Taking place during the original Faction Wars. Factions: Vanguard, Dead Orbit, FWC, New Monarchy, The Concordat, and The Seven Sariphs. Main Characters: Oppotis (Human Female Striker Titan): Her hair is short and black. She is a little bit pale She is part of New Monarchy. (If you are to develop this into machinima then you MUST either use Suros Fire shader, a New Monarchy shader, or the God of War shader. She must also have full new monarchy gear or at least the helmet and vanguard gear. Give her righteous vii) She is serious about most things she does and believes in a perfect order to command The Last City. She will resort to violence if necessary to achieve this. Occidat (Human Male Nightstalker) His skin is tan and his brown hair is messy. He is very sure that the city isn’t the last hope for Humanity and the Exos. He is being trained by Dead Orbit to join their fleet and for ground assaults. (If you are going for machinima use the Dead Orbit armor and shader please. He NEEDS the Dead orbit Full armor set. Try getting the Dead Orbit shader. If not use no shader or use Chatterwhite. Have the Paleocontact JPK-43 for primary.) Tex-1 (EXO Male Gunslinger Hunter) A red skinned exo with yellow eyes. He knows so much compared to others. (He is part of the Future War Cult {The FWC was called the War Cult at the time} I recommend that he wears the FWC armor set and their fusion rifle if this becomes a machinima) His mind calculations deceive him. He understands what it means to be human yet his inner systems count down to some kind of Future War. Aella (Awoken Female Voidwalker Warlock) (For machinima wear Chanston de geste shader) She is part of the Concordat and will stop at nothing to achieve their ultimate goal of taking over the Consensus. She was appointed by Lysander himself. Traeth (HUMAN Male Sunsinger Warlock) A member of the Seven Sariphs. (Wears the Dawncaller Shader and has the First Curse) Knowing that one day he will become history Traeth will do anything they can to fulfill the ultimate goal of the Seven Sariphs. Only problem is that no one knows what it is. Even the Seven Sariphs themselves… EPISODE I PROLOGUE TO EPISODE I The setting is the Devils’ Spire. It is a hidden Concordat base. Lysander, the leader of the Concordat walks in. His helmet is on. His second in command, Doulos, is waiting. Lysander: Mission report. Doulos: Success. However, we lost one of our risen. They were killed by a Dead Orbit spy. I fear that they also know of the information in Old Chicago. Lysander: He glares at him. If the Dead Orbit fleet gets the blueprints for the star cruiser they will not only have the military power of Rasputin but they will also gain access to means of an instant escape if we attack. Doulos: I am well aware of that sir. We have found three Guardians in enemy territory. New York specifically. They belong to the War Cult, Dead Orbit, and New Monarchy. Lysander: So then bring them to me. We take them to the Archive on Venus. Interrogate them there. In the meantime prepare a message to the other factions. Tell them of their risen we have prisoner. Order them to surrender or we kill them. If a single faction doesn’t comply we kill them all and attack their headquarters’. Doulos: Yes sir. I’ll call Aella and have her team capture them. In the meantime I will begin taking control of the Vanguard Hall. SCENE I: Setting: the tower. Guardians are out and about. Here we meet Traeth. He is arguing with Rahool. He was just given a rare out of an Exotic Engram. Rahool: That’s a rare specimen. Traeth: That came from an EXOTIC ENGRAM! Rahool: These are forgeries. Someone is wasting our time! Traeth: No shotgun Rahool! Rahool: Guardian, I don’t suppose you speak Golden Age German? No, no one does. Traeth: What has that got to do with anything? Rahool: These are forgeries. Someone is wasting our time! Traeth: Ok I’m out. Traeth walks away. He would much rather have Banshee give him his weapons. Doulos is waiting for Traeth next to Banshee. (At this point in time Banshee is currently Banshee-41) Doulos: He stares at Traeth. He mutters under his breath. What a Dreg. Level 40 and he wears a handmade Warlock bond instead of his own Faction’s. Banshee: Here you go Traeth. One Thesan Fr4. Be glad you pre-ordered it last week. I won't have enough supplies for a good one next week. Traeth: He points at Banshee Thanks man. It's always a hit or a miss with you. I've never actually seen you give me a TERRIBLE weapon. Banshee: looking surprised Really? That hand cannon I gave you was broken. I ran out of supplies. Traeth: WHAT!?! It had a God roll Banshee: What do ‘ya know. Traeth: He walks away. he sees Doulos. “I've never seen you before. What Faction are you from?” Doulos: He looks at Traeth. “what does it matter to you Sariph scum?” Traeth: EXCUSE ME!?! Your a Concordat aren't you. Doulos: And if I am are you going to hurt me. That is very very Factionist. Traeth: Factionist? You’re a terrorist to the Consensus. A threat to all of us! Doulos: What you call terrorism is what I call justice. The Consensus that rules the last city is a terror group. They've been around forever. Controlling the last of Humanity and enslaving them into a system of tyranny. The Speaker you are allegiant to IS the DARKNESS. Traeth: I'm not ALLEGIANT to the Speaker. I'm allegiant to the Seven Sariphs. But if I know anything I know that the Speaker is the voice of the Traveler. And the Traveler is the light. Case Closed. Scene 2 Setting: Dead Orbit Headquarters Dead Orbit Commander: Has anyone been in contact with Echo Leader since we sent him to investigate the power surge in New York? Arach Jalaal: No sir. I'm afraid not. As we know, this mission was controlled by the Consensus. The War Cult, New Monarchy, and Dead Orbit were working together on this one. Dead Orbit Commander: Well then we may as well rule out Faction conflict as a reason for signal loss. Who were the other Risen? Arach Jalaal: Oppotis and Tex-1. Oppotis was a New Monarchy Titan and Tex was a War Cult Warlock. Occidat walks in Occidat: Commander, I hate to interrupt but Oppotis was my friend. She wouldn't easily get caught. And Echo Leader, Theladux was his name. My friend and a brother in arms. We learned to pilot our jumpships together. Arach Jalaal: Well Occidat. I hate to inform you but we have already sent the rest of Echo Cadre to New York. Dead Orbit Commander: We’re so sorry Occidat. Occidat: You should be sorry! You’ve sent the entire Echo Cadre to death. Occidat runs out of the room and to the Dead Orbit Hangar. He gets into his ship (The ship known as The Fermi Solution) The Ship heads off to New York. Arach Jalaal: Did he just say he was friend’s with the New Monarchy Titan? In New York some time later Occidat’s ship flies past ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER. He is heading towards the ruins of the Empire State Building. It is on fire and being constantly struck by lightning. He lands his ship next to the lobby of the Empire State Building . Occidat: He walks into the lobby of the once grand ESB. He looks around and wonders what it must have been like. He speaks: There's nothing left. He sees a Suros ARI-45 on the ground. He readies his weapon and aims down the sights. Concordat soldiers walk into the lobby. END OF EPISODE ONE
