Remastered Version of one of my old RPs

[Current Character: 185, CVPA Combatant. Health: 46% Uniform: Melee artist.]
*I get up.*
The f**k happened here?

The group contains many people, including a Worker Drone and what seems like a Disassembly Drone wearing a lot of coverings for reasons

Oh shit.
*I move away, using cover to evade eyesight.*

They don't notice you

???: Is it weird how we are basically the only humans left here?

????: I'm not human!

?????: Yea OJ, get it right!

OJ: Sorry WDJ and DDJ . . .

*I use the sand to cover my escape by going under it, of course, by wearing A gas mask.*

You are successful, they don't notice you

*I look around.*

Lots of vehicles half buried in the sand, even a highway segment

*I search the cars.*

You only find some good things of use

Its something.
*I keep moving.*
(When will the Inklings show up?)

Hold your horses, I'll get there! Ahem, you hear a gunshot coming from the group, and you hear some weird scream, doesn't sound human

*I take cover and load my AK-47.*
Alright, time to see what the f**k is going on...

DDJ throws some sort of corpse aside next to a abandoned Volkswagen Golf, do you inspect it?

*I wait for them to leave.*

They are already walking away

*I sneak to the corpse.*

it looks, weird, its not human, but it is humanoid

Hmm, this looks familiar...
(And here we witness the one event where the character remembers from past encounters.)

y e s

*I check the body.*

It has a hole in its stomach, but there is no blood wound

The f**k?
*I search the body for equipment.*

It has some weird kind of phone that looks like an arrow

*I take it.*

It also has a wallet

*I take it too and open the phone.*

The phone was password locked, but the numbers looked weird

Maybe it's got face ID...

Yes it does

*I try to go to Face ID and use their face.*

It works

*I go to settings to change Face ID to mine.*
Just being safe.

Well good luck because the language is completely different than english

(Here bro. https://lingojam.com/SplatoonInklingInkishLanuage)
*I pull my own phone out and navigate my way though the settings.*

How you gonna get to that website? ))

(Copy + paste.)

You hear an engine starting

*I flee.*

It was an RV engine, the group is in the RV, and the RV is starting to drive away.

Question, what species is 185? ))

(Human.)
*I stay silent, still and calm.*

The RV takes a left onto a highway

*I continue trying to set the Face ID to my face.*

BTw the time is around 5:45 AM

*I find the sett8ng to change the Face ID.*

You are successful

Haha, now, to English.
*I look for the system language option.*

English not an option, because . . . . that was a long time ago

*I Then decide to download the English language through my files.*

There are so many words its gonna talk a bit

*I load my Smith & Wesson 500 bone collector.*

You hear a train in the distance

*I inspect the revolver.*

its a Smith & Wesson 500 Bone collector

(Indeed it is.)
*I check the download progress.*

%13 percent

*I decide to use my medkit.*

Good idea

[Health has been topped off.]
(Time skip to noon?)

Well there is something that will happen in the morning

(Timeskip to it?)

Its happening rn

Ahem, You hear footsteps

*I draw my butterfly knife.*

Its someone, but not human, thy don't notice you

*I get ready to attack.*

It is with another " person "

*I silently draw my Bone Collector.*

they talk to each other, but you can't understand the language

*I try to sneak away.*

One of them notices u

F**k.
*I get up and fire at them, holding the Revolver in my left hand.*

They now ded

*I search the bodies.*

Basic stuff, but you find a phone with a circle top

*I try to unlock it.*

Is passcode locked

*I check for Face ID.*

Not on this phone

Damn, they got smart.
*I check for a pass code on the corpse.*

none, the person must be really good a rembr

F**k, maybe I could try to unlock it with my tech, but not here.
*I head the way they came from.*

Its an empty train station

Maybe this could work.
*I enter it.*

Its an open air station, its only 1 platform, it seems that a train is coming.

I might be able to get back to City 5, or, I think I'd better figure out what's going on here...

Let me tell you, City 5 is g o n e

(Way to drop that bomb.)

How else was I suppost to tell you?

