02:04 Federal Republic of Germany.

"Almost four hours ago, one of our reconnaissance satellites that we have been using to track alien activities went dark. Initially we assumed it had been intercepted by an extra terrestrial craft, however, images sent from the satellite before it went off the air showed something... unusual..." Bradford paused before continuing, trying to gauge the reaction of the audience. Noticing the tired and annoyed looks on everyone's faces, he decided to cut to the chase.

"They showed a massive energy spike from a location within the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan."

Foxtrot squad was all in attendance, even Cpl Bamford had been wheeled in from the medical bay, his leg showing pink scarring around the metal socket for his new leg. The Loli there as well, although like half the squad, she was asleep again.

> Molest Loli

You reach over to caress the sleeping loli warmly, realizing with a jerk that the part of her that your caressing is her ass. Too late. She mumbles in her sleep "Vasa... not now... Kris is sleeping..." opens her eyes slowly, taking a moment to realizes what she said, and blushing furiously at you.

With a rather shocked expression, Bradford continues his Briefing.
"The site in question, appears to be a military facility that has been leased by the Russian Government since the collapse of the Soviet Union. What is of note however, is that up until 1984, this facility was home to the Terra-3 Anti-Satellite Laser program. In light of this as well as the... recent level of... cooperation... with the Russian Government, we are dispatching a covert team to investigate the site"

Your not entirely sure how to take an attempt by a 14 year old to molest another 14 year old, you make a note to keep an eye on them in the future. You feel that despite them being the same age, that the Japanese girl has no idea what she is getting into...

Up front, Bamford finishes droning on, gesturing to an balding man with classes who he refers to as a Dr Shen

" As you may know, we use the alien element Elerium to power our laser based weapons, due to the vast energy requirements for these weapons. However, as you may also know, the Alien invaders are our only source for this material. This supply bottleneck has meant that we have only be able to deploy laser weapons on a very small scale basis, with only two teams able to field them. " Dr Shen explains, watching as half the room succumbs into a deeper slumber
You however, raise your hand "Vut the weapons of the paramilitaries we... elimitated.. the last time we vere in the Rodina?"

He looks surprised at 1. your actually awake, 2. Understood what he said, and 3. Actually had something intelligent to add. He did not like this. Normally Soldiers simply nodded and agreed with him when he handed them dangerously unstable weapons. He made a mental note to make sure that this soldier was not allowed access to any 'prototypes' for the foreseeable future.
"Errr...Yes... We however, have yet to fully understand the process they use in their weapons charge capacitors due to the severe workload imposed on our engineers. Regardless, it appears likely that if this facility is the source of the weapon that destroyed the satellite, then whoever controls it has succeeded in overcoming the power requirements problems for an anti-orbital laser weapons. This either means that they have vast reserves of the Elerium substance, or have found another solution to the power problem" he quickly finishes, glancing over to Bradford for the rest of the Briefing.

"Since our last mission involving the Russian Government, we are keen to avoid... incidents, as the facility that was destroyed turned out to be somewhat valuable to certain members of the State Duma. As a result, we're sending two of you in with false identities to ascertain the nature of the facility. And since only two members of X-Com can actually speak Russian" he glances over at you and Loli "We're sending you two in. Everyone else, your going to be standing off in the skyranger as emergency backup. Any Questions"

>>35629120
He survived The Zone with Loli, that's more than enough to qualify him for training fresh fodder and never stepping foot outside the base every again.

I imagine Kris does the same, going home to Vasa each night with stories of rookies shennanigans around the base to talk about over dinner.

"Strictly non-lethal. Ideally both of you are going to be getting in and out without anyone noticing anything is wrong. If you have to kill someone, you need to dispose of the body or make it look like an accident. Unless you know, it turns out the place is filled with thin men, then just let Loli do her thing.

With that, the Briefing ends and you and loli are dispatched off to the armory for your equipment. For once, your not getting your standard loadout the armorer explains, handing over a Russian Colonels uniform to you, and a warrant officer uniform to loli.
Weapons wise, you each get a Makarov PMM, two grenades and a fighting knife. Loli then demands four more knives, which are quickly handed over. A little too quickly actually...

Alongside the disguses and your equipment, he hands you two dossiers, one on your cover identity, in your case Senior Colonel Alexei Grigorevich Rodin of the 201st Motor Rifle Division, and one containing a short introduction to the facility.

