Welcome to Gaia! ::

Basicly a military/ tactical game. It takes place in the not so distant future. Nomadic alien looking hominids have invaded Earth. We had taken no heed as they destroyed and took over other surrounding planets. They want earthas their next living space because of the great environment that is a lot like theirs. The have futuristic weapons as intel says but not too much different than ours. They want our land more than anything and are apt to do anything to get it. They want to destroy everything and make it their own. The invasion has just begun.

The world's countries has created a militia after New Zealand was attacked killing all the populace to our knowledge. Their is only a few survivors and they have fled. The UNR (United NationsResistance) has amassed everyone they can find to fight against the impending slaughter of the world.

You are all members of the UNR Militia. Guided by you own reason you have decided to fight. Everyone knows the outcome of this war will decide the fate of the entire planet. Already the fight has begun several battalions have been sent to guard the oncoming attack.

You have weapons they are the basic militray weapons used today, several improvements have been made. The military armor is more soffsticated to try to give you the upper hand. The armor is more or less light weight, but can stop most low velocity shells close range and some high powered rounds at high distances. The armor is from the neck down giving even your elbow great protection. A biult in sensor is in the suit of armor. It detects vital signs. It knows what is damaged and sometimes with it you can fix the problem. Example if your heart stops, then it is possible for someone to activate the defibulator inside the armor.


Now as a recruit you are beins shipped out, but first you are given a certain specialty. You are allowed to pick your primary weapon and you can hold to about 4-8 weapons at a time depending on size, not imcluding grenades and ammo. Another technological masterpiece for he military is the zero space holsters on the armor. The handle sticks out, but the weapon is almost inside the armor. You can grab the handle and pull it out and the gun comes out of seemly from no where. It helps against snags and other things.

*You pick 1 weapon as you primary and the what else you are issued is decide by your specialty and what the weapons designator specialtist decides((uuuh..me))*

*Also, pick a side arm, like a handgun. I will accept a sawed off as a side arm*

*Pick a melee weapon for close quarter combat if it get s down to that, preferably militaristc, such as a knife*

You come face to face with your commanding officer he is a staff sergeant named Reeth. Your still in your civilian clothes with a duffle bag of your personal belongings.He hands you a manilla envelope with papers inside. He looks hesitant but goes on. "Glad to see you back in the action, we need a man like you. i have several things to talk to you about, but first things first. There is a brand new top secret experiment for the armed forces. You will be the first to under go the procedure if you decide to agree." You guys start waling and he continues. "The experiment is too make a soldier more effeicient and deadly. It will make you stronger exponintially. You wil be at top perfection. It is possible that you could exceed you human capabilities. So the bottom line is it will make you stronger and allow you to be at the top potential of human ability. However, there is a great risk. It has never really been done before and can cause genes in you body to destruct and leave terribly disfigured. The choice is your I won't sugar coat and say it's no big deal. We belive you got what it takes to make it a succesful operation, but the risk is great. You must decide for yourself, no one will think lesser of you if you back down from the procedure. You stopping walking in front of the barracks. This is were you can stay till we finish the paper work. Make your descision and let me know. He walks away to his office.

Reeth comes up to about an hour later. "So have you decided yet?"

Riley replied back " I was wondering if there was away to just enhance my mind and not so much my body is that possible?"

Reeth thought for a second "Yah, I believe there is a way to do that and it will be less likely of a chance to harm you. Yah, that will be fine. I talked to the doctors over in the surgical wing and they said they could do it first thing in the morning. There wil be a couple of others getting the surgey performed on them too. Your buddy Joe Jenkins there will be ahead of you then it will be your turn. I'll come get you at 7:00 tommorrow morning, be ready."

Reeth turned and left. Riley looked back at Joe Jenkins and he gave a little hesitant smile. He tossed a ball into the foosball table and began playing. Riley and Joe had been playing for awhile, Joe spoke up, "man I'm nervous about tommorrow, I have a bad feeling but this is something I really need to do. I want to serve my country the best I can." Riley nodded thinking about his own operation that would be done tommorrow.

