Continuum Turbulence/Story

Prologue: Blast Zone

1200-1300 hour of Singularity, prior to the makeshift Collapse bomb detonation, SOCOM units had already broken through the HQ defense line of G&K, Kalina is organising retreats for the remaining G&K T-Dolls within sector S09. She gathered up two squadrons to defend set locations and ensure the successful retreat of larger forces. ^AR 9A-919A-919A-91 and ^SMG ThompsonThompsonThompson are leaders of the two squadrons.

"Where is the Commander? We need orders, otherwise we cannot organize effective counter strikes." 9A informed Kalina. But the Commander is busy commanding another battlefield right now. "The enemy are regular military forces, without the Boss, we can't hold out for long!" Thompson added. At this moment, Kalina decided to be the human commanding officer. Soon enough the SOCOM armored units became too much for the two T-Doll echelons to handle, they were unable to penetrate the heavily armored military grade walkers and tanks, but there were still so many dolls who had yet to be retreated.

A green flash occurred at a distance, followed by deafening explosion from a distance and blast shockwaves. A moment later the T-Dolls had regained consciousness, they reported that the SOCOM units had stopped moving. "Quickly, regain the grounds, prepare for their counter strikes!" Thompson ordered, "Kalina we need another wave of supplies, get the logistic echelon here!". Kalina coughed, at first she thought it was just from the dust kicked up by the blast wind, she quickly sent ^SMG MP40MP40MP40 and her echelon for the logistic delivery. Suddenly something struck her mind, the T-Dolls had never seen this but she, she knows what this means, what this could be, how the green flash and her sudden allergic reactions are linked. Kalina's desperate attempts to reach the Commander had all failed.

The Commander, you, woken up, surrounded by four familiar looking... Humanoids? The creatures are known as Nyto, why are they called that, you do not know, why do they look and sound so familiar, you do not know. Why you just mumbled 'M4...A1...' out of your mouth, you do not know. Nyto spoke in an orderly fashion, only one speaks at a time, the same one does not speak twice consecutively. They told you they acquired you from the field, treated you from the radiation damage of the Collapse reaction. They told you how long it had been since the last time you remembered, 9 weeks. They also told you their master wants information out of you, specifically around the time after the Collapse bomb detonation and the series of operation you commanded.

The Nyto does not answer to any irrelevant or inquisitive questions of yours, not even a glass of water. "Your body condition is back to optimal level, we can proceed with the work.", one of the Nyto spoke, in a voice so familiar to you, yet so... cold, emotionless and agitating. "To show your willingness to cooperate, you have 10 seconds to get up, otherwise we will see this as a sign of defiance and you will be punished accordingly.", "10...", "9..." Nyto began her merciless countdown, "8...", "7...", in the voice you you hates so much, "6...", "...".

Why have they stopped? Three of the Nyto had turned away, only one Nyto now faces you, you recognise that grin of hers... The Nyto facing you hinted you of her identity by performing a slash motion down her left eye, "We're here to rescue you to Commander, just sit tight.". The subjugated Nyto exchanged words with you, but due to the Nyto's biological body structures, extended period of subjugation isn't possible, weeks of preparation had to be made just for this two minutes. Subjugated Nyto told you that the Nyto creatures were created purely for the sake of physical torture based interrogation, they had failed to extract the information directly out of your brain, hence why they woke you up from the sleep. The rescue is on the way but you have to buy them some time, by making up convincing and reasonable stories.

Subjugated Nyto also told you a few other things, such as that she will be communicating with you with this micro communicator stuck on your back from this point on, she also told you a pistol is hidden beneath the interrogation chair for your usage during the escape. Lastly, she told you how to identify the next subjugated Nyto unit, the passphrase is "I've brought you the ill-luck.".

With the Nyto relinquished, you got up on your feet, "Very good, you only took 4 seconds.", the Nyto escorted you to the interrogation room and began the process of interrogation. You began describing what happened immediately after the Collapse detonation.