"Built in the early 1970's the facility served as part of the ICBM test range for the Soviet Union and was selected for the testing site of the 'Terra-3' ASAT laser weapon. Intelligence suggested that the weapon never worked, due to the inability of the USSR to produce a power source capable of reaching out into space. Following the facility being shut down in 1984 for an unknown reason, the soviet and later Russian governments, posted a brigade to the local area to 'ensure state secrets'. Even following the independence of Kazakhstan, the Russian military continued to have a presence in the area. "


Four hours later, your driving a beaten up GAZ truck through the desert. Dawn is breaking over the horizon, waking Loli from her slumbers in the passenger seat next to you.

While I think GAZ should be sturdy enough to endure the hits, there's no point in testing.

>>35629300

Calling it now, the explanation we give for why things went wrong will be 'Someone knocked over the vodka, and then the guns came out. Explosions just sorta started happening after that.'

>Ask Loli how she came into X-Com

Dodging your car deftly between the potholes, you try to start up a conversation with the girl next to you.
"So how did you come to be doing all this?"
"For fun silly!" She beams, although the look in her eyes when she says 'fun' makes part of your soul freeze.
"Fun? Such as?"
"Well this one time me and some friends met some mean men in a tank, which turned out to have a soul, which they didnt know, so we stole her and ran over some stuff and then helped some men who smelled of herbs and then I tried to make friends with a giant, but he was mean and carried me away"
"Okay.... So.... has the one they called Dave given you a bunch of pills recently?"
"Dave? Oh no, He's a meanie. Well not really, He can be nice, but he's mean when he doesn't explain anything to me. Like that one time my brother. My Brother's nice, he got me chocolate sometime, you should meet him"

"Yay! Onii-Chan you can come out now!"

"FUCKCRAPSHITSFUCKMOTHERFUCKINGWHATFUCK..." You cry at the voice behind you, losing control of the car long enough for the front right tire to drop into one of the potholes you were avoiding. The impact jerks the wheel to the right, causing the vehicle to flip and roll.

For a second, you see what looks like a blonde boy with a shocked look on his face fly past you out of the windscreen before vanishing from sight as the vehicle rolls again. You comes to a halt, having done three full rolls, the car lands back on its wheels.
The engine still running and your somehow unhurt, although Loli, being the headstrong girl she is, didn't put on her seatbelt, managing to brain herself off the dashboard.

Taking a moment to check on the now unconscious Loli, you decide that it would be a good idea to get her some medical attention, and since the objective is only a couple miles away ahead of you.

You press the gas. The car takes off. Russian engineering at its finest.

Coming to up to the facility, you see a twelve foot high curtain wall of concrete surrounding the base, complete with watchtowers and machine guns. You drive up to the entrance, waving over at the guard, who quickly unslings his assault rifle and jogs over to your battered vehicle, Cleary concerned.

"Private! My companion is hurt! Quickly, let me in so that I can take her to the infirmary!" You call out to him through the broken window of the car.
"But Comrade Colonel Sir! We are not allowed to let anyone into the Facility without proper clearance!" he replies nervously, not used to addressing such seniors officers directly.
As you dig in your jacket pocket for your false papers, you take a moment to look over the guard. Something appears wrong...

You dismiss the subtle feeling of wrongness as you hand over your papers, he quickly shuffles through them.
"Sorry Sir... I don't recognize these papers..." He gestures over to one of his comrades "I need to call my commander, Comrade Oleg here will tend to your companion"

Seeing the guards in the towers above you cover your vehicle with their weapons, things are not looking good....

The llamas enjoyed their human meal. They danced with their pink troll masters.
A special magic drink was prepared out of the human bones after the party. This magic drink was then given to the loyal llamas- it allowed them to grow wings and special lungs. The hoard of llamas then proceeded to fly to the sun...they are now llamas on the sun!

You keep you hands on the wheel, your knuckles white as the medic pulls Loli out of the back seat and carefully lays her down. The guard seems to be having a moment of weakness, on one hand, he has orders not to let anyone pass without proper althorisation, on the other, you are a senior officer, someone who could make his life very very difficult without much trouble.

In either case, the decision is made for him, as his Lieutenant comes out, obviously surprised at a vistor at such an early hour. He talks to the guard for a moment before coming over to the vehicle, documents in hand.

Before you speak, you interrupt him "Well? Are you going to let my aide bleed to death on the road while i wait for your stupid private to learn to read?!" You yell at him from your seat, spittle from your mouth causing him to flinch

"My apologies comrade colonel, but there appears to be a problem with your papers. Is it possible you gave us the wrong documents? From the accident you had, it is likely they were misplaced inside the vehicle?"

Its only then, when talking to this man, it finally hits you. The use of the word "Comrade" and the insignia that is everywhere, even on this officers hat... That old insignia, that you thought you would never see again after '91.

