9:30 PM.
Slums of Dragonshine.
The nightfall has seen its blight, due to the invasion. The environmental control center failed to respond, thus leaving the fortress city defenseless against a great blizzard that was recorded to leave the city in ruins. Everything was nearly blind, weaker buildings were being carried away by 165 mph winds. Also to the EMP had also caused massive failures to the city's emergency protocols. No mechanical unit was there to repair or protect the area. Communications was up again, but how long? All the US knew of something more deadly that destroyed most of the city.
"Hey! Over here!" A police officer was heard from a police station. It was already barricaded with the materials to withstand this type of blizzard if the city's environmental systems fail.
"Hold on. There's no way across, I gotta find something." Lei sees that there's a giant hole down there. Her view was from a window of an abandoned store.
"Here's a rope to get across. Hurry, Alliance soldiers will be here in no time flat." The officer replied. She grabs it and moves over the gap.
As she gets to the other side, she was hit with a pin perfect arrow to the chest, she falls to the street that wasn't broken. The officers rushed outside and grabs her. They quickly hid as they went back inside. She's barely alive at this point.
"Is she okay?" One of the civilians asked.
"No good, arrow had gone and exited the left lung. We need to stop the bleeding and figure out something." An medic replied.
"What did she come from?"
"Royal Army with the Marines' uniform"
"Looks tired, she woke up an hour ago."
"Just get to the damn table."
After what seemed to be forever installing the suit.
7:10 AM
"Merrikian Zonlic 7.5 installation successful. Tutorial not available." A voice sounds through her head.
"Huh?!" Lei suddenly wakes up. She looks at her hands, it was armored. And she looked down and all of her body, except the head was covered by the suit. This was the MCRS.
"Hold the dang phone. Why am I in this?" She started to panic.
"Due to fatal body damage. The suit has been installed to enhance performance and prevented your death." The suit's CPU answered.
"I don't know shit about this thing. Can't you get this thing off and show me to someone I KNOW of running this thing?" She replied.
"The nano-titanium that has repaired the wound hasn't really saved you that much. It has only replaced your damaged heart. Shutting down the system will cause immediate termination." The CPU shows that her heart is gone, any natural self-reparing fluids are not responding, causing it to remain in a critically damaged state. Shutting it down will kill her.
"Fine..." Lei continues, whatever new things what she may learn from the suit.
When she looks around the police station, strange vegetation was coming through the walls. Power was out everywhere. But when she exited the building. Dragonshrine was now a ruin. There's no buildings, literally, just nothing. And the mountains peaks remained snow-covered, but the ground changed into a jungle.
"Umm... Kun-Lai doesn't look like a jungle. But is anyone out there at all?" She asked as she stares at the distance.
"Long range communications are terminated since 20 plus years ago."
"Wait, What!?" She replied.
Time Date: December 31, 2163.
"This place shouldn't be like this, in fact. Why did you take days to install this thing?"
"Unknown class VXII radiation was detected at 10:00 AM during the battle of Dragonshrine when allied forces returned to reclaim, the energy was released with 600 million megatrons worth of electric plasma from an source deep within the crust. It resulted in extermination of all bio-forms and transforming the environment, except the MCRS was augmented by celestial sources that caused the continued survival of the user."
"But however, the suit's combat and tactical systems is outdated. You'll need an IT Chief that has been trained with updating power suits. Due to unknown alien mechanical soldiers on-site. You'll need to avoid all combat from the time being. The nearest one is about sixty miles from the current location."
She goes into the jungle floor, full of familiar creatures on Earth and Azeroth, then unrecognized animals that seemed to be somewhat off-world. The map was distorted, nothing like the original location back then.
Fortress B-Zero-Eight. Twenty Miles from Dragonshrine, Plateau Cliffside.
8:30 AM.
"Fuck me, you just lied. I thought that the nearest base was sixty miles?" Lei saw a base, full of USMC troops.
"The heck?" A soldier saw her from a distance.
"Great... Better hope they don't shoot-" She said, then interrupted by the stinging electricity as she fell down.
Then, while they were dragging her into the fortress. The soldiers realise that the suit belonged to their flag. "Huh. Her suit's a bit old, but bio-readings is normal and she came from the Zone Zero? Nothing comes out but those strange aliens." The IT engineer inspected the suit.
