Today is another sunny day at Nier, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming. Even though it is a great time for a picnic, the Machine present is increasing even higher in this region every day.
I Flip a bunch of reports about our troop's situation and the surrounding area
"Let's see... more area has been discovered, more land is being recovered, and another Advance group has managed to eliminate a group of machines 2 Km NorthEast, that's a bit far" I Continue reading until my expression turns dark "..Machine is less agitated if we do not fight them?"
"Is there a problem with it Commander?" Eva Asking me a question
"Ah Eva" I close the reports "Yeah if I am right who over controlling these Machines, is planning something Call me paranoid but I don't like our situation one bit" I answer with a Grim expression
Even though I try my best to stay hidden it won't be long before they find us and use it for whatever the machine plans.
So before we lose our momentum of surprise, we decide to strike first while it is hot and our first step is gathering information on the surrounding area.
And that's the Sniper team coming in
"Sniper team ready," a voice said to me when I select the unit
"Sniper team do you have a visual of the place?"
"Yes sir, and from the looks of it this is their base"
If the information and location are correct, we are now seeing one of the Resistance camps where android lives and if I am right the leader is none other than.
'Anemone' I can not believe I am seeing her, It was a surprise seeing a familiar character at that place
It was pretty Gamble sending 10 sniper teams to each of different directions on the unknown map to make it worse I can not let the Machine know about it, but it finally it bear fruit (except the desert, even if they are units from the game, they can still feel the heat) I could send a satellite to space so I can gather more information, but right now I am running a stealth mission and seeing a rocket only going to make us a target on both Machine and Androids
Of course, there was a risk of Red girl knowing our location, but I have a reason I have confidence in doing this
One of our Engineers has been gathering intel on the machine by taking the machine parts by part to understand more about our enemy, of course, that was very risky considering one mistake can bring a massive problem, but this is important intel on what kind of enemy we are facing and what their weaknesses are.
Our engineer said there is no scanner on the body or anything inside the machine, they conclude that they rely purely on visuals if they want to know what they look like, and from the look of it they seem to connect some kind of network, But the engineer also said that even if there is no scanner that does not mean we can let our guard down
Engineer also said that if we kill the machine the memory bank will be transferred back to some kind of network, Eva tried to find the so call Network but she is unable to find it because of the unknown Network or different technology, so in other words, we have to be careful of what we are doing
"Sir we spotted a person leaving but I am confused"
"Confuse with what?" I rise my eyebrow
"They are wearing gothic clothing?" He asked like he is in disbelief seeing it even his partner was confused
"Am I seeing right? why would they wear gothic clothing here? And I am seeing that they are wearing heels. Are my eyes seeing wrongs?" his other partner said
"You are not alone on this one, maybe a new trend that we don't know about?" He shrugs at him
while they idle talk from my point of view the person I Saw and am familiar with the description of gothic clothing is only one group that has it.
'YoRha huh' that means the Canon has not been started yet and we have a bit more time
I am currently sitting on the edge on top of the MARV while looking all over the area.
A squad of infantry from Rifle Squad, Missile squad, APC, Pitbull, and other units can be seen patrolling the area over the road every hour to guard the base, reason? because the Base is filled with unmanned vehicles and the number over hundred Vehicles with more vehicles in other areas that is hidden.
It has been a week at GDI Base, our base growth was getting insane high because I was very busy increasing our base cappebalites
when I notice which world we are in I was getting scared that I build an insane defense on all sides, Watchtower, guardian canon, AA Battery, sonic Emittery even a new defense Sam turret
Of course that requires power so each wall has its own power plant
Another thing I want is some insane firewall to block hackers from hacking and even a Disruption tower to hide our building, of course, this request confuse Eva but I insist anyways because I was scared of red girl, I don't know what will happen to my building if it suddenly changes color and I don't want to know if it really happens to me.