"I... I must have given you the wrong papers, comrade, forgive this old man's confusion. We rolled the car down the road... Please, my name is Captain Ivanovich Sergatov of the GRU 2nd Intelligence Directorate." you feign weakness as the KGB lieutenant smiles, enjoying having a senior officer bow down to him for once.
"And this uniform you have sir? It is a colonels uniform?" He asks, acting like he has you backed into a corner.
"It is a disguise, I am here on official business from my normal post in Kabul. it is a maskorovka, to throw off capitalist spies"
"Very well comrade major, please come with me, your Aide will be cared to in the infirmary"

Twenty minutes later, your sitting outside of the base commanders office, a cup of awful coffee in your hand and under armed guard. The Lieutenant is inside, probably explaining to the commander how his heroic actions both protected the base and ensured that the major's aide was cared for.

The lieutenant stepped out and the guards gestured gently, but firmly that you should go inside the office.

Inside, your greeted by a bear of a man, with the insignia of a general of strategic rocket troops. Probably a career desk officer. The guards however, take up position behind you, astride the door. Rifles at the read should you attempt something.

"So Major... Sergatov? I am General Dmitry Yazov. Why are you here at my facility?" He asks, looking down at you over the rims of his glasses. You Know that name... from somewhere

" Major Ivanovich Sergatov, GRU. Sir."

"I know a Major Sergatov of the GRU. You are not him" He simply states, guards raising their weapons behind you. Its only then you realize you know this man, part of your mind insists it cant be. He vanished more than thirty years ago...

"Sir... I...?" you stammer, in shock at seeing someone from so long ago, alive and in the flesh once again.

"Guards! Take him to the detention block. Have our political 'comrades' work him over." He barks to the men behind you, one of which thumps the flat of his rifles buttstock against your head, surrounding you in blackness.
Some time later you come, your stripped down to your trousers and tied to a chair, fresh welts and bruises cover your torso from the beating the guards gave you on the way. Next to you, is Loli, a bandage covers where her forehead hit the dashboard. She's awake, although she looks a bit groggy.
And standing in front of you, is a small effeminate blonde boy dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.

"Loli? are you ok?" you ask, trying to convey the concern in your voice.
"I remember sparkles and fluffy and doggy. I miss doggy. And Mr Stabby"
"Good enough" She's obviously got a concussion, on the other hand, your still tied to chairs.
The boy in front of you interrupts your trail of thought however
"Well... that was... fun?"

"What part about that was in any way fun? Where the hell are we?"

"Erm... well..." he stammers, obviously not used to being the center of attention. Infact, he's trying to edge towards the door now. "it might be a bit more... well... when..."

"When?" you ask, trying to put things together in your head.

"Something he is wrong... very wrong... I think loli can feel it too. The last time I felt this was back in the zone, when time bended on itself..."

Before he can finish however, the door slams open, and a tall lanky man strides in, with the uniform of a KGB Colonel. As the door slammed open, the young boy you were talking to literally vanishes. A neat trick. Pity he didn't untie you first.

Taking a seat across from you. The man opens a case, pulls out what looks like the false papers you handed over and simply states "Explain"

"It is a false document. Nothing more." You state in a confidant manner.
He takes a moment to consider this, before standing up and walking over to loli. Looking down at her.
"This girl is important to you? Yes? good."

In one smooth movement he brings his fist hard against her face, knocking out two teeth and making loli scream out in pain.

"IllKILLYOUMEANASSHOFUCK" Loli screams at him in rage, spitting blood over his neatly pressed uniform.

"Children should be seen and not heard" he says quietly before bringing his fist into loli's gut to silence her.

As he walks to you, there is a deep rumble, and the lights dim. This halts the officer for a moment, he looks up quickly before leaving the room, in such a rush the door is open. As he leaves, you hear more explosions and gunfire from outside.

You take your chance, shifting your weight to your left, you hook your arm around the back of the chair and lean forward.
Red hot pain shoots though your arm as you dislocate your shoulder joint and pull your arms over your head. Your arms free, you shift your weight again to knock you and the chair to the ground, nicely popping your arm back into your socket. You remove the binds from your hands, only to see the boy gently lifting loli from her chair, pulling her gently towards the door.

Cheers for the thread, OP.

>>35631909
Satellite indicated spooky shit here. Russians could be doing spooky shit and just not tell anyone and still support the Project officially, or a group within the Russian government could be doing shit here that the rest don't know about, or they could have gotten infiltrated by xenos.

Also a big factor is that they might have tech that xcom wants. So yeah.

>>35632045
If that's the case, then it should be the Council which decides it needs investigating after they've investigated it right?
XCOM doesn't do everything after all.

