I looked around and could see tall buildings surrounding me and roads with vehicles driving on them and people walking on the sidewalks it was clear that I was in a city, I then looked back at the prison before darting my head around "I escaped!" I said, I shook my head before putting the keycard in one of the pouches on my suit's waist I then began walking down one of the streets and as I walked I suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from behind me I turned around and could see that the prison that I had just escaped from was now destroyed I stood there trying to figure out what could have caused the prison to be destroyed but then I remembered that large device that I shot as I was escaping the prison "That large device that I shot while I was escaping that prison must have exploded and destroyed the whole damn prison, all of those other prisoners in that prison definitely didn't survive that explosion... oh well." I said before I turned back around and continued walking, as I walked I could see a group of soldiers running towards me I gripped my assault rifle and braced for a fight but as the soldiers approached they just ran past me and moved towards the now destroyed prison "They don't know that I escaped the prison and that I was the one that destroyed the prison, they must think I'm just another soldier I mean I am wearing one of their armour suits." I said as I continued walking, as I came to an intersection I looked around and could see more roads that stretched on for miles I darted my head around unsure of what to do next but then I thought back to the prison and tried to remember what the soldiers said about this suit "Those soldiers said that they were keeping this suit safe from the Resistance." and then it hit me "The Resistance, one of the soldiers said that there is some kind of Resistance and they have a hideout somewhere in this city." I thought as I began moving through the city looking for the Resistance hideout.

I walked through the city unsure if I would ever find the Resistance hideout and eventually I decided to take a break and rest up a bit I walked into a nearby alley to find a place to rest and as I reached the end of the alley I saw a large dumpster next to a wall some boxes and something large covered by a tarp suddenly the large dumpster opened and a person jumped out of it I jumped back as they emerged I closed my eyes for a moment as I walked backwards until my back hit the wall of the alley and as I opened my eyes again and looked at the person it was a woman with white skin and short blonde hair and blue eyes she was tall she was wearing a yellow shirt and black pants that had several pockets on them and black boots she wore armour that was grey the woman was muscular and she was carrying a rocket launcher the woman approached me as she pointed the weapon to my head "Alright ya Federation bastard any last words before I blast ya into pieces!" the woman said in a Scottish accent "Whoa whoa whoa calm down, I'm not with the Federation." I said "Oh yeah prove it!" the woman said, I looked around unsure of what to do "Talking to this bitch would be a lot easier if my helmet was open." I thought and just then my suit's helmet opened up "Hey I know you." the woman said, I stared back at her with a confused look "You do?" I asked as I could smell an overwhelming stench of tobacco coming from the woman "Yeah you're the lad who escaped from the Federation prison." the woman said as she lowered her weapon "You know about that?" I asked as I coughed "Okay helmet you can close now I really don't want to smell that." I thought and as if hearing my thoughts my suit's helmet closed "Oh yeah the Federation put out a message saying that a prisoner had escaped from the prison they showed a picture of what he looks like, I also saw that explosion that came from the prison do you know what could have caused that explosion?" the woman asked, I was about to tell her about the large device that I shot while I was escaping the prison but then I thought about the other prisoners that were in the prison I shot that device which destroyed the prison and all of those prisoners definitely died from that explosion "No I have no idea what caused that explosion." I lied "All of the prisoners in that prison were Resistance fighters and innocent people that the Federation captured I doubt any of them survived that explosion, well at least you made it out of that prison before it exploded." the woman said "Yeah lucky me." I said "How the fuck did you manage to escape from the Federation prison and get your hands on one of the Federation's armour suits?" the woman asked "I used this." I said as I pulled my keycard out from my suit's pocket "Fucking shit a Federation keycard, how the fuck did you get your hands on that." the woman asked "Let's just say I borrowed it from one of the Federation's soldiers." I said, the woman then began to laugh "What's your name lad?" the woman asked "Josh." I said "Well nice to meet you Josh, I'm Mayhem and I am a Resistance fighter." Mayhem said "You're with the Resistance." I said "Aye." Mayhem said "I want in." I said "Hold on there lad you don't just ask to be a Resistance fighter we need to make sure you're Resistance material first." Mayhem said "And how do you do that?" I asked "We need to put you through a few tests to see if you can handle yourself." Mayhem said "Well I already escaped from the Federation prison, snagged one of their keycards and stole one of their armour suits." I said "Fair point but I need to see if you can be trusted." Mayhem said "Okay so what do I have to do? I asked "One of our Resistance fighters went through the city on a recon mission, I want you to find him and bring him back here safely." Mayhem said "Sounds easy enough, so where can I find him." I said "In his last transmission he said that he was on the corner of fifth and twenty third street, go there and find him." Mayhem said "I'll get it done." I said as I turned around and began walking out of the alley, I left the alley and began moving through the city.
