*Bzzzzt Bzzzzt Bzzzzzt*
The phone vibrated on the metal weapons
crate next to the bed. Not answering it, the
night before was far to exhausting to do so.
The vibrating finally seized.
Three pounding noises went off almost
instantaneously after the phone stopped.
I leaned over to press a button on the console
mounted on the wall. A green light came on
"Yeh?"
"Dude get up! We got some action going on
at first street in Charley Sector."
"Erm what kind of action?"
"Raider kind. They have a convoy and they
are loading stuff into it."
*Sigh* "A convoy huh, alright give me a min."
"Hurry up dude we don't know how long they'll
be there for, they've already been loading for
30 minutes now."
"30 minutes! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
"I tried man you were sleeping."
I looked at my phone, 11 missed calls. Man
I was out of it.
Rushing my boots on and getting my urban camo
armor on I stumbled passed a few crates to
get to the door. This place I call home might
as well have been called an armory. I had
an arsenal of toys sitting all around my house.
Though it didn't help my cause that my house
was actually a bunker that was covered in rubble
with only the once entrance in and out visible.
Walking to the door, I grabbed the automatic
rifle and sniper rifle and punched in a code to
open the reinforced door to my house. The door
was large enough to let a small vehicle enter it.
A bunker garage pretty much.
A man in the same type of uniform as mine
was standing on the other side inpatient like.
This man was my partner in crime. My buddy
from the start of this entire thing, and well before.
We did everything as a team and many people
hated us for how good we were.
"Bout time man lets go."
I nodded at him, closed the door than put
on my helmet and we walked toward our
vehicle. An armored recon truck that can
take one hell of a beating.
He threw me the keys because lord knows
he can't drive. It's always an accomplishment
to see him even make to my place.
Our "recon" truck looked more like a well
modified civilian vehicle but that's pretty much
our budget. Modified vehicles. Military
vehicles never did cut it for us.
Entering the truck we started to head toward
the objective.
"So what is it today, Travis?"
"Raiders in upwards of about 50 word has it
that they are still there. Whatever there
loading they want to make sure it makes it
to where it needs to go."
"Why's that?"
"They brought mechs along for the ride."
"Mechs? Really now. This should be one
beautiful day of destruction."
Travis and I were the enforcers of what
law was left on this abandoned planet.
The group we worked for called ourselves
the Terran Brotherhood. The way we act
I would figure we were more like pirates.
"What do you think they are loading Stewart?"
"If they brought mechs? I would guess they
are loading weapons or explosives. Either
way we're going to take it."
Travis chuckled a bit as our truck launched
over a pile of debris heading toward
1st; Charley.

FEEDBACK THREAD FOR THIS STORY AT THE ABOVE LOCATION

--1 Year Before--
--DATE: 12/20/2012--
Late December 20, 2012 - The economy of the
United States was still reconstructing after one
of the largest recessions to date in US history.
The presidents unorthodox way of doing things
was actually working in favor of the US and the
world at large. New York was sleeping at
11:30PM
On the other side of the world N. Korea has,
over the passed couple of years, successfully
launched several satellites into space. Using
this new achievement to their advantage
under the cover of a hidden underground base
N. Korea prepares to launch 20 nuclear
warheads. There targets were scattered
throughout the world. Some of these targets
include New York City, Washington DC, Los
Angeles, Moscow, Berlin, Paris, and even
Hong Kong.
Sirens went off as North Korean Soldiers
prepared for the life to come. As every warhead
was ready to launch. At exactly 00:00 New York
time. All the missiles launched.
Air raid alarms started to blare throughout the
world. In a desperate retaliation to the sudden
launch of warheads Japan, Russia, and the
United States tried to launch counter measures
against the missiles. The the counters were
unsuccessful.
Five of the 20 warheads made South Korea
devoid of life. Landing in all major areas of
South Korea. As North Korean forces advance
into the parts of South Korea not affected
by radiation.
The rest of the missiles streamed across the
globe annihilating every target they were
ment to hit.
Before impact however the US in the largest
counter attack to date launched 25 warheads
at every location known to North Korea.
New York, Washing DC, and Los Angeles were
now in ruins as the warheads leveled the
area of impact and anything within 100 miles
of that. Same affect for every other target that
the North Koreans picked.