>>35632063
I doubt the russians would be willing to give the Council any info on why their supposedly decommissioned ASAT weapon just killed one of our satellites

>>35632063
Sure, but let's just assume that this XCOM likes to do things that the Council didn't ask them to do because the individual members care more about themselves so their goals don't always align with those of XCOM. Then you have a situation where you might try to operate against the guys who are paying you, hoping they won't figure out you did it.

Everyfuckingsinglefucking time there was an EXALT covert mission in my last playthrough, it was in fuckmothering russia

>>35632063
who do you think sent XCOM in?

>>35632063
Alternatively, it's like we're sending a covert agent to sniff out an EXALT base in XCOM: EW

>>35632109
The council is every single other nation in the world, defying them is essentially "You're put against the entire world's nukes up against your face, and ask for them to press the button"

>>35632124
Small things? Sure, but that's the sort of shit XCOM wouldn't be interested in.
We're talking about satellites destroying shit, which the COUNCIL is VERY interested in.

>>35632162
Thing is though, EXALT cells were already discovered before that. What we're doing is the pre-EXALT covert mission, it's essentially the "Spend $50 to find all EXALT cells" shit

>>35632162
That's exactly what we're doing, it's like that anon didn't read what Bradford said at all

>>35632193
See: >>35628690
>In light of this as well as the... recent level of... cooperation... with the Russian Government, we are dispatching a covert team to investigate the site"
Why aren't they cooperating?
That's none of XCOM's business unless the Council calls them in, when they discover actual evidence of EXALT/Aliens/Etc.

And about countries not cooperating? How could they justify that to any other nation in XCOM? Which is all of them, by the way. Defying the council is calling down the wrath of every single country in the world (assuming they haven't dropped out) upon your head, even the Russians wouldn't do that.

>>35632248
>Which is all of them
pfthahahaha, that's cute

i'm sure Burkina Faso has a big say and lots of pull in The Council.

>>35632248
Because one of our last ops ended with a state duma facility blasted to rubble, and they would rather not have another state secret facility filled with bullet holes and plasma scorch marks

>>35632290
I don't see your point.

>>35632294
Isn't that more evidence as to why we SHOULDN'T be going?

>>35632186
>The council is every single other nation in the world, defying them is essentially "You're put against the entire world's nukes up against your face, and ask for them to press the button"

And then not quite after all. You only see one guy telling you when the council decides something, but when you expand the setting past what the game shows it's obvious that the council would probably include a great deal of members trying to fuck each other over and preventing decisions they don't like. You know, like certain other international organizations. In the game the council is essentially "like it or fuck off." Russia won't like this if they find out, but how would the other member nations feel? Would they hate you for snagging secret technology from a country that could have used said tech against them?


>Small things? Sure, but that's the sort of shit XCOM wouldn't be interested in.
>We're talking about satellites destroying shit, which the COUNCIL is VERY interested in.

Ah, but did anyone pass the report to them yet? Or did someone simply make a note indicating that's interesting, let's keep that to ourselves for now? They could always just report that aliens shot XCOMs satellite rather than Russians. The Russians aren't going to poke a hole in that lie.

>>35632334
We got all the reason we needed to go in when they SHOT DOWN ONE OF OUR SATELLITES WITH A WEAPON THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO USE

>>35632360
>Ah, but did anyone pass the report to them yet?
Like, we should have, after got
>"Almost four hours ago, one of our reconnaissance satellites that we have been using to track alien activities went dark. Initially we assumed it had been intercepted by an extra terrestrial craft, however, images sent from the satellite before it went off the air showed something... unusual..." Bradford paused before continuing, trying to gauge the reaction of the audience. Noticing the tired and annoyed looks on everyone's faces, he decided to cut to the chase.
>"They showed a massive energy spike from a location within the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan."

Because those sorts of reports should go to the Council, who then decide on what the action should be.

>Would they hate you for snagging secret technology from a country that could have used said tech against them?
Considering that XCOM is the be-all and end-all of the defense of mankind, probably not. We're already mid-war here, everyone should have realized that they have no fucking chance.

>>35632396
And look at the operation as it is, completely untrained operatives going in with shoddy paperwork. I'm surprised we weren't executed on the fucking spot, especially with the whole Thin Men infiltration shit.

>>35632433
Its not shoddy paperwork, it was paperwork meant for the Russian Federation and we've somehow gone back in time to when Russia was the USSR, if you've actually payed attention, you would have known

>>35632433
>completely untrained operatives going in with shoddy paperwork.
so just like every XCOM op ever?

>>35632433
>shoddy paperwork.
Oh for the love of god shut the fuck up, stop sperging and actually read the quest, because you wouldn't be making a fool of yourself it you did.

