[indent][indent]The large screens on the bridge of the moon base blazes loudly, alerting the small skeleton team on the bridge of the moon base. The scientist wore the standard uniform of an man of science, for at least one of them had the iconic lab coat, and were clearly the employees of legacy. The alarms caught them off guard, sending them all in a frenzy as they quickly makes their way into the monitors, typing furiously as they search for the cost of the alarms. 

"Radiation signature detected." The computer declares which further panics the team. Until Gary enters the room, looking at the screen which zooms further and further into what appears to be a fortress. "We can't let that happen." He said as he quickly makes his way inside. "Call them, and activate the pathfinders." He resumes as he sit onto the command seat, in the middle of the room, as the others calmed down and quickly contacts the mercenaries under their control.

The rotors of several gunship echoes around the fortress and seconds later. Multiple missiles launched from their pods gliding into the air and onto the fortress itself. And with the surprise volley the sliding doors opened and with them paratroopers who immediately drop to the ground. 

While others dropped drop without the chutes landing to the ground with a heavy "Thunk". While on the horizon, an army of robots from the regular police bots to the special ones, emerged just outside the peripherals of the fortress defenders.   

A commander viewing the simulated blast but then the lifeforms were detected entering the airspace. But not only that they also found missles and police robots. "Not again, defense protocol "Fallen Empire". The commander tasked the men using the intercom radios. He quickly grabs his gun and heads out.

The missiles did a lot of damage. Some turrets and parts of the structure was doomed and collapsed. Soon enough the soldiers arrived.  "No mercy!" The soldiers uttered as they fired with their rifles. "Howitzers! We need to hold them until we can launch the peacekeeper!" The commander said as the men fired the fort's howitzers. But things were looking bad, some of the soldiers was already shot and killed.

"We need to contact Atlas! We need to launch that nuke now!" The commander said as he tells his men to contact Atlas City.

"Sir! they are launching the peacekeeper." One of the scientist commented. "Stop them at all cost." Gary commanded as they started hacking into the system, picking the program apart in an attempt to keep the launch at bay. And in some moment in time the thrusts stopped, quickly regaining it seconds after. But they didn't stopped as they continued to delay its launched.

[hr] 

On the front of the rows of the machines. We're two eerie looking couple, a large and muscular looking man, holding a AA-12, and a woman with a M24. The robots quickly charged into the fortress, while some of the others were climbing into the fortress walls. 

The mercs were firing into the defenders and rushing into the defenses, as they try to disarm or to stop the launch. The couple on the other hand were mowing down any, who was in their way. But, the strangest of all was the fact that the couple who spearheaded the robot army wasn't fazed by the bullets. 


The launch was being delayed sure but it was about to exit the silo. The men defended the peacekeeper but they failed. However reinforcements soon arrived and helped cool things a little. The mercs were swarmed but the peacekeeper was having some major glitches.

But it launched to the point where it can be seen exposed in the silo hole..

The droids quickly position themselves just around the exposed missile. Once station they pointed their blasters at the nuke and started blasting into it. Freezing it in one place, the robots and the mercenaries have reclaimed the courtyard. "Sir, the base is full of them and we can't get flush them out in time." One of the contractors reported as. "Do you have cryo charges with you." One of them ask the man as he scans the ventilation and the pipes. 

"Yes their with the sappers." He answers, pointing at what seems to be a huge transport ship that's currently being unloading by the troops putting them inside the courtyard. "Instruct them, to place the charges at the vents were gonna freeze everyone in them. "He commands as the sappers started hauling the equipment at the vents and pipes of the area. 

"3...2...1... BLOW IT!" The sapper counts down as the cyrocharges explodes spreading into the base and slowly but, surely freezes everything inside. Quickly the others sealed all the exits. trapping the personnel inside a frozen coffin, slowly freezing them in place.    

"Bang!" it could be heard. The personnel noticed the defect in the vents, they tried blocking their life support and go with back up but it was doomed to fail. Soon enough that same frozen substance has froze the controls. The nuke likes dormant and undetonated.

"Run, they can't reach us in the tunnels!" The men said as the rush for the maintenance tunnels. It did not have connection to the vents. "Quick -agh!" the men was frozen but four survivors was able to get inside. "Contact Atlas..NOW!" The man said as the survivors contacted Atlas

"Sector NSL11 Unit 10 to Atlas City they sabotaged the vents and some were frozen. We lost the fort" The man radioed "No! Agh..We lost Fort Zeus and all the weapons we have there!" The commander at Fort Atlas said. Fort Zeus was lost and UATMP has taken a huge hit to the stomach with it.

"Ok, enter." The he commands yet again, making the men ram the door revealing the corridors and the unfortunate men that got caught inside the frozen hell. Once opening the door, it revealed as the defenders frozen in place aiming their guns at the entrances, which could have been an confirmed kill to any that opened it. The invaders didn't suffer any losses. 

The cryo worked like a charmed as mode of the defenders weren't able to prepare for such an attack. Radiomen and essentials lies frozen in time. "Fortress is ours." They said as every room was hit except for the supplyroom or the warehouse. The men cheered around the standing corpses of their enemies. "Woah this is a winter wonderland." One of them comments as he knocks at one of them. 

As the men swept for any survivors the couple went up into the  control room looking at the frozen commander and his aide. The muscular man takes a look at him in his chair, and from the looks of it he was able to see them evident by the multitude of screens, unfortunately he didn't have the foresight to counter their secret weapon. "This is Dave, the nuke has been secured preparing to secure and establish our forward base." He reports in as he takes out a small tablet. 

While they focus on establishing and making the base functional again. "More of the mercenaries started repairing and fortifying the fortress. And in the courtyard they erected a large anterna. "We have successfully captured and secured the base. "We are attempting to get our weapons online, location is free for unloading of further military assets." He radios in while the others continue to unbox and unloadcrates of equipment.  

"Sir we got confirmed reports that they established a base." A man said monitoring the reports brought by the scouts "Alright, we got confirmation from Alex we are too shoot on sight however we have plans for them that of moral degration." He replied as he enables the P.A system. "The enemy has been confirmed to have decimated our operations at Fort Zeus however we need to act fast as we are in struggle." The commander said.

"Report to you squad leaders and official superiors, and do it for UATMP!"
