Sci-Fi Dogs: Episode 1

Introduction of the Sci-Fi Dog

#### Character Appearances

This episode features the characters Howel, ST. N1K, Taylor, Bernard, Leon and is the introduction of the D.O.G.S cast.

The campaign starts when there is an immediate call to action from the acting führer. 10 years ago the Wolfenstein regime suffered its greatest loss in hundreds of years of history. The Führer as well as Head Scientist Dr. Haydon were assassinated and the new Wolfenstein Führer has decided to inn act his wrath and take an aggressive stance cracking down on the culprits. Hundreds of thousands of young Wolfenstein men are gathered in a grand hall in front of a screen where they are addressed directly by the new Führer. He proudly addresses them as the Wolfenstein's saviours and flatters them with other moralising speech as he digresses the state of the galaxy and the Wolfenstein Alliance. Behind him there is a screen displaying distinct faces of the men presumed to be the culprits of the assassinations as well as the forefathers of the Resistance. There is little specific information he provides about the specific individuals but everything he knows is committed on file and accessible to the soldiers. The soldiers aren't just being militarised because of these four individuals but also because of the state of the political tides and the rise of the Resistance. The Resistance are an accumulation of all of those who stand against the Wolfenstein. The Wolfenstein's biggest human threat in recent history. This is the time to rise, the call to action.

##### Meeting The Characters

The young men in the crowds of hundreds of thousands are then sorted algorithmically into different regiments based on their previous experience and any other applicable criteria. Among these young men are Janiel Markus Howel, Leon Eichbring, ST-N1K, Taylor Klaus, and Bernard Brandt, who are all quickly given gear, dog tags, signing wavers, and writing their wills before being ushered out into dropships and meeting their Captain. There is no time to breathe as straight out of the hall, the brand new infantry band are immediately sent to their first deployment.

##### First Deployment

Their first deployment is to be suppressing fire during a Wolfenstein demonstration. Their dropship follows many others to a civilian planet and neatly sets itself into the large row of ships facing the crowds of protesting civilians. The boys are forced out of the ship with their gear and are soon shoulder-to-shoulder with hundreds of other greenhorn infantry soldiers, likely on their first deployment under the new militarisation effort too. The soldiers await further instruction as they are told to ready their weapons from a commander over speakers and hold their positions. Their Captain utters that they are to await the order to fire. The soldiers do as they are told and await to fire. Among the crowds of protestors are innocent human beings of thousands of different backgrounds, all unionising in support of the Resistance and for the fall of the Wolfenstein regime.

The soldiers are given the order to fire and the scene lights up like hell. Bernard Brandt chooses to aim slightly above the protestors avoiding harming them, however, many of the other greenhorns do as they are told and shoot the civilians. When the second wave of fire comes around, Bernard encourages the boys who stand with him to purposefully avoid shooting the civilians to which Taylor Klaus, with dawning horrors of shooting protestors, obliges. Leon Eichbring follows suit giving the young extreme Janiel Markus Howel an order of not to shoot to which Howel reluctantly listens and follows with the squad not shooting the protestors on the second round of fire. Leon proceeds to shoot into the crowd, blowing a man's head off, filling Howel with a lingering confusion.

After the first two initial rounds of fire, the crowds have mostly dispersed and the streets are trickled with the fallen bodies of wounded civilian protestors who hadn't been so lucky to experience any kind of fleeting mercy. The commander that had issued their orders before speaks again over their communications channel ordering all of the soldiers to pursuit and leave no soul in this city alive. This city was to be under strict lockdown until the perpetrator scum had been evaporated. Heavy armoured land vehicles blocked pathways out of the city and ships patrolled the planet's atmosphere to make for little chance of escape for the protestors. The Captain that accompanied the boys then organises more of the greenhorn squads and enforces the pursuit of the protestors. A few reluctant greenhorn soldiers are executed for expressing their reluctance and restraint, making themselves a quick demonstration to the other soldiers. After this, the charge goes onwards into the urban streets.

##### Pursuit

The group is tasked with clearing an apartment complex that had not been too far from the demonstration site. In the streets, a few desperate last survivors of the initial rounds of fire take hold behind cover and attempt to take shots at the hoards of oncoming Wolfenstein squads, including the main group. Bernard Brandt and Taylor Klaus begin to show their humanity as the group pushes the protestors and their last stand, however, the rest of the group follow orders with little triumph. After the group has mostly cleared the streets, a wounded man lay in the alley near the entrance to the apartment complex that they were ordered to clear. After their initial struggle against the last survivors in the street, Bernard Brandt turns a blind eye to the wounded man sparing his life.

##### Apartment Complex

The soldiers enter the apartment complex and on the ground floor there is an reception area with a small fickle barely armed receptionist. She weakly holds a pistol and hides under the front desk as the crew enters. She is quickly found by the crew and she fires on them, missing the majority of her shots in her panicked state. Once she is out of bullets, Bernard guides her to the janitor's closet whilst she kicks and squirms attempting to resist him. He seals the door of the closet lightly using his metal hand's blowtorch feature and warns her to be quiet and not attempt escape for some time. The soldiers take the stairs up to the next floor of the apartment complex where they decide to split up in order to cover more ground. It splits into two parties, Leon Eichbring and ST. N1K, and Bernard Brandt, Taylor Klaus, and Janiel Markus Howel. The parties clear each floor of the apartment complex rather uneventfully, most of the civilians or protestors had already fled the building or were at the demonstration earlier and had already been dispatched. As the parties begin to make their way up to the final levels of the complex the parties decide to band together again and clear the final few floors together, taking a few rooms each at a time.

Leon Eichbring and ST. N1K are the first to encounter resistance as they are climbing the final few levels of the complex. There is a mother with her two children, tears in her eyes, and a shotgun grasped in her hands. Over comms, Leon calls for additional support, garnering the attention of Howel who makes his way down the hall to support ST. N1K and him in the apartment with the woman. By the time Howel arrives, Leon has already dispatched the terrified mother, leaving Howel to loom in the door way peering in at the sight taking in the image of these two abandoned children and their maimed mother. Leon sweeps out of the room with ST. N1K and Howel tailing. Howel returns to Bernard and Taylor as they continue to check the rooms.

Howel suggests that they check the stairwells and the roof as any survivors will be trying to evacuate and escape down the emergency ladders on the side of the building. Bernard begrudgingly agrees and the three head to the roof where they find another few innocents desperately making an escape, unarmed. Bernard tells Howel to leave them be and they call into their Captain over comms telling them that the building sweep had been completed. As they are about to return downstairs to rendezvous with the other soldiers, the innocents made it to the bottom of the ladder. Bernard peers over the edge and a Knight instantly fills them with a spray of lead, a pang of defeat filling Bernard.

##### Rendezvous

The crew rendezvous with the Captain at their ship and little a word is uttered amongst them. They return to orbit and await further instruction.
