Reality? O SHI-
We never thought that it would happen to us. It was wlways something that happened overseas, or in the next city, not in your own. We were your typical kids, thinking that with a gun we were untoughable.
Boy were we wrong.
-------------------------------------
December 16th, 2500 (narrorator is Eight, boys are classified with a B or M in front of number)
"Hey B4, you got that door locked?" It was Six, worrying again
"Oh for the love of- were smack in the middle of a millitary fort, whats gonna happen?",B4
"You never know, someone could breach the security. Nobody knew just how right she was gonna be.
"Great Scott..." a clank, "There, satified?", he rolled his eyes.
"Not really, not untill the bad people are gone for good, but I guess its the best I can hope for", Six droned on. We went to sleep, 30 minutes later, and then B2 woke us up at 3. "Hwa?"I mumbled.
"Get your gun, stay low, stay still, and shut up." B2 warned, "I think i heard a thud"
The adreniline snapped on and I was suddenly wide awake. "Six, get the IR goggles over here" I yelled quietly. She came back a minutes later with the thing and B2 put it on and cursed. Apparently, someone DID get through, and took M3 down. We later saw a 6 foot body bag in M3's station. One of the Night Snipers got the guy, just before he went to rip out a firebomb. As for how he got in, it baffles me how he an 120 feet in open corutyeard without getting spotted by M3.
I wonder why we didnt have the floodlights on this night.
-----------------
Nobody hit for the next month, so B9, opne of the amusement guys, had the idea that going out in the night was fun. Six bluntly denied, Two dared herself to go without a weapon, but then M4 came in, and said otherwise. He also said hed come with, as he had buisness, and SIx jumped to going with us. Love anybody? B4 and B9 came too, as with B2 and B8, Two's and my guards. B2 was more protected than protector, as Two was a crazy girl. Six clung to M4 and B9 just came to be the judge. M4, as cool as he was, was paranoid he couldnt drive whenever he wanted. Roumour spawned that he was from 2000, and it was backed up by the huge gun he had, that looked like a MG42, and an old SF-SMG.
It was after 20:00 that disaster struck. B9 was the first to to go down, but not out. Luckily there was a metal tree lying on its side nearby, and we barreled behind it. We didnt know who it was, but the shots sounded like .45's.
Someone had a Tommy gun.
M4 pulled out the largest metal cutter knife youd ever see, and opened a hold, and fired his huge gun. Finding a small gap in the brances, I dived thre and looked for a target.
There were none.
Either they were hiding well, or it was automated, and either way i didnt like it. B2 and B8 mentioned to follow, and Two, Six and I did just that. We heard a hiss, and the battlefield was smoky. That was B fell forward, a long pole sticking out his head. I dived to him, grabbed his belt, and than got peppered by brains as his head blew up.
The others caught up, and Six, B4, M4 anfd I went off one way, while the others stayed forward. I chucked grenades round behind us, and got someone. I saw the symbol for only a second, and puzzled over it. It looked like something I saw before...
Next instalation probably monday, or later today when I thaw out from the cold