>>35632433
>We're already mid-war here, everyone should have realized that they have no fucking chance.

Yeah see I don't think that's how it works in this version. Everybody still have their own interests and will try to come out on top if they have a chance. So while the council funds XCOM that doesn't mean that XCOM won't try to do their own thing because they don't believe the Council will necessarily have everyone's best interests at heart. It becomes a question of deciding what you can get away with without pissing them off too much.

An anomaly? This far from the Zone? Can they even exist this far out?

Did someone archive?

>>35634932
not yet, someone should in case the thread dies before Dent comes back to it tomorrow

>>35634759
Either the zone expanded towards the base without touching anything else, or its the result of an artifact that was taken to it

>>35634984
chernobyl is a very long way away from kazakhstan so i'm guessing the later or alien fuckery

>>35634759
That's a difficult question. On top of having to come to terms with the modifications that Kadent inflicted on the setting, there's a timeskip of two years from our last available info on the subject. And that info was limited because in LSQ we played a character who didn't give a shit and when she actually did try to understand what's going on she was just shut up by those who may have an idea.

Just going off the games themselves doesn't help much either because their endings aren't really very conclusive. You don't get some kind of 'and then the problem was solved and everything worked out like this' or an 'and then everything was fucked'. There aren't many indications that the Zone was actually contained though, so it's not unlikely it's expanding.

And that's definitely also indicated from what we saw of LSQ since we handed Freedom a pretty big win over Duty. Unless the military were able to shut them down you could speculate that their policy could help the Zone expand or even cause stray anomalies outside of the Zone as a result of artifact export. Especially with two years having passed with the C-Con dead, anything could be happening.


Of course there's also the possibility that it doesn't even relate to that. Supposedly there's Delta Green sprinkled over the setting too, so we could be looking at stuff relating to that. I find it less likely, but it's something as well.

The thing that irks me is that the facility is in the middle of Kazakhstan. The NPP is in Ukraine. There's a bit of a stretch of Russia inbetween the two. So either the Zone has ballooned in size or we're dealing with USSR holdouts.

>>35635108
Naw, Loli is literally her name. Or one of them, anyway. Not sure why Dent would write 'the Loli' instead of just 'Loli' or 'the loli.' I'm guessing it's a mistake.

She should use her other name more, it's way cooler.

>>35635339
or more likely alien tech and artifact timey wimey wibbly wobbly fuckery

>>35635339
Nah, if it was that big you'd be looking at like half or more of Europe absorbed, Russia would be completely fucked... If it's zone related it's most likely caused by artifacts. That's one of the interesting things about them, they come from anomalies of the zone but we don't really know that it can't work the other way. Either an accident or intentional but it's very possible that using them outside the zone could cause shit like that.

But still it could have nothing to do with it at all and just be alien shenanigans.

>>35635339
Maybe it's the result of an artifact brought to the base tearing a hole in space-time, trapping the russian garrison while letting the in the soviet garrison

>I miss doggy

But she was never even good at combat. If she's doing anything it's probably intelligence. She could also maybe find a spot in engineering or research, she seemed to have some grasp of that. But combat training, nah. Even the rookies deserve better.

>>35637066
Well she could outshoot a rookie to be sure, but if you think about it her contribution in actual combat could generally be described as 'she was there too.' She's more useful somewhere else even if she does meet the low standards around here.

The pink trolled danced around the lifeless body of Master Dent. The overwhelming joy of achieving yet another kill and such an important one at that, fueled the most beautiful and snazzy troll songs to be produced. They all sang their heart out.

Indeed, she's adequate in a gunfight, but better elsewhere, which is why I was imagining her not being with the troops but back at base, maybe in the infirmary or something

The pink trolls wonder why the human underlings appear to deny their late master so, as prior they closely followed and abliched to his every word. Now after death there is no loyalty, only denial.
The pink trolls demand respect- bow to your Masters now and for the late Master Dent.

"You know... You could have just untied me first, then helped her" you snarl at the boy, the sharp pain in your arm testament to the force needed to dislocated your arm. "Besides, where were you when that Chekist was 'questioning' us?"

His retort however, is cut off by a hail of heavy caliber gunfire penetrating the room your in, passing over your heads. Taking that as the que for you all to get moving, you make your way out and down the hallway. In your rush to escape, you crash into a bearded man as you round the corner, knocking him over. After a short but one sided struggle for his weapon, you pull it free from his grasp, only for him to scream something that you've not heard since you left the hills of Afghanistan thirty years ago.
"Allah Ackbar!"