Anyways I have been clearing out the area with Zone trooper and Zone Raider cause they are extremely effective against those machines another reason I use those guys is that I hope they are not getting spotted as humans at first sight
'well they kind of enjoy their job anyways' I switch my camera from the sniper team to Zone trooper and Zone Raider that I sent for daily cleaning around the base
'And I am right' Sound of Gunshot and explosion can be heard in the video
(Zone trooper and Raider POV)
"YEAHHH"
*SMASH*
One of Zone troopers smashes the machine with a bare hand and the machine falls off
"These guys a lot easier than Nod," Zone trooper 1 said
"JETPACKS"
Zone Raider 2 flies from the sky and land on one of the machines instantly destroying it when landing
"They really are fragile" Zone Trooper said, while shooting his Railgun at Goliath tank instantly Penetrating it and destroying the vehicles.
"Nice shoot"
"Not yet, there's more coming!"
We saw 4 Goliath tanks with some machines behind them, leading the charge to us and beginning to shoot.
"That's a lot of Machines!"
"Who overkill the less have to clean the entire barracks!"
"Oh you are on"
They immediately run to the horde of machines while shooting their guns and laughing alongside
(Commander Pov)
'They sure are having fun right now' I smile wryly at seeing my troops doing that from my screen
While I was watching them playing another group was watching the show from the shadow without my notice
(? POV)
"Who are those armour people?" they Peek around the edge of the building.
"...I don't know, I never saw that armor and guns even though I have already lived for 236 years, we should report back to Anemone about our situation," One of the older androids observing the armored person
"Yeah let's do that" They nod at him and they leave quietly without anybody's notice
(Anemone Pov)
*Poof"
A stack of paper drop onto the table
"These are the next report Anemone," She said
I look over the report that she gave me and sigh at seeing it "...Another one?"
"Yes, we spotted another machine destroyed, no trace who over the other than some hole from gunshot" she shows me a picture of it
I sigh more at hearing this news again for this week
We have been receiving reports of the machines present has been decreasing around the region, we thought they were gathering themself to launch an attack but when the scout came back we spotted some machine was destroyed all over the area, the only conclusion is that there is another group that we don't know of and have been killing machine left and right, I have no clue if this is a good thing or a bad thing seeing them slaughtering machine.
While I was reading a report I saw a group of scouts that I send to find the anomaly coming to our room
"Anemone we have something to report," Random Android 1 said
"What is it?" I put the report down on the table
"We have found the reason for the decrease in machines around the region"
"Oh?" Finally, some intel "then don't make us wait and tell us"
"Well.. there is an armor group with a weird weapon 3 km west of here and they seem the reason for the decrease of Machine"
"And why is it weird?"
"They are using some kind of weapon that launches at great speed that when it hit, the machine was instantly destroyed, even Goliath was not spared"
I was beyond shocked when I heard this. 'A gun that can kill Goliath? I must not mess with who over they are, but that gun is extremely useful for our Resistance, maybe I can negotiate with them so I can buy the gun for myself?' I thought my self
I am not a stranger to negotiating parts and weapons to make sure my people are safe, I even trade parts with a machine led by Pascal just to make sure no threat can come to us. If I can get the blueprint and maybe even make allies of those groups, there is a possibility we have a fighting chance of killing the machine and possibly ending this war.
'...Ending the war? yeah right." I shake my useless thought and focus on what is in front of me
"Thanks for the report, you can go back to take a rest, you deserve it" they nod at me and begin to leave
"...What's your plan Anemone?" My advisor ask me
"Is not obvious? gather information about our little neighbor, gather the best android and let's go find this weird armor person"
"Understood" She saluted me and leave
After she leave the room and close the door, the room got quiet 'Hahh so tiring being a leader' I lean back on the chair 'I need a vacation if I have the time, but duty calls.' I stand up and prepare my guns
(Commander Pov)
"MARV WAITING FOR ORDER" I got out of a daze when I heard this
I look over at the guy beside me "No" I instantly shut down his request
"PLEASE LET ME KILL THEM" he shakes my body while crying
Zake, One of the first people who manned the MARV of Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicles. It is one of the most expensive but strongest vehicles in the whole GDI arsenal capable of Annihilating Machines that dare stand in it's own way and with it's heavy armor it is almost impossible to be defeated. MARV was original use to reclaim parts of Earth from the threat of Tiberium but now it is our trump card to face the machine.
