《The Fragile World》Side Story-Prelude to Panic
Advertisement
??? in Russia Pov-
When I pull up to the entry gate I am stopped by the guards there. When I flash my ID they Nod me forward. It's seriously annoying that I have to show my ID every time even though most of these guys know me. But it's just protocol.
Well it's not there fault. They probably are just as strung up about it as me. The longer it takes me to clock in then the longer they have to wait for relief. Slinging my rifle over my should I step out of the vehicle and walk into the building.
After I am done with clocking in I meet up with my lieutenant. While looking at her I can't help think that she would be quite attractive if she didn't cut her hair so short. She has quite a figure. I nod to her waiting for orders. Finally the other guy gets here.
“Alright lets go”- Lieutenant
We silently follow her out the building. While on the way to the gate I can't help but wonder what we need all this security to protect. Not only is the base itself a restricted area, even the land surrounding it about four miles out is considered private property owned by the government.
While generally the police department turn people away if they get to close we still have to retain some type of contact with the outside. When we finally arrive at the gate the lieutenant lines them up, pats them down and sends them off. She finally leaves us to handle things here.
I can't but help feeling bored standing here. As usual the next time we will see anybody come through will likely be our relief. As it is my turn to do rounds I walk out the gate to make sure nobodies trying to climb the fence or something.

While moving along the fence I find myself feeling uneasy. As I continue along that uneasy feeling quickly turns into fear. I don't know the source so I swallow what I think is just paranoia. I spot a woman wearing black jeans, a blue shirt, a black trench and black boots.
When I get closer to this woman something in my mind screams for me to turn around. But as she is unarmed I dismiss it and call out to her.
“Hey! Please step away from the gate” -???
When she turns to me as if completely oblivious she smiles and replies.
“How odd it seems fear had the opposite effect on you.” She says
Finding her behavior a bit odd I point my weapon at her and reach for my radio.
“Ah! Perhaps now that you have a gun pointed at me I should release your mind so that you don't get trigger happy and draw anybody else to us. Well it doesn't matter anyways as it appears I was to late.” She says
The moment after she says that I no longer feel that nagging fear or the urge to run. I decide not to radio in as both the meaning behind her words and the effect deters me.
“What do you mean by that.” -???
“Does that matter?”- She asks
While watching her unsure of what to do space suddenly seemed to distort around her. Even the ground she was standing on displaced causing her to now float a few inches above a crater. Completely surprised by what just happened I accidentally let off a round but the bullet seems to stop just short of hitting her floating in that space. Unable to make sense of why this woman surrounded herself with some kind of force field the last thing I saw was her looking at me with pitying eyes before a bright flash of light.