You flick the rifle into automatic in one smooth movement, putting a quick three round burst into his skull, blowing most of it away. The man goes limp instantly, his body twitching slightly and a grenade rolling free from his hands, its pin still in place. A lucky escape.

Retrieving the grenade, you strip his body of weapons, handing shota a decrepit pistol and loli a combat knife, although you doubt she will have much use for it right now with the way she is swaying from side to side.

The three of you move quickly to the entrance of the building your in, passing a pair of dead guards as you go. It seems like there were only a couple attackers this side of the base, with the main assault concentrating on the fortified building to the center.

The Central building is built like a citadel, with concrete pillboxes on each corner. What attracts your attention to this building however, is the huge concrete dome on its room, like one that a giant telescope would have. If the energy readings on this base came from anywhere, it would be from there.

The attackers however, seem to be highly experienced. Their entrance seemed to have been from a huge breach in the perimeter wall to the north, letting them flood the inside of the base. The guards seem to have been quickly and efficiently wiped out, with only sporadic gunfire from outside the citadel.

The citadel itself seems to be the cornerstone of the defense, with the pillboxes on its corners creating an effective killing ground around it. From what you can see, the attackers seem to be trying to fire RPG's through the narrow vision slits of the pillboxes. Its only a matter of time until they manage to get lucky and silence one.

"You. Boy. What do you think?"
"Think of what?" he asks, looking confused, still focusing his attention on his sister, who has by now stopped swaying and is sitting on a chair normally occupied by a building guard.
"What we should do? You had a good look around the place when you pulled your vanishing act?"
"I don't know... Loli's hurt. I want to get her out of here...." He trails off, looking in a concerned manner at his sister.
"Fine, so how about we call for assistance? Did you see a radio room around anywhere?" You ask, pulling a jacket off one of the dead guards, a little blood never hurt anyone.
He shook his head "I wouldn't know what one would look like.."

And this is why you don't have children as secret agents, no matter how many freak tricks they have.

"Asshole. Like your not a freak too" he snaps, his eyes going wide for a moment as he realizes what he said.
You react with lightning speed grabbing him by the throat and lifting him off the ground before he can pull his vanishing act.
"Keep your fingers out of my head you bastard" you snarl, squeezing his throat and making him choke.
From her seat, Loli pipes up, her face full of tears

You look over to the girl in tears, she's almost as old as Misha was when she was taken away from you... Part of you that you thought had been dead for years wakes and it all comes back. The memory of coming home to find the local Militsiya outside your home, saying a terrible accident had happened. The burying of those two caskets, and then the downward of vodka that ended up having you dismissed from the service of the country you loved....

You gently put the boy down, somehow, you think he understands what you feel as you drop to your knees and break down. You don't know if its him doing something to your head, or just decades of vodka suppressed emotions coming out, but it feels like the worlds collapsing around you.

An explosion brings you to your senses, one of the mujahideen managed to get lucky with an RPG, silencing one of the corner pillboxes. If your going to make a move, your going to have to do it fast. It wont be long until they breach the central building.

"Boy... Can you get us inside the building?" you ask, looking up to him.
He simply nods and says "Follow me" before walking towards the buildings front entrance.

You pick up loli, expecting to have to make a mad dash through gunfire. Then suddenly, all the gunfire ceases and there is nothing... everyone in and outside the facility is starting into space in front of them.

In front of you, the boy seems to be sweating profusely, struggling to take each step towards the facility. Whatever he is doing, its letting you literally walk into the facility.

Passing by the glassed over insurgents, you raise your rifle, about to drop a couple of rounds into the skull of one, when the boy hisses at you. "Just move it! I cant keep this up..."

Moving quickly to the facilities main door, you pull it open, coming face to face with two soldiers, their faces staring into space like the men outside. You quickly push them aside and drop loli inside the room.

The boy however, by now is at his limits, he's a mere two meters away when he drops to his knees. You look at the soldiers next to you, their faces go from glazed over bliss to convicted determination in a heartbeat.

And then the shooting starts again.

The rounds pepper the door next to you and you see one slam into the boy's back, dropping him to the floor.

You react on instinct, instincts you honed in the mountains of Afghanistan. Dropping out of cover, you fire your weapon one handed, spraying rounds in the direction of the attackers. The two troops behind you also open up, trying to provide cover fire for the one wearing the same uniform as you. Its not far, but the weight of fire the insurgents are using is starting to tell, the rounds coming dangerously close as you drop your rifle and scoop the boy in your arms. Turning back, you sprint back towards the still open door, feeling a sharp pain in you shoulder as a round hits you.
In the back of your mind, you recognize the sting of a 5.45, anything larger and it would have knocked you flat.
The last few steps you hurl yourself and the boy into the room, as the two soliders slam the door shut behind you.

