    "As Kiliari was shuffling towards us, from the cloud of ash and dust kicked up by the bombardments, a bunch of guards come out. These guys just won't give up! I grab out my rifle and shoot a few of them, but they notice me and begin emptying bullet cartriges into me. I take cover behind a bunch of barrels and only then did I notice the red colour of the barrel and the sign on it, saying: Warning, Explosive!

    SHIET. It wasn't long at all until one of the guards managed to put a bullet in that thing and the whole barrel caught fire. There were a few boxes between me and it but they weren't enough to shield me from the fire ball. I get thrown at a bunch of trash cans and get knocked out. The next thing I remember is Viktor digging me out of the pile of rubbish and Jack blow-torching a man-hole, while Kiliari was sitting behind cover shooting at all the soldiers. Viktor helps me up and I notice that one of the circuits in my arm overheated and broke, so I couldn't move my fingers anymore, and considering I'm right-handed, I can't shoot a gun anymore until I get it fixed. Viktor grabs me and we jump into the sewers, where he says:

    If we head north, we can get out of the city and enter Terran territory again."

    "Okay, we're in the sewers, now... Where to go? It's so dark, so I turn on the flash-light imbeded in my cyber-eye (don't ask) and I notice some guy running towards us. We all rise our guns but he says that he's friendly. An insect-looking guy comes up to us and Jack kinda freaks out. He says he knows this place like the back of his hand and he takes us with him. He seemed pretty agitated, but I guess insectoide biology is weirder than human one.

    We kick in a man-hole and we end up in the city's canals, where a small boat with Terran soldiers has been waiting for us.

    How did you know we were here? I ask.

    I sent them a message. Dum-dumb. Says Viktor.

    We and the insectoid guy board the boat and we sail the waters of the canal, until we enter open waters. We sail north until we reach a small base, from which we board a train to the main base. The general congradulates us and says that we can skip the next mission, to heal our injuries and rest. The moment we arrived, Kiliari's leg began bleeing everywhere.

    We grab him and take him to the medical centre, where all the medics were pretty much gone. The only ones who were even vaguely prepared for surgery were I and the insectoide, who was named Sorax. I had great knowlege of the human nervous system and circulatory system, so I dealt with keeping the bleeding in check. Once we were done, since his leg was so smashed up, I took some of the titanium from the lab and used it to re-build his bone, which was totaly shattered. We stiched up the wounds and we left Kiliari sleeping.

    Meanwhile, I notice the base had an 'identity check'. I've heard of those, you prick your finger and take a blood sample, give it to the computer and it tells lots of thigs about you by patching into the identity identifing system we had to sumbit to a few years ago.

    It says to me:

    Name: [ERROR] Galgher

    Race: Human

    Class: Scientist/soldier

    Perk: Very smart; great talent in the fields of nuclear physics, nano-robotics, biology and bio-engineering

    Weaknesses: Easily knocked uncouncious; light drinker; prone to heavy bleeding

    Age: 23

    Hang on... I never remember being called 'Galgher' "

    While Mortem was in the identity identifiying system room, I sudy the patients with a Portascope, and discover are weird bacteria in a wound............

    "As I was busy having an identity crisis in the identification room,  Sorax was studying the wounds of Kiliari and he calls me, saying he found something weird. He pulls me up to the portascope and shows me all the weird bacteria in Kiliari. They looked oddly familiary, then I realize it's the same bacteria that infected me a while ago. I then point out to him that hey are actually viruses, not bacteria, before going on a mini-rant about the differences between them.

    I come up to a realization, I was once infected, but I survived, so my body must have already evolved a natural immunity to the virus. Knowing that my cells have memorized the virus and know how to deal with it. I take a syringe and after a few quick scannings, stab it into one of my body's lynth node and pull out a bunch of helper T cells and memory cells. I then stab it into one of Kiliari's lynth nodes and now... We can't do much more than wait..."

    "My name... um, I almost forgot it, it is something like 'Gustav'... I don't really... oops... it's 'Gustavo', heheh! I started as a... amm... engineer. I am also a... well, researcher, somewhere between rookie and veteran.. I make smart time bombs and weaponry. I also researched ultracool and ultrahot pipes and made some clay gun prototypes that could be used as a jet to make some strong covering made of solid clay. Once a time I even made a robotic pigeon that was made as my first try to make something artificial that flew, with the objective to reach my best plasma blowtorch that I left above my high shelf. However it flew as I couldn't speak his language -- I have forgot my language chart! It was above my shelfs as well, but once I found them, it was too late, the pigeon got tired and got far from home (more like a lab) -- anyways I would never recover it. I don't remember how did my chart ended up there, honestly. Once they discovered the cloning technology about a decade ago, I did used it on my clay gun prototypes so that the clay (and water, in every version but in the first one) did never ended... though, one way or another, they didn't work, thanks to the fact the clay, once I made it wet, hardened immediately once it reached the compressed air's pressure, resulting in flying CLAY rocks... I also tried to mix it with water in the wall - it is, to shoot water and clay in different jets - and it did were the best result, though to be honest, still a little bit imprevisible. So far that is the version I store. Maybe with much more pressure the jets get thin enough so they NEVER ever encounter together to produce hardened CLAY during the path, though, to be honestly, 500Kl is still a very little bit far from affording a super pump that could realize such amount of pressure, and even farther - actually an miracle - to make one superpump for each jet (WATR and CLST) - as I need. So then, while I was going to a certain adoption center to see if someone found my metal pigeon, I accidentally stumbled into a somewhat 'secret' room called 'Identification Room' acessible when I pulled the arm of my seat, and therefore stumbled also with someone covered in metal and bandage from feet to head, and another one near that caleld him 'Kiliari'... no, he was called 'Mortem' I accidentally fell then in a syringe with a rich organic soup full of antibodies and T cells, along with weakened versions of a weird virus (weakened versions of virus are in real world called 'vaccines', which are made to be fought by the antibodies as some practice, so they remember about the virus, and act much better in immunity against other viruses of same species), and opened another wound in such 'Killiari'... again, 'Mortem'... I were confused for a minute, and I asked...

