based nuclear bombs at spawning grounds in Menagerie we did it a little too close to the locals and radiation is affecting them. Come with us, and we could set up a satellite dish."

"Mister Markus, what is a satellite dish," a rabbit Faunus child asked. Markus simply smirked.

"Very good things for Regal," Markus replied. "Alright I'm in."
