Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The gestalt, and the invasion of the outer arm
A few days after arriving at black box project Thanatos...
I got woken up by one of the artificial intelligences that calls himself mark 3849. "Ugh... What happened?" I asked mark. "Well... Sir... You got drunk last night. I'm surprised you survived all of that beer sir. You should've died from the beer poisoning due to all those kegs." Said mark 3849. "Well mark I hate to tell you I'm German so that's normal. Plus most of my organs are augmented. Well except for the brain, skin, bladder, and stomach. Well are you all done 3d printing, and creating all the equipment and ammunition? Including the depleted uranium, and the uranium slugs for the electro magnetic rail guns for fleet?" I asked mark. The fleet is preparing to attack for a galactic council controlled planet. I smiled at the thought of killing those filthy xeno's. Oh I'm going to enjoy killing the xeno's who exploit their human workers. Then mark looked at me like I was deranged. Well fair enough considering I'm damn well planning a genocide or xenocide. It was mere revenge for what they did. The dark forest theory was correct. The part where you either hide or be dead. Look at what we got into ourselves now. I wished we never made contact with the filthy Zeno's. We were naive, and put ourselves in a rock, and a hard place. We either join this galactic council, forced to follow their rules rather than have our own autonomy, and have small autonomy, or be invaded by one of their member species, and be enslaved. We should've stayed quiet rather trying to make contact because we want to see other intelligent species. Mark looked at me and sighed. Damn the a.i's damn well have emotions, and personality like the droids when we first met the council. It's more advanced than what I saw in MIT. It's a shame that the council neutered the droids with them disabling of their personalities because they were cowards. They were afraid that they would rebel against them. I mean duh. What else would've happened if you didn't treat them like person not like a simple citizen of the galactic council. I really like those droids. It really gives them true sentience considering the humans are just biomechanical a.i, and the only thing that gives us true sentience in our eyes is just our self thought personalities. If we didn't have emotions, and personalities we would've been emotionless killing machines with self learning capabilities. Heck if we didn't have emotions, and personalities we would've wiped ourselves out considering we were hell bent on killing each other once we wiped the floor with the other species that we almost ate to extinction.
"Well sir. We're almost done. We're loading up the ammunition. The shock troops are readying themselves. Training with hard light holograms. The hell jumpers are training for their drop from the atmosphere." Mark said while scratching his head. "What is it?" I asked the a.i. "Well.. I'm worried that your going. To.... You know do a xenocide. It's against the accords." I sighed. "Well mark. It's either you kill them or watch as billions suffer because of your indecision. You wanna watch as droids who have emotions and personalities like you suffer because of their xeno overlord? You want droids that are like you able to feel feelings, and have a personality suffer are you watch them being tormented by their owners? If you don't want to join the fight then work as logistics. In fact you should work as surveyor to nearby systems finding habitable worlds for humans, friendly xeno's who want to defect and didn't like their governments, droids, and artificial intelligences work together in unity treated as people." He then thought about it, and accepted the surveyor job. I think he didn't want to watch as xeno civilians killed. If they didn't use slaves then they are not to be killed. As long as they don't have any weaponry, and don't try to kill us. He then left the room. I then changed my outfit to my new military uniform. I then activated the neural link, and connected to the gestalt. Then I saw a lot of memes. I saw memes about me being drunk, and doing dumb stuff. I then saw a video of me driving a IFV into a cliff. I survived, and treated my wounds. Then I saw a meme about me being a space wizard, the second coming of the messiah of the christian church, or a xenocidal maniac. Well they aren't wrong about the xenocidal maniac.
I sighed as another meme video appeared of me creating a sword, and attacking a training hard light hologram while drunk. It said POV: the colonel Vs the xeno's, and the human collaborators. I saw a lot of likes of it. A lot of the comments are just people talking about me like I'm some sort of magical space wizard, and some hyping me up like I'm some sort of final boss of a game.
I smiled as I opened the curtains seeing thousands of soldiers marching, some training for orbital drops, some training for combine arms warfare, some training in CQB, some training for tank warfare, and some are training with artillery.
