Soldiers in military equipment were patrolling outside of a Military Fort

—Fort Vepo,Headquarters Of The Federal Disaster Emergency Union—

One of the soldiers was speaking to a group of 15 of them,probably a higher up
"As we continue to expand,the threat of the Liberation Front,The Wraiths,and The Lane County Militia grows..we have estimated numbers on each of them,Lieutenant..continue for me."

"Yes sir,The Lane County Militia is the smallest out of them with an estimated 800-1,000 'Militiamen'..as they like to call them,we call them conscripts..The Fransisco Liberation Front being nearly 2,500 strong from our scouts' estimates..and the wraiths being the largest having a range of 5,000-8,000 Bandits in their collective..each of them have their exact dangers..The Wraiths with their numbers,Militia with their gear..stolen from national guard armories,and the Liberation Front for their Guerilla Tactics,as the United Commonwealth's response to this situation,it is our duty to take these factions out."

"And we cant do that with our low numbers,688 Soldiers..that is not enough to take out any of them." The superior spoke up once more as the Lieutenant looked back at him

"Thank you Major..but..good news..in the short few years settlements have sprung up,settlements that could spring up our numbers and have an official relationship with the new civilian populous."

"Down the road there's Two settlements,Split Rivers and Fort Century..they're small but they could be a start,we can first and foremost gain their trust..Bandit extermination..supply runs..protection..anything they need."

"All 15 of you were brought here for the simple reasons that you command portions of our force..and we want you to scout out and take initiative..if you see civilians in need,Help..it can further our cause."

"Well said Lieutenant..all of it..I want 5th and 7th Squadron to go to these two settlements and set up negotiations,Captain Oliver i want you to send word." The Major looked over at a Captain in the group as 'Captain Oliver' nodded and got up,walking away.

We gotta start rebuilding,once small step at a time,only way we can get out of this is to work with eachother..

A man in uniform and a woman in a trench coat shook hands outside the gates of a settlement

"The People of Haven agree to an alliance your group,The FDEU..24 Volunteers will be sent to your fort for training of our 220 Citizens..each month we will send 10 new volunteers." The woman spoke as she looked at the man

"The FDEU will offer protection from bandits and others..a group of 10 of our soldiers will be sent here to reinforce the gates and train your guards."

"The Council Of Jackson has voted and agreed on sending Supplies and Manpower to aid your cause in return for training and securing our roads for travel,a group of 30 Volunteers shall be sent to you each month." A Man with his entire body in thick layers of clothing stared at a representative of the FDEU as he spoke

"This is understood and acknowledged..welcome to the alliance sir,you're part of something great." The representative shook the man's head

"We the people of Fort Century thank you very very much for securing new farmlands for us,we will be able to produce alot more food,we can send you soldiers and some food each month in exchange for access to the river nearby Fort Vepo,15 Volunteers will be sent each month alongside that food." A grizzled man,probably a veteran from The Second Spanish-American War spoke to a representative of the FDEU