"Half of the data came from the siege of Dragonshrine. That's where the nuclear detonation occured, but nothing fleshy is supposed to survive the volume of intense radiation. I would say that the suit's counter-measures has no chance of surviving something like that, but the CPU's fully intact." The major replied.
"Check the pandaren's neural implants and the suit, make sure that there's no viral or cyber infection."
As they placed her inside the cryo pod, data analysis, material statistics and surgical scanning came through those computers, all in an very advanced manor of math. For the colleges these days, if someone wanted to take courses in military data handling in the MCRS. That person will have to get only a master's degree, nothing lower than that. The handling must be perfect at all ability. The suit's CPU, combat reflexes and material placement had to be on-point if the users must have to adapt to certain missions. Tactical data of objectives and layout must be constantly updated to Special Forces or recon teams operating the suit.
"Okay. Her brain isn't showing any infection. But the CPU knew of the map of the locations within Zone Zero. Materials aren't damaged but the nano-mesh bends slowly than normal. All suit activity isn't infected with any alien encryptions or voices. Everything works fine." One of the IT Chiefs finished scanning the soldier. Nothing's wrong with her brain, suit's just a little old.
"Clean and re-model the suit. We'll explain how did she came out of Zone Zero without dying."
Just about at 12 PM.
"Update 7.9 is completed, powering up." The new CPU made its appearance. Sounding like an human, the other was an Tauren.
"Oh. Now you updated again. That sounds retarded." Lei woke up, now seeing crew mates operating the computers.
"Hey. If you're kinda ready to move. Just ask." A soldier spoke from a computer.
"JDCM feed online, all optic feeds are operational. Suit lock-up protocols released." The computer activates Lei's re-modeled suit. Same brand, except the armor is polished and colored grey. The nano-weave, which is the leather-based material is slightly more tight on her body. The titanium and all other rare metals make up for the metal armor. The visor's glass was shaped like a trident and suit's lighting is now yellow.
"Okay, video running at 60 frames. Move your head and arms just to check the calibrations." The IT engineer asked.
"Why's the visor look like a trident, but yet I have full screen?" Lei replied.
"Never mind that. The suit's showing no slow-downs, you should be free to proceed." After she was told that, she got up and moved out of the room.
New Objective: Meet Cmdr. James Wilson in the command center for new directive.
"How did you even survive the radiation, let alone the blast?" James asked.
"Don't know. But I was the survivor of the nuclear blast. This thing kept saying that I survived because of something mythic. Sounds stupid." She replied.
"Meh. Must be you didn't get infected at all. You probably must had been out of range when it went off." He answered back.
"Unless your suit cleared out radiation fast or stored it to resist it, this had happened a few times with other users. There's a job that we want you to do, like... Something outta Special Ops."
"You want me to do it? Sounds less bizarre than evading those things i saw in the mountains." She referenced those machines.
"That's something we can cover later. But here's how the job works." He gave the briefing data to her suit. This is most likely more accurate than speaking it out instead of talking.
(Security Clearance Level: Omega)
(Soldier Promoted: Sgt. Lei Thunderwisp - Redeployed into Delta Force)
(Operation Risk Level: Extremely High)
(Briefing: We have an exceptionally high signal traffic all over the Northwestern arm of the Milky Way, a combined signal within Exodarus territory. We may experience a total war if we may not reach to the planet)
(Our data has known to them as the draenei, a race of nomads that lost their original planet to the Burning Legion, then lost Draenor, also the home of the Orcs. The leadership and culture runs under a crusader order, worshipping prophets and gods. But in 2146, all known individuals of that race had been teleported to the farthest arm of the Galaxy. Called by more advanced draenei to a world more bigger than Earth)
(But this certain clan is the most biggest and advanced, showing signs of technology that is greater than our current data. And they have the means of crafting starships and auto-firing firearms. The clan had formed a unity of all but one set of a million people into an galactic army against the Alliance, Horde and the USMC. In hopes to bring a being into existance.)
(That where Special Forces shall come in, we're setting an offensive on their empire. One of the fifty moons above Zaradar XIV has a battlenet system. If we can get the starship destinations, combat deployment and movement. We may be able to counteract their attacks) -Mission Directive, JSOC-
"By the way. You're going to need training in that thing. After that, you're going to Washington DC for the reassignment." He had just replied, just no warning of that.
"You've just said that?" She replied.
Now... Where was Lei going? No where in fact, just a planet full of mind-controlled draenei citizens. That's what up. No one can try to think about it, just do the job.
