M.E.G. Base Beta, Level 11, 25 Dec 2024, 00:09
<BEGINNING TRANSMISSION>
[Unknown Announcer]: (talking through the street speakers) How many of you have died already? How many more people have to die before you realize your leaders abandoned you? Why do you sacrifice yourselves for people who don't have your best interest at heart? They abused your loyalty and left you all behind to rot, to bear the full weight of their consequences alone. So right now, right this very moment, you need to make a decision. Continue to fight and die… or… lay down your weapons and surrender peacefully… Give yourself up, and god will forgive you.

[Overseer K]: Beta actual, do you read? What's your status?
[Beta 2]: Beta 2 actual reporting.
[Overseer K]: Beta 2, priority comms only, where is your C.O?
[Beta 2]: Chief of Security Beta Actual is KIA, I am the acting C.O.
[Overseer K]: Copy, Beta 2, give me a sitrep.
[Beta 2]: Explosions hit the fortified walls on the four wings and the command center! We have set up improvised fortified walls and scattered our MRAPs on each wing.
[Overseer K]: Copy. We just left the M.E.G. embassy with multiple reinforcements coming to your location. Secure your personnel and defend your position!
[Beta 2]: Fuck! What was that?!… I-I'm sorry, but you need to hurry! Our defenses will collapse very soon. Strange fighter jets are destroying our MRAPs from above and hordes of hostile entities are making their way into the North wing! The remaining improvised fortified walls won't stand any longer and we are running low on ammo!
[Beta 4]: Beta 4 actual reporting… Entities just breached the East wing… I am badly wounded…
[Beta 3]: Beta 3 actual reporting! Entities have breached the West Wing! We're going to get surrounded!
[Beta 2]: All teams! Cut your losses! Fall back and regroup to the underground tunnel. Bring as many civilians and personnel as you can.
Rally point at Beta 5.

[Overseer K]: Beta 2 actual, reinforcements are coming in 10 minutes. Hang in there-
[Overseer S]: Overseer K… Looks like you got some… problems?
[Overseer K]: You! Where are you right now?! We were trying to reach you!
[Overseer S]: It's no use K. Are you enjoying the show? It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, so why don't you just sit back and admire it?
[Overseer K]: What the hell are you talking about?!
[Overseer S]: (laughing out of satire)
[Overseer K]: Don't tell me… You're behind all that?!
[Overseer S]: Correct deduction, K. Bullseye, like always.
[Overseer K]: Don't you realize what you're doing?! You are responsible for the death of thousands of people already!! You will not get away from that. The M.E.G. will stand against any aggressors and believe me, humanity will always win against monsters like you.
[Overseer S]: Is that so? Ahahah… Just let me ask one question, K.. Do you trust your own men?
[Overseer K]: Of course I do! My men are loyal!
[Overseer S]: Think about it, if your men don't surrender, then either way they're dead. Either my sons will kill them… or themselves will? (sighing) Your only option is to give yourself up.
[Overseer K]: Spare me your nonsense…
[Beta 5]: …
[Beta 5]: Gentlemen, lower your weapons and open the doors. DO NOT resist! you are surrounded, Beta 2.
[Beta 2]: Beta 5? What the- Have you lost your mind?! Come on mates, don't get fooled by them. They will KILL US ALL once we open these doors!
[Beta 5]: These doors won't last any longer. We have a better shot with them than the M.E.G. at this point. I will do whatever is necessary for the survival of my men. Don't make me pull the trigger, Beta 2. So, now, execute!
[Overseer K]: Beta 2, DO NOT execute, that's an order!
[Beta 2]: Shit…
[Beta 5]: I said, EXECUTE!
[Beta 2]: No… TO HELL WITH Y- (gunshot)
[Beta 5]: We can't afford to waste any more time. Okay, everyone, trust me and drop your weapons. We surrender.
[Overseer K]: Fuck… FUCK!
[M.E.G. Commander]: Sir! Should we turn back?
[Overseer K]: No… Base Beta is just 1 kilometer away. We still need to retrieve our data and check if there are any survivors… Everyone check your weapons and prepare for contac-
[A noise emits from Overseer K's radio]
[Overseer K]: Uh? Why is my radio ringing now? For Christ's sake!… Anonymous number?
[M.E.G. Commander]: This must be Overseer A calling on an emergency line.
[Overseer K]: Hello? Overseer K speaking.
[Unidentified caller]: Don't go to Base Beta, the area is still under enemy control. Don't try to save everyone - you will end up killing yourself. Instead, meet us at the Rosemary Hotel in District 14. We have to discuss… between members of the resistance.
[Overseer K]: The resistance? There is such a thing?
[Unidentified caller]: Trust me, Overseer K. Both you and I are on the same side. And it's not like you have the choice anyway.
[Overseer K]: …
[Overseer K]: Fine. Wait for us.
[Overseer K]: Alright everyone! The main objective has shifted. We're heading to the Rosemary Hotel.
