You wake up in your room at around 8am in the morning. Not much is going on right now due to the time of day.
You wake up in bed early in the morning.
"So you're finally awake. Well get up and her ready we're suppose to meet your new boss today." Says Victoria.
You wake up in the Resistance base with a rifle and sidearm of your choice.
"No don't worry about it. We can sort out any problems like that later."
You awaken in a jail cell. Seems the Arume knocked you out following last night's events. No one is currently around.
59
You just barely manage to dislodge your sword. It falls on the ground forest ground.
You last left off getting your new armor and guns.
"So what do you think. pal?" Says Al.

>Pick up my sword and go on the hunt for Arume scum

>Get up and ready myself.
"Who is going to be my boss?"

>Get out of bed and get dressed
>Go to the cafeteria for some breakfast

"lead the way then"
>stare at her ass as she leads the way

>look around the cell
>take a look at the lock

"I didn't expect anything this advanced... What will i have to do now?"

“Where am i?”
“What happened to my contract?”
“Got to escape”
>Get the rifle and run outside the base

100
Along your single-man crusade to kill the invaders you happen upon a jeep. Only thing inside is the long decayed driver with the keys in hand.
You get out of bed.
"Currently, it's me."
She says proudly.
"But we're gonna see if I can convince Chinami for a position fitting for you."
73
You get fully clothed and head down to the cafeteria. They're serving French Toast, Bacon, and Grits. You take a plate.
5
You follow her out of the room, but get stopped by Aiko once more after you exit the room.
"Hold on. Where do you think you two are going? You have less than a week to get the soldier. I suggest getting to work."
50
It's an average gray-padded cell. The lock is Arume standard tech, not something you can easily unlock.
"Well we're going to get to work of course. You're a merc now. So the first contract today is uhh..."
He pulls out a techpad.
"Arume Support...looks like we're helping them against humans int he area."
He scratches his head.
You grab your rifle and exit the base in a hasty manner. You step out to see a clear morning sky with your vision only being slightly blocked by the forest around you.

"What kind of positions can arume offer to a courier?"

>Take a seat at a free spot

"...I didn't know we'd do this kind of job, but that doesn't matter. Where exactly are we needed?"

“What the hell happened”
“I need some answers”
>Walk until a find a road or a car,try to reach a city

"I'm not sure. Messenger perhaps Agent like me..."
She starts walking out the room, expecting you too follow.
99
Shit's good man. You take in the delicious meal feeling well energized and fed.
31
It instantly breaks. An Arume, you could assume to be a guard walks up.
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
You throw him out and exit out onto the open road.
21
Stacy just kindas shrugs.
"No. You may sleep in your car, but not in the base. It's the rules."
87
"North of that town we were in. Human activity has been rising there apparently."
5
You walk around and fail to see any car or transportation of sorts. The nearest town is to the southeast fifteen miles away.

>Drive with my sword out the window so that I can drive by decapitate Arumes that are near

"Alright. Do we have any info?"

>find a street and a car with my 97 now plox

>look pissed and just leave to my car and sleep

>Walk outside and have a look around

"Just inspecting this lock miss"
"seems like you have done a fine job with the security in this place"
"now if you wouldn't mind unlocking the door for me i'm sure they're expecting me in the inspection offices so i must not dilly dally"
"I'll be sure to leave a positive review"
>gives a friendly smile

33
A stupid tactic, but you see an Arume outpost ahead.
"Aside from the location...? No. We're kinda going in blind here."
97
You see a motorcycle in a ditch. Despite its position you see it's in good condition.
91
You angrily leave and decide to sleep in your car. You awaken to the morning sky.
You head to the outside perimeter of the base. Not much is going on due to the time, but there are a few people on patrol.
You follow her back to the elevator from last night.
"No actually it was Chinami's. But I don't mind."
She says with a smile. The door opens back to the corridor before Chinami's residence.
"Good effort, but that's gonna work."
She speaks into a Radio.
"Yeah he's up now. You can come down now."

"tsch... fucking cunts..."
>drive back to the resistance base

"Jesus. Do we get moving now? Do i have time to grab some grenades or something?"

