█▌ ░ ░ ▐█
█ ▒ For the first half of the 21st century, the war on terror ▒ █
█ ▓ became a global phenomena as more blatant and frenzied ▓ █
█ █ attacks struck deeper into the lives of common people. █ █
█ █ Inevitably, the pressure from public outcry to stop the █ █
█ █ madness grew to an irresistible level; the military forces █ █
█ █ of the world slowly but steadily retooled their outlooks, █ █
█ █ weapons, and tactics to combat people who were willing to █ █
█ █ die for their cause. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ By 2100, the world was more or less at peace, with █ █
█ █ continued discord in some regions as modernized military █ █
█ █ forces sought to track down and destroy the remaining █ █
█ █ terrorist cells that continued to fight and harass █ █
█ █ civilian and military alike. Regardless, as this war began █ █
█ █ to wane, it slowly moved out of the public's eye, and they █ █
█ █ began to pick up the pieces and try to make better lives █ █
█ █ for themselves. Not since the years following World War II █ █
█ █ had such prosperity been felt across the planet; even █ █
█ █ war-ravaged regions received a "Marshall Plan" of sorts, █ █
█ █ having their infrastructures built up far beyond what they █ █
█ █ ever were before. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ As prosperity grew, so too did the ventures of capitalism. █ █
█ █ In this day and age, science was the 'new capitalism,' █ █
█ █ fueling the growth of amazing new technologies. The first █ █
█ █ high-profile ventures into the creation of a viable █ █
█ █ fusion energy source, an offshoot of the efforts of the █ █
█ █ aging multinational oil companies, began in 2105 in the █ █
█ █ United States, with the backing of billions of dollars in █ █
█ █ venture and government capital. The International Power █ █
█ █ Initiative of 2112, an agreement among nations investing █ █
█ █ in the fusion power project, but eventually including many █ █
█ █ hundreds of other projects based on energy, radically █ █
█ █ restructured how science was to approach new energy █ █
█ █ sources. The level of freedom granted to a group of █ █
█ █ corporations might have been dangerous one hundred years █ █
█ █ ago, but it was felt that today since there was not a █ █
█ █ rivalry in the race to find the secrets of fusion power █ █
█ █ first, that giving a corporation autonomy to do what it █ █
█ █ needed to do would foster creativity and growth on an █ █
█ █ unheard-of scale. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ It didn't. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Some corporations took the spirit of the intent behind the █ █
█ █ International Power Initiative to heart, but a few did █ █
█ █ not. Old habits û greed, lust for power û died hard, and █ █
█ █ the freedoms that the Initiative afforded caused a █ █
█ █ cancerous growth of selfishness to seep into some. One █ █
█ █ major corporation founded on the west coast of the United █ █
█ █ States in 2116 û M.A.G.M.A. Energy Corporation û was █ █
█ █ responsible for tooling some of the machinery that would █ █
█ █ harness the power of a fusion reaction. █ █
█ █ M.A.G.M.A. û which stood for "Multinational Atomic █ █
█ █ next-Generation Millennium Augury" û had one of the more █ █
█ █ lucrative and high-end jobs out of all the corporations █ █
█ █ formed for this international project. As a result, some █ █
█ █ in power saw a potential for creating possibilities out of █ █
█ █ the materials provided û possibilities that ended in █ █
█ █ massive profit, at any rate. Soon, M.A.G.M.A. had created █ █
█ █ dozens of branches throughout its West Coast empire, █ █
█ █ creating many massive facilities throughout the northern █ █
█ █ California wilderness. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ By 2158, the corporations of the world had made █ █
█ █ significant progress and were projecting being less than a █ █
█ █ generation away from a pure, safe source of fusion energy. █ █
█ █ Despite this, a few continued to worry over the carte █ █
█ █ blanche given to the corporations under the Initiative. █ █
█ █ However, the constant good publicity, as well as secrecy, █ █
█ █ around so many of these projects fueled the worry of a few █ █
█ █ that would be involved if anything went wrong. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Many of these worriers, including General Francis J. █ █
█ █ Baker, commander of the US I Corps in Ft. Lewis, █ █
█ █ Washington, wondered how soon the military would be called █ █
█ █ out to help clean up the disaster when something big took █ █
█ █ out half of the West Coast. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The M.A.G.M.A. Energy Corporation had delved into energy █ █
█ █ technologies that created a new generation of laser █ █
█ █ firearms, which was still in its infancy but of great █ █
█ █ interest to the Pentagon and other governments û including █ █
█ █ those terror cells that never fully died. The laser weapon █ █
█ █ technology that M.A.G.M.A. was leading was a story that █ █