    --'much pardon, I w...was a bit dizzzzzzzzy at't the t..time and... umm.. better now...'

    I got muuuch afraid, have I gotten infected? Because there opened an tiny crack in the syringe, but I have once heard microorganisms are much smaller (''micro'er'') than an human cell..."

    "Who... Who the Hell is this guy? Isn't this supposed to be an ultra-super-secret military base? How did he get here. The guy seemed pretty tired, so I ask him what's up.

    He litterarly looks up and says: Well... The ceilling.

    Jack suddently enters the room and says:

    Eh guys, some reports say that an intruder got into the base and- Then he notices the guy.

    Err. Who are ya? I ask the man that dropped on the syringe filled with the helper T cells.

    Well... I'm err. Gustav...

    Um. Nice to meet ya, Gustav. I say.

    Oh no, wait. Not Gustav... Gustavo!

    Erm. Nice to meet you, Gustavo. I say again.

    Jack shuffles over to me and whispers in my ear:

    This guy has a few screws loose.

    Don't be rude. I say back.

    Ergh.. I'll deal with him, you guys stay here and deal with Kiliari. Says Viktor, who was sitting in the doorway, trying not to piss himself from laughing.

    Kiliari says he's feeling far better and that we can go. So I go back to the R&D department and tell everyone not to disturb me. I'll be working with some very sensitive materials and the slightest noise could blow the whole department up."

    "So yeah. I am very little dizzy still, but relatively much better. I just catch myself unconciously mixing NITR with THRM, ready to blow up that sensitive C-5 or whatever he is working on, and with it the base. I immediately hide it in my lab jacket embarassedly. I see another of these identification machines and decide to do an check, just for security.

    Name: Gustavo Ramos Rehermann the Fourth

    Age: 21 (if not 11)

    Perk: Science Researching, Engineering and Developing

    Weaknesses: Sometimes caught unconciously doing some scientific thing

    Race: Human

    Class: Engineer/Scientist/Researcher, whatever fits better

    Pet: unknown. I remembered of my pet android pigeon whom I carefully named Lagnadium, but I still decide not to speak much about it. Only I were searching him since about the start of this year, but at the time Mortus and Killian did introduced already...

     I find an oddly familiar silhouette in the solar window. Remembers an pigeon but it is in metal. Only when I noticed...figured out, amazingly shocked, got so traumatic I almost entered in coma, while Viktor (i think it's this name, the boys call him like this) did came to hold me before I'd felt in an apparently-open sewer hole. Why the Hell isn't this closed?, thinks me, during the (almost-)coma. When I wake up, Major Vincent the II (I saw him in my sleeptime history books!) were in the corner, and said:

    - Who the hell is this guy?

    - The same that Mortus asked when he got, apparently by the secret entrance of the seat's arm, maybe accidentally. Anyways he might be helpful. But his name is Gustavo. He did for an second mistaken his name by Gustav, who knows it's because he was somewhat dizzy. He's now shocked with some pigeon that got in the window, for some reason entered in coma, almost coma. Wait, that bird is the same that reported some months ago for being badly treated by some driver?

    - Wow, my android-pigeon creation, suffered all that? - ask me, once waking up. In the ending of evening, the android pigeon, say, Lagnadium, might have though roughly the same about me, but I think I opened the window and he felt in the hands of the Major.

    - What is that? - asks once again the Major, seems like he forgot all what Viktor had just said.

    - My pet I made, it is, at least was before I accidentally lost it.... amm... with the open window - I lie about the incident with the language charts so they don't think I did somehow treated him bad or forgot about him. 

    - Now I finally can grab my plasma blowtorch above my high shelf, I meant, I finally got my beloved pet back. - I'm very sincere and past years it have been each time harder to lie well (in coincidence with my real life lol :P )

    - Maybe you really are losing some screws like Jack said. Anways better not to be much rude with someone new. I guess I'll just hand you out of this base, if you really got here accidentally.

    That's when my thermite-nitroglicerin mixture did felt off my jacket. I knew my weakness of often falling asleep/unconciously doing something, without knowing, would do something bad one day or another... only didn't how or when.

    Unfortunately, erm nitroglicerin is pressure sensitive and therefore, impact sensitive, just like were before Charles Nobel invented the TNT. Well anyways, this means the following:
    Boom.

    I still don't remember anything from the meantime, and I'm probably meant to never remember anything. Though one thing is assured: either the ultrasecret base did blown up partially, or it did were completely rebuilt - the latter of which seems almost impossible, but whatever, the first one were either as well.

    I'm still sorry for the wound I might have opened even further on Kilian... well, I don't know..."

    I am worried...... that the infection looks like it came from a Kermium, a moving crab-like animal-eating plant that is about 8 inches long. The victum must of stept on one. It means that Mortum must'v encoutered one before - possibly while they were still seeds. If there is one, there must be others - for they live in colonies. They once tried to colonize my home planet after being accidently introduced, but were wiped out because of the threat of wiping out all life on that planet.
