A Main Character

## Chapter 1

**A Routine Patrol**

It’s only been 3 centuries now since we found ourselves here, less than half that time since we have had any contact from our home planet.

The raids stopped when I was still a recruit, but I can still see the tusks of our enemy in my sleep. As a *Gen Zero*, I still patrol our border

and train up the younger *Hero’s* hoping they will never have to go through what myself and the other Gen-0’s had to endure.

Cut off, we no longer have our equipment or resupplies since our *Ingress* collapsed during a rare *SSE* (Solar Storm Event).

Still we forge weapons and armor being resourceful, but it is just not the same. Occasionally we stumble on a hidden cache of supplies which the younger Gens have come now to call, E-Relics. But those are very rare and deemed only for a very few talented Gens.

There are not many of us Gen-0’s left, but thanks to our Eugenics program we at least have a sustaining population of newer *Gens* and a resupply of troops if the day does come.

Not long ago, a Gen told me how he heard crazy rumor's from higher up that our enemy is “hatched” from the ground. I really hope this is not true for our sake.

Everyone on both sides have been thrown into a Dark Age and most of us humans have been now tasked with farming and building since the chances of ever seeing home again are slim to none.

Till then I will keep training our recruits and keeping a vigilant eye on our perimeters, stranded but hopeful.

# Chapter 2

**Rumors**

Another routine patrol, another day without incident. I'm starting to think that the rumors about our enemy being hatched from the ground are just that - rumors. But I can't help but be cautious. After all, we've been stranded here for centuries, and anything is possible.

Maybe these rumors could also be a way to frighten the younger heroes and keep them motivated to fight. After all, if the enemy is as powerful as the stories say, then the we as heroes need to be even more powerful.

We are still training the younger heroes, and they're all doing well. They're eager to learn and eager to fight. I just hope that they never have to experience the horrors of war that we did so long ago.

Starting to take on more administrative duties. With so few of us Gen-0's left, we need everyone to pitch in. I'm not sure if I'm cut out for this kind of work, but I'm doing my best.

Beginning to feel my age. My joints ache, my vision is blurry, and I'm not as quick as I used to be. But I'm not ready to give up yet. I still have a lot to teach the younger heroes, and I still have a duty to protect our people.

Still I'm stranded here, but I'm not hopeless. We've survived this long, and we'll survive for many years to come. We're humans, and we're resilient. We'll find a way to get back home, or we'll build a new home here. Either way, we'll survive.

\*Additional note:

A recruit (Heritage Gen), is telling his peers that there is a lot of activity at our R&D facility, I am going to check it out for myself.
