"Hello, people of Modernia. I am your leader, President Begbavas Triston.

I come before you today to address an important issue regarding the recent government enforced limiting of travel and communication to the southern Modernian states. As I am sure many of you have heard by now, the disputes over working conditions in the factories to the south has quickly evolved into violent protests and riots from the workers.

It has come to our attention that many have been falsely led to believe that we have limited communications and travel to the south in order to hide our military’s supposedly “violent and unsavory” methods of dealing with the riots from the general public. As your leader, I would like to state that this is not the case. As a president dedicated to bringing a brighter future to our country, I guarantee that I would never resort to violence when a peaceful resolution exits as an alternative. I would like to stress the fact that these protests have grown unnecessarily violent, and our efforts to prevent travel to and from the south are to protect you, the Modernian people, from any harm that may befall you while we work to meet the worker’s demands.

When I inherited my father’s title of President, I swore to lead this country to greatness. To turn this humble island nation… Into a modern utopia. And keeping you safe, my fellow Modernians, is the most important part of doing that."

The Captain leads the general over to a door at the back of the assessment room. The General looks back at him and sneers
>You’ll regret this. You all will.”

>"I told you to stay quiet. Everyone up the stairs. We need to get to the General's helicopter if we plan on getting off this island."

"What about Terra?"

>"Someone grab her, we need to take her with us."

"Are you sure, sir? Isn't she only going to be trouble for us if she doesn't want to go through with this?"

>"You kids are the first and so far the only Soldiers trained to use JECT in the entire Modernian army. With the time it takes to train a soldier to use JECT without severe mental damage, it will be years before the Modernian Government has another functioning JECT squad if they lose you all now. We can't risk them using Terra against us later down the line."

Zack cocks his gun for what can only be assumed to be dramatic effect.
>"Haha, tough spot there. Terry isn't going to listen to us if we take her with us, but they're just going to use her to hunt us down if we leave her behind. I have an idea to bypass this potential issue altogether though. What do you say, Matty!?"
Zack steps out of line and aims his gun at Terra's head. She remains silent.

Told you that you should have knocked his teeth out. Fucker is insane and would kill any of you at the drop of a hat. He's just going along with this because he thinks it's amusing.

But hey, maybe she can be turned to your cause with some good old fashioned brainwashing. So just knock Zach the fuck out and then knock her out and drag them both along.

Oh, and that captain is even more naive than he seems. Why would they have only one test squad? Five people is a far too low number to be able to make a proper assessment of capabilities and possible side effects. If every 5th subject gets chronic headaches and headvoices it's hardly something that makes for good soldiers, or if they go crazy like zach. With just 5 people as a test group you can't be sure if it's something that it's a 40% chance of insanity and headaches or if it's a 0.04% chance.

So there's bound to be others like you out there.

Maybe they started out with 100 guys and had a 95% failure rate? Who knows. This project's extremely expensive for such a small country, I'd expect that they'd have to cut a lot of corners (small sample sizes, poor-quality equipment and personnel) which resulted in this R&D clusterfuck.

Well actually, there's seven of us. Mick and Twitch have been off to the side of Terra for a while, it's just that Mick doesn't ever really say much and Twitch is still kind of shocked by this whole situation. You still have a point though, but I don't really think we have the time to argue the details of Captain's plan.

Besides, If he went through the trouble to pull all this off I'm sure he's thought it out. Well, I'm pretty sure.

After a few attempts to pick her up with it on, Mick yanks off Terra’s backpack and manages to lift her off the ground.

“Zack, we clearly have a different idea of fun. Maybe this is all a game to you, but this isn’t how we’re going to play.”

Isaac, another Trainee, looks around nervously before speaking up.

Hey look at that. That's some very impressive shaped charges right there. General is standing up close to the explosion and he's not violently cut in half by shrapnel.

Ok, ask the captain what kind of secondary escape plan he has. Prepare for double facepalm as he reveals that there wasn't one.