December 21, 2012 was the day of the attack
The day North Korea proved to the world that
it was a force not to be disturbed. Though when
it disturbed three Super Powers it was shown
no mercy and the entire North Korean Country
was wiped off the face of the Earth.
The sudden attack started to cause severe
martial law throughout the world as terrorist
organization started to invade Russia Germany
and the United States.
United States forces were still over seas making
the United States defenseless against large
scale invasions from multiple organizations and
countries trying to claim land.
The targets of the North Korean Missiles are
listed here:
1: New York, New York
2: Washing DC
3: Seattle, Washington
4: Los Angeles, California
5: Quebec, Canada
6: Hong Kong, Japan
7: Paris, France
8: Berlin, Germany
9: Russian Federation Moscow
10: London, UK
11: Sydney, Australia
12: Stockholm, Sweden
13: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
14: Vancouver, Canada
15-20: South Korea

Surprisingly the radiation from the day of
destruction became safe only 2 months
ago. People can go into the zones but
must wear protective gear if you are to
be in the zones for more than a hour.
It has been noted that one hour is the
bare minimum if you don't have protection.
After that hour you will eventually gain the
effect of radiation poisoning and eventually
you will die.
The world was torn to shreds that day.
Mankind as we know it became savages.
Crime was on a complete uproar for
well over the three before. Than out of
the blue a civilized group of people was
formed. Calling themselves the Terran
Brotherhood. These people were the
protectors of mankind. The people who
were going to get the world back on it's
feat. That was the goal of it at least.
The Brotherhood gave the people who
were considered to be doing criminal acts
the name of raiders and that is what we
all went by. The only new invention that
came out of all this was something called
a mech. This machines were piloted
bipedal destructive things. Capable of
going into the infected radiation zones
without a problem. So they too can
enforce law in any area.
The world was still in chaos from all of this
even with the Terran Brotherhood working
hard to maintain order. War was going
on everywhere. The US goverment
collapsed within the month and the US
came under command of the Brotherhood.
A group of people who had nothing to do
with the goverment. Just trying to bring
peace. Under this new power the
Brotherhood declared new law. Making
certain states into "Safe Zones" where
people who wanted to get away from war
would go. These safe zones were fortified
and well vegetated. Arizona went from a
desert to a tropical rain forest in only a
month as one of the main safe zones.
San Diego became the HQ of the
Brotherhood. Though still in little numbers
the Brotherhood only occupied one of the
counties of San Diego, being El Cajon.
This is where the civilized people of
mankind will start to expand and rebuilt.

Most old major cities were now devoid
of life as people moved to the safe
zones in massive numbers.
Every now and then jets would drop
bombs in random areas of cities.
No one really knew whos side the
jets were on. They were all rogue
jets really. Stolen from the military
bases in all the confusion that was
going on in the year.
Raiders made their homes in the
abandon cities. Finding the criminal
life far more amusing than the
safe zones. This is what kept the
Terran Brotherhood busy. The
removal of all Raider Forces was
another goal in the Brotherhood.
Brotherhood Soldier Walking Down an Abandon Street
Less than a month ago was one
of the largest wars the brotherhood
had against the Raider Forces
under the remains of the Interstate
15, Interstate 8 over pass. The
Brotherhood found a base of
operations supposedly of the Raiders
and in an attempt to remove it
advanced into the city of San Diego
from El Cajon and a massive small
arms war erupted with a few mechs
from both sides entering into the
fray. The raiders were ill prepared
for the sudden attack leading to
a great loss on their end.
These are the results of mankinds
need to have power. North Korea
was the start of all this and it
lead to the potential fall of humanity.
The one hope of survival of the
human race is the Terran Goverment.

--PRESENT DAY--
"*static* Brotherhood...*static*...urr...copy?"
Our radio started to go off as we headed to
1st. The signal out here was really weak
because of all the interferences.
"I repeat this Schnurr unit do you copy?"
A female voice over the radio called out.
We apparently got close enough for a really
good signal. Though we were now in a clearing
so this may have been the reason.
"This is Schnurr unit, what's up babe?
Schnurr was Travis' last name and the girl on
the radio was his wife.
