E.H.G.T.H (Intro)
#1 of Life of a Human Commando
Current Earth era: Year 2760
Classified by Scientists worldwide as E.H.G.T.H era. Or known by every soldier on earth fighting against monstrous aliens, Earth Has Gone To Hell. This all began, for me anyway, when U.S scientists created a Super Soldier Serum, or SSS. The government than began to recruit soldiers or citizens for a project. The government was offering big bucks for any willing people. I was Mike, age 20, slim and muscular, and a citizen looking for extra cash, so I signed up for this project. My best friend Samuel Adams Earantim, his nickname was Sae, also signed up. The day after I signed up, some government officials in a black van parked outside my house and told me to come with them and pack some belongings. I took some clothing and my family army combat knife, it had been in the family since the first earth war. (400 years earlier). I was taken to some secretive area in some desert, I had no idea where I was exactly , and apparently they drugged me for I fell asleep on the way in. When I awoke I was in a room with 24 other people, 9 citizens and 15 soldiers, with one scientist in the room with a box labeled with a poison/caution sign.
"U.S citizens and soldiers," the scientist began, "You are here for you have signed up for a secret government project. You have a choice to leave if you wish your mind shall be wiped clean of this information, if you stay you shall be given a serum and tested. I will give you twenty minutes to decide."
He left the room leaving everyone else and myself to his or her thoughts. This is crazy, a secret government project? But if I don't do it there goes 6 grand down the cliff so.. Here goes.
Twenty minutes passed and the scientist returned no one had changed his or her minds. The scientist smiled and opening the case removed one hell of a needle and several cartridges full of a blue fluid.
"Alright! Everyone come here for the injection one by one."
As he gave each person and injection he gave each of us a weird name like L-sar6 or Br-m2. When it was my turn for the injection he gave the name Mcar, Sae's was SD-45. Everyone was escorted then to a small apartment room with one bed. I fell into bed feeling extremely tired, like as if something was on my back stealing the life out of me. Around 10 PM I awoke with searing pain in my head in arms, I screamed and I heard several different screams and yells in the night, and fell down into bed out cold.
"This is going to be one hell of a painful morning,"
I said outloud to myself as I woke up. Yet I felt no pain, I actually felt really good. Then a voice on an intercom came over my head, i really never had time to inspect my room,
"Good Morning soldiers, please get dressed with your uniforms and meet in the main room. Thank you."
The uniforms turned out to be Steel Blue military uniforms and felt kind of small. As I entered the main room I passed a mirror, I looked buff! Everyone else did too. The scientist who gave everyone the injections walked in again looking pleased.
"Ah good! A success! Now before we continue.."
"Where is our 6 grand?"
someone yelled cutting him off. He looked annoyed
"You $6,000 will come to you be assured, but first you have a job to do. First we begin your training."
The 'Training" as he referred to was dodging live fire, lifting a Ford, and solving extremely difficult life-and-death puzzles. What I and everyone else did not see was that these were extremely easy! No one died in the puzzles, the only wound anyone received in the life bullet training was a bleeding hand, and I could lift a Ford with one hand! This is so fricken cool! I thought to myself.
"Ah. I see you recognize some changes."
The scientist, looking still pleased, explained
"If you are wondering why you can do this, think. The serum I gave you was an experimental serum that could give someone increased intelligence, amazing strength and agility, and the ability to heal themselves at will."
This training continued for 2 weeks.
Only on the 3rd week did we receive our first mission, each of us were given white armor, called C.A.C.A (Camo Assault Commando Armor) that could instantly blend in to any environment at will. The leader of the 25, nicknamed Chief, was a major time war veteran. I personally loved the weapon selection, there were common handguns to the new P-guns that would fire disintegrating bolts of charged particles. I choose a Spas-12 and P-gun in the form of a handgun (the models ranged from a handgun to a rifle). Our mission was briefed on that a military base who ad been studying a strange species of create found in space had lost connection with the government. We were going to be sent to investigate.
"Oh man, this is really awesome!",
someone said over the HUD com. Upon arriving by helicopter, all seemed quite untouched on the outside.
"Alright, Mcar, SD-45 go check out the door. Look for any sign of forced entry."
As we approached the door Sae tried to use a government standard key card, the door slowly opened and a bloodied and gored body fell at my feet.
"Oh sh.."
I never got to finish as I looked into the room. There was blood everywhere, not just red blood, and there were dead everywhere. Sae signaled the rest of the group to advance. Chief looked around disgusted.
"What the hell happened here? Definatly no human could have done this."
"I thought I saw something move!"
she pointed at the ceiling and I near threw up. On the ceiling was something between a man and a bug, its features twisted and mostly covered in gore. K-8 immediately shot the creature, making and extremely loud noise and the entry door closed behind us, locked. Then I heard a clacking sound, an odd humming noise, and a click sound coming from the corridor next to us.
"RUN!!"
Chief yelled as everyone began to run down the corridor. A HUD screen of a map filled a section of my helmet screen with a map.
"There should be another exit farther in the building. Although we can destroy this menace by signaling a self-destruct in the top observatory tower. Mcar, SD-45, JU-4, LF-2 and FR-2 come with me to the observatory tower. Everyone else go to the exit and keep that gate open while making sure none of these freaks makes it out."
The only sign of acknowledgement was the clicking sound of weapons being primed or loaded.
