Falling of a building isn't fun. The fall for me wasn't the worst, but it still hurt like hell.
Our armoured hazmat suits were combat made, so they could apsorb a lot of force.
"Right side,go quickly. You, get up, go cower the right side!" The officer started runing and yelling out orders.
Eliot got up, grabed his sidearm, ran towards the right side where his group was already fighting.
He got behind one of the granade pits, checked his P-98 walter, and remembered about Adrian.
He quickly got up, but a PILGRIM soldier ran towards him with a built in machine gun firing.
The enemy started moving and attacking killing most of his squad members. Eliot dodged, jumped, cravled the adrenalin keept him going until a RPG rocket hit a robot in front of him causing him to fall down on Eliot crushing his ribcage and breaking his spine.

"Medic!" I tried screaming as loud as I could but for some time no one was comming.
I can't feel my leags, there is no pain, but I can still move my head.
Turning his head he saw a big group of gray soldiers carefully approaching their position.
"They wiped us all out, even the PIGs", he taught in him self feeling fear of being captured or worse turned into a Crawler.

Two of the soldiers approached him and started talking in Serbian, but Eliot only understood:" main army, we are ready, take everyone,bunker". He knew that he mustn't move or do anything, or this will be his last day as a human. He heard that Cravlers are humans turned into self devouring beasts that are injected with a virus that mutates them. Afther your body becomes bone and fleesh, you get the worst hunger that forces you to eat everything and everyone.
I never saw one, and I don't attempt to.
With his head facing away from the colapsed building he couldn't se what was happening. But hearing screams and pleas for life it was clear that he will never be seen again.
Tears started poring down his cheeks, he was so afraid, the only thing in this moment was to go home and never return.
It took him a few minutes for him to calm himself and assess the situation.
A few soldier have pased, and one stoped and checked Eliots body taking his watch and P-98.
The soldier reloaded and fired in Eliots back.
He didn't move, so he proceed onward.

Laying there not being able to move Eliot with a little practice and patience he managed to press the radio in his ear, and connected to his friendly station.
"Hello,....(static)....,'ello...., (static).... our (static),....requesting...," a person was allready trying to reach the Frank army,"they owerpowered us.....(static),.....Heeelp" the last words were spoken before a scream and silence.

Hours have passed and nothing has changed except for Eliot who was slowly dieing.
The pain overcomed him and now he was feeling lost and helpless.
Everything started being unrealistic. He got lost in time couldn't move but saw everything. He was flouting in air,moving trough the sky and eventually he blacked out.

He woke up in one moment blinded by a yellow light.
He couldn't see past it.
He felt weak again and blacked out.
And who knows when again he got some flash awakenings seeing white and people in white, sometimes he could only hear mixed sounds. It was like one long loud and drunk ride.

In one moment the weakness pased and he opened his eyes.
Eliot was in a white room, or better said a room with a white cealing.
Again he couldn't move, but he managed to view the room he was in. There was no door on the side he was facing but only walls like in the asylum.
He was in a patients uniform whitch was white, he can't move but this time he was tied up.
His heart started to work faster building up fear.
"Where am I. Why can't I move...?" A milion questions passed but no answer.
"okay...,okay..., calm down," the pressure was building up. He started to move automatically.
He fealt a sting in his neck but couldn't see what it was.
His body started to cramp until he couldn't move again.
A doctor walked up behind him with a cowered face and eyes with a hazmat suit. He moved to his left leg grabed it and took out a saw. Eliot filled with fear and not being able to move watched in horor. The doctor sawed of the leag, blood wad shooting everywhere. Another doctore appeared and started stopping the blood.
Eliots eyes closed and he blacked out again.

Someone whispered:" brave soldier, your life and your limbs have been taken from you. Why, you ask." It was a calm women's voice," we made you better, stronger and faster. You are a survivor, but you are alone. You will know what to do. HE will talk to you. Now reast and prepare yourself."
And when the voice faded he could open his eyes and move. The Sun burned his eyes, but afther a while they adapted to the light and he was in a forest. It was hot and humid, but it was calm and peaceful. He remembered and looked down his body. His legs were metal and he could move and use them.
He was in a torn uniform and in a few places his skin was showing and some gray colour. He lifted his body up with ease and took of his shirt? Revealing his torso half human scared tissue and half metal. The metal was like an aligators skin with a few scratched areas. His left side was metal,from his right shoulder to the center of his chest down to his hip, but the human tissue had scratch to but it was connected to the left side with beneath the skin wires and plates. A whisper returned but this time the voice was echoing and comming from his scull.
"Find the PEN, and before that arm yourself and kill anyone that tries to stop you".
If he wanted answers he needed to do what he was ordered.