>Stop
>Use my superior Scottish eyesight to scout out the outpost

>Turn it over
>climb on it
>Drive till i find a city

>immediately lose the smile
"have it your way"
>wait for the one that's about to come down

>She seems rather happy about it
Keep following victoria

>wake

77
You get back to base in no time. You see this little shit standing around as you pull in.
Sunrise passed about an hour and a half ago. You see this fag pull into base.
"I doubt that'll be needed. We're basically just searching."
He begins walking towards the garage.
63
Eyesight's about average, but you still survey it. A normal fence surrounds it and there is a sniper tower to the left.
You turn it over and look around for a sign. Nearest town is 40 miles from you too the northeast.
An officer steps in front of the jail cell.
"Let's make this quick. Reports say you're unfit for normal society under Arume rule. Mind explaining?"
You follow Victoria back into Chinami's residence.
"You two are here. Good, let's begin. Take a seat."
You see about a few feet behind her is a what you could presume to be a guard.
You awaken in your cabin. It's quiet out.

>nods at you

>walk in and go see mikeu

"I see. Let's go, then"
>follow him

Take a seat and say nothing

>Stare over at as he drives in

>drive

"Nyo... I'm alright, thanks..."

"I have no idea what they would be referring to"
"I'm a completely normal person in every way"
"I suspect the arume that filed that report was just a bit sore that i killed some of her comrades in self defence"

>Check on the bamboo progress

72
You find Mike in his position. Casually relaxing too smooth jazz.
You follow him and enter the back of a transport with a few other men.
"Also try not to get on the Arume's bad side. We're an organization not some idiots with guns."
"James. What do you desire in the Empire?"
You find Alicia looking over papers at a bench.
"Hey, Eva..."
55
You make it to the nearest city in no time. Termina. As soon as you get close enough you're stopped by an Arume outpost.
"If it was self-defense then explain why you were in an Arume Outpost without any sort of permission?"
99
They've grown incredibly fast. They're about five and a half feet tall now.

"H-hey... You, uuhhh, look bored..?"
>Stare at her

"we need to talk..."
>look around to see if anyone's listening
"i just made a deal with the arume... 10,000$ for ino and one of the scientists is gonna make me as strong as ino with some machine..."

"...Certainly!"
"I was scavenging for food when i noticed your outpost"
"Normally i would steer clear but in this case i was really hungry and desperate"
"so i decided to sneak into the base and try to find something to soothe the hunger"
"unfortunately it didn't go quite as planned..."

Its not like I was willing to join the empire... But i'll flow with it
"I just want to finish my friends last wish, after that I might just live my normal life"

"I'll keep it in mind"

>Drive a good distance away from the city and outpost
>Tears the Jeep's driver-side door off with SCOTTISH STRENGTH

>Cut some of them at the base so they can be used to make some shitty bamboo practice sword
>Acquire seeds from the ones I just cut
>Plant even more
>Leave the rest to grow even taller

"Yeah.."
She sighs.
"I've been waiting to get the greenlight to attack ABS-1 from HQ, but they keep stalling."
28
He whispers low and gets up.
"What the fuck man...? That's treason you know..."
"I have trouble believing that. Any rational person would have simply asked, and why don't you explain why you entered with a gun?"
"And that's all? There's much more the Empire can offer if you stay for long-term service."
"Thanks."
After about half an hour of driving you two exit the transport to a forested area.
"Alright boys! Move in groups and keep comms online. We're looking for any odd activity. Dylan you're with me."
Says Al.
You fail to tear it off. You're still human afterall.
You grab some and scatter seeds around the area despite the fact bamboo plant themselves. You leave to let them grow taller.

>Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Hmmm, why would they do that?"
>HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
"M-maybe they just want to get more inyaformation first, nya?"

>Become angry at the fact that I can't tear it off
>Continue trying to rip it off like an angry gorilla confronted with a glass screen between him and a banana

"...I just dont believe I hold anything useful for the arume, i'm just a common person"

"I did not believe you would give it to me, i had to take the chance"
"as for the gun, always gotta be prepared, right?"
"also, it's the only thing my father left me, if i were to lose it he would be gone for good"

>Follow him and look around

"mikeu... it's not treason..."
>smile
"ino is loyal to you, and you only right? i'll hand her over get our stuff, and she'll come right back with me... that is unless she really is our enemy?"

