UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OF THIS DOCUMENT WILL RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT, SUBJECT OF MILITARY POLICE DOCTRINE 9.100.2100 “UNAUTHORIZED TRESPASS OF CLEARANCE.” BELOW IS A DETAILED COPY OF UU COMMUNICATIONS INTERCEPT BETWEEN THE DATES OF DECEMBER SIXTEENTH AND DECEMBER SEVENTEENTH, BETWEEN THE HOURS OF EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND ZERO SEVEN FORTY FIVE.

[SWORD EXCALIBUR, 1902 UTC] <::Squad has met resistance.::> (A single flatline sounds with gunshots echoing through the microphone. Soon after, a heavy pulse repeater followed by multiple flatlines would be heard, and then silence.) [OTA 6606, 1905 UTC] <::Communication needed immediately.::>
[SWORD EXCALIBUR, 1906 UTC] <::Systems failing, armed transport stolen.::> (A flatline would sound.)
A large gap would be present between the hours of 1906 and 2107 UTC. It is unknown why. During such, a DISSONANT CIVIL POPULACE order would be announced to the city. All civilians not sheltered in place would be executed. Automated communication via Universal Union Artificial Intelligence would become standard from 2107 to 0740 UTC. We only obtained fragments of communique between it and soldiers, however parts of it detail a spiraling grip on the city by UU forces.

{My brothers. My patriots and those dear, we have been beaten. We have been slain. We have been pushed back to the brink of extinction. However now, it is I who will dictate the final act of judgment to the so-called “benefactors” that feign betterment or race. Humans do not die, they adapt, they get beaten, and they rise again. Who are the Combine to decide what kills us? They’ve lost their cities, their sectors, their soldiers and army, and more importantly: their morale. Their loyalty chips feign stoic attitudes, but they fail to suppress true human traits of fight or flight. High command has already made their decision, but they haven’t seen mine. {I will be the sole benefactor of this world, I will see to it that this empire falls, knife in throat, with my hand on the wrapped hilt hoisting the blade of freedom. I will kill the ones that have already killed you, and will avenge the billions of souls rolling in their mass graves. I will free this planet and push back those who killed you. {For the ones following in my footsteps, your fate has been decided. Do not fail. {For the ones about to die, you have done well. You shall be laid to rest knowing this was for the betterment of our race. {For my patriots lost, thank you for your kind service to the human race. We would not be free without you. {For the Combine, go fuck yourselves.}

The signal would be lost from there. City 15 would disintegrate under an orchestra of heavy pulse armament. City 17 would follow in City 15’s footsteps, and rise up in resistance to the Combine, dubbed the Lambda Rebellion. It is unknown who made the final announcement.

it will be connected to this post, which leads into a future piece I will be submitting late this year detailing the rise, fall, and implications of the City 15 Rebellion. It is completely original, as is my previous work.
