Modern Campaign

IM lloyd and im hired by someone to find out what you are doing.

What are you doing anyway? My employers were fairly sketchy, well that reads, kept me in the pitch bloody black about anything and everything, including who the hell they are as well so I cant tell you that, do you own this building? are we trespassing? Who the hell are you??

"Find out what we are doing eh? We are surviving against a regime that we did not accept or agree to. As for you," he slams a fist into your chest. "We don't believe that you have no idea who your employers are and about this building as you ran down the hill shooting at our men, you killed Darren a good man and a good friend of us all."

Ow. Loyd wheezes for a second as pain blossoms in his chest.

Well you can tell this about me, Im obviously no more than an ametuer. Or I wouldnt have gone down without knowing my ally was behind me. And scince Im obviously not a crack trooper.So why would I know who my employers are? If your sent some dome, over excitable bastard on a recon mission would you tell him your name? No, incase this happens.And It payed off...

hang on, what regime?

Translation:
Ow. Lloyd coughs a little in reaction to the punch that connected with his chest.

Well, you can tell a bit about me already, I'm obviously only an amatuer. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone down without realising my allies hadn't followed me and since I'm not a well-trained soldier. So why would I know who my employers are? If you send some dumb, excitable bastard on a recon mission would you tell him your name? Of course not, just incase he gets captured like this. It worked as well...

Wait a minute, what regime is this?

-TRANSLATION END-

Another person comes in the room, "I heard this one was awake, whats the situation with him?" one of the men in the room replies "I think we wrecked his mind when he got shot, definitly broken. He is denying any knowledge of anyone employing him." the new person to enter the room replies "He is obviously hiding the truth, nobody could be that retarded. I'll go grab what little sodium thiopental we have left, it should make him talk. If not then I still have one more idea." The men in the room salute as the new person leaves.

"What regime, what regime!? Have you been living under a rock for the past 4 years? The government of Espius was put in power by someone we don't know, citizens were told to accept it or leave. Sure others will tell you there was an election but it was all faked, we are fighting against this dictatorship and for the rights of free will."

Well I can relate to that... so you chose to leave, good of the nation, power to the people kinda stuff? I got some news for you, revolutions always come around again. Thats why their called revolutions mate.


HANG ON! I remeber somthing now...a man, Epsius you say? He's a major in their security force... Ari... Ariter? Ariston? and somthing.. anbout a company.. Mne..thingy...nope, its gone..

They turn to each other and nod "Yupp, definitly broken. Let's hope that the Marshal has a good plan for what to do with him," The person that just left comes back in. "Hey Marshal," the same man starts speaking again. "Definitly broken, shoot him up with that serum and we'll see what he says next." The person that has just entered carries a syringe with a bottle of liquid, quickly the syringe is filled and you feel a sharp pain as it enters your neck. Your body immediatly relaxes and you feel a little tired as the drug courses through your system.

"No more hiding the truth now, who sent you?"

That mmmmmmmmmajor bloke.. Ariston. ffromm ... that placed your pissed about... he ssssaidd we were woooorking ffor some company... ssstuuupid nnname.. sound forreign to mee... Mne... somthing.... Mnesth.... Thassa one...

You havn't lost any speaking capacity, you are only incapable of lieing and willing to comply with what they ask.

You can understand it cant you? but Ill stop that then...

"Major Ariston eh? So you guys are some sort of security forces then? I thought they only opperated in the cities. How many others were sent here with you?"

two, but we arent security, we were hired by the major on behalf of the company

"The Company? What Company is this?" The man questioning you then turns to the person you have heard being called Marshall and says "Only two, shouldn't be so bad we could start sending out sweeps soon."

The Mnesth. I told you that...

"Very well, I think that's all we need from you. Thank you for your co-operation, goodnight." The man punches you hard in the throat, you topple unconscious.





Time to take a shift back to Lathra and Barry.

Barry picks up the beacons,

"Time to get these two down, don't ya think?"

"Lead the way, I'll cover you." He pulls out and cocks his rifle.

Barry sighs and walks off to place down the 2nd and 3rd beacons.

as you walk past the insurgent building you spot something outside the maingate. It looks like a man on his knees. You can't make out who it is but they are completely motionless.

Lathra slips onto one knee, and examines the guy through his scope.

The man is a battered and bruised lloyd, he has rope tied tightly around him. There is no sign of anyone else about.

Am I concious?

No.

"Barry... it's Lloyd. He looks hurt, and is tied up. Looks unconscious."

"Beacons first, that fool isn't going anywhere soon"
