- Trailer description

## Synopsis

### *Operation Baltornae #1*

Debriefing has begun on Operation: Baltornae. With the death of their leader and the retrieval of a mythic boulder from the core of Nadoria, its citizens have grown weary and cautious of the leadership taking place.

### *Operation Baltornae #2*

Much time had passed and the world slumbered into a Dimetrin Override. With a great deprivation of Vitamos Z, all that lived outside the confines of the Domeplex became a brand new zombified Plague. Their metabolisms weakened, minds numbed and empty of thought, they were left to shriek in the cities, disassociated from their once known identities, unaware of the decay they beheld while kept in limbo by their Kirochips and now-active backup metabolism, emitting a glow from the eyes.

All except for several Baltornae armies, who took refuge before making their plan of action known. After being tipped off by a soldier on the inside, they cross the planes of Nadoria with apparatus transferring Vitamos Z supplements to their now-emboldened bodies, all to ascend among the Domeplex for a full blown retaliation.

That is to say the Valentin Renegade had come prepared, as the emergency alert had been sounded. Protocol BioTide is now underway.

## Transmissions

### #1

**DovahCom**: Greetings, fellow Smithsonians! I am DovahCom. You have been cordially invited to a debriefing following the incident in Baltornae faction 1. As you are aware, all inhabitants have been exterminated, including tribe leader Jebodiah Dunford. We believe this will result in a revolt from all remaining factions given our peace treaty has ceased its served purpose. Your mission: **destroy all factions**. We have held Jebodiah captive and are continuing efforts to find purpose moving forward using the gathered remains of an obscure and mythical boulder descending from unknown origins.

1/3
It is believed under current rulings, it may serve purpose to bring Nadoria a newfound resource to further strengthen our economical and planet healing endeavors. To ensure the operation continues as planned, you have been advised to carry out the task in as little consequence as possible. You will be divided into groups of hundreds.

SPEAK TO NOBODY. Give no vocal contact with the Baltornae. It is imperative we avoid the unprofessional actions made in faction 1. REMAIN WITH DECORUM and speak not of this briefing to anyone. **You have been warned.** In case of immediate threat and emergency, we have installed several new drones known as BioTides to help harvest trouble and recycle them back into reusable energy outlets. Do not press unless all contingencies fall back.

On a lighter note, our leader has a distant family celebration. It is Jarling Clodar's birthday today. To celebrate, we have a special event planned for him. Provide your RSVPs post-haste. We have an evening of celebration to be had. Stay bold and remember: the Renegade never **STOPS**.

### #2

**DovahCom**: Smithsonians, it appears one of you had pressed for the emergency protocol alert. It is as we feared: revolt is happening. With our leader blissfully unaware of the outside plague, we are now under brand new protocol. Protocol BioTide is now under way. Several hundreds of devices will be in each faction's disposal. It is up to you to remain on the side of the Renegade. Please be aware that your Vype Droids will need calibrating and full synchronisation with your Kirochips as any desynchronisation will put you at risk of friendly fire.

This brings us to a briefing of the BioTides' hunter mode. You will be strangulated using its expendable cord located at the bottom of the BioTide and inject it right through the brain using a razor-sharp needle made of solid hot visper. Once its prey perishes, it will be contained in its body carrier, where the blood of the fallen will be rinsed from said subject. And finally, a purifying chemical to keep the blood cells alive before being retrieved back to the Domeplex.

We understand most civilians will be in hiding during this point, so to taunt them out, we have a speaker grill implanted inside the BioTide. An unprompt command will emit a noise familiar to the subject's memories as taken by their Kirochips. An example will now be played for you.

<< Subject A75 - Flola family / Output source: Nareen\_Flola\_first\_cry.vpf >>

**Mr. Flola**: Oh God, where's Nareen? Nareen- Where- Where is Nareen?!

[BioTide plays a recording of Nareen's cries]

**Mr. Flola**: Oh my God! Oh my God! Nareen? Nareen, I'm coming to get you! I'm coming- OH MY GOD!

**BioTide**: Subject A75 identified. \*Nareen's voice\* Bye, daddy!

**Mr. Flola**: No! Let go of me! AHHHH-

<< recording ends >>

**DovahCom**: Using this will lure its prey out of hiding, to which the BioTide can commence attacks. It is a dark time for all Nadorians, so we must act swift, act fast and act with no **MERCY**.
