(One Year before the Commander's Rescue)
It's been two years since Elena managed to steal intel from the Stronghold. (Y/N) worked for six months to improve his Security network. It worked since it was nearly impossible to hack into any of Stronghold's rooms without getting caught.
Dr. Vahlen also lost another five scientists. The five scientists were collecting and storing data without anyone knowing. Dr. Vahlen reported this and the five Scientists were fed to the vipers.
Mainly only because Torque was in charge of the interrogation of captured troops. When Torque recovered, she was immediately taken to the training facility. It was found out that Torque was now able to spit frost. She still kept her poison spit but she preferred to use her frost spit.
Torque's body is also able to adapt to the surrounding temperature along with camouflaging with her surroundings. Making her nearly impossible to spot. Torque took on missions for six months before she was promoted to colonel.
(Y/N) allowed Torque to choose her squad to train and take on missions. Another six months and Torque was made second in command. She reported only to (Y/N) and no one else. Torque has a near-perfect record on missions. The missions failed because of Faction interference. She even modified her armor to have the chosen symbol, which shows her complete loyalty to (Y/N), not the elders.
However, as Dr. Vahlen suspected. Dr, Tygan managed to decode her research and Lily Shen came up with ways to reverse engineer all of (Y/N)'s technology. But since resources were scarce, Bradford orders the idea to be put on hold. It took them only a year and a half but they managed.
(Y/N) has kept tabs on all of the faction activities since they kept interfering with his missions. All his missions went well but result in minimum citizen casualties. Of course, the Elders used this to increase the hate of XCOM.
However lately they have been quiet. Multiple facilities have been destroyed. (Y/N) looked into this and managed to find out that Intel was taken from the destroyed facilities. He had Dr. Vahlen look into this.
With the findings of Dr. Vahlen, (Y/N) feared the worst. It was time to call a meeting between the Chosen and the Elders.
(Chosen Meeting Room)
Three Psionic pillars appear. The Warlock, The Hunter, and The assassin have arrived.
Hunter: Why were we called?
Assassin: I do not know.
Another Psionic pillar appears. (Y/N) (L/N) arrived but he wasn't alone. He is accompanied by Dr. Vahlen.
Hunter: You know, the Elders are not going to like this.
(Y/N): They may not but I have urgent news.
The Elders appear in front of them. All four kneel while Dr. Vahlen remains standing.
Elders: Our children, it has come to our attention that one of you has news to report.
(Y/N): Indeed I do Elders. It has come to my attention that XCOM has been destroying facilities.
Elders: Indeed however this is but a minor setback. I hope you did not waste our time.
Dr. Vahlen: He did not waste your time Elders. At first, it may say that they were just destroying facilities. However, it is much worse.
Elders: Human, we allowed (Y/N) to take you alive because you would be a great asset to our cause. Now will be the time to prove if (Y/N)'s judgment was correct.
Dr. Vahlen: As I was saying before I was interrupted. They seem to be stealing information on someone. You all may know her as your greatest asset but I know her as Eliza aka the Commander.
The room goes quiet.
Elders: It seems you four have been failing US.
The four chosen are knocked down by the Elders' Psionics. Dr. Vahlen backs away in shock.
Elders: YOUR TASK IS SIMPLE. DESTROY THE ENEMIES AND NOT ALLOW THEM TO GAIN ANY INFORMATION. YOUR FOUR ARE OUR GREATEST CREATIONS, THE GIFTS GIVEN TO YOU CAN BE TAKEN AWAY. YOU FOUR CAN BE RECLAIMED AND REPLACED. DO NOT FAIL US AGAIN, NOW GO.
The elders teleport everyone back to their last locations.
((Y/N) Stronghold)
(Y/N) grunts in pain. Dr. Vahlen drops her tablet and rushes to (Y/N)'s side. At the same time, Torque enters the room.
Torque: COMMANDER.
Dr. Vahlen: If I knew this is how they would react, I would have kept my mouth shut.
(Y/N): It's not your fault. It's mine, I didn't realize that XCOM was searching for the commander. If anything, I deserved the punishment. I will talk to you both later.
(Y/N) leaves the room with a limp. Dr. Vahlen and Torque look at him with worry.
Torque: Who punished him?
Dr. Vahlen: The Elders.
Dr. Vahlen grabs another tablet and starts typing a new goal. Torque hisses in disgust.
Torque: Seems the Elders don't care about their children.
Dr. Vahlen: Indeed, something just doesn't add up.
Torque: What doesn't add up?
Dr. Vahlen: The other chosen can recover quickly but (Y/N) isn't. I may need to research this further. But I need some of (Y/N)'s blood.
Torque: (Y/N) was to be the best of all the Chosen.
Dr. Vahlen stops typing and looks at Torque, waiting for an explanation.
Torque: I managed to look into files regarding his creation. I couldn't get much access but I did manage to access who he was before. All the other chosen files don't have much security but (Y/N) does.
Torque hands Dr. Vahlen a tablet with the files. Dr. Vahlen looks at the file and her eyes widen in shock and horror.
