- [July 17, 2166]
- [Mount Everest, Himalayas]
- [Colony State - Chinese Super-Nation]
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- On the slopes of the famous Mount Everest, heavy combat is currently taking place.
- Some locally stationed C.D.F. detachments are engaging members of the Axis Alliance. Loyalist Mimetics comprise the majority of the main force, though there are a few scattered Post-Human members of the Order of Homo Novus involved in the offensive as well. Amid the chaos, the snow near the peak is being shaken up quite readily.
- All along the snow banks, hard-light and plasma bolts are thrown around with reckless abandon; both sides are taking great casualties. Even the air near the summit is quite hectic, as attack hover VTOLs engage Mimetic Chariots quite readily.
- However, a lone transport VTOL manages to fly through the mess, near the mountain peak. The bay door opens up, and a squad of Android soldiers suited in FE-AR armour systems gets ready for a HALO insertion.
- (Col. Curie Polendina): Alright, we're going in feet first into a BAD situation! Anyone wants to live forever, just fly towards the Yetis. Any takers? No? THEN LET'S GET OUT THERE!
- The entire squad of Androids runs out of the VTOL, leaping into the air. Explosions, plasma, and particle beams litter the air as the Androids drop down. There are several close calls on the way down, but the whole squad manages to get through without too much difficulty.
- (Col. Curie Polendina): Activate RE-Pulsar thrusters!
- Before the squad reaches the rocky face of Everest, they activate their RE-Pulsar thrusters, using them to briefly fly over the mountain as they descend further; they pass over scores of their allies fighting against the Axis Alliance's forces.
- (Col. Curie Polendina): Deploy! Keep on the move, and warn the rest of the C.D.F. regiments here! An avalanche is coming!
- Upon the colonel's command, the Android super-soldiers use their thrusters to accelerate directly into the heavy combat via boosted ground strikes. Before the snow completely settles from their landings, the Androids quickly start to run down the mountain slope; they fire at the Loyalists and terrorists as they pass by. Through their COMMS, the rest of the C.D.F. present is warned; they follow suit in running-and-gunning to escape a coming avalanche.
- And come it did, although not as expected.
- From high in the upper atmosphere, two flaming objects can be barely made out. However, they become much more visible thanks to their high falling velocity; a Guardian Sentinel and Mimetic Colossus are engaged in a struggle as they fall.
- Before anyone can properly react, the two of them crash into the tip of Everest where a Cloud-Chimera emerged many years ago. Their mass and speed instantly smashes the summit apart and creates a massive avalanche, with the two titans caught in the midst of it; everyone immediately ceases fighting to attempt to escape from the falling snow and gargantuan automatons.
- Even with the two of them and the snowfall they bring, some of the C.D.F and Axis Alliance are still engaging in combat, albeit whilst still having to slide and run down the mountain slope.
- Colonel Polendina in particular is sliding down as she engages a Loyalist Keeper.
- (Loyalist Keeper): Come here, Android!
- (Col. Curie Polendina): You want me? Then come get me!
- The Loyalist Keeper leaps at the colonel; she easily jumps over him. She then leaps onto his back and rides the Atlantean automaton down the rest of the slope like a toboggan. As the two giants and the avalanche they carry with them gain in speed and force, more and more of the combatants are swept up in their wake. However, Colonel Polendina, her squad of Androids, and a large majority of the C.D.F. have managed to stay ahead of all the others thanks to the colonel's warning.
- Soon enough, everything comes to a crashing stop at the evacuated Himalayan village.

- [Rangpur, Bangladesh]
- [Colony State - Super-Nation]
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In the area of Rangpur, Bangladesh, things are comparatively quiet compared to many other corners of the world. However, it's not for lack of recent action.
- The majority of the area is in ruin or flames, a clear sign of heavy urban warfare. All over the roads, bodies and metal pieces are strewn about. Most of them belong to Loyalist Mimetics or members of the Civil Defense Force, though the occasional civilian can be made out as well. What's most interesting is the massive wreckage at the edge of the city.
- This wreckage belongs to none other than the Guardian Sentinel, an Artillery-class, that crashed into Mount Everest over a day ago. Around it lie massive pieces of metals and faint hard-light particles, indicating that it managed to take down the Mimetic Colossus it was fighting with it. Indeed, all seems quiet in Rangpur. However, a few pieces of rubble shift and shake next to the wrecked automatons.
- From the rubble, Colonel Curie Polendina, some members of her squad, and a few surviving C.D.F. remnants emerge, bruised and damaged but alive.
- (Col. Curie Polendina): Everyone okay? Good. Headquarters, this is Polendina. We've taken massive losses, but we're alive.