█ █ had been reported throughout the world û and had been █ █
█ █ noticed. With such weapons, those in dark places whispered █ █
█ █ to each other, we could change the balance of power. We █ █
█ █ must do it before the hated oppressors turn them against █ █
█ █ us. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Terrorist activity across the globe had declined except in █ █
█ █ small, remote areas, far from the west coast of the United █ █
█ █ States and even farther from the public's eye. Over that █ █
█ █ time, the remaining groups nursed their hatreds and █ █
█ █ planned for when the time would be right to reawaken a █ █
█ █ global revolution. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Something else had planned, too... something far darker █ █
█ █ than anything a terrorist could imagine, something far █ █
█ █ more dangerous than any world government could possibly █ █
█ █ comprehend. It boiled and rolled in ecstasy over its █ █
█ █ discovery, its excitement barely contained at the █ █
█ █ expectation of the juicy, warm power awaiting it just █ █
█ █ beyond the gate. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ On that same May night in 2161, it struck. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Terrorists selected and attacked a relatively █ █
█ █ out-of-the-way facility of the M.A.G.M.A. Energy █ █
█ █ Corporation, located deep in the rolling forested hills of █ █
█ █ northern California, one of the main sites for the █ █
█ █ creation of energy weapons. Overpowering the bored gate █ █
█ █ guards was a simple task, as was silencing their screams. █ █
█ █ The gate slid open, and in they poured. Not having faced █ █
█ █ any security breach of any kind for fifty years had made █ █
█ █ the security component of these facilities extremely lax, █ █
█ █ and no alarm was raised, no steel doors slammed shut. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ And then, It came. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The Gate boiled and rolled, deep inside the M.A.G.M.A. █ █
█ █ Energy Corporation facility, as hundreds upon hundreds of █ █
█ █ employees and family raced and panicked over the alarms █ █
█ █ that finally blared in response to the terrorist attack. █ █
█ █ It smothered the air around it, sucking those unfortunate █ █
█ █ few nearby into its dark embrace, which made it stronger, █ █
█ █ larger. A few security personnel, responding to the odd █ █
█ █ reports from the scientists and family, men, women, and █ █
█ █ children, screaming and running for their lives, found it █ █
█ █ at the end of a large vehicular hallway, a black mass that █ █
█ █ pulsed like a heart. Tendrils, as dark as night, slid █ █
█ █ outward and into the walls, ceiling, and floors, seeking, █ █
█ █ touching, killing û feasting. And yet, that was not █ █
█ █ enough. The presence of so many carbon life forms would █ █
█ █ have made it weep with joy, had it tears to shed. It █ █
█ █ released the Host, much as a mother would release a baby █ █
█ █ to allow it to crawl across a floor in search of a █ █
█ █ favorite toy. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The security guards that were unfortunate enough to be so █ █
█ █ good at their jobs as to be there, saw a creeping, rolling █ █
█ █ mass of unholy creatures come out of the blackness; some █ █
█ █ were spider-like with bladed legs and massive fangs, █ █
█ █ others that walked on what seemed to be hind legs, █ █
█ █ dinosaur-like, but the most hellish version of any █ █
█ █ dinosaur any of them had seen. So many came out that the █ █
█ █ ceiling, floor, and walls were black with racing legs, all █ █
█ █ seeking the delicious flesh in front of them... the Gate █ █
█ █ pulsed with pride as it sought the incredible energy, █ █
█ █ sucking it down, feeding its ability to guide the Host █ █
█ █ into this world, which would keep the carbons at bay while █ █
█ █ it sought to help the Queen turn the planet into a █ █
█ █ husk... The terrorists were not stupid. They found the █ █
█ █ central security core and sealed the base off from the █ █
█ █ outside, to ensure that no scientists would escape; they █ █
█ █ knew families were here, knew that they would be excellent █ █
█ █ leverage when prying the secrets of the laser weapons out █ █
█ █ of them. The screams that filtered in through the complex █ █
█ █ had been going on for some time, but nobody noticed one █ █
█ █ monitor that showed the alien forms tearing a handful of █ █
█ █ security guards apart far below. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The Host spread throughout the complex like wildfire, █ █
█ █ feasting upon the humans, tearing through doors and █ █
█ █ partitions to get at the soft, tasty meat that cowered in █ █
█ █ fear. The Gate continued to eat power, enough to finally █ █
█ █ obey the bidding of the Queen, whom it had been studiously █ █
█ █ trying to put off as it reveled in the delicious feast of █ █
█ █ its own. The Queen would not stand for it, as her children █ █
█ █ needed her attention. She stepped through the Gate, much █ █
