Broken life

[Cerberus]

The sun was shining and it seemed to be a wonderful day. The country of Emmeria had seen no problems even after the Ulysses 1994XF04 Asteroid. To the people on the Emmerian side all they had seen was shooting stars as it passed over them and landed in the neighboring country of Estovokia. They had gotten it much worse with a high death toll, their government collapsing and falling to a military government. Had the Emmerian government aided the creation of the Stonehenge project then perhaps things might of turned out differently.

Back In Gracemeria the day seemed like any other day, good weather forecasted for the day and nothing seemed to be of any trouble to a small little farm outside the city limits of Gracemeria. Suddenly rockets flew over head before dissapearing over the horizon where the city would be after a few minutes someone had come out side shouting. "The Bridge, They took out King's Bridge!" It wasn't long until tanks and troop carriers started to roll down the road. Toscha got out of the jeep and looked around as he checked his rifle. "Spread out, get those people back inside." The other soldiers nodded and started to crowd the people back into their houses. Toscha nodded and laughed abit. "Soon Gracemeria will be ours."

Luna a young 22 year old female looked outside her window. Her father dissapeared a few months ago and her mother died of a sickness many years ago so she had the house to herself. Although she had a lot of trouble paying her bills and doing odds jobs barely could put food on the table yet she lived well enough.

For days she knew of the advancing army but she figured they would leave her alone since they usally pay attention to the towns and cities.

Toscha looked at the road map then to his driver. "Up there along the hill, a small house, Lets go and see just who is living up there. The soldiers nodded and some got back into their jeep. Toscha got back in and they drove up the road. He checked his watch for a second before sitting back and enjoying the ride noticing the people mostly obeying orders from the Estovokian soldiers. The Jeep pulled up and the soldiers got out. He made a motion with his hand for his soldiers to wait outside. Some of them looked at Toscha while others walked around the house. Toscha waited outside and watched his soldiers. He turned down his radio for a second as it was starting to bother him. He walked up to the door and first felt the door handle. "locked." He then knocked on the handle and looked around. "Anyone inside step out or we will come in and force you out."

 

[Gina]

She was cooking dinner when she heard the knock. Hearing the order she opened the door. "Can I help you?" she asked wondering what the soliders wanted. She felt a bit nervous and scared since there has been many reports of the soliders taking everything away from people leaving them with nothing not even the clothes on their backs.

 

[Cerberus]

Toscha walked in and was followed by a few soldiers who said something in a different language. Toscha nodded and they moved around the house. "As you can tell M'am as of right now your government is no more and ours is in control of this country. Now our soldiers will be here for some time and I was wondering if I could set up my and my men's camp here on this nice farm land." Toscha looked their mother over before going on. "It would be a welcomed change instead of some barracks to enjoy a nice relaxing spot right here. So now if you wouldn't mind bringing your family down and telling them as well."

 

[Gina]

"Umm I live alone" she said looking at all the soliders. "I guess that would be ok as long as you don't kill the crops" she pointed at a small feild of vegtables which she grew to help during the winter. "And as long as you don't take everything away from me"

 

[Cerberus]

Toscha nodded and looked at his men before giving orders for them to set up tents and supplies to camp here. he then grabbed his radio and spoke into it telling command where he would be. He looked at Luna and nodded. "You have my word M'am. and where are my manners let me introduce myself. I am Captain 1st Class Toscha of the Strigion team." He then watched as his men started to unload equipment and tents from the trucks and set it up. "Thank you for the use of your fields and house." He noticed how calm she was and nodded. "now if you like you may go about your normal day's business. I can smell that you were in the process of making some food."

 

[Gina]

"Well I am not usally careing of whatever government is in control except for the taxes. How much taxes will you charge?" she asked. "Oh yes the vegtables I grow them for winter. Just don't touch them" she said.

 

[Cerberus]

Toscha nodded and whistled over to another soldiers. "This is Iliya, He is my 2nd in command and would be more then willing to help out so if you need to put him to work and he can tell the men to do the same should you need extra help around the house." He looked around but noticed no other men in the house besides him and his men and the way luna looked he was surprised that it was just her . they could be very good for him. "Don't worry You have my word and Iliya's that the jobs will get done." He then nodded to Iliya to head outside and wait for the orders to help

 

[Gina]

She nodded "Thank you but what about taxes in this area? I can barely afford paying the current taxes right now"
