Introduction
(The opening will occur during a battle in which the three factions will be forced to work together.)
Factions: (you may play a character form any of these factions)
United Civilized States: When the Nations of North and South America United under one banner they took the name of United Civilized States (UCS). They created a supercomputer that would select their officials for them. Their military was soon dominated by cyborgs that were more machine then man and vehicles disappeared replaced by robots and mechs.
Tech: Plasma Weapons, and Advanced robotics (prosthetic bodies for their soldiers.), energy vampire tech allows them to drain energy weapons.
Eurasian Dynasty:(ED) It was the Dynasty that started the war that destroyed Earth. In this militant society military service is mandatory for men. It began its rise to power in central Russia in the early 2110's and before long controlled all of Europe and Asia.
Tech: Powerful Laser and Gauss Weapons, Powered Armor, Cybernetic implants
Lunar Corporation:(LC) When NASA built the first moon base and moved off Earth it renamed itself. It was not long before the Corporation founded a Mars colony. In 2130 the Corporation's women took control and its administration and military have been dominated by them ever since. The corporation prefers light hit and run tactics to the other factions brute force military approach.
Tech: Anitgrav and Jump-jets, Lighting casters (a weapon that fires a bolt of artificial lighting at short ranges 3-4 meters), Particle Weapons.

His own Rangers followed behind him, and he put a hand up sending a clear signal to not point guns, even offhandedly. As the forces joined, mortal enemies were, for a time, friends.
Andi hit the rust-red alien dirt when LC rounds started flying. Moans of agony, some in English, told him that not all had reflexes as fast. Trusting the platoon medic to take care of it, Andi simply fired back, downing a not-inconsiderable number of LC troopers before they fell back.
The firefight had been brief, so Andi was tired not a bit. So, he turned to speak with Gary Sampson, the platoon medic. He reported just two wounded, but they were still walking and fighting. "Alright, but make sure they don't overexert themselves," Andi had replied, to which Gary gave him usual 'I-was-doing-that-anyway' affirmative.
An unusual gasp escaped Andi's lips when he saw the LC ship. He knew space ships were big, but they looked even larger on the ground and especially so up-close. "Massive," Andi said, "truly massive." He did a mental calculation of its approximate size before crashing, and was surprised to find it was only about half the size of the warship he's been transported in.
"Bravo and Charlie Squads, you stay out here in case we get company," he looked over at Sergeant Sampson, "You, too, Doc," he said, giving him a 'you-better-listen' look. "Alpha Squad, come with me to check the detention block with out Dynasty friends, see if they have any of our's."

Suddenly, he is in a whole different world. Earth. The beautiful plains. Long grass, leading to a single large tree. He sees different assortments of fruits all around him. He turns to his back, smiling at the beautiful blue sky. He can feel the air blowing against his skin, giving him goosebumps. He remembers the bible's "Garden of Eden" and frowns, his disbelief in God itching at the back of his head. Suddenly, he saw a missle heading straight towards him. He turns to run, but is unable to move! Then he sees the sun... Getting larger and larger... It fills up half the sky. The tree begins to burn, and the fruit becomes dry. Then... An explosion. The earth becoming dust.
He was back in the cell. The cold, hard floor. Thirsty...

The ship itself had been a mess, and they'd had to take detours more than once on finding cooridors or doorways to twisted or smashed or full of toxic waste to be navigable. But now they were in the detention block, thank God.
This part of the ship didn't seem to have fared much better than the rest. More than a few cells were smashed from impact shock, and his sensors told him there was a hull breach . . . and a human lifeform. It was barely alive, but it was inarguably human. Andi rushed ahead of his point man to the cell.
Wrestling the warped door open, Andi saw the man lying on the floor, barely alive and gasping for air. The raspiness of his breaths also told Andi he was extremely dehydrated. "Spare breathing apparatus and a canteen!" Andi yelled to the Rangers behind him, trusting them to obey.
The canteen came first, and Andi poured a bit of water across the man's parshed lips, letting some fall in but not much. He then grabbed the breathing apparatus when it was offered to him and secured it onto the man. A muffled hiss told Andi the oxygen-rich compressed air that was part of the standard breathing apparati for the UCS had activated, and when it had Andi spoke to the barely-concious man, "Do you speak English? Are you UCS or Dynasty? How long have you been here?" He paused between each question, but went on hoping one would get through.

"Here, take it," he said, giving the man the canteen. "But drink slowly," he warned, "drinking a lot of water, no matter how bad the impulse is, is a bad idea with what you've been through. You could overload your system and die." After issuing his warning, he continued to watch the sailor carefully.
After he had drank, Andi took his canteen back and asked another question, "Name and rank?" He asked, "And your ship?"

His eyes seem foggy, and his body shows little sign of movement. Excaustion was beginning to settle in as his eyes slowly close. He was breathing steadily now. His 3 inch cut on his cheek was clotted now, a few lines of dry blood down his face. A bruise was very present around the cut, circling around his left eye (swelling it shut), and wrapping around his chin. His lips were swollen, and his arm was crooked in the middle of the forearm.

Andi didn't wait for a reply, as the quesiton wasn't meant to be answered. He simply picked the sailor up so that he could carry him out. "I'm gonna bring ya to Doc, ok? Getcha patched up," Andi explained to the sailor in an upbeat tone.
"Doc!" Andi shouted when he got out of the ship and was walking back down the ramp. "Got a wounded here, one of our own sailors." Andi set the man down and looked him over. "Looks like bad dehydration, some brusing. A bad cut on his face. Possible internal bleeding . . . and a broken arm." Andi looked up as 'Doc' Simpson came up to him. "He's in bad shape, Doc," Andi whispered, so that the sailor couldn't hear him.
"Looks like your analysis was pretty accurate, Lieutenant," Simpson said. He paused, studying the sailor before him, "Gimme a minute, I'll patch him up and we can send him to the rear when we get back to our line, where he'll get real medical treatment." Doc went to work.

---------------------------------
The great mind decided it would test these new and aggressive creatures. It decided to send forth the least of its warriors. These creatures look like four legged insects with shiny black exteriors (which appears to be some type of metal). Underneath their bodies which stand 3/4 of a mans height is an object that emits an acid like substance. Their heads have ten glowing red eyes and sharp mandibles around a small mouth-like opening.

"Alright," Andi said, nodding, and let the Black Guard trooper take the lead as they walked. Clearing his thorat, Andi tried to break the awkward silence between himself and his (temporarily) ex-enemy. "So, what's the captain want to see me for?" He asked.
The trooper made a noncommital grunt and said something about it being urgent being of interest to him, as the main UCS representative there.
"Ah, sounds interesting," Andi said, rolling his eyes. But they were almost there, anyway, and Andi followed the trooper into the LC ship's computer terminal. "Hello again, Captain Alexi," Andi said, going more for familiarity than formality by using the other's first name. "Whaddaya got for me?" He asked, looking at the computer screen.
