Greenland in its cold white landscape was focused for settlement outland, for inland was of harshness. Let a party of troops and scientists of the S.U.D.S were set to investigate a former settlement inland. This settlement was of a scientific facility that in the glory days of the S.U.D.S past served as centre of research. Let with the decline of the S.U.D.S of old and the wroth of XONES this place was ruined, set a relic of the progressive outlook of the S.U.D.S. This place, known as the Triforce Facility, was seen by the S.U.D.S of now as a place that holed the secrets lost that could help in the struggle against XONES. This facility had set to general science, space research and military development, set in the three wings: the Athena Laboratories, the Chang'e Centre and Thunderfall, the purpose set to the respect of the 3 areas of research mentioned before.
Cornel Denial Allard was nervous about this mission. The facility had after its abandonment in let another dark age that waged humanity was picking ground for criminal activity in attempt to smuggle the technologies. While it was unknown of what knowledge they stole… knowledge that would have then been lost via XONES’s wroth which would have hit the smugglers. However the Greenland army had reported that there been attempts to return to the smuggling operations. Allard’s job was to ensure the science team, headed by Professor Janet Okafor, were not subjected to the wroth of the territorial smugglers, while being sure there were not any nasty surprises for Okafor’s team. The military group was also set for advance scouting and to serve as professional “cleaning service” for anything in the way of the science team. General Gaston St Martin who gave Cornel Allard the mission had hoped the shield of Okafor’s team would help lead especially to the rediscovering of the work a scientist that observations might prove useful against XONES: Doctor Charles Jehonathan Kwan.
The teams helicopters went through the cold air, landing in the landing centre of a S.U.D.S base camp that had been set by Greenlander General Irena Klerx. Every one of the science and military teams got out of the landed helicopters, to be greeted by Klerx herself who walked up to both Allard and Okafor.
“Welcome to my homeland and your hope” said Klerx to both Allard and Okafor. “I hope the temperature is not too low for your liking.”
“Not unexpected but I am most thankful that I came wrapped up” went Okafor. “I am looking forward to commence the investigations.”
“Good” went Klerx. “Doctor Frits Mas has already began the expedition but the passages are ever blocked by the wreck that was of the facility, a wreck most hard to bypass. If it were not for how the rest of the structure would react I would have ordered the deployment of explosives to clear the passages. Even manually removing the blockage may prove… considerable risk. However we are ever searching for accesses in.”
“I see” went Allard and Okafor at once, both eying the camp and the many guards set to ensure the security for the exploration of the ruined research complex that’s standing after doomsdays be a miracle. Both Cornel Allard and Professor Okafor followed General Klerx as she went into the Mobile Command Centre that had been deployed.
It was a massive truck with radar on top, inside being computers of military positions, geographical map of the realm, communication links, camera feeds and a fine wine cabinet secured by its own password terminal for access, the glasses below the bottles be of Venetian make, ever set to not break which is important for high risk combat targets such as a Mobile Command Centre. Personnel conducted their duties, although one unlucky chap had the misfortune of a blue screen of death on his system. Screen showing the checking of food supplies, the investigation of a blockage of what was a ceiling and of personnel resting in a lab that was robbed of all its valuables a few days after the last doomsday. Radio chatter noted the recent collapse of a ceiling caused more problems for the exploration.
“Nice place” noted the Cornel on the Mobile Command Centre.
“Like other S.U.D.S Mobile Command Centres it is a nice place, yes” went the General. The Professor was observing a photo on a dark table of some few test tub remains that were found in one of the scared labs of the Athena Laboratories.
“Any news of progress?” went Allard.
“Possibly” went Klerx. “We have breached some sects of each of the three sections of the complex but we are slow. The hope is that this is a sign that there is technology let to be gained, for if we have problems… how would rouges fair? All areas are slowly being perused for access routes, although a few areas we can only access with mini exploration bots to help us scout.”
“Well at least it will help us know what we are headed” went Okafor, observing a photo of one of the drones… a little box like thing with a camera and on 6 wheels… causing alarm for a trooper’s spaniel. “It will take ages but we should locate valuable data that will help the S.U.D.S get back on its feet.”
“Yes” went Allard. “Hopefully the Grand Premier’s hope in Operation Neo Renaissance will go well.”
“In that we must succeed in the name of Gaia” went Okafor. “We must recover and then we will seek out the means of liberating our world from the Enslaver. Even if we fail we will at least find the means to ensure humanity will rise to great revolutionary highs once are next rebirth commences. Human societies have found themselves part of a cycle of creation and destruction. Just as a figure of meditation seeks to enlighten themselves so they can break the cycle of life and death, so must we revolutionaries seek to break the cycle of destruction and creation that society is set to. We desire to go post state, to reach the Final Epoch. We must set ourselves to the mission against XONES via Operation Neo Renissance!”
“Viva la Revolution then?” went Kerx. “Well… I guess since we are committed… let us honour ourselves. I will fetch you some glasses…”
…and the so began the drinking session.