Although it should be possible to get off the island the same way the rebel forces that landed there got to the place. So onwards to the combat. Ask the captain for some proper gear and then shoot every soldier in the place. Loot it with your new rebel friends and then get out of there.

God damn. He's even more incompetent than he appeared. You really should have just shot him immediatly.

Ok, ambush time. Step one. Knock the general the fuck out. Tie him to something and shove a live unpinned grenade into his mouth, make sure that springy thingy that needs to be held down to keep it from exploding is down. Possibly the captain should stay near the general.

Then you and your classmates take up positions out of view from the exit/entry. Wait until enough of the enemy has come out into view and then strike. Shoot the ones outside and throw a grenade into the entry/exit to clear it and then go through after it to take down anyone left in there.

Then grab the general again, make sure the grenade doesn't go off. And make your way down to whatever docks this place has and steal a boat.

Then I suggest you shoot the general and captain. Dump their bodies in the ocean. Say fuck you to this entire conflict and go seek asylum at some place.

Alright, time to set up defensive positions, and send someone to verify that enemies are incoming. The General may be bluffing about the troops in order to make us wait here or panic or something.

Matt, shoot the General in the head. Give Terra to the Captain, tell the others to loot the bodies. From there on gather the following information: can the door be effectively barricaded with the bodies, can the walls be scaled down, is the area around the explosion damaged, and how much offensive power do you have at your disposal.

The rebels are a fucking ineffectual joke. The government is going to take us apart piece by piece to get back their enhancements anyway and report this class as failed.

Here's another plan... If nothing else seems possible for escape. Matt, kill the General. Then arrest the Captain for the crimes of mutiny and murdering the General and the two other soldiers. Ask him to take the fall so the rest of you can make your own way to freedom. If he disagrees... then you unfortunately couldn't capture the captain alive.

Listen, there’s a bunch of soldiers coming this way, but I think you can take them. I’ve trained you for this, so I’m confident in your abilities. After that we can meet up with the other rebels outside, and escape with the General on one of the boats without any further problems. Just stick with me, and everything will be okay kids, understand? As long as I am with you, nothing bad will happen. I promise.”

Set up an ambush behind and around the exit. Aks the captain to stand somewhere close to the corpse and surrender to lure them out. Open fire when they're out in the open and then toss a grenade through the door and follow up closely after the explosion. Kill any that are remaining and loot the bodies. That way you should be able to get some better weapons and maybe some body armour.

Whoa... now it almost sounds like...a voice. can't make out what it's saying but... are there voices in my head?

"Uugh..."

>"What is it?"

"Hey uh... there's this noise in my head. At first it sounded like buzzing, but now I think I'm hearing a voice or something."

>"Ooh, voices? What are they saying?"

"I'm serious. I think there might be voices in my head."

>"Those bogus mental augs you had Doctor Pank install are probably acting up. That's what you get for letting a fake doctor perform fucking brain surgery on you to install a counterfeit military augmentation."

"Thanks a lot. You're really helpful. Asshole."

>"Hey! Nothing I can do about it, I’m smart enough to know better than to mess around with augmentations! Just try to ignore it for now. Have Pank take a look at it when you get back to base."

“Yeah, I…”

>>227193
…what? I can just barely…

“Hey, I think we should be careful here. What if someone is waiting for us up there?”

>“What, you think all the soldier hid the on roof or something?”

“Listen…I don’t know, but something tells me we need to be on guard.”

>"Well, if you say so..."

Man what is…

Hnng... what just happened? Was I... Inside of someone's head?

>"Yes, I have a few grenades in my jacket. Everyone stand back."

>"Uhm... C-c-captain? Is Matt okay? He s-seems a bit..."

"...Wait, don't!"

>"But you just said-"

"I know what I said, but the guys coming up the stairs aren't soldiers! They're rebels!"

Matt, one of the men down the stairwell is Gustav Nazarrio, he has augmentations similar to yours. Call out to him by name and ask that he and his friend not fire on you.