(He never actually goes to City 5 in this story, plus, its an Underground city.)

oh

The Train is a Subway train

*I wait for it.*

You should probably get a face covering and a hat

(He already has a helmet and t-shirt mask.)

nvm, The train pull up

*I board the train.*

Some people leave, but someone else also boards, they have black tinted Glasses, and a Baseball cap, but the baseball team on the cap was one in the human days

*I keep quiet.*

The person and you are the only ones in here, the person lifts up the baseball cap to brush their hair to hide it better, the person is human

Hey.

The person looks

????: Wh . . . um

You human?

?????: Yea . . . are you?

Yes.

?????: Proof?

*I show them my phone, an IPhone 11.*

Chris: Fair enough, my name is Chris

I think I remember that name from somewhere...

Chris: Whats your name

185.

Chris: Okay, how long have you've been awake for?

Since 05:02

Chris: Today?

Chris: By the way, when I mean " Awake " I mean like in this period of time

Same answer.

Chris: D a n g

Yeah. You?

Chris: Around 9 months, I got some tips for you. There is this group called the HCTA, Human Collection and Transformation Association, their goal is to find humans and turn us into their kind. That is why we have to wear covering at the face where our features are different then theirs

I got this.
*I show Chris the phone I unlocked, as well as the still locked one.*

Chris: Nice! Can I see?

You are seeing these, the arrow one I found on a corpse, the round one I shot a kid to get it.

Chris: So you know what people to avoid

I don't avoid often, I kill.

Chris: Oh, would you like to stick with each other, I could use a companion after I lost the whereabouts of a group I was in

Would one of them be named OJ?

Chris: Yes . . . how do you know that?

I knew you sounded familiar, plus, I heard their name.

Chris: Where is the group?

Went east.

Chris: In like one of those big RVs?

Don't know.

Chris: Well gladly this train is going east and is next to the highway * He runs up to the window that shows the highway * I see it!

On the empty highway was a long RV, Black and Grey.

Chris: That's the group's car!

How the f**k did we get here so fast?!?!

Chris: Train fast, RV is a bit slow, wait, I have idea!

Chris: Why don't I jump from the train, onto the RV? Wait, bad idea

Yeah, pretty bad.

Chris: How about I get their attention, then they stop at the train station to pick us up when we get there.

You go, I'll stay.

you there?

Chris: It is better to stay in groups, the HCTA puts up a big fight

I know all there is about combat, I could pick them off one by one with a rifle, or gun them down with a Core_Dump pistol.

Chris: They are tough, like really tough. Its better to stay in groups

Then how'd I drop two of them with a Smith & Session 500. Bone Collector in just two shots?

Chris: They have armor, look, it is better to stay in g r o u p s. Okay?

Bro, I can handle myself. Nothing too hard.

Chris: Okay, but if you need help, use this transceiver. I will make you take it

Chris: You are gonna need this transceiver

I already have my own.

Chris: Oh, you could have told me

The Train stops

Chris: Well * Puts Baseball Cap back on * this is my stop, I'ma see if I can get their attention on time. Have a good one

Good luck.

Chris leaves the train car, do you follow him?

*I stay on the train.*

Chris left you something, it seems like a little earpiece, there is a note with it

*I read the note.*

This thing here is something you will need, it is a device made by me, it translates the inkling language in real time to english, it is very useful

*I equip the ear piece.*

A few inklings and octolings board the train.

*I just look down.*

They start talking, and the earpiece works

*I just wait for a stop in the Deep Metro, or one of the places in the Octo Expansion.*

Its stops in the city, on the intercom a pre-recorded message says " This is the last stop, please exit the train "

*I exit the train, then wait for the next one.*
(I know what I'm doing is lazy, but I'm not gonna walk in the city carrying a revolver and Russian automatic rifle.)

A conveniently placed empty backpack that can carry both of those weapons are right next to you

*I already carry a duffle bag, so I leave it be.*
(Is anything interesting going to happen if I keep waiting?)

2 cars with the words HCTA and police lightbars on fly by you, possibly going to catch someone, do you try to follow them?

*I just look at them.*

You hear gunshots

*I get up and investigate the source.*

It seems like the group is in trouble, they are fighting 16 HCTA units

*I just head back to the station.*

Are you even gonna help them?

(I'm not going to engage in combat in a public setting, best to play it safe than to help out, because I'm not dealing with a full scale HCTA assault waiting for the next train.)

