The Agents of GUN: Epidode/Issue 1 [SCRIPT]

The Agents of Gun Episode 1: Operation Moses

Narrator: The planet of Mobius… or so the planet is called now.. used to be a much more simple place, mankind…as was part of their nature, generally were arrogant and felt themselves as the sole arbiters of the planet… and for a large part in their history they were left virtually unchallenged and so there hubris grew to even newer heights.
Nature was secondary to them… only existing as something that could be exploited to their own self-serving ends with little regard to the other species that shared the planet with them.
It was only matter of time before they finally were given their comeuppance.
an alien race by the name of the Xorda punished mankind for its arrogance and treachery by unleashing a weapon that forever altered the planet and nearly destroyed it.

Those that could afford the luxury of cryo-sleep did so with haste as they laid comatose for near a millennia.

In that gap however The once secondary species of the planet evolved into what are now known as the Mobians, the bombs effect significantly altering their DNA structure in such a way that gave them intelligence, an upright posture, and most importantly, the ability to strategize and defend themselves.

Sadly enough, it was only was only matter of time before differences became apparent between the 2 civilizations and promptly kept themselves separate from one another for as long as they could.

Push came to shove…one match to ignite the kindling and the roaring inferno that resulted would seek to settle a score and the test the fates of both sides.

Immediately following the flashpoint, the various overland city states put aside their petty differences formed a common alliance against a common threat…The United Federation, an homage to a similar named human hegemony that existed prior to the day of reckoning.

With a common nation came the Guardian Units of the Nations being the grand army of the United Federation and humanities sole line of defense against the naturally more animalistic and aggressive mobians and the greater imperialistic ambitions of the Kingdom of Acorn .
*location. Forward Outpost Whisky Foxtrot, east coast of overland near the land bridge*

*alarm sounds*

Lt. Allen: *jolts out of bed shocked awake by the red alert with the rest of his squadron scambling for their lockers*

Corpsman Steiner: ve hav been comprmized der commander. *steiner collects the rest of his medical equipment and dressing himself before making the mad dash for the armory to fight off the impending assault*

Lt. Allen: *rushes to and unlocks his locker proceeds to rapidly dress himself with a black shirt under a black bullet proof vest under his signature black trench-coat with red stripes down the sides before taking the lead*  how can we under attack. The surface radar has given us an all clear for months on end.
ALL: *make a mad dash to their respective lockers in their specialized armory*
Engineer Mark: I’ve been pondering the same predicament sir.. Any surface ship they could manage to build from scavenged scrap metal could have been easily been thwarted with our objective air supremacy in this region.

Ratio (Heavy Weapons specialist):  heh, not to metion the huge coastal guns we have could have surely blasted them to bits if they so much as come 500 miles off the coast

*the ground began to rumble and gunfire could be heard outside, from the looks of it, the OPFOR were already past the perimeter fence.*

ALL team Echelon:*the group lead by Lt. Allen known as team echelon finished their load-out of their trademark weapons and made a mad dash for the main exit from their barracks*

Lt Allen: this is just completely out of left field.. even if they managed to slip past our radar array... why did'nt they just out and out go straight for our main cities.. how could they know about our coastal radar mainframe?
RGGH..it doesn’t matter now.. what matters is we cant let them sabotage the central alert system. Otherwise we are in for some deep sh#$ *kicks down main door with a firm kick as the elite squadron spills out into the fray

ALL team Echelon: *begin to rapidly asses the situation as they were quickly trying to pin the direction of the OPFOR.

Lt. Allen:
wheres reese... we need our over-watch.
*gets out hand-held transceiver* REESE do you read!! we need over-watch stat!!

Sniper Reese:
*came to clarity through the rough radio static*
way ahead of you sir. I'm currently camped some ways outside of the main encampment... I would go further into details but I risk compromising the over-watch sir. Ready to engage on your command over and out.

*radio static*

Team echelon subtract Reese and Allen: *began to dig themselves into the nearest cover as covering fire was laid in multiple directions*
Lt. Allen:
*grits teeth in frustration*
Reese...blunt as always. Alright team rally on me. Its time we give whomever son of bitch who got the jump on us a taste of his own broken teeth. OH RAH.

Rest of Team Echelon subtract Reese:  Oh rah!!
Lt. Allen:
*spearheaded the way. Firing his assault rifle with almost pinpoint precision at what laid in-front of him, clearing a way for his teammates to find suitable cover*
small yet vicious...like a swarm of insects!!
Ratio: Allen GRENADE!!! *rushed to push the lieutenant out of the explosives kill zone*
*grenade explodes kicking up a mailstrom of dust and debris, obstructing the squads view*
*Allen and ratio dusted themselves off and picked up their weapons*

Lt Allen:
*rubbing the back of his head in slight embarrassment*
these aren’t the run of the mill tin can SWAT bots I’m used to. The organic units (NOTE: acorn kingdom regulars) are a lot more unpredictable.
*disorientated from the dust cloud.. radios Reese*
over-watch. Intel!!

Reese: the hills have eyes sir.

Lt. Allen: whats your visual Reese. I can,t see a god damn thing. It was a smoke grenade!! *gets into cover with his teammates, hoping to not be facing the wrong direction*

Reese: they seem to obviously be coming in from the direction of the coast... their element of surprise was clever but their follow up seems really sloppy and now theirs just flailing at this point. Almost as if their looking for something. They dont seem to want to assault our squad head on... smart move on their part.

