《The Final Light》Chapter 19: The Next Thing On Lights List
Advertisement
When we exited the sector a hour ago we were meant to have Trucks waiting for us somewhere but we somehow don’t have the trucks waiting for us so we can be sent back to HQ to be redeployed and reequipped with our new type of ammo, I don’t get how they can work so fast to change things. But the trucks are somewhere but not here so I guess we have to stay here a little longer than expected but it should not be long.
“Sir, I am Pvt, Hawthorn we have orders to take you back to HQ please hope in the Trucks we have prepared for you guys” well it appears I am just blind I guess “Thank You Pvt, Hawthorn for doing this” he straightens and solutes me then goes to where the trucks were while we get our stuff at this point we all have our gas masks off only having the built in masks of the hoods so we just have those on. When all our gear is collected we first load the dead into one truck, then other 2 that are there are for the injured with the both of them having some medical personnel to keep a eye on them, the other trucks which are 6 or 5 have the rest of the team then a small transport vehicle called the J-l90 or the J-90 for short that is where the command team is riding in.
So, we loaded in and left to head off to HQ for redeployment, which is going to take a good while to take a good while to do so I might as well talk to the others about things I guess and right now is a god time to question Kimber about this fiancé of his, “Kimber, I have a question” “Call me Toby when out of serious situations please Richard” “Fine but Toby but who is this person you are going to marry and at an age so young as 22” “Uh, I don’t know what you are talking about Richard” he is going red we have to dig deeper “Please we all heard you say that you had someone lined up for you when at the FOB who is it I didn’t get to see the photo” Says Winters with too much interest “Ok, Ford calm down please I have no idea of these kind of things” while Winters and Kimber go at it we will look bad people doing this but we are all friends no matter what even if we die, we are still all friends, now I am not going to say something like friendship and love of friends is all is needed in life to succeed it’s not but with them I feel like their family.

“Fine, Fine I will talk you guys” “YES!” that yelling may have cause us all in the J-90 hearing damage, thanks Winters “We both meet when we were kids and she is a noble and well when we got older into our teens her father wanted me to take there daughter’s hand in marriage so I agreed” “Damn I thought some hot and spicy stuff would happen before then like ‘oh I meet her under a tree then we both meet and fell in love and later when we were older I ask if she wanted to marry me’ that kind of way but now the way you have said it” “Ford you do have point” “See Toby Richard even agrees that the story was lack lustre” “Ford no need to go that deep Leave poor toby alone” “I will Connor” Well Jones got himself into the crossfire and Lich is too focused on driving not to notice what is going on.
With that conversation ended a new on started and repeat it went on like that until we reached HQ and we did not even realize that until Lich told us that we were at the HQ with that all the conversations died out and we went back to be like our work selves now, which can be very stressing around high-ranking officials. We all disembark from our vehicles the trucks with the injured and dead are moved to the medical division to get treated and have medical examinations done to the dead to see if how they died are different to others, while everyone else is to head to the main barracks to get rest and re arm and change into a different type of camo with the change of environment instead of grey with the bright colours scattered around the place but dulled we had to use camo that was grey and dark to match the environment that we were in now we will be going into bright vibrant areas with a lot of light so we need to go in during the night when it is dark so can have the surprise and so we are going to have to use Black camo so we can fit in more with the environment, obviously. While Me, Kimber, Jones, Winters, and Lich all have to go meet HCC, Jackson and go talk to him and have him explain the Area of Operation and the coup, I am not sure how they will react to the news of coup but there is only one way to find out.

We all head off into the Admin side of the HQ and wait for a military Admin Soldier and wait for them to take us to the Commander so he can speak to us about what we are going to do later, but the wait is something I never thought would be that bad until I started to wait for the soldier to appear and guide us to a meeting a room for a talk, it kinnda sucks having to wait a very long time for one person to come and guide us. “Hey, Captain what do you think the commander wants to talk to us about” “is something bothering you Lich about what is going on” “yea sort of” He is uneasy with what is going and not knowing anything that is going to happen when being talked to and what is going to happen when or while we walk there to him, so many questions.
“Sir, the commander will meet you now please follow me” We get up and wait for the young woman to guide us to Jacksons office or meeting area but she also seems to be very awkward around us and now that I think about it she also seems very familiar at the same time so I look at Kimber to prove my theory true and it is, the two love birds reunite again after months. I can’t help but smile for the two of them. While walking I get the feeling of that the whole building is on lock down due to something, what the hell have they been doing while I was away from here and I know it is not due to the uprising at all. “We are here the commander is waiting for you inside” “Thank you, what is your name and rank” “Jenifer White and I am a secretary Ranked Pvt Second Class” “well thank you SPvt, White for guiding us” I look back to Kimber who is at this moment wanting me to die due to what I was trying to do. She leaves and we open the doors and walk into the room.
I pull down my mask and sit down on the coach the others are looking at me like I am some random person who just walked in “What is it you need Jackson I know it is not about the uprising so what is it we have somewhere to be” “God you are fast to act different when you want to” “I wouldn’t act this way if I did not get called here to deal with something so unexpected as soon as we are going to be redeployed” “well I was going to inform the rest of your team about the ‘Plan’ that we are going to do after you finish the mission” “Uh, sir has the team already been briefed on the mission?” “Kimber, you and the rest of the command team have not been told this yet but we are planning about overthrowing the government of last light as they have been lost in the power at this point so we are going to overthrow the prime minster and change the government and the military so that our future generations live on without the fucking stupidity of the incompetent people in power” with that they all stood there with shock about what they heard.
“So what are you guys going to do after this report us to the authorities so we can never do anything against them” they stand there wondering what to do about it should they keep quite and get in as well or say something about it they don’t really know how to act about it but they all do come up with an idea of what they want to do and so after we leave they all keep quit about hat they think but I have an understanding of what there answer is ‘we will follow our captain threw all hell if he so wishes to’ but I could be wrong like I am about a lot of things.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.
