"Another long day Jackson" Lindsie said to her partner as she turned off he equipment for the night and walked to her bunk. "That it was" Said her partner Jackson. "Did you hear about the new UKE sniper? He has only been at his battalion for 4 days and he is already a sergeant." said nervous Jackson. they felt a jolt and they both ran to the survival bunker. "What the hell was that?" said shocked Lindsie as she sat on her spare bunk. "I believe somebody commenced sequence NC-608" said scared Jackson as he turned on his spare headset.
"They did it" said nervous Jackson "It was NC-608, We have entered nuclear wasteland." said shocked Jackson. "Are there any survivors?" said teary eyed Lindsie. Jackson was silent. Tell me Jackson,Tell me there were survivors. Jackson remained silent and began to cry. There were only one group and they were in Agartha City. "We have to get there ASAP!" said frantic Lindsie. They ran out to the last remaining HMVE and began to drive to Agartha City.
They arrived to Agartha city to see a desolate wasteland with a single burnt capsule with 19 people inside. "Don't worry we're here we will take you to our base in the Imperial Desert." said frantic Lindsie shuffling 10 into the HMVE and waiting for Jackson to return to take the rest back." Are there any others?" said scared Lindsie. The town elder looked at her with teary eyes and shook her head. "No." said the 80 year old woman "We are the only survivors the rest were obliterated by the nuclear blast". "I'm so sorry" said nearly crying Lindsie.
Jackson returned and the remaining survivors got into the HMVE and drove back to the Imperial base. This will be our refuge camp. "We have enough rations to last 100 people 9 years." said caring Lindsie to the Agarthan survivors. She showed them the bunkers where they would be sleeping. They all took a bunk and put their 5 items into their end tables. They awoke the next morning to find that the Imperial sand had settled and allowed them to go to the weapons center to gather enough Jensing semi-auto pistols and two Janswerth assault rifles. Lindsie gave all of the survivors a pistol and she gave the other rifle to Jackson. These are your weapons, you will need them to kill the sand spiders and snakes that are prominent in this area.
You will all need a job around this camp, Me and Jackson will be sentries but we need two more. Two survivors raised their hands. We have posted a sheet in the main shelter where you will all sign up for jobs. They range from night watch to maintenance. The newly assigned workers started their jobs promptly at 0900 the next day.
"Any word on the survivors in the UKE Jackson?" said nervous Lindsie. "They have all been taken in by a Sargent of battalion 115." said cheerful Jackson. Good to hear, Good to hear.