Oh come you are an adult for God's sake "No means no, MARV are literally soo huge that you do not fit inside City and we are running on a stealth mission not aggressive," I took off his arms from my body "another thing MARV suppose to be our trump card, we can not spare a single MARV to lose until we know what we are facing"
The guy grumble while not looking at me 'Well can't blame him, his other member are having fun killing while this big guy is staying at our base not doing anything
"I thought you already have fun yesterday?" I still remember when he fight last time
(2 Days ago){Battlefield}
"YEAHHH" Zake Scream as he use the MARV to ram the vehicles to Goliath
"Hah, you are Soo small!"
"TASTE HOT Sonic!" Zake then slowly turn his Big gun at a group of machine
*BOOM*
Zake Shoot a Sonic that kills a group of Machines as the shot alone makes the entire Machine turn into debris leaving a trail of hole and smoke behind.
"HAHAHAHAHA"
while he is having fun killing machine I was in disbelieved Seeing him fight from the video
"...Who the fuck hire a psychopath to drive MARV was supposed to be a good idea?"
(Now)
"That was yesterday, I need my daily fight or I won't have energy," Zake says while not facing his face at me
As you can see he is a battle junkie In real life
I sigh at this and touch his shoulder "Don't worry there is going to be a fight sooner than you think and when that happened I am going to need every single one of you" I Reassure him so he does not get mad
The guy did not answer me but turned his head to me so I let go of my arms "But what are we really facing? you literally already build 5 MARV you do know 3 MARV can control an entire north Africa with it's power alone but you are just putting them in the dust right now"
'well he is right, there is literally 5 Marv here and more being built' I turn my head over the area again not looking at him
Currently, we are located on another vast land close to the ocean so I can build a Ship and Production of MARV because the place before was too tight so we need another place for Vehicles
EVA gives a suggestion to build another base for the Naval, so with her suggestion, we build another base close to the shore.
There is 2 Base right now, the Original base contains most of the Aircraft from Firehawk, Orca, and Hammerhead also the most secure place we have while being the main HQ and the second base or Naval base where most of the vehicles are made and store our vehicles like APC, Predator tank, Slingshot, Juggernaut, Even Mammoth tank, and MARV.
Of course, we don't forget to hide the base with the Disruption Tower on the bases.
I even plan to make a bigger Disruption Tower for future hiding, but I scrap that idea immediately seeing as we are running out of time, and the cost for such a huge Disruption tower and the electricity is not cheap either.
"I even know what their stronger unit is what was it you call it? Goliath tank? They are no different from the Scoripan tank when they shoot those laser even those Red Ball of Energy is soo slow that even my MARV can dodge those shots what are you soo scared about?" Zake keeps getting confused about my reason
"...I wish I know, now leave I am still busy" Zake stay quiet and looked at me but leave me alone
Once it stay quiet I got a call from my pad "Commander we have something to report"
"Go ahead" if I am right they are one of the Sniper teams surveying the area
I take advantage of the Sniper team's stealth capabilities and put them not too far from the HQ to alert us if any danger is going to come.
"We have found a local android made up of small 6 people while we are surveying the area. it seems they are some kind of scouts, and it is currently looking for something, what should we do?"
"..." 'what the fuck should I do, hundred of hours playing Command and conquer Kane wrath does not prepare me for this shit, I wish I was ready to meet them but not now
'What should I do? should I kick them out or let them in?' Each choice has it's own benefits and consequences but I must choose now for the future of GDI
With a bit of hesitation, I make up my mind a begin to speak
