The fall of mankind
Chapter 1 - History
I sat staring out of my room window… I couldn’t believe it that in just 25 years we had come so far, I remember watching the video my father made when I was only 2 years old it showed the first shuttles launch from earth trying to colonize Mars in an attempt to solve earths ongoing population struggle. It was then it happened. The most powerful nations on earth joined together in to colonize Mars, it was supposed to be the greatest achievement of mankind but it all went so horribly wrong.
The first few weeks were slow, the nations which were sent to Mars; USA , UK and Japan all landed on separate parts of Mars setting up towns, Initially there mission was to create a safe atmosphere so it was safe to live there without the constant supply oxygen from earth , it was nicknamed Project Green. Within 10 years Mars had a stable atmosphere and large shuttles were constructed to take people to live there. Just 5 years later people were buying spacecraft from car shops , and taking the 4 month trip to Mars in search of a new life.
By the year 2170 large cities sprawled across Marss surface, later the same year without anyone knowing President Lume of the newly founded “Mars Nation” began Building an army on Mars.
In 2174, exactly one year ago Lume began restricting access to Mars and began to shoot civilians on site, word of this finally reached the UN on earth and as Lumes motives to Openly attack earth went public, an army known as the “Earth Defence force” (E.D.F) was formed to protect earth at all costs. There were many battles that year and because of the massive army Lume had control of the UN decided to build four massive battleships often called “Space Cities” They where called the New York, Paris, Sydney and the Glasgow.
“Beep, Beep” “Beep, Beep” With a load thud Rial slammed his hand on his alarm. After he got dressed he decided to turn on his holo-imager “Why is there never anything good on in the mornings but the news!” He thought to himself. He couldn’t stand to watch the news these days just more grim stories about the war he was tired with all the fighting he just wished it could end…
Rial made his way to the rec room, he sat at a table himself ordered a coffee, just across the room he saw Admiral Wer ,Wer caught his gaze and Gestured him over to another table.
“Ah I’ve been looking for you sergeant, I figured you’d be here.”
“sir?”
“Ok I’ll cut to the chase, you know that the E.D.F Glasgow was just finished 2 months ago”
“Yes?”
“Well I’ve been asked to command it and I’ve been looking for some good pilots and soldiers for the new elite combat unit that will serve on the Glasgow, I’ve been looking at your service records and I think that you’re the type of guy I need on this”
“well sir…I’d be honored”
“Good ,I’ll see to it that you get transferred to Manhattan station”
After the Admiral left the rec room a tall man wearing a black cloak approached Rial.
“Hello” said Rial anxiously
The stranger nodded his head ”Sergeant“.
“who are you, What’s all this about “ said Rial nervously, Noticing 2 armed men appear at the door
“Who I am is not important. But I have a message for you” The stranger handed Rial a small piece of paper “Don’t tell anyone this meeting took place”
“Of course”
Rial slipped out of the rec room only to be confronted by the two armed men he’d seen earlier. “A man spoke to you in there” said the Biggest of the two “We know who he is but what did he give you?”
“What are you talking about”
“Stop playin’ around and answer the question”
Rial looked around the corridor, it was empty as usual. “Think Rial, Think” He thought to himself. He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled his pen out and stabbed the guy in the eye. Immediately he dropped Rial and started Flailing around like a wounded animal. Rial took this opportunity to dash down the corridor he quickly opened a door locking it behind him, he knew it wouldn’t hold for long but it would buy him some time. He sprinted down corridor after corridor until he came to Cergels Room door, he burst in locking it behind him.
“What are you doing here Rial?” Cergel asked curiously
“Two men grabbed me outside the rec room but I managed to escape”
“Buy why were they chasing you?”
“I think it has something to do with this”
Rial looked at the note one small sentence was written on it “Meet me at room 204 at 22:00 Today”
