GATE- Story Of The Dead Man
CHAPTER 1: Joining the cause
Earth 1997, Unknown location:
They were in dark room somewhere underground. Igor Letieniev was looking around, he saw few of his fellow ex-soviet comrades that like him, decided to try his luck in privet sector, mostly mercenary and military grade merchants. He was part of the second group, first he thought that this was some government cleanup. But then he saw some of new petrol oligarchs, upper-medium or lower-high rang politicians from eastern Europe, mostly Visegrad Group and Romania, a couple from Yugoslavia. What was strange was fact that most of them were comfortable in this situation. What was looking at first like standard under the table business trip ended in some Chechen style kidnaping.
Then he saw a new figure appearing in the door. A tall men, Igor wasn't able to tell more, a bright light from behind the newcomer was blinding him.
"Welcome everybody, first of all I want to apologise everyone about my harsh invitation. You all will go to your homes in a couple of days, and an adequate sum of money will go to you, regardless if you will join our organisation or not. Of course those who will not want to hear our offer will not remember a thing." At that those who were relax before joint this mysterious man, the rest including Igor were still standing in front of the light.
"As you see when I was talking about our cause I wasn't kidding." When he was entering the room, with him walls of the room begin to shine in bright red emergency light. "You all were chosen to be part of our group, you may ask yourself what group this is. Well, look around, you may recognise some of your fellow comrades." Indeed Igor now was able to see everyone, many were from his old party but he recognized some of old communism opposition movements from Hungry, Poland and Balkans.
"As you see we are a strange mix of ideas and past, but one thing is common with us. We all lost. No matter our ideology, and who is now sitting in our nations as premier or president. We all have been conquered by west in all but name. Our leaders are DRUNKYARDS! OUR NATIONS ARE IN SHAMBLES AND POVERTY! NO MATTER IF YOU WERE IN UNION OR PACT, WE ALL, AS PATRIOTS OF OUR NATIONS ARE LOOKING IN GLOBAL ROBERY, EASTERN FACTORIES ARE SOLD TO WEST OR COLSED! BLOOD OF OUR FATHERS AND GRANDFATHERES WAS SPILLED TO DEFEND WORLD FROM EVIL AND DESTRACION OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION AND WHAT DID THE WEST? THEY SOLD US FOR THE HIGHEST BUYER!"
Igor was getting interested, in the end what west did when his grandfather and his family was starving to death during Big Hunger in Ukraine? Or when his father was in Soviet penal battalion during WW2. He had to join the party to provide for him, Soviet Union wasn't known for helping crippled veterans, especially when they came from P.B. Just luck and the fact that his mother's father was high ranking NKWD, later KGB officer give him commanding position in command group South. A lot of equipment that he was now selling to old soviet provinces or to Middle East were from his old military bases located in old Turkman Republic, but they will run dry eventually.
"What we want is simple! We want our dignity back! We want bright future for our children and for them to be proud to be from where they will be!" At that Igor saw people round him walking to joint to group of already initiated.
"I won't lie, there will be casualties, many will die. From us and innocent but our goal will be achieved! Our action won't be visible from the start but we already achieved much! Even now we are creating stability in the region, soldiers from our nations are fighting alongside not against one another! What I am asking you is simple. I want everything what you can spare, I want you to create this dream, this future with us. I see that some of you are willing to hear more, for that I want to thank you all, for the rest I understand that I am asking for a lot and that you need time to think this thru. For those who want to leave now, I am asking to rise your hand, rest will have 2 days to decide what they want to do." With that Igor was left in the room with a dozen of people. Four rise their hands and were taken out of room. He was sure to remember faces of those, he wanted to check what happened to them after his time will end and he give his answer.
Soo, that's it. First chapter of my story. Please tell me if you are interested with it. A word about the title, you will know why I had chosen it in, I hope near future. Also I'm jumping into a deep water here buy I really want to write this to the end. I will be very glad if you bring some ideas to the story!