And right in front of you, is the general again. Only this time with a pistol drawn and a shocked look on his face.

"General. I'm going to be blunt and we dont have much time. Do you remember a Captain you served with in Afghanistan. The one who pulled you from that burning BMP? The one you spoke to as the surgeons took your leg, who you made promise to look after your daughter Natalia?" The General's eyes go wide at this, obviously hitting a nerve.
"Its going to be hard to believe, but I am that man. I don't know what is going on, but something happened here. We were sent to investigate a massive energy emission from this base. A base that has been closed for thirty years. General. it has been thirty years since I last saw you alive... Outside of this base it is the year 2014"

"Our comrades in the GRU, from department SV-8 I believed they said they were a part of. At least that's what they said when they brought the device. They said that it was possible that the power source would, in their words 'break the fabric of time and space"

"The power source? You ask, wondering what on earth could have caused this.

"You'll have to ask our head researcher, he's with the rest of the Science team down in the central bunker. If what you just told me is true, then it is of vital importance that we do not let these Afghan dogs inside the facility..."

As in on cue, the insurgents outside start firing RPG's at the remaining bunker.
"Go. Now! We will hold them off as long as we can!" he shouts as you pick up the prone body of Shota, sprinting down the hall into the facility.

Finally you reach the central bunker, although to you its less of a bunker, and more of a lab. Loli quickly catches up to you, she seems to have almost recovered from the crash and the beating, her eyes more sharp and aware than before.
Inside the room is several men in white coats, along with four guards, noticeably older than the rest. Most likely these men have instructions to kill the scientists if the room is breached.
Two of the men in coats quickly take Shota from you, laying him on the table as they attempt to treat his would. Loli joins them, muttering threats that if they don't fix him, that she will fix them. Permanently.

Leaving them to their tasks, you go to what looks like the oldest man in the room, who seems to be, despite the situation, reading over some scientific notes.

You quickly fill him in on what you know, and what is going on. Leaving out the bit about Shota mesmerizing everyone and loli's ability to murderise people. Scientists work at their best when they are not fearing for their lives.

Taking everything in, he simply nods.

"Wait you understand what I was going on about?" You almost scream at him, somehow, the fact that he's taking everything on face value worries him.

"Jah, Something like this happened before in 1944" He speaks, with a thick german accent. "Come over here vould you?"

He leads you over to a concrete containment unit in the center of the room, opening a small viewing window to look inside.

"Because vie are GENIUSES!" He finishes with a mad cackle, only cut off when you cock your rifle.
"Ah... Vell... in 1943, ve recovered this... object from the deserts of Libya. The British had apparently, shot it down. Vie dont know how. Regardless, it was recovered and brought back to das Reich and vie took it apart. From it, vie made a copy. Vis is it. Vhat it does is produce unlimited energy... oh and erm... zombies."
"Zombies? Are you serious?"
"VIT ONLY HAPPENED VONCE!" he cried, somewhat hysterically.
"Right... So how does this link to the whole time travel thing"
"Ah Vell. In 1944, vie tried to use zie device to... improve... a few soliders, and vell.. they vanished. For avhile at least. Vhen vie tried again, they reappeared. Simples yah?"
"So... to fix this whole time messing thing, you just need to restart the device?"
"In theory ves.. vit takes a few minutes..."

"Vhat? Just like vat? Ver you not going to beat me or something?"
"Dont tempt me, Do it"

He turns around, yelling some instructions to the scentists around him and they get to work, turning levers and generally looking busy.

Down the corridor, you can hear another explosion. Looks like the attackers are through the front door...

You quickly order the troops in the room to help barricade the door, provided you can buy enough time for the device to work, it *should* get you back to 2014. Maybe. Or it could send the base back to 1984. Either way, you dont care right now, either way keeps you alive. Hopefully. Your trying to forget his mentioning of zombies.

Within a couple minutes, the constant humming from the device informs you thats its warming up, and outside, you can hear the sound of the attackers getting closer.

Their first move is to spray the door with gunfire, but this has little effect. The steel doors of the final bunker seem to be proof to small arms.
That doesn't buy you very long, as you take up a position behind some heavy scientific equipment, you hear a thud at the door.
Seconds later, the door explodes inwards, they heavy door flying clear across the room and squashing a guard that foolishly was outside of cover.

They could have tagged along, if whatever they did was large enough. And they DID manage to fuck over our satellite, so I'm pretty sure we're still in the present and they're not.

