The Man of Iron (Part 2)
Yay! Part 2! I just decided that each part is going to be a chapter. Anyways, so on this planet, Caldaris, furries are slaves, seen as dirt and treated like dirt. =P
Anyways, if you read the intro...Yeah, cool things happen. Anyways, I put alot of little cameos in there. Try and find all of them, and you get to alter the story a little bit. If you do find them, PM me your idea and we'll discuss it.
:D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the snowy forests of Sector Alpha-VI, a Slave Factory existed. Where furries worked day and night getting timber for the corrupted Empire. Atlas was a medium sized man, he was strong, because he was a soldier, his lightweight armor on top of camo ceremite weave fatuigues made him look like a good-for-nothing scout. His regiment, the 81st Recon was stationed here as security. Atlas flicked his cigar down to the snow and he put on his helmet,
"All right, time to go!" One of the guard yelled at the furries, they slowly got out of their barracks. They wore thin clothing not suited for winter. Some of them had blankets, of course, they had fur, but it was still not enough for this blistering cold. The furries marched to the work stations, and one of them fell over. The guard had a whip and was just about to punish the fallen furry. A hand stopped him, and in a blur, a leg hit the back of the Guard's leg, forcing him to kneel over.
"What the hell are you doing!?" He snarled, he looked back, "Oh! Sorry, Lord Commander. I didn't realize...Did I do something wrong?"
"In fact. Yes you did, this one did nothing wrong." The Lord Commander said, glancing at the furry who had fallen over. "Show respect for them, show kindness, and they will work more, work longer, and we will waste less energy." He said. The Lord Commander let go of the guard and helped the fallen furry up. He gave her a thick thermal blanket, and a few boxes of A-Rations in a small pack, the food only Lord Commanders got, filled with calories. She smiled and thanked him, and walked back to the line. The Lord General looked at the Guard,
"See? No need to hurt anyone." He said,
"But their the scourge of Caldaris, they are nothing more then tools." The Guard protested, he was almost instantly punched, and a large calibre pistol was shoved into his face.
"Say that again and you get a bullet in your face. No living thing is a tool." The Lord Commander said, at this time, there was quite a large crowd of soldier gathering.
"Why are you so defensive of them? Huh? Are you corrupt?" The Guard asked, sure he was onto something.
"SUMMERY EXECUTION FOR DISOBEDIENCE, QUESTIONING AN OFFICER AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS!" The Lord Commander yelled loud enough so that the furries could hear. The Lord Commander looked at a group of soldiers, they cleared away, so that the furries could see. He looked back at the Guard, his eyes were filled with fear. The soldiers and furries looked in anticipation. The Lord Commander pulled the trigger, the super sonic round tore through his head and skull fragments flew in different directions. Brain matter splattered onto the snow behind him.
"The 81st Recon will be taking over Guard duty. Anyone who refuses or disagrees will share the same fate as this Guard here. Leave his body here, let all see what will happen if they disobey." The Lord Commander said, the 81st Recon then ran from the scene, taking up guard posts, some of them even helping out the furries. The Lord Commander smiled at this. One trooper went up to him,
"Lord Commander, wasn't that a little too much?" Thaddeus asked,
"No Thaddeus, its not. It got us the job. And that's all I care about." The Lord Commander said,
"Why are you so defensive?" Thaddeus asked,
"Because I see something else in them. Something I cant quite put my finger on. And I intend to find out what that is." Atlas, the Lord Commander said. Thaddeus chuckled,
"Yes sir. My post? Sir?"
"Kitchen duty. Pass out rations three times a day. Also, have Tarkus and his squad rebuild the Barracks. Make them more winter friendly and add in a fireplace or a heater. Have Cyrus and his team make winter clothing for them." Atlas smiled.
"Yes sir!" Thaddeus saluted, he then ran off.