One of the HCTA units notice you and approach you

HCTA Unit: Can you please take off your helmet for me?

*I act mute, and use sign language to say I can't otherwise snipers will kill me.*

foolish

HCTA Unit: Come with me

*A little red dot is visible on the helmet, moving.*

probably fake, BTW you can use HCTA in other rps if ya want

*It fires near my head, I duck and crouch to evade getting shot.*

HCTA: We will check behind the van

*The sniper eventually kills the HCTA with a clean headshot.*

Who is the sniper?

(A WDF drone trying to capture 185.)
*I switch to the other side of the tunnel.*

BTW some HCTA units see the dead HCTA officer next to 185 and they start firing at you, because they are under suspicion that you killed the HCTA officer

*I take cover as the WDF Drone kills another HCTA officer.*

What do you mean tunnel, this is an open air street, and people are watchin and HCTA units are shootin at you

(185 did exit a subway station, right?)

An open air train station, uhm, in like new york, some stops are above ground, you exited a above ground station

(Oh.)

So the ones already ded were the ones wearing hats, usually low level ones

(Don't forget: Killed Worker Drones will become Damaged or Destroyed drones, which are resilient as f**k, bullets scratch the paint, and target anything alive. The only way to kill them is by chopping off the head.)
*I light a Molotov Cocktail and throw it at the group.*

BTW why did you give me that piece of info, and please don't tell me you mean Jacob's group

A HCTA destroys the drone and shoots of the helmet, revealing h a i r

*Another WDF Drone on a different building starts sniping the HCTA units, as I switch to the Ak-47.*

BTW HCTA units have helmets and armor, and there is a lot of units, 9 more units arrive

Jacob: Welcome to the party

*The WDF Drones start targeting the HCTA units at the weakest point, as I millyrock the AK.*

Then, all the drones malfunction, someone used a special kind of EMP

*Distorted roars are heard from the rooftops, I get up and run, killing any HCTA units I come across.*

roh ruh, the military is here

*Eventually there are WDF Drones on the ground and it becomes a f**king war between fish and drones.*

well, not wrong.

*I take cover under a tank*

5 Tanks, 2 Humvees with machine guns, and 25 infantry

the group uses this opportunity to escape, they do escape

*I plant a C4 charge under the tank and equip a better helmet.*

If you did throw a molotov at the Human group, Chris is the only one who might help you

*I get out from the bottom of the tank.*
(I threw it at the HCTA.)

oh, good to hear, the group stays and assists you

Question, can a disassembly drone be safe in shadows?

(Maybe, as long as UV lights aren't present.)

Okay, good to know

DDJ: Glad the shadows are covering the are with the big skycrapers

DDJ gets quick to work and starts killing HCTA units

*More distorted roars are heard.*

helicopter time

DDJ: * Gets close to 185 * Its best to leave the scene and have them deal with the drones

I know how to fight these things, I bet you don't, considering the fact that you look unprepared.

Military Helicopters are here

Its gonna be a blood bath, or should I say inkbath . . .

More military has arrived, oh btw please be a bit less OP or switch to another character

DDJ: Oh shut up

*A Damaged WDF Drone is behind DDJ, and I run down to the next station.*

DDJ: * Slashes the drone behind him * Oh well

The next station is closed because of the conflict going on right now to reduce civilian injuries

*I keep moving and searching.*

Police blockades are here to block civilians from entering, Police officers are help people out of the danger zone

*More of the WDF Drones fire at the crowd, I retaliate by placing Riot shield barriers and firing back.*

The area is now empty of civilians

*I vault over the barricade and keep searching for an active train.*

Just then, all the drones have their heads cut off

Nevada_Man: All right, I've had enough, Mr. 185, where do you wanna go?

Talk about breaking the fourth wall.
*I clear my throat.*
Just one of the stations underground, I feel as if I might find members of UO's old group, very nice people, and to get some answers to what is going on.

Nevada_Man: Sure, but do you mind if the other Human group comes along?

DDJ: If I can go into the dark, I'll go

Jacob: I agree

*Long exhaust.*
Fine, but as long as they don't kill everything, if UO is still out there, I want to tell him I met his squad and tell him they're still alive, and not killed in a sociopath attack.

