Aufbegehren, Chapter 1:
He sat down in his old broken chair, looking out of the tattered window.
As Friesshardt looked out, he saw a small boy running over the fields towards his farm house.. No more than 10 summers old, the japanese kid had come a few years back from the japanese protectorate of the GSR, an orphan, and Friesshardt had helped him in the past.. But this time the boy wasn't running in joy, no.
He came sprinting over the wheat fields, tripping again and again, screaming for his life..
"THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE! NO, PLEASE NO!"
Friesshardt was a hardened veteran of the Wehrmacht, been on seven deployments, his training kicked in and he jumped up.
Grabbing the old shotgun he had hung up over the fireplace, he ran over to the door and kicked it open..
"COME IN KID!"
After falling through the door frame, the poor boy started babbling about rebels, a whole army coming and raiding the villages..
"Please, please, Hoffmann, save us...."
Friesshardt Hoffmann helped the boy up and sat him on the chair, then counted his ammunition.. Three slugs and one round of birdshot..
He brought the boy to a room in the back, then sat down in his chair again, fumbling with an old, ragged military radio..
/GSR Emergency Broadcast: (Outdated, do not trust!)
"Komm schon du Stück Scheisse, transmit- Ah, perfekt.
...
Zhis is Friesshardt Hoffmann, Veteran of zhe Wehrmacht. Zhis goes out to any good soul out zhere, Ich am protecting a 10 year old boy, and rebel forces are coming to raid, murder, rape and pillage my home."
He pauses..
"Ich dont have much ammunition left, please hurry-"
/GSR Emergency Broadcast cut off. (Outdated, do not trust!)
Friesshardt slapped the smoking radio..
"Du kleines Stück Dreck! I damn hope you sent zhat message.."
He let the radio fall to the ground, leant back in his chair and aimed his shotgun out of the window, it only had one barrel..
Meanwhile, a few miles away in a small village a woman runs away, screaming her lungs out.. Several hooded men tackle her and pin her to the ground.. In the background lay her slaughtered husband and children, in the doorstep of their burning house.. Screams can be heard everywhere as the small village of Kurtheim encountered their first rebels..
Rules for this event:
-Don't just march in there, that defeats the purpose.
-This is on a backwater planet in GSR territory, this means that though it's a rather lawless area, no non-allied foreign military forces are in theory allowed to travel through, so you might need to explain yourself, depending what you send in.
-This is more of a character focused event, so I'd appreciate it if you sent civilians in there or only a single/two soldiers.
Have fun!