>Make the shitty practice sword now

99
"Yeah, they say we need to report more about the area and troop movements. I just really want to attack right now. The time is right, but they just won't let me."
5
Like a gorilla and a banana you still fail. It doesn't even move an inch.
"Nonsense. Everybody has a use to the Empire. You think you're nothing more than a common man, but you can become so much more."
"Fair enough, but you can't simply get away with killing Arume y'know. After what happened in Termina relations have been strained."
80
You follow him up a hill and initially you've seen nothing. Well until you two see a man wandering around.
"Hey, see that guy. Let's sneak up on him."
76
He thinks for a moment then begins walking towards Ino's cell.
"That could work..."
23
You make a weak looking sword. Might break in one hit from the looks of it.

>follow him to ino's cell
"try giving her an order or something... she was supposed to be under chinami, and now she's under you..."

>Try to catch him by surprise for questioning

"Prove it"

>Start autistic screeching to boost my door tearing capabilities

"Well, maybe you could so a little secret mission... Nyehehe... Just an idea..."
>Grin at her and walk out of the room
>Go find that prisoner that one guy showed me before

"Yes but what am i supposed to do when armed guards come my way and threaten me? "
"it was fight or flight and it seemed flight was not going to be an option"
"I apologize for the people i killed, I'm sure their families miss them, and i regret that it had to be that way."

100
"Er...Ino, punch something?"
Ino gets up and strikes the ground leaving a clear hole in the concrete.
"You're right, but how long do we keep this charade up?"
49
You get close, but he becomes aware to your position by a broken branch. He goes for his knife.
"Look around you. Me, Victoria, and Alexandria are living in luxury due to our positions."
You still fail to tear it off. Once again, you're only human.
"Maybe..."
You go to Ino's cell and see and Mike talking together.
"Surrender. But you must still face trial for your actions. I'm sure you understand?"

>Swing it around and maybe use it on some trees to level up my sword skills

>Walk over and see what they're doing
"Hmph, I wanted to play with her..."

"...of course i do"
"justice must be served after all."

>step back and take aim

"as soon as we get our end of the bargain we can bring her back..."
>think for a moment
"think we should tell alicia? something tells me she wont be happy with this..."

>Get in the Jeep with the door open
>Reverse the door into a tree to tear it off

"I understand that you tend to show these as examples since you hold prestige and luxury to a higher level, which in other words you consider these factors something that define a man.
But it isn't something i ought for, I am not someone who wants materialism, i just want to become someone I feel proud of."

It remains somewhat stable as you swing it around. You hit a tree and feel powerful as you strike.
You eavesdrop from around a corner. You listen to what says.
"Good. Best of luck."
She walks away and two guards comes.
"Alright lunch time. Stay still."
She unlocks the door while the other stands guard.
66
You step back and raise your gun. He lifts his hand to the air.
"Alright you got me...whoever you are?"
"Yeah that'll be for the best. She'll lose her shit if we suddenly disappear."
You successfully tear off the door after a long effort.
"And will you not feel pride in the Empire? Do you not take pride in military accomplishments? To wake up each morning to a thrilling life knowing that you've gotten this far from your decisions?"

>Walk over to them
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, whatcha doing?"

"alright..."
>start walking over to alicia
notice the cat girl again and comment on it while walking.
"why does that girl have cat ears?"

>staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare
"grown up stuff little girl... where are your parents?"

"You do not need to know. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

>Drive into a random town
>Start grabbing kids up off the street and throwing them into the Jeep while driving around (running over people if they get in the way)

"..."
>I know this will lead nowhere, we already wasted enough time for a conversation that will end up the same
"Alright, i'm in. But i will tell you i'm not good at combat "

"huh? you were at ABS-1? i just got back from there..."
>pulls on your ears to see if they're real
"you could be of use..."

You three begin walking over too Alicia as you chat.
"Names Rick...just a guy trying to survive."
Al walks up and watches with crossed arms.
24
You drive back into the town you were beat up out of and fail to see any children you can easily acquire.
28
You swing the fuck out of the sword, but nothing notable happens. Not even a mark.
38
You fail to see any moment to strike. The second arume always has an eye on you. You get cuffs placed on you and begin walking down a corridor.
"Excellent. Welcome to the Empire. You will now serve under Victoria and Alexandria."
The Arume from behind steps forward.
"Head down to resources and get your gear."

>try to seem cooperative
>still trying to see some opportunity to escape

"Nyah! Don't pull on them!"
>Pushes your hand off of my ears
"W-well, I don't mind helping nyou guys..."