I the. left my room, and went to my flagship. The HMS Bismarck. I then saw the USS Nimitz. A large carrier filled with a few destroyers, a few dropships, an entire infantry army Corp, and 200 fighters. I then went to the cafeteria of the HMS Bismarck, and got a cup of coffee. I looked at glass windows, and watched the newly activating frigates, and dreadnoughts. Although the ships looked like spear tip with guns around it without the hilt. It was overbuilt. Made for every contingency. It's guns are 300mm smoothbore rail guns with 300mm tipped with active uranium. It's velocity is 60% of the speed of light. Faster than normal plasma weapons. Of course it was overbuilt, and the reactors were using neutron star materials. A gram of a neutron star materials would power an entire world filled with one billion people for 5 years by its stored energy alone generating 5000 gigawatts of energy. It's very hard to get considering you would need to use gravity generators to manipulate the material to be easy to transport due ot its mass. The other weapons were nuclear missiles, and laser point defense systems.
A few hours of preparation later....
"Ladies and gentle men! You must be asking why are we invading an outer arm world of the galactic republic rather than go for a decapitation strike? Well... it's very risky. The capital is heavily defended. From what I learned in their local version of the internet it's very heavily defended. Would you liked to be wiped out? Well if we attacked an outer rim world we would have a tactical advantage since the galactic republic is in a civil war. If we attack them in their capital we would've made a grave mistake by letting them notice us and use resources on us probably sending a large armada of ships. Plus they don't care about the outer rim worlds! As long as they pay taxes they wouldn't care. They wouldn't even care if their citizens participate depravities! Reinforcements wouldn't arrive for them in time considering they had to fight against the separatists. So we better get them off guard, and steal a few systems without them noticing. So we better fuck them up like they fucked up our colonies! Like they fucked up our people! Are you with me!!!" I said in the gestalt system. People started cheering, and sending messages such us "Death to the enslavers! Death to the council! Death to the republic!"
I smiled and the others in the gestalt flinched as a malicious glee appeared in my face. Then they activated the hell jump engines, and went to the outer rims.
A few hours of waiting, and abusing coffee later.....
"This is republic outpost 76917 in the outer rim unknown ships of unknown make identify yourselves!" Said one of the outposts in the area. Then the HMS hood bombarded the outpost. Destroying said outpost.
I then saw a blue world. It was beautiful. It was like terra before it got planet cracked. It's a shame that it's going to feel war for the first time. I then grabbed an ak226 that was chambered in depleted uranium tipped 9.62x51 rounds, and the warcrime boom stick.
I then went to a dropships, and saw other soldiers hurrying along. I then entered one of the dropships seeing that this was going to drop into a large republic military outpost in the planet.
"Drop in t-minus 20 seconds! 19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12." Suddenly the drop ship lifted off the platforms, and drifted to the atmosphere. "7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1." Suddenly turbulence began to violently Shaked the hull. "Get ready for a bumpy ride!" I said while gripping my gun. The men nodded while trying to not fall over their seats. After a few minutes we arrived guns blazing.
I smiled and began open firing. "FOR HUMANITY!" I shouted while firing at the collaborators, and killing some of them. I then tossed a fusion grenade. The grenade exploded one of their bunkers and spraying large chunks of cement. I continued firing shooting any collaborator, and stabbing xenos who tried to fight back. I continued slaughtering the filthy xeno's as my cartridges were all expended. I smiled and pulled out the sword off the sheath. I then lunged at the incoming horde of armed collaborators. I decapitated some, while cut off some of their arms, while some was lucky enough to get a shot at me, and one even got a flesh wound on me. I smiled and sheathed back the sword punching the collaborator in the face. I continued punching it until it was nothing but a bloody paste. I then looked at the survivors, and then began to shit themselves as I took off the mask, and letting them see my feral grin. I then began attacking them with my fists. I lunged at them grabbing one of them, and tossed them at the others. I then punching them in the gut, some being kicked in the balls, some tried to fight back but got broken bones, and some even tried to surrender. I accepted the collaborator who surrendered. I smiled as I want to interrogate them later.
The other shock troops looked at me with surprise as bloodied Bodies surrounded me. My hands bloodied with collaborator blood. "Send these prisoners to the Brig." I said at the other shock troops.
The other shock troops escorted the prisoners to the brig. I then searched the area for a washing room, and washed myself. After that I searched for a hover bike in the outpost. I found one, and went to the nearest populated area where humans are common.
I then pulled out a cigar, and smoked it.
