Chapter 1
Location: outpost 17-A (Highground)
One year after the destruction on the present
"Sir, what do you suggest we do?" "Sage, I don't know," said Wash.
"Agent Washington, I suggest we try to get power on again."
"Good Idea, sage. Try to get power back to the terminal. While
Sage was working on the terminal, Washington was working
on the mongoose. "Sir, I have the terminal powered up." "Good."
There was a bang on the door. "What the hell was that?" Wash
asked. "It's California, sir. Shall I let him in?" "Sage, let California
in please." Sage opened the gate.
Location: Blood Gulch outpost # 1 (red base)
One year before the destruction of the present
Sarge aimed the shotgun at the ceiling and fired off a round. "What the
fuck?!" Simmons said, falling out of bed. He looked up and
saw Sarge in his armor. "Sir," Simmons said as he was getting up,
"Is there a reason why we're up at 7:00 in the morning? Why isn't Grif up yet?" "He is. He's talking with the new recruit." "New Recruit! Why didn't you say so?" Simmons rushed to get his armor on. He grabbed his assault rifle and hurried outside. Grif was talking with the rookie when Simmons appeared. "Hi, I'm Jenny," she said. Simmons just stood there.
Meanwhile on the other side of the canyon, Tucker was making his way to red base.
"Hey guys, I heard Sarge's shotgun go off over the phone. Is everyone ok?" Tucker's guess was that Simmons lost his train of thought.
Simmons p.o.v.
I stared at Jenny. I couldn't believe it. Just last month, the blues got a new member.
when Jenny took her helmet off, I was surprised. I expected her to look mean, just like Tex. I was blushing under my helmet. Tucker, who just arrived, tapped my helmet.
"Hello? What happened?" I snapped out of it. I then took my helmet off.
"Nothing."
"Well, I heard Sarge's shotgun go off over the phone."
"Oh that, that was my wake-up call."
Grif, sensing that he missed something, said, "Tucker, why the fuck are you here."
"I got a call from Sarge to get over here." "Oh ok……hey Sarge," Grif said as he went into the base. "So………what's going on?" "Nothing!" I said automatically. Jenny and Tucker looked at each other. Jenny then looked at me weirdly.
Normal p.o.v.
Simmons looked at Jenny. "What?" "I didn't say anything," Jenny said. She sounded angry. "Ok, well since I'm second in charge, I'll show you around." Jenny followed Simmons as Tucker went back to blue base and old the others. "The rooms are in order form left to right. Sarge, mine, Grif, and Donut." "Ok." "Well Sarge, Girf and Donut don't have room, and I have the biggest so……," Simmons said. Great. Jenny thought.

"California, it's good to see you," said Washington, giving his old friend a warm welcome. "It's good to see you, too." They both hit there fist's together.
"So, how's the director?"
"He's doing well."
"So why did you come here. Usually when you come here, you have something important to tell me."
"Well, how can I put this?" California pointed in the air and Wash turned around. There was a vortex forming just above the base. Washington then turned, ran, and pulled the plug on Sage. "Washington, what the hell are you doing?!"
"Sage, I'll explain later, just get our shields-", Washington, California, and Sage were sucked into the vertex before Wash finished his sentence.