"Hey honey, are you and Stewart heading to
1st and Charley?"
I nodded at Travis as I focused on driving.
"Yup, don't start the party without us."
"Oh we won't however don't go shooting
everyone or thing either. We have mechs
here to take over the scene. Can you
and Stewart go up high?"
What she ment was can we go into sniping
position. The other thing I'm an ace at.
He clenched his jaw a bit before responding.
He always gets bored being spotter. Though
most the time we go close combat so it was
my turn to have some fun.
"Sure thing babe."
At that reply I turned the truck sharply onto
2nd Charley. I had a sniping post for each
section and every time I changed it. I drove
for a good extra mile before making it to
the post where I parked the truck on the
side of a pile of rubble.
We went into a beat up 10 story building
and started to climb up to the roof. It
wasn't much of a challenge for us to run
up the stairs to the top. From the roof
we could see all of first street and the
top of most building. I was able to see
the convoy and raider mechs and footmen.
Our mechs were hiding behind some buildings
the next street over.
"Steph this is Stewart. Travis and I are in
position. 0 Snipers visible. 50 Footman tops
and two light armored mechs. Should be
a cake walk."
"Alright Stewie, thanks. All units move in."
Our mech pilots never like obstacles as our
tanks and lighter vehicles went around the
mechs walked through the buildings that
were in the way. Doing so made a loud noise
and the Raider forces started to open fire
on our mechs. Light arms fire from
footmen doesn't do a thing to our mechs
but the light armored mechs do. When
our mechs got in firing visible range
they shot at the two enemy mechs legs.
Slamming one in it's joint the enemy
mech tried to move and fell to the ground.
The other however wasn't so lucky to just
be immobilized. A pulse cannon from one
of the brotherhood mechs slammed into
the cockpit of the mech. That pilot was dead.
Our soldiers finally arrived from around the
corner and that's when all the raiders just gave
up. Surrendering. Out of the corner of my scope
I saw a flicker from something in the distance,
up high. Looking to what it was. It was a sniper
moving up the stairs to a destroyed building. His
rifle was reflecting sunlight making him a
noticeable target for Travis and I.
"Stephanie we got a sniper do north of you
about 500 yards. Moving into position.
Permission to take him out?"
"Granted. Don't let him get a shot."
I smirked as I looked through the scope
at my target progressing up to the roof.
I counted down aloud as I prepared to fire.
"3-2-1" *Boom* The noise of my rifles
gun fire echoed throughout the area as
the sniper's body over 1000 yards away
jolted to the right from the impact and
fell to the ground. The bullet upon impact
caused his head to explode.
Post Apocolyptic - stewcool - 04-05-2009
The sounds of my rifles gunshot rang out throughout the area.
The raider units were now our prisoners as we loaded them
up in one of the trucks. Travis and myself still watching
from my sniping post.
"Stewart and Travis go ahead and head down. We've got it
from here."
"Roger that Steph, Travis and I are heading down now."
We packed up our toys and went back to the truck.
Arriving at the truck. I always loved this truck. The
oldest truck in the Brotherhood to date and one of the
toughest too. It was an old 1996 Ford F-350 model.
Black paint with reinforced chassis and windows.
With a 4in raise kit for the suspension. Oh and can't
forget the carefully mounted machine gun on the bed.
With the 6 flood lights. This truck was a rare sight
to see for any enemies.
Travis got in the passenger seat like always and I got
in and started the truck up.
We sat there for a minute to see if any order would come
in. No chatter on the radio for us today.
Travis and I started to head back to my house.
"Stewart, where ya heading?"
"Uhh we're heading to my place Steph, why?"
"You got a visitor at HQ. Head over there please."
Travis looked at me a bit confused. Neither of us
ever have a visitor.
I turned the truck toward HQ and headed that way.
Our HQ, like most of our facilities stuck out like
a sore thumb. It was largest building in the city and
the most guarded. All Brotherhood buildings were
painted a opaque white color. Making them very
noticeable to anyone who was a friend or enemy.
We were a few miles out from it and were able to
see it from where we were. It wasn't much of a
drive though. Nothing really deadly.
We were going down a road at 80 miles per hour.
