Unconventional Warfare

[Querious]

"My name is Albert Weis, Hauptmann of Die Weiße Rose, and seeker of truth for almost five decades."

---

Albert Weis was busy extensively studying an alien artifact in Level 7-Forward of Bruchsal Station, in his private lab. Weis was a man of many talents, yet a master of none, so he converted his bunk room into a makeshift laboratory to accommodate for this. On his handheld holopad, he constantly received notifications of what DWR's progress was with liberating Rheinland. It had been a slow few months, with the disappearance of Helena Wunderbring after her spontaneous personal attack on the elusive Battlegroup Harmony.

Suddenly, Albert's holopad blared a purposely ear-splitting noise and flashed red, prompting Weis to fall out of his seat. He then immediately got back up, and examined the holopad. One of its many features was the ability to monitor all of Bruchsal Base's operating systems, to make sure his Bundschuh comrades had their primary base at optimal capacity. Thus, when the communication systems were destroyed by a piece of malware, the holopad was quick to raise the danger level to the point where getting Albert's attention was paramount.

After reading through all of the effects of this piece of malware, Weis quickly pinpointed the source, and set a waypoint for him to run to. He hastily switched off his laboratory and put away his research, and then grabbed two Kemwer Repeater Plasma Pistols from his locker and rushed into the hallway. His path would take him through Bruchsal's main bar, and then down an elevator to the hangar bay, where he would continue to a nearby terminal. Unfortunately, this route would also be the most chaotic, with everyone else undoubtedly panicking or preparing for attack.

As soon as he entered the bar, Weis saw what could only be described as a nightmare scenario. "Mein gott..." was his only response as he saw DWR pilots stun-blasting each other left and right, their bodies falling limp onto the cold, metal floor. Albert ducked under a few blasts, while stunning a few perpetrators himself as he rushed to the elevator on the other side of the bar. He narrowly made it in time, having to stun two individuals already inside the lift. Anticipation rose quickly within the scientist of five decades as the elevator sped towards the hangar bay, one floor at a time. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Weis arrived at the hangar bay.

As soon as he stepped out the elevator, he saw what appeared to be a fully geared pilot flee into a rather unstable Humpback freighter, the green paint already peeling off in several places. Refugees flooded out of the ship like a tidal wave, unaware that several DWR marines had just thrown grenades onto the hull of said ship. After two seconds, the grenades went off, killing dozens and damaging millions worth of equipment in a particularly violent green blast. Weis was thrown to a corner in the large hangar, luckily not hit by any shrapnel. After re-orienting himself, he stunned one of the marines and continued torward to his waypoint.

Albert ran for what seemed like an eternity to his aging body, but finally reached the terminal in question, where a clearly makeshift device had been jammed in. Using his two repeaters, Weis made short work of the device and the terminal, not willing to take the risk of being electrocuted by a hidden security measure on the device. The last thing Weis expected after this was to be quickly stunned by none other than Lucas Meyer himself. As Weis dropped to the floor, he said, "Really, Weis? I didn't expect you to just start blowing up random terminals on sight. Then again, everyone around here is acting crazy. I'd better figure out what's going on."
