Chapter2: Contemplating my past
As the remaining members of the UAF continued to load into the ships I decided to sit down and reflect on my past life. I remembered mostly the times living in Malaysia. I had been a citizen of Malaysia, Ireland and Chile. However I spent most of my time in Malaysia's armed services and I guess that is how UAF found me. That or UAF remembered my grandfather's (HistoryLad) service in their ranks. He rose to staff sergeant rank before leaving UAF for RAT. I had retired from the Malaysian military and had been retired for almost 3 years before I got the note that changed my life.
I remembered the day perfectly. I had gotten home from my job as a firefighter when I checked my mailbox. In it was a message from my friend MarineXX. Apparently he really wanted me to join him in his clan RAF.
Dear ALMEC,
Hey there ALMEC I was wondering if you wanted to come out of retirement and help me and my commander Aizeon run the group RAF. Just give me a call if you would like to join. I will let you at the 3iC.
~RAF General MarineXX
I remembered throwing the note away and forgetting about it, oat least until I got that 1 message that changed my life. The warning. The day had started normally enough. I had just got home and was loading the computer when suddenly a bullet smashed through my window. I walked over to it and picked it up to observe it. I noticed a part of the bullet that I could take off. Naturally curiosity came over me and I opened it. Inside of it was a short crude written note.
We here at the institution are watching you. Watch your back. You may need help.
I was puzzled over it for a time until the helicopter battle.
I was flying over the desert in a Military helicopter; I got it for free after leaving the army. I noticed an unregistered helicopter behind. I attempted to contact it but all the pilot flying it said was, "the institute is here." After he said that 2 helicopters appeared behind him and began to open fire upon my helicopter. I rapidly dodged it, but the helicopter was shot. As it spiraled out of control I picked up my Uzi, which I used to always carry.
The helicopter crashed out the soft sand. I attempted to stand but discovered a large piece of steel jutting out of the side of my leg. I couldn't stand that is when-.
BOOM! A large explosion shook me awake. I looked at the plane next to mine as it was shot out of the sky.
"Listen up men. We have one shot. We will be landing in that secured area and from there we will advance onward."