█ █ to the disappointment of the latter, for this meant it █ █
█ █ would have to go, to search for a new world while the █ █
█ █ Queen assimilated this one. The Gate would be able to come █ █
█ █ back if it needed more power, but for now, it was no █ █
█ █ longer needed. With a flash of anger, the Gate dissolved █ █
█ █ upon itself. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ M.A.G.M.A. response teams sent to the facility noted the █ █
█ █ gate had been opened; they secured the outer compound and █ █
█ █ closed the gate, sealing it, posting guards. They noted █ █
█ █ the entrances were locked, and had their tech people begin █ █
█ █ to work around the problem. Damn computer problems, they █ █
█ █ thought. Meanwhile, they continued to try to raise the █ █
█ █ interior, with no result. The calls from the outside █ █
█ █ alerted the terrorists, who had made no progress so far in █ █
█ █ finding their quarry, at about the same time that part of █ █
█ █ the Host boiled up onto their floor. Frantically, the few █ █
█ █ hundred terrorists securing that level defended █ █
█ █ themselves, tearing the creatures into exploding bags of █ █
█ █ bloody jelly, but for every one that fell two more took █ █
█ █ its place. The hydra-like mass of evil swarmed over the █ █
█ █ terrorists, tearing them limb from limb, consuming in the █ █
█ █ process.Outside, the tech guys finally had the doors about █ █
█ █ open, when another one finally managed to tap into the █ █
█ █ interior's camera system. █ █
█ █ Their jaws dropped at the incredible carnage, and watched █ █
█ █ helplessly as small groups of skittering, spider-like █ █
█ █ creatures chased small knots of people down blood-smeared █ █
█ █ hallways... █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ " Holy God," the officer in charge said. "Err, Gossett, go █ █
█ █ ahead and re-lock those doors. We gotta re-stage and call █ █
█ █ in some heavy artillery." With an empty feeling in the █ █
█ █ pits of their stomachs and their knees like water, they █ █
█ █ packed their gear; they numbered twenty men total, half █ █
█ █ the complement of this facility, and from what they saw, █ █
█ █ they'd need an army to even think about going back in. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Just before the monitors were turned off, a tech guy █ █
█ █ caught an image of a bloody teddy bear leaning awkwardly █ █
█ █ against a wall. He snipped the image off, his mind reeling █ █
█ █ M.A.G.M.A., not having much of a security back-up force to █ █
█ █ count on, took the recorded images of inside the facility █ █
█ █ and immediately put the call in to the military. General █ █
█ █ Baker, who had for a decade been preparing himself and his █ █
█ █ men for something, anything, sprung into action. It took █ █
█ █ two days to gather a large force armed with the most █ █
█ █ modern firepower and body armor the military could █ █
█ █ provide. Without higher authority, General Baker led the █ █
█ █ column to the south and into the unknown. Reports █ █
█ █ continued to filter in during their journey, and other █ █
█ █ M.A.G.M.A. facilities went dark. What the hell was going █ █
█ █ on? █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ They arrived a day later, the highway cops along the route █ █
█ █ clearing as much traffic as they could. When a M.A.G.M.A. █ █
█ █ representative asked what she and her corporation could do █ █
█ █ to help, General Baker flashed her a hooded look. "Get █ █
█ █ body bags. And all the security personnel you can. Call in █ █
█ █ favors, if you have to, get whomever you can and get them █ █
█ █ fast." He hesitated, then handed her a list. "Here's some █ █
█ █ people that have done some... work for us in the past. I █ █
█ █ know them and can vouch for them. You'll have to pay █ █
█ █ through the nose, but they're well worth it, trust me." █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Nodding vacantly, the representative, still shaken from █ █
█ █ the image she saw a few minutes ago of the bloody teddy █ █
█ █ bear, pulled her cellular phone out and began to dial █ █
█ █ Personnel back in San Francisco. She hoped they'd have the █ █
█ █ checkbooks ready, judging from some of these people's █ █
█ █ descriptions... █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Your phone rings. You ignore it, exhausted from a long █ █
█ █ week. Money was getting scarce, and the prospects of █ █
█ █ finding a "real" job has kept you up late with worry for █ █
█ █ weeks. The phone stopped ringing after the twentieth █ █
█ █ ring... paused... and rang again. Growling, you answer the █ █
█ █ phone. What you hear barely registers in your █ █
█ █ sleep-deprived mind, but your fingers ache in █ █
█ █ anticipation. Real work. A real enemy. And General Baker, █ █
█ █ he was good people. Finishing the conversation, you hang █ █
█ █ up, fire up your laptop, and find the e-mail from █ █
█ █ M.A.G.M.A. that includes all the information you need. █ █
█ █ Now, if you could only remember if you had plugged your █ █
█ ▓ SUV in for recharging last night... ▓ █