Normally there is never any traffic out in the
combat zones. This area of the city was a safe
zone. A 10 mile radius around the HQ. If any
combat occurred in this zone you would surely
be killed by either robotic weapon fire or
brotherhood weapons fire. We had men
stationed at almost every corner of the safe
zone. Making it almost impossible to get
anywhere if attacked.
Finally arriving at the gate to HQ the guards
saluted us as we drove in.
Earlier in the year we made a path for our
truck to park in. We parked the truck at
the top of the stairs to the HQ. Right
next to the entrance. Just to be show
offs but we found the truck to be a great
deterrent to any hostiles that may want to
attack the base.
Travis and myself holstered our weapons
as we entered the building. Both of our
helmets were still on. The only way
people knew to salute us was by the
armor we wore.
The entrance was welcomed by two large
giant white reinforced doors. Once through
the doors is a long lobby. Large enough to
house a large mech if it was needed. If was
needed. After every fifth support to the building
there was an opening in the supports.
On each side was a large mech. A total
of four mechs lined the hallway.
Travis and I continued to walk all the way to
the end of the lobby. A desk was in the center
of the end of the lobby. A receptionist with two
armed guards was at the desk. They all knew
who we were and let us pass by to the second
set of large doors. Not massive like the first
set. Just larger than a normal door.
Going through these doors lead you to a row of
elevators for a set amount of floors. The elevator
we needed was at the end. Which was the only
elevator that went to the top floor. The only
floor that didn't have a staircase that connected
to it. This elevator was also guarded by two
armed guards.
The two guards saluted us as we entered it.
The door closed as the elevator ascended.
Post Apocolyptic - stewcool - 04-05-2009
The Elevator took a good 5 minutes to get to the top most floor.
During which time Travis and I were silent. We were both
baffled as to who could be visiting me.
*couple minutes later*
We finally made it to the top floor. The elevator doors opened
up to reveal two guard at the elevator. Upon exiting
the elevator the architectural design of the building was
noticed. The building from the inside was shaped like a circle.
From the top you can see all the way down to the lower most
floor. Each floor, other than this one, had many doors. For
different lines of business and offices. Guards patrolled each
floor on a constant basis. We walked around the circle to the
other side to the VIP office. There was only 3 offices
on this floor. This floor was dedicated to me Travis and
Stephanie. We were the leaders of the brotherhood in this
city. Stephanie being the one who gives the orders though.
Making it around to the VIP office the guards opened
the door for us. This room was more of a lounge than an
office. Seating on one of the couches facing away from us
was a female figure. Travis stopped stopped at the door
as I approached the couch.
Taking off my helmet as I approached the couch. The
person heard me and turned around as I stopped dead
in my tracks. Staring astonished at the girl before me.
Post Apocolyptic - stewcool - 04-27-2009
//bout time I got back to this.
The girl on the ouch was Sharon, my girl.
She wasn't suppose to be back for another
two months. How did she manage to get
back to me so quickly?
I stood there dumb founded at the sudden
arrival of Sharon just sitting there smiling
at me. As though nothing happened.
"Sharon? How did you......"
I paused most missions the brotherhood
do don't allow for early leave.
"How did I get here so quickly?"
She finished my question for me.
I nodded.
"They let me go early because of good
behavior."
She giggled a little bit.
I smiled at her as I approached the couch
and sat down next to her. Giving her a kiss.
"I missed you so much beautiful"
I always called her beautiful.
"So did I!"
She responded excitingly. Like always.
One of the things I missed.
--
We were in the truck heading back home.
My place was large enough to house all of
us and then some, Sharon, Travis, Stephanie,
and a few others. It was a small fortress. If
I had to defend from any attack. My place
would be the place where I did it.
As we were heading home Sharon told the
story of what was going on at Phoenix.
Apparently the leaders of the Phoenix Safety
zone wanted to expand out of Arizona. The
population of the safe zone was far to large
for the state of Arizona and an expansion was
the only thing they can think of. The expansion
called for alot of terraform. Flatting alot of land
and putting in radiations shields exsectra. It
was a long task that didn't require Sharons
geographical expertise. Just alot of machinery.
The expansion was now going to end at El Cajon.
Which means we had to push the raiders completly
out of San Diego in a certain time frame.
