[LINGSHAN ISLANDS, 2020]
For different reasons of yours, you accidentally ended up into the recent battlefield that has been unleashed in the islands, between the military of the U.S Government... and a different threat. The CEPH. An advanced alien race you still have no special knowledge about...
The military is triying to rescue as many civilians as possible, as they are now evacuating the island because of the gigantic threat the creatures mean.
Soon, you would encounter yourself face-to-face with some these critters. They are not like the massive one you saw earlier, thankfully... Instead, they are human-sized squid-like beings. But... still higly aggressive.
Before you can even react (FIGHT/FLEE), the creatures are completely pierced in proyectiles, which are shot from an unknown direction. They are easily eliminated by such firepower.
As you look behind... someone wearing some type of.. advanced armor or suit, inside the machine gun spot of a military car, starts a dialogue with someone trough radio, while he jumps out of the vehicle...
Strickland? I found someone to my way there. Should I take them with me, I assume?
.....
Got it. Going.-- Nomad approaches you, eager to get out of here. Listen. Im part of the military government, and I have received orders to rescue any civilians I see on my way to the evacuation airships.
So follow me! You dont have to if you want to stay here with those sushis, though...
Nomad runs over, back to the car.
What are you waiting for? Hop in!
