Toglan Fortress
The NEF center of the base was filled with movement as engineers prepared the Grimm Reapers for combat, after a few minutes the first few squadrons of Reapers where in the air and they began to intercept some of the missiles and bombers, the Grimm Reapers are interesting aircraft as they are largely equipped with incendiary weapons and missiles, another part is that they are also VTOL. The problem was that there was only twenty of these fighters around, all of which had come from their destroyer.
Meanwhile in the secured bunker of the Fortress the Senior captain was viewing the map and the current situation, soon an aide walked over and handed him a data pad detailing the location of the strike platforms (recalculating their launch trajectories and estimating where they could be), with this information he ordered all fighters to break off and cover the five Anubis bombers. The fighters broke off of their interception duty and started to carve a path to a nearby launch site, on the walls of the Fortress NEF troops manned the few AA emplacements and long range artillery pieces. Some of the Troopers had gotten a idea of why not using an artillery gun as a temporary AA emplacement, however most used it to fire as close as possible to the launch sites.
Western Archipelago
"The human population of the NEF did come from Earth, however it was rendered uninhabitable after a war." She said "In the year 2556 a group of of PMCs declared war on all nations on Earth, at this point there had been no wars in the past 500 years.....the war was short and brutal....millions dead and misplaced. Two years of war, destruction, and violence....." paused as he turned toward the officers and shipgirl "In 2558 the last gunshot was fired, last life taken, last mother cried. How? The PMC group dropped a high yield WMD into the core of Earth, if it wasnt for the precautionary moves of most nations on Earth, the NEF wouldn't have have existed. The resulting battle that took place to stop the WMD was massive....billions of soldiers fought in it....and all of them died." The hologram then switched to the surface of Mars and Luna, this time with small domes and buildings littering the surface "Years later after our exodus to Luna and Mars another war erupted this time over resources and military might....the Federation, the pre-cursor name to the NEF won this war. After that all nations agreed, Sol was lost....so we left....that is what we are taught in school about the beginnings of the NEF."
NEF Hells Fury
"Mm, I see, where are you located?" said the Captain however the two Troopers tensed up as they looked at the General, their helmets picked up the increase in body temperature. Both seemed to look at each other and then back at the general in confusion, they where unsure if the rise in body tempature was normal or not but one of them stepped forward
"Are you sure you are alright general? Do you need medical attention?"
Outside Alters
The Sergeant looked at the group as they lowered their weapons, he looked back at his squad and then at the line. The Senior Corporal clicked on her radio and spoke to him
"Sir, the translation software is picking up bits of Nordic in their language...maybe it's some sort of dialect?"
"Possibly, however we can't be sure....we might say something and their interpretation would be different...let's go with non verbal communication"
"Copy"
The sergeant shrugged as he lifted his helmet off and showed his face, he was a human. He placed the helmet under his arm and gave a slight 'hello' wave to the militiamen, then he took off his pistol and rifle. Which he placed on the ground and took to steps forward, before he extended his hand in a handshake.