Sweet, we can hop over to other dudes with mental implants. This makes for some interesting possibilites.

You kids should probably stay back and let the captain talk to his fellow rebels. Then you can get off this island and start your new lives. They're going to be interesting. Vast periods of uncertain boredom punctuated by moments of extreme terror.

“Yes. At least I think they’re rebels. I think I might have just… tapped into some other guy’s mental aug or something… someone named Gustav. He‘s coming up the stairs.”

also we need to evac right the fuck now, they are about to bomb the place or something. it's why all the guards are people they don't care about losing.

The Captain motions for the two men to come over. Both men lower their weapons and come out on to the roof. He shakes hands with one of the men.
>“Hey kids! Let me introduce you to two great men. They are friends to me, friends to the revolution, and soon enough they will be friends to you as well. This is Carmine Readshert, and the man in the bandana is Gustav Nazarrio. I’m glad to see that you two made out alright. Did you guys have much trouble making it up here?”

Nazarrio looks over his shoulder nervously
>“No. We didn’t. That’s the thing- there’s hardly anyone here. I’m starting to think they were long gone long before we got here. Do you think they knew we were coming?”

>“Uh… funny story about that…”

Man, I don’t know what happened there. Usually I get little headaches after a bit of shooting, but I’ve never… done whatever that was I just did. Heck, I didn’t even know mental augs could tap into other mental augs’ frequencies. The headaches have been a lot worse since you guys showed up, too. It’s like I’m blanking out when I shoot, and it takes me a few seconds to figure out what happened. In fact, I’m kinda still recovering from that last… oh god.

i don't think it was the real general. he was a fake for a trap.

anyway, everyone evac to the boats.

No. 229686 ID: 644ca1

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the real general, they knew what you guys were up to after all, so why would they risk a general?

This kind of thing happens all the time to us, sometimes on systems that don't even have any actual wireless capabilities.

>>229680
No, you shot somebody who looked like him. Speaking of which, step away from the body. They might have put a bomb in his implants as a failsafe.

It was him or you. If he had wanted to stay alive then he shouldn't have attacked. Simple as that.

Now lets get the fuck off of this island. After all that's what you have been after.

Maybe it wasn't really the General, but that doesn't change the fact that I just killed someone.

Matt's panicking catches Carmine's attention
>"Hey, what is that kid getting so… Jesus fucking Christ Dell, that better not be who I think it is laying in a pool of his own blood over there!”

>“I… I was just about to tell you that we had a little, uh, problem with the plan.”

>“This is not a fucking problem Dell. Running out of eggs when you’re making an omelet is a problem. This is a fucking disaster. Kevalrr is dead! How the fuck does someone manage to botch a kidnapping so badly that it becomes an assassination?”

>“Wait a minute Carmine, It probably wasn’t even Kevlarr! If they knew we were coming, why would they send the real Kevlarr?”

>“You better hope that wasn’t the real Kevlarr, for your sake.”

Yeah, you're right. We gotta get out of here. Now.

“…Are we just about ready to go? I... really don't feel like sticking around much longer.”

>“Kid’s right, we need to move.”
The Captain and Carmine nod in agreement, and the group head back over towards the stairs.

Hey, this Gustav guy… I was in his head a minute ago. Think I should ask him about that? Maybe he knows what just happened.
>>
No. 229977 ID: 97cb33

i guess so, ask if his augs have been reset and stuff.

also, i just want you to know matt, they were training you as a soldier, you weren't going to shoot targets for the rest of your life. one day they would of sent you out into the field and ordered you to shoot civilians. so while you may feel conflicted know that you made the right choice.

Nah don't ask him about it. Chances are he knows even less than you do, and if he finds out about it then that could lead to all sorts of problems. Like him being paranoid that you can hear his thoughts and hating you for it, or them pushing you to do it again even though you don't know how to do it.

Lets just get out of this place now and see what they have going.