In the middle of your command post, you saw a bright green flash, you sensed your body react violently to this light, you felt unconscious to the floor. A set amount of time later, you were woken up by two voices, one calm and collected, the other loud and foul. They performed first aid on you and you regained consciousness, the dolls introduced themselves: the pink haired, calm and polite girl with the large calibre sniper rifle is ^RF M82A1M82A1M82A1, the small blonde devilish looking girl with a pump-action shotgun is called ^SG M870M870M870.

M82 told you that they are here by the order of Kalina, to secure and extract the Commander, something crossed your mind when you were about to leave, if you step away from the post, who will lead the G&K T-Dolls left on the field, who will secure the defense perimeter for the retreating forces, who will keep Kalina safe...? You stayed on your post, the two T-Dolls obeyed your decisions and left to secure a defensive perimeter around the command post. Your operation began, the second nightfall you spent in the land of sector S09 approaches.

Hearing this, Nyto merely commented on how your provided speech matched their Intel, however they now want you to describe the more detailed interactions you had with member of AR Team, ^AR M4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD II and member of task force 404, ^AR HK416HK416HK416.

Your interrogation begins.

Chapter 1: Dawn Break on the Opposite Coast

Chapter 1 story began shortly after the end of chapter 10 Emergency, SOP2 rampaged on the battlefield for God knows how long, tearing apart waves after waves of Sangvis Ferri onslaughts until no one was left on the field...

E1-1 Abandoned Object

Gravely wounded, collapsed on the floor, you heard a familiar voice calling out for you from an open channel, but the signal itself is red... ^AR M16A1M16A1M16A1?! Sangvis Ferri?!

"I don't have the time, this is an open channel, fix yourself up and make your way to the safe room, she can still be saved." the voice speaks, sister M16 speaks. "You have the best compatibility with Sangvis Ferri modules out of the entire AR Team, you can get yourself operational again with the nearby Ferri corpses." Isn't it ironic coming from someone who practically radiates Sangvis Ferri signal but yet still looks like a T-Doll?

Did M16 betray us? Can I still trust her when she had became a Ferri android? You cut off the communication out of fury and confusion, you don't know what to do from here, it was never your task to make decision, ^AR M4A1M4A1M4A1 did that for you back in AR Team, even when she was gone, ^SMG RO635RO635RO635 decided for you. but now, you have to make decisions yourself.

You trusted M16, began fixing yourself with Sangvis Ferri parts.

You decided M16 can no longer be trusted, you proceeded to destroy, annihilate, raze anything remotely Sangvis Ferri related.

E1-A1 Nightfall

"TRAITOR!! YOU TRAITOR!! I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF A TRAITOR!!" SOP2 continued her rampage on the battlefield... "KILL... KILL ALL THE SANGVIS FERRI..."

"No... M4A1, M4A1 where are you..."

"No, I cannot listen to the words of a traitor, I have to make my own decisions, I have to..."

One hour later, SOP2 assaulted, breached the Ferri gathering point and started destruction.

"Haven't... found... M4A1... isn't here..."

"Carry... on..."

You felt a hit from behind and a gunshot, you crashed to the muddy ground, all the Sangvis Ferri remnants gathered around you. Majority of your functions were cut off, you did not have the time to react to what was about to happen, you heard something M16 said in the communication, but it doesn't matter anymore. You are now broken, you are now alone, you are unable to proceed further, the cold nightfall swallowed you and this cruel world, you were not able to get up again. Was this the ending you were looking for? Or was it the answer.

But this wasn't what we want to hear.

The Punishment

Nyto stopped you in your speech. "Commander, SOP2 did not die, she lived, you lied to us, this kind of actions are meaningless."

Nyto moved rapidly towards you, you did not caught glimpse of her motions but your body knows full well of what she did. Her actions continued, those arms are not arms, they are tools of interrogation.

Your punishment ended, the doll showed no emotions, no enjoyment and no mercy. You clench your teeth in pain, your body hurts, you're now bleeding. Your expressions looks horrid, possibly worst than when the Collapse bomb detonated...

"Interrogation continues. If speech does not fit our Intel, we will consider escalating further interrogating actions. Commander, please re-structure your speech."

You understood, you spit out the blood in your mouth, there was probably a teeth in there somewhere, you breathed heavily for a moment, then kept on thinking while enduring the pain.

But that's another story, you need to reconsider everything.
