Guard duty was the worst job a man could have. Although some might beg to differ, some believed that as a guard you got to sit around all day and watch the world go buy while you ate like kings. Unfortunately the was not true, most days Nero spent his time passing people through the checkpoint, checking passports and ID's and what not, once in a while there was the idiot who wanted to smuggle something in and when caught made a scene had was arrested, unfortunately those days were very rare, much more rare that he could bargain for. Nero missed the days of venturing outside the colony, protecting expediters from the beasts of the wild and bandits, that was the life. Unfortunately no one was really venturing out side anymore due to the recent disappearances of the colony's. Although it concerned Nero, he really could not do anything about it, so he just went about he daily life as is they never happened.

Nero flexed his mechanical arm, it felt just like his old arm, he could barely tell the difference, except for the fact that he could punch through steel due to the fact that it was military grade. Nero walked down the streets of the colony, making sure no one tried to pull anything funny.

"Testing, testing. Citizens of Zion. I have a very important announcement to make. Just south of our colony, another mining settlement has seemingly disappeared. TWR would like us to send a team to go investigate. All free hands should head towards the front gate. Captain, out."

When the announcement ended Nero did not hesitate, he immediately turned to the gate briskly walked towards it. This was finally his opportunity to leave Zion again, and be would not waste it.