Grenades follow the explosion, bouncing across the room. One of them rolls next to your cover, forcing you to quickly kick it back towards the door. Idiots didn't cook them.
The grenades explode simultaneously, riddling the room with hot metal fragments, catching a couple of the scientists at their stations.
Following the explosion, four men breach the room, all armed with assault rifles. Expecting this, you primed your own grenade and tossed it towards the door as soon as their's went off.
The explosion catches the rear two and shred's them with shrapnel, dropping them to the floor instantly. Their two comrades however, keep advancing, firing from the hip, their rounds bouncing off of your cover and keeping you suppressed.

They're out of cover, right? We just need to aim in their general direction and we're likely to score hits.

>>35653537
Just wait until they need to reload, or halfstep out of cover a bit and wait for them to enter your slice of the pie. Whichever happens first.

Keeping your head down, you set your rifle to full auto and lift it above your head, African militia style and pull the trigger.

Five seconds later, you peek out of cover.

Turns out it doesnt work for you any better than african militamen, both attackers are still still there, only now they are about a meter away and you see that one of them has dropped his rifle in favor of a rather sharp looking scimitar...

Crap.

The one with the scimitar charges you, his sword coming down from above as he vaults over your cover. On instinct, you block his downward slash with your rifle, the sword bouncing sliding off the receiver and down the stock, slashing through the fingers of your right hand, cleanly severing them.

Your first response is to scream and drop your rifle.
Your second response is to headbutt him and smash him against the floor before tearing his throat out with your teeth.
Blood fountains over your face from the man's throat as he gurgles weakly, his comrade stopped in shock long enough for a small ball of blonde rage tackles him and stabs him in the chest repeatedly before severing his head in a fountain of blood. So that's why they call her Giltinė...

The enemies in the room dealt with, you can hear the rest of the attackers talking among themselves while one holds a mirror out on a bayonet.

Well that's one bonus, between you and the blood soaked little girl next to you, you probably scare the shit out of them.

More hurried talking follows, before you hear someone call something in English, then quickly switches to Russian.

You gesture to one of the surviving guards to give you a grenade and for loli to hand over the severed head. It actually takes some pursading to get her to let go of the head, since she keeps saying she wants to make it into a handpuppet.

Acquiring the head, you wedge it in your right armpit, and attempt to shove the grenade down its throat. Turns out its harder than you expected, as you have to knock the heads teeth out before it will fit.

Suitably equipped you pause, realizing it will be a real challenge to pull the grenades pin and throw the head at the same time...

"Loli! Give them our response!" you tell her, handing her back the head.

She grins, pulling the pin and dropkicking the head through the door.

Several surprised screams are cut short by the explosion as you pull her behind cover and pick your rifle up in your left hand. Looks like time for talking is over...

Behind you, you hear a *ping* noise, like a microwave being done.

"Ve Are Fully Charged!" shouts the head Scentist. Right before he takes a round to the face as the remaining Afghans make a last attempt to storm the room.

A high pick whine behind of you starts increasing in volume as you pull your rifle to your shoulder, bracing it with your right forearm as you drop the first two attackers, out the corner of your eye, you see the last two guards turn their guns on the scientists as they are overrun by the Afghans. Loli throws her knife into the throat of one attacker, before you drop your rifle and grab her by the scruff of her jacket and pull her towards where shota is lying. Diving onto the table he's streched out on and flipping it into some makeshift cover, you keep your head down as the remaining Afghans take out their frustrations on the now very dead guards.
Behind them, you see for the first time the man who was speaking in English.

You've seen him before. Dave.

"Thanks for the Velp! See. You in Thirty years!" He shouts over warmly, just as the whine behind you breaks into a sound like a thunderclap.

The lights go out. All is quiet. The room suddenly feels cold and damp.

> Check on Shota

As your eyes adjust to the darkness, you see the pale orange glow from what you assume is the Die Glockie, still contained safely inside its concrete home. Next to you, you see loli kneeling over the prone form of her brother, a worried look on his face.
You check him over quickly, he's bleeding from the nose, eyes and ears. Whatever's wrong with him, its beyond your ability to help him with.
Picking him up, you and loli quickly make your way out of the base, over the dissected skeletons of long dead attackers and defenders. Finally, you reach the entrance, the steel door blown off its hinges by the blast thirty years ago.

Stepping outside, you hear the scream of jet engines as the skyranger circles over the base, coming in ahead of you, rear ramp already opening to reveal Foxtrot squad ready for a combat drop.

They stare with surprise, as you stand there holding Shota as loli strokes her brothers hair. Both of you covered in blood, your right hand missing its fingers and dripping blood, while loli looks like she's going to cry.

As you walk up the ramp, Heather simply askes "What the Fuck happened?"

You answer with one word. "Dave"
