The Forbidden Theories Système 1 player(s) 2023-03-05
At those dark times, there are no impossible thoughts. Every dream is allowed, and sometimes they drive us so far we could reach a deep covered reality, hidden under glorious lies. What if there were no Aliens, no Hadean Furies rebellion, and we would just kill the witnesses of the horrible truth and go away with it? This is what may have happened. An unfortunate army, a hated General, a Greedy nation and a vicious union.

Escaped by Scavenger Cyborggeffien 1 player(s) 2020-04-18
In the Varia Fields area there are some Soviets doing an experiment. You have just escaped another CCA Base in the Varia Fields area. The NSDF Black Dogs have offered you a job at Varia-02-NSDF, which is a base located in the Southeast. However the closest Launch Pad is in the North so you have a way to go before you get to Varia-02 NSDF. When you get to the base, you need to recycle a Shield unit to activate your Recycler. Your base should already be protected. Send the Recycler to a geyser before doing anything else. We need a force to take out the CCA Production Units and stop whatever they're doing.

Varia Fields - C Sector Cyborggeffien 1 player(s) 2020-04-18
Commander, you have been dropped in a reclaimed base in Varia Fields - C Sector. This base was abandoned by the NSDF because of Fury Activity from the Soviets. However the Fury activity has possibly died down a bit. You need to repower the gun towers that are in your base. Do not leave your base until your Recycler arrives. When your Recycler arrives, deploy it, there are six "power towers" that need to be recycled. There is also a CCA MUF nearby the towers. Destroy that Factory. As soon as all of the Towers are Recycled and the Factory/MUF is destroyed, head to the CCA Base and destroy all production units.

Varia Fields - D Sector Cyborggeffien 1 player(s) 2020-04-18
Commander, this is the last of the Varia Fields we need to recapture. We were wrong about the CCA's Fury activity dying down a "little bit". The CCA is still going strong with the Furies and their Electricity shooting tanks. You will have to capture a relic. Once you have hold of the relic, take it to the relic drop off zone in your base. After capturing the relic, you must find the CCA base and destroy it. We also have discovered additional enemies coming in from the North. Deal with them as needed.

You, as a Russian, need to go and investigate a relic that has been dubbed "Specimen 1001." We think the NSDF are probably going to do the same thing. Once inspected, you must defend the relic.
