Author's Note

I am so sorry about the long wait I went into a gaming binge especially metal gear solid 5 (WHY QUIET DID YOU LEAVE ME!!*Sobs*) and red alert 2 Yuri's revenge and my father was in the hospital for quite a while after the surgery on his gut went FUBAR AND school which is kicking my ass right now as I have to write essay after essay.

I can confirm though that I will do a thanksgiving special and a Christmas special and those chapters will be set in the future so you may see characters that I have not met yet. Now goo-*phone rings* excuse me *grab phone* yes what is it.... oh shit Yuri is attacking and he is not happy that I beat him multiple time well time to break out the robot tanks see ya people I have a war to win.

It's too freaking cold!

Mission 8 IT’S TOO FREAKING COLD

Briefing:

1.I have no idea what we are supposed to do … maybe we should free somebody

?

Pov Eric

Date:[L+14]

Time: ??:?? (I can’t see the freaking sun!)

Location: somewhere near the crystal empire

So after we left the base we headed north to well the frozen north hoping we could find more materials for the base plus you never know what you may find up there considering there’s only one city and a whole lot of unexplored land around it. Now I would love to be happy about adventuring but when we first got here a blizzard came in forcing us to land and secure the enterprise. That was a couple hours ago and the blizzard has yet to die out.

So here I sat in my chair looking out of the frosted windows waiting for the blizzard to die out and in the meanwhile I would just sit here bundled in as many blankets as I can considering the cold is the natural enemy of the Texan hell anything less than seventy four degrees is too cold for me. Thankfully the heating system in the airship was still running or else we probably be all frozen like a popsicle stick. The guys down in R&D said that they are working on something to warm the place up hopefully they get it running soon as now even the multitude of blankets are not keeping me warm.

Some time later (the sun is still covered)

“I’m really starting to regret coming north now… why did we come north I’m a Texan I hate the cold maybe something is directing us to something. Hmm maybe it’s a god or maybe I'm in the middle of a story right now hell maybe it’s just another me somewhere in the vast multiverse writing my story right now… maybe it’s both who knows well then again maybe alternate me does… I talking to myself again aren't I… shit.” I sighed coming to the realization that I was talking to myself again for the …. Twentieth time now maybe I was just going crazy not knowing if it was night or day or maybe it’s just because I have way too much time on my hands just sitting here doing nothing.

Deciding that I have to do something I got up from the chair shedding the cocoon of blankets only to start shivering from the cold. Shaking my head I walked out of the bridge down to the mess hall as I can’t remember the last time I actually ate anything except when we were in the forgotten lands and that was…. I don’t remember how long ago but I assume it was a while ago.

Okay seriously what the hell is the time I can't keep doing this

*sigh* After quite some time

I stepped into the mess hall which was empty save for a few soldiers here and there eating some of the preserved meat and some engineers working on something in the vents. Shrugging I grabbed some of the meat we saved during the great hunt and sat down in one of the empty seats. Taking a bite out of the semi-hard meat I let my mind wander.

“I wonder, if we have technology that can shift time can we fiddle with it to emit a beam that can erase an object from time itself or … maybe we can use it to phase in and out of time reappearing where we want to be? There so much we can do now the only problem would be a power source, normal batteries just wouldn't do it, hell the battery from the exosuits still would not be enough. Maybe we could start research into a compact power source to power my idea. Wait a minute is it me or does this room finally feel normal?” I blinked as I could feel the change in temperatures from the frigid cold to bearably cold. Looking to the spot where the engineers were I saw them clapping and high fiving each other while the vents they were working on glowed with a orange tinge in fact I’m pretty sure I could see orange tinges down the hallway I came from.

Getting up from my seat I pocketed the leftover meat and made my way back to the bridge in order to write down my ideas and who knows I may come up with something that could be built with our current technologies.

I need some coffee right now

“-And done” I smiled as I looked at my handiwork, while I’m not the best at drawing the things my mind can make sometimes frighten myself. On the table in front of me stood a multitude of blueprints some weapons, some vehicles, some buildings , and lastly some technologies that could give our boys better fire power should we run into a opponent with similar levels of technologies. Among the blueprints stood a very peculiar tank it looked like a oversized M1a2 tank maybe around three times the normal size, with double the amount of armor, the turret was the most peculiar thing about it as a normal Abrams has only a single 120mm turret but this tank had twice the number of guns alongside a bigger turret to house them. On the top of the turret laid a 20mm auto cannon and a 50 caliber gun. This tank would be my command tank so that when we go into a dangerous battlefield I wouldn't have to be out in the open where I could be shot as easily.

Gathering the miniature mountain of blueprints I rolled them up and place them in a bag that I had nearby and took of to the R&D department to see if any of my ideas could be built.

...wait what day is it?

Stepping into the department the first thing I noticed was that it was nice and warm I would say around 75 degrees Fahrenheit give or take a few degrees. The second thing was that there was no yelling looking around I could not spot anybody so I set down the bag on top of the engineers main table and walked out now curious if the heating effect warmed up the cargo ramp enough to open them.

...what year is it?

Stepping off the elevators I was alerted to the engineers attempts to free the cargo ramp by the telltale sound of groaning metal refusing to budge. At the very end of the cargo bay was multiple engineers trying to force the ramp to open and so far they are winning albeit very slowly. One of the engineers clearly had enough as he got into one of the more heavier vehicles in the area and without even a warning rammed the ramp.

This had the desired effect as the ramp shot downwards until it hit the snow and had the undesirable effect as the vehicle shot out of the cargo bay until a loud crash was heard. The vehicle crew of that vehicle ran towards the crash though I'm not sure who were they more worried for the engineer or their vehicle. Shaking my head I ran out of the cargo bay but not before accepting one of the glowing machines from one of the engineers. When my boot landed outside I had to cover my eyes as they were not used to the bright sun. After a second I was finally able to force my eyes open and I was confused as to where we were. The airship landed in a large clearing in the middle of a frozen forest but the thing was that the map never showed any forests up north.

Hearing yells thrown being thrown around like crazy I tried to find the source of noise, spotting the vehicle that the engineer crashed It looked like it got stuck after a tree fell on top of it. In front of the now crashed vehicle was the crew yelling at the engineer like there was no tomorrow. Looking at the forest I swore I saw a human figure but when I blinked it was gone. Bringing out my underused tablet I ordered the construction of a base here so that we can figure out where the hell are we would use the Enterprise to go farther north but with the threat of another blizzard I couldn’t risk it. Putting the tablet away I watched as the engineers started bring out supplies to start the beginning of the northern base.

Mission 8 complete
