Creed II, Terminator Honors. Subterfuge Deepsea Installation, Insurrection Simulation. Day 12, Extrication Phase
The simulation ended some days ago, in the defeat of my men. Oddly, the self-appointed leader of the Chaos team is unwilling to step down from the simulation, even going so far as to take territory from her own team as to fuel her power trip. I am attempting an emergency extrication, but even that is proving difficult, as one of the booster drives from my Valkyrie Airship has failed, and my order for a replacement has been intercepted by aforementioned Chaos Lord. The Indomitus Armor has been irreparably damaged in the course of this combat, an expensive loss especially for a mere training exercise.
At this moment I am riding my crippled airship with the two men still under my command, wearing a salvaged Scout Armor and wielding a small handgun for defense. I could take down perhaps 10 of the enemy if I tried, which is woefully insufficient compared to the estimated 2600 the enemy numbers, any number of which could be trailing behind my ship's blindingly filthy windows even as I transmit this.
I'm having this sparring partner executed for treason at the earliest opportunity.
There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
