Somewhere in Finland

[Deleted member 624]

Dwelve into a journey, a journey through Finland...

Inspired by the World Map​

---

A midnight winter in the dull City 62, two conscripts are guarding the supply depot from a tower.

"Funny how we still have to commit our conscription service, this being a permanent one..." the Senior conscript complained. "You don't like it either?"

Junior wasn't bothered to reply, having only one hour of sleep was exhausting enough.

The Senior went outside the tower to be relieved by the new Junior. On the way in he said to the current Senior to move over, it was his time on the tower chair for the rest of the night. Lazy Junior had the best sleep hours for tonight's rotation...

The waves of the sea whip the concrete of the harbor, the wind is gaining pace.

Somewhere in the Gulf of Finland, Winter.​

Console is alarming, the rings echoes through the wet hallways​

"Lookout, Lion King."

The microphone crackles as it's picked up.

"Lion King... Hill."

"Matt. Captain, we're hearing mechanic noises coming from Sector 4, over."

"Mechanic noises coming from Sector 4, lookout, precise your watch and start documentation. Break. Where is the weather report? Over."

The other end's wire radio, while not on, emits barely noticeable whispers of the crew insulting themselves.

"Captain, we forgot to report as we have been precising on Sector 4. Over."

Excuses.

"Lookout, stand by, over and out."

"Over and out."

The Captain puts down the radio, picking up another.

"Lion King, detective."

"Detective... Hill."

"Matt. I need weather report for lookout on Sector 4, over."

"Captain, 15m/s, 137 degrees, 9°C, Rain."

"15m/s, 137 degrees, 9°C, Rain."

"Affirmative"

"Over and out."

"Over and out."

He puts down the radio, picking the earlier one up.

"Lion King, Lookout."

...

...​

"Lion King, Lookout."

On the other end of the radio, the Captain heard wooden furniture breaking and the wind breezing. Two static pops could be heard that made the noise fade for a while.

"Lion King, Lookout."

Crackling voices followed up, chatting in the room from the other end.

Captain put the radio on the monitor desk, he then picked up the radio that would lead to the 4 Lions.

"Lion King, 4 Lions."

"4 Lions, Hill."

"Matt, Sector 4 is overrun."

"Sector 4 is overrun."

"Mechanical noises were heard, possible Overwatch, bring an RPG, over."

"Mechanical noises, possible Overwatch, bringing RPG, over."

"Over and out."

"Over and out."

Captain put the radio down, tuning a red switch until the lights dimmed out to red aswell.

From the eastern outlands towards City 62 supply yard​

Conscript Personel Carrier
Lancer-1
Crew: 3
Infantry: 6

Conscript Battle Tank
Catapult-1
Crew: 4


"Lancer-1, Catapult-1."

"Catapult-1"

"You got a heady on your Engine."

"Must be waiting for the next gas-stop, we didn't bring snacks."

"Catapult-1, halt, we will squash it."

"Affirmative Lancer-1, we're halting over!"

The two vehicles in the convoy moved to an abrupt stop.

The Personnel Carrier turned it's turret to the head-crab that was running ontop of the tank, clueless of it's surroundings.

A single shot was by it's own right overkill ​

"Lancer-1, Catapult-1."

"Catapult-1, you got us a new paint job?"

"Affirmative, get the gears rolling we don't have all day waiting for more surprises."

"Roger Lancer-1, proceeding over."

From Cache Bravo towards Lookout​

---

The radio phone rang with a ringing alarm
​

It went so quick, our Corporal ordered us to gear up in 5 minutes and now we are lined up outside with the power of 3.

"Specialist, give me a hand over here" i ran to the Corporal who was gesturing a box he was moving from the cache "You'll be taking the Rocket Launcher, we got Intel that there may be some vehicles where we are going."

Opening the box revealed a guided rocket launcher with a red laser on it, i grabbed it with two rockets and threw it on the sleigh that was tied on the snow bike.

Once i was ready did the Corporal order the Private and First class to take the snow bike. The two of us would Scout from the sleigh that was being dragged.

"Destination: Lookout" The corporal yelled, and we would slide on the open ice with a roaring start.

The Corporal raised his radio "Bravo, 4 Lions."

"4 Lions, Hill."

"Matt, We are heading towards Lookout with the power of 4, RPG is with us with 2 rockets over."

"Moving to Lookout, power of 4, RPG with 2 rockets over."

"Confirmed, over."

There was a brief silence from the other end.

"Over and out."

Corporal repeated with the same.

"Over and out."

Corporal followed with giving a pair of binoculars for me to observe out surroundings.

...

...

...
​

"Corporal, i got visual on lookout; north west!"

Empty apartment in City 62​

---

Waking up was quiet for once

I went to the stove to cook myself the leftovers from the plastic supplement jar.

Smelt and tasted like plastic but felt like porridge in my mouth.

I heard knocking echoing from the front room.

"Yeah, yeah i will get it, what now?"

...

The knocking got more intense...

...

Someone has a hurry to the bathroom or something?

As i was to open it, the unhinged door was bashed to my face. Falling to the ground with pain and light on my eyes. The only thing i could make out was an angry masked man shouting on the top of his lungs with a transmitting voice to not...?

I didn't get to hear the last part...

...as if i had just been struck by a lightning


...

...

I woke up standing, hearing my neighbor screaming from the nearby block in horror.
The protectors shouted at me to stand up while i was thrown into a truck.

Walking past me a proud protector with his stick held high gutted me ravenously in the stomach.

"<::Late for work?::>" he laughed on his way out off the vehicle, then waving his stunstick in gesture to the driver.

The doors began closing with the screams from outside fading away.

Sealed shut, the room became it's own vacuum of pain and cold sweat.

The engines muffled as the vehicle started to rumble away.

Above the hydraulic doors had a small poster been pitched up;

DUTY​

Wouldn't this best be suited for Creative Corner or Roleplay documents? Just a question I have since reading this I am not exactly sure what to count this as so far comes off as a story more than something I can add to the lore/world map. But if I am wrong, please do clarify. Not sure if we got something like this in our lore already and if we do then I can get it through as nothing really comes out as a problem here, seems quite interesting.

Yes, could this be moved there

What's with the English names?

What's with the English names?

The stories are targeted for English speaking audience. I see no point in writing finnish titles, for instance for the ranks.
