Book I of Regeneration: The Crag Chapter 1

Earth date: Nov 14th 2302

    It has been quite some time since I have wrote in my journals and I’ve had little to actually write about during these past few bleak months.  it’s been almost 100 years since the crystal war had rendered the surface of this planet inhabitable. For a very long time many survivors went deep underground into safety of ancient bunkers made from crude materials and retrofitted with the latest technologies. Many others escaped to mars, in hope of Terra forming a new planet.  Those survivors have not been heard from here on earth because many of the above ground buildings that were used to keep in contact with the pioneers were leveled during the war. I can only hope they have it better where they are on the barren red planet.  Sad to think such a lifeless planet resembles what modern earth is now. However back to the reason I’m writing this entry.  today while I was, shall we say exploring around the perimeter of the golden shields base I saw a very interesting event take places.  a soul traveler with no more than a few weapons strapped to his back walked straight up to the heavily armored and weaponized Golden guard and picked the guard straight up off his feet throwing him at least 50 yards approximately 5 meters off the ground, just tossed him like a toy.  These guards are no push overs I’m surprised he snuck up on him then threw him.  man and armor of at least 600lbs and the aggressor looked no more than 150 maybe 180lbs at most.  An incredible feat of strength, at first I thought what sort of fool would do such a thing to the most terrifying faction in the region, and not expect it to be suicide.  At this point I was sure the snipers of the golden shield were trained in and about to finish him and I figured it was best to get going soon so they would not find me out as well. But then I heard a shot and the most awful whining of ricochet ever. I stopped and looked again to see that the aggressor had actually been shot in the head and survived at this point I zoomed my scope in more to see that this man’s entire body had been covered in some sort of biological plate mail that the 60 caliber sniper round had hardly scratched his plate that had formed over the aggressors face. What I was seeing I couldn’t believe he continued to move and then blades made from the same biological plate that was his skin armor shot out like swords attached to his arms from the elbow down. He stabbed straight through the fallen guard’s helmet in what I expected to be a bloody awakening for the golden guard inside. I was afraid I wanted to run but it was like watching a train wreak in motion he then bounded up the 100 meter outside walls of the fortress easily slaying several snipers.  once on top all pandemonium broke out inside the base the blaring alarms woke me as I watched the stranger disappear over the wall.  I made my way through the crags to escape the area of the base undetected and slip back to my hidden laboratory here where I now sit. I think I may broadcast a radio message for this mysterious stranger so maybe I can meet him and then study him and find out why he is so special compared to other humans. I mean anyone who slaughters the golden shield like that man did can’t be that bad of a person.  he surely knows they are really bad people and he’s not just a mindless killing machine right? Maybe I’ll sleep on this and think about making arrangements to meet this man later it’s getting late and I must set the skragrat traps before I go to sleep.