Lt. Allen:  can you get a pin on their leader

*leans out of cover, sniping off a couple of mobians with his officers pistol*

Reese:

*maneuvers his sniper scope away from the squad towards the coast*

I got a visual sir on top of what seems to be a crude submersible...you probably wont believe this but...
*snickers*
its a skunk in a mullet.


Lt. Allen:
* tries to hold In a laugh*

phh..okay... novelties aside that explains everything.... but to think they could manage to....

Commando Mitchell:
*activates thermal goggles*
sir I have made thermal/visual contact through the obstruction, all known opfor are planting charges at the coastal radar control mainframe.
Lt. Allen: (you had one job Allen, ONE JOB,) we cant lose this outpost to those stinking mutants.. if they succeed is blowing up our radar alert system, are entire coastline is open for a  surprise naval invasion not seen sense Normandy.
Mitchell you are clear to engage, you're the one with the visual!!!

Mitchell: Rodger that, engaging the sappers

*raises weapon into firing position but is rudely interupted by crossbow bolt to his right arm, causing him to drop his weapon*

aHHHHHHHHHH WTF!!!

*falls to the ground in agonizing pain*

REST of echelon:
MITCHELL!!!

Steiner: dumkomph!!! ve have to get mitchell out of der line ouf fire!!

Lt. Allen: Steiner, Ratio, get mitchell out the line of fire before the smoke clears...Those bastard mobians dont even need their eyesight!!! DAMNIT!!!

Ratio and Steiner: *nod in agreement as ratio lays down covering for Steiner*

Lt. Allen:

*brings up transceiver*

Reese you are clear to engage the sappers. {-note: sapper is a quick hand term for a combat engineer.-}


Reese:

*on the radio*
Rodger that... the'll be an easy hit unlike that acrobatic skunk eughh... hugh hey wait. The winds even blowing with my shot. ...wait... what...Who are yo...
*radio transmission cuts off*
Lt. Allen:
Reese...REESE!!! DAMN IT WE LOST CONTACT WITH REESE..HES IN TROUBLE!!!

Steiner:

*succesfully dragged miller back into cover*

[MEANWHILE WITH REESE AND THE POTENTIAL  ASSAILANT]

Reese:
*blocks combat knife with sniper rifle*

What the hell... how could you...

Hershey: oh you stupid mongrel overlander you. I could smell your horrid scent miles out to sea.

Reese:
*parrys combat knife with his sniper rifle*
WHY YOU LITTLE!!!
*attempts to hit Hershey with the but of his rifle only to have it kicked out of his hands by hershey*
*rolls out of the way and get up to his feet, assuming a hand to hand combat readiness pose*
Hershey:

*gives a taunting “bring it on”hand genture*

Reese:
you stupid pussy AHHHHHHH!!!

*charges hershey with combat knife drawn*
[MEANWHILE BACK WITH THE REST OF ECHELON]

Lt. Allen:
dammit... they already set the charges and are heading back to their ship... my best guess is we have 60 seconds at best!!

steiner: der kommander sir, I managed to remove die bolt...it vas poison tipped sir.... I managed to stabalize hus condition yet I dunt tink he can recover from zis in a day. I'm terribly sorry.. but I hav to montitier hiz conidition until we can get him adequate medical attention.
Ratio: I have to cover for steiner so I’m also pinned.

[shot cuts to bombs ticking down into the 40's the back to  team echelon]

Lt. Allen: Markus on me. Its just you and me. We have to disable those charges.

Both mark and allen: *make a mad rush for the charge*
Mark: all we have to do is cut the  red wire of the central timer so the explosive cascade would fail to start.
Lt. Allen: ...wait were was that guy who shot Mitchell earlier?!

Geoffry St. John:

lookin for me mate?!

*hits Allen in the ribcage with his flying kick, throwing the lieutenant off balance and onto the ground*

Engineer Markus: SIR!!!

Lt. Allen:
*holds out hand*

NO markus...you focus on disabling the charges... I got this smelly bastard!!

Lt. Allen:

*slowly gets to his feet, bracing the side that was hit with one of his hands*

Markus:

….oookay...

*reluctantly makes a run for the charges*



[ cut to reese fighting with hershey]

Reese:
*attempts to hit the ever so agile hershey through acrobatic swings of his combat knife*

RUGGGH....EGGHHH....RAHHH...CMON STOP MOVING!!!

Hershey:

*gracefully dodges each and everyone of reeses attacks with incredible ease*

Ohhhh give me a break overlander... you don’t honestly think you can keep up with my naturally superior reflexes.

In fact I would see im superior to you in almost every category to be honest. Hm hm hm.

Reese:
Shut up YOU ----!!!

*gets more frantic and aggressive with his knife swings*

Hershey:
*jumps clear above  Reese’s desperate flurry*
you really are a fool.
*kicks Reese in the face, stunning him*

[ CUT BACK TO LIEUTENANT ALLEN AND ST. JOHN]

Lt. Allen: Hey.. STINKBREATH... if your looking for the commander.. I’m right here.

*gets into a professional fighting stance*

Geoffry St. John:
All according to plan.

*gets into his own fighting stance*

Narrator:

and so with the sudden surprise attack and their confidentiality making reinforcements a virtual impossibility. The fate of the entire coastal defense early warning system rests solely in Team Echelons hands.
But why does this skunk have such a vested interest in fighting Lt. Allen, is Reese still holding is own against the likes of Hershey and her (naturally) cat like reflexes?

All will be revealed next time on the Agents of GUN!!!