Nevada_Man: Okay

They all appear in the big station in the Octo Expansion

Nevada_Man: Here you go, I'm gonna need to figure out how to work with this

Just place random units here, make it seem like something bad happened, but don't let me know about it.

Nevada_Man: Some HCTA units?

Yeah.

Nevada_Man: Be a bit more specific

You know, random blockades, perhaps some camps, and burning wreckage.

Nevada_Man: And where?

Anywhere.

Nevada_Man: Okay done, I've put some stuff around thew place, but not here

Alright, thanks.

Nevada_Man: No problem

*Loadling screen.*

yes

*The map loads.*

What

(Gotta load the area up.)

its not a video game boy

(Just setting the mood.)
*I get off the train.*
I think that I'll begin the search here.

Wait, is 185 still human? ))

(Yes.)

Everyone else gets out from the train

DDJ: * Takes off his helmet * Finally . . .

*I keep my helmet on.*
Now, I don't want you guys to kill everything, We're looking for a group of Octolings without any guns or weapons. So if you do see one, let me know, okay?

DDJ: Okay

RJ ( Rapper Jacob ): Fair

Jacob: Okay

Chris: H

*I open the gates.*

RJ: Hmmm

*I go through the checkpoint.*
Clear.

HJ ( Nephalem Jacob ): Hmmmmmmm

Come on, this way.

They all follow 185

*Burning HCTA vehicles are seen.*
Damn, seems like they met the end of the Undead Octolings wandering about here...

HCTA most likely survived and left, let me give you a chunk of info about an HCTA unit.

HCTA units undergo around 1.5 years of training before going into service

HCTA units know survival skills, like how to make a bow, how to start a fire, and many other useful things

HCTA units have been taught to know their environment and how to adapt to it

HCTA units are as good as the military in terms of combat

HCTA units wear enough armor to maximize safety while not lowing mobility

HCTA units know what they are doing

(Then explain the burning cars.)

Most likely a malfunction or an attack, the HCTA units most likely got out alive and left the station

(Alright.)

HJ: Whoa

Look at that, windshield broken, and the driver is dead, neck torn out. Yup, Undead Ocotolings must be nearby.

NJ: Only one dead . . . impressive, these guys really know what they are doing.

You hear a subway train horn

There might be many more dead up ahead.
*The corpse in the car suddenly comes to life and becomes sanitized.*

HJ: * Uses his demon side powers to kill the corpse * Don't want that

*The newly killed undead corpse lies dead on the horn.*

WDJ: * Pushes the body so it stops the horn * Well, don't want that to keep on going

I think we might have to keep going, despite the fact that we might die from an undead Octoling, I say the odds of death are low.

You hear some metal scraping, then an explosion in the distance

It came from this way.
*I am holding my AK out.*

In the distance is fire

Okay, seems like the sanitized move faster than initially thought... Or are those Destroyed WDF Drones?

Michael: * Gets out a special pair of binoculars * That is a derailed subway train.

Oh, well. Looks like we're gonna have to continue on foot.

Michael: I see someone crawling out, its not sanitized, but its an octoling, do we take them in?

Jacob: I'm going to get them

*I stop Jacob.*
I'll handle this.
*I walk to the Octoling.*

Octoling: Huh . . .

Hey, you okay?

Octoling: No . . . not really, my right leg hurts

Did you get bitten?

Octoling: No, they were outside the train

Any shrapnel hit you?

Octoling: No, my leg just go bend the wrong way when the train derailed, I heard a cracking noise where my leg was, possibly I got a fractured or broken bone

Look, I can help you out.

Octoling: You can?

Yup, as a CVPA unit, I have to know all about first aid.

Octoling: On the train, I saw like octolings, bu they didn't look normal

Shit, the sanitized must've been in the train the whole time...

Octoling: I think I need medical attention . . .

There is a Medic Jacob, do you get him?

Jacob, get over here.

All of them speak at the same time: Which one?

*Another long exhale.*
Medic!

MEJ: Coming! * He goes to 185 * Whats the problem?

Octoling: I think one of my bones in my right leg has fractured or broke.

Yeah.

1 cast applyation later

All right, that should do it, but someone needs to help them around here, it's best if the Disassembly Drone does it.

DDJ: Yea, should I get him to the hospital or carry him around?