They finished there game and headed back to there beds. Joe was on the top bunk reading a magazine. Riley laid on his lower bunk just laying there thinking, it was a big chance but a chance he was going to take. He felt comfort in the fact there would be less chance of something going wrong, he eventually fell asleep.

He dreamt about the attack on New Zealna it was an intense dream. His was waken by Staff Sergeant Reeth. Riley woke up with a start. He was sweating a little and his pulse was racing. Riley threw on some cloths and Reeth and him started walking toward the hospital wing. As they walked Reeth spoke, "I just wanted to remind of the danger of the operation, it is less since you are just raising your brain functioning, but there is alot of danger in bringing you up to optimal performance." Riley nodded and looked at him, "I know the risks." Reeth smiled as they got to the hospital wing. Riley checked in a got his patient scrubs. The doctors, surgeons, and Reeth walked with you. Riley and the rest came into the room. Reeth said "Hey it's Joe, he did great look at him." Joe was huge now. He was so muscular and was looking around very awarely. "Hey Riley what's up? man that surgery is no sweat, in and out. Riley was laid on a hospital bed next to Joe. Joe was hooked to a couple of Iv's, but looked great. Joe said, "Man Riley I feel so awesome now, I feel ten times as strong as before..." Riley looked at him his face was twisting up a little and it looked like he was having trouble breathing. A mask was put on Riley and he was told to breath in. Riley was watching Joe. He started hearing doctors yelling and rushing toward Joe "His body is rejecting, we got to stabilize him." His readings were speeding up his art rate was going crazy. Joe looked at Riley with a terrified face. Suddenly he jolted and his reading flatlined. He stared at Riley as blood gushed from his nose, ears and eyes. He was gone. The doctors covered his face with a blanket, a coupleof the doctors shook their heads in dismay. Riley started breathing rapidly inhaling the knock out gas. The last thing he saw before he was out was Joe's empty face.

((Let me know if you want me to edit anything Drew))

After hours and hours of surgery, it was finally done. Riley was brought back to conciousness. He lay there groggy. The docors were around him checking differnt readouts and shining light in his eyes for reactoin. Riley felt fine, but thought about Joe briefly. The doctors kept an eye on him for a couple more hours. Reeth came into the room to check on you. He smiled, seems your doing fine Riley. I'm glad two more passed away after there surgery, but it looks like you were strong enough to handle it." Riley was trying to soak the information in, but was still so groggy. Reeth spoke again, "Your are the first to ever make it through, the first ever super soldier. It seems the only negative side effect was your left eye being red permanetly, but that is supposedly a common outcome. I'll let you rest, but we will see how you fair on the training, I'd like to see you in action as soon as possible. The nurses wheeled him to his bed to recover from the surgery.

The point of the drill was to keep on the run and eleminating threats. It was hadr for most people becuase they had to be able to notice barely seeable things. There was Hedge like things, lamp posts, half walls, rocks and benches. The idea was to complete the half mile course, taking out targets within 2 seconds of their arrival. Riley was going to be put to the test it was time to prove himself.

((I know but if I wrote anymore I would have to tell about you going throught the course, and I wanted you to do that.))

Reeth smiled and patted him on the back, "More than exceptional, you have passed with flying colors. It seems the surgery was a complete success." They walked out og the training grounds and went toward Reeth's office. "Play time is over however, in a few short days you will be transferred to active duty meaning you will be out there giving it all for the humankind. We have a few more tests to run to make sure your body is reacting properly, then another test to check you mental and physical stability. First you have a few papers to sign." They walked into the office, Riley took a seat across from Reethe who went to his desk. Reethe pulled a few papers, x's had been wrote to show where to sign. Reethe handed them over to Riley. He got up to get his coffee off of one of the filing cabinets. He grabbed his coffe and before he sat down his phone rang, he picked it up, "Hello." Riley could hear the commotion in the background and the panicked voice. Reethe half placed and dropped his mug on the desk, spilling it a little. Reethe's face went very solemn. He nodded, "I understand," and hung up the phone. He leaned on his desk and looked down then up at Riley, They are attacking the southern tip of Africa."

Reethe took Riley back to his bunk and rushed from the room and yelled back, "I'll talk to you soon, those days you had left might be up already."
