Future Shock (Initial Project)

Vol. 3 Chapter 14 - Prelude to Incursion

—~~—~~—~~—

With the elimination and/or capture of strategic Forts & Outposts, and the 'flush out' of minor Outposts, The Ground Defence Force currently borders the Far western Territory of the Empire, also preventing the UKP to go ahead and steam-roll through that specific territory until further notice.

Meanwhile, the Royal Pluvimian Army steam-rolled through the cut-off Territory Eventually reconnecting the South to the North, However King Cenric became wary of the North, as the northern nobles that were stuck with them prior to this already planned and felt compelled to strip him off his power and send the United Kingdom back into its unwanted stage of Expansionism.

—Primary Base, Sickbay—

I brought the found group of slaves and prisoners to the Primary base's sickbay, due to faster response and comfortable treatment. We used two rooms, as the numbers were about 31 say, each room could hold about 20 patients, so essentially one room has half the total capacity, and one of them which Appears to be an old man was being treated for his severe handicap-type injury.

I was currently conversing with Marie, one of the major individuals in the Department of Health, outside of the rooms, sitting by a two-seat table. I waited outside until further notice from the doctor and nurse treating Half of the seemingly 'high-ranking' patients, at-first I assumed them to be typical imprisoned slaves, that had relations to one-other, but after awhile I gradually began to receive the gist that they are more than what they claimed or appear to be.

The conversation was quite friendly and calming, which put me at ease, I eventually said her something that lingered in my mind for awhile.

"You Know Marie, Just talking to you makes me calm and composed, To be completely honest you really remind me of someone back in my past life."

"Your mother I presume?" She asked, as she laid down her cup of tea.

"I-..."

"*smile*..." That smile made a bit uneasy.

"Didn't Kara tell you?" She asked, her smile still present but less uneasily beaming.

"O-Oh, Right... Important personnel are given sufficient but not too much information regarding my past. I feel a little... Violated, but understanding it already, will be less painful than for me to say it..." I replied.

"Were you really worried about her?"

"...How could I not be...? She is my mother, my only family left, the same one that raised me to be positive and adaptable... My Gratefulness and Care cannot be measured precisely."

She gave off an expression of interest, as she finished up her tea.

"I shall not push you any further, Director. I pray that you will be able to finish this war swiftly."

"Thank you, Marie."

The door to the room which held the 10 individuals opened, with the Doctor walking out.

"Director, The individuals have Been recovering quickly, they may may wake up soon."

"Alright, Doctor Marlowe. Thank you for your time Marie."

"No problem, Director." She faintly waved.

I passed Dr. Marlowe, entering the Room and closing the door behind me. I turned towards one of the Beds, there laid the girl that we broke out from her chains in an isolated chamber. I sat on the revolving chair next to her bed, I was waiting for her to wake up for her to answer a few of my questions.
