Resident Tale: Hunt for the Hive

Chapter 1: Bravo Six Going Dark

For 74 years, the might of Soviet symbolism was so great. It split the world along Eastern and Western lines.

Then, in 1991, it collapsed completely.

One by one, the various counties which had supported the Soviet Union began splitting away, declaring their independence.

Parliament of the Eastern Republic followed suit, declaring the country a sovereign state, independent from Soviet rule.

Capitalism advanced rapidly, the Conglomerates gained influence in political circles and as a result, the Oligarchs came into power.

In the Eastern Slav Republic, the divide between rich and poor became so great it ignited the fuse in new rebellion. The push for independence exploded into the streets and armed freedom fighters pitted themselves against their government.

Now controlled by the Oilgarchs.

The military prospered during this time, becoming ever stronger and better equipped, under the guideness of Ivan Judanovich, an Ataman from the council of elders. The freedom fighters moved their base of operations to a hidden location.

And a more suitable place from where they can launch their guerrilla war against the government.

After several years of brutal fighting, it was Svetlana Belikova, Eastern Slav first female president, who offered a ceasefire to the freedom fighters.

But the break from hostilities were short-lived.

In November of 2010, the government discovered the rebel's lands contained valuable resources. The military continued their attacks, claiming they were fighting terrorism.

Losing one base after another to the military onslaught, the freedom fighters escalated their efforts and become more and more radical in their tactics. It was then that strange rumors began spreading like wildfire among the people.

That monsters had joined the battle...

In February of 2011, the rumors had found a way to the old city of Holifgard, just a few kilometers from the presidential palace. An important strategic location for the government...

~8~8~8~

The night sky shines down on the city as it was up in flames from war, gunshots, and tank fire echos off the crumbling walls of what remained.

"Listen to the words of the Elders.

We have finally gained the power that we need.

Power that will lead up to victory.

Gather people, gather, and fight!

Fight for INDEPENDENCE!!!"

The Elder's rallying cry feeds off all challenges of the radio, in the dark allies of the streets, a foreigner was through, wearing a protective vest and a rifle in his hands, he shuffles through the alley, but slides to a stop and quickly hides behind the wall as Freedom fighters ran down the street and fired back at the soldiers they chased them.
