............

Alone in a pitch white void, lays Harvey in the middle.

...

" Mmhhhgg " Harvey opens his eyes and starts to look around.

" Wha-where am I? "

He gets up and soon, he starts to feel a very familiar aura surrounding the entire endless white void. A gentle breeze of fresh air starts flowing behind him

...

And upon realization, he smiles and closes his eyes.

" Hmmph. Hehe. Long time no see - "

*wing flaps*

Pieces of white feathers gently scattered across Harvey as he starts to look behind him.

" - Miss angel..... "

" INDEED. YOUNG WARRIOR. "

Floating up in the air, the angel’s mouth didn’t move again when speaking. She's still communicating through telepathy.

" So, why am I here again? Is there something wrong? "

But the angel didn't reply. With closed eyes, she just “stares” at Harvey in silence.

...

...

" Uhhm. Miss angel?..... "

...

...

" TELL ME, O’ BRAVE YOUNG. "

...

"BEFORE THOU SENT INTO THE OTHER WORLD, COUNTLESS AND FEW, HAVE AND HAD - . . . . . . . "

" . . . . . - FAILED. "

" Wh-what do you mean "failed"? " Harvey confusedly asked.

" . . . . HUMAN, MEN AND WOMEN, LIKE THEE, HAD FAILED, IN DOING, WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH . . . . "

" . . . . BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE AND BRAVERY, TO FACE SUCH TERRORS AND HORRORS. . . . "

" . . . . AND YET, YOU, JUST A MERE LIVING HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF THEM, DID AND SUCCEEDED. . . . "

...

...

" . . . . HOW COME IS THAT, O’ BRAVE WARRIOR?. . . . "

...

...

Harvey looks down with a sad face.

" There's no blaming them, miss angel. I just did what I think is the right way to do it. I’m trained to go and do my task no matter what comes......."

...

...

Harvey looks up.

" Back in my world and training, I know what humanity can do to each other in the name of rotten power and useless glory. Dead civilians scattered across streets, tending to an injured fellow soldier that his legs were amputated by an IED, having to shoot a little boy that has a suicide vest strapped on him, and other types of horrendous inhumanity. "

" So, it made me wonder again. That I can't let my emotions get the best of me. I can't let it hinder my missions, because if I did, it may lead to further demise - not only to myself but also to my fellow brothers-in-arms and innocent civilians. "

" For that, it made me want to eagerly finish my SOF training. I chose to be a pararescue operator to be precise. I want to help those who can't stand the horrors and terrors they've encountered. "

Harvey then looks down again and clenches his fists.

" ....And yet, I still can't help but feel scared. Scared of how long, and many, will have to suffer. Because we are not there at all times. And I'm just a mere human like the rest of them. There are times that I failed also. Like the time I couldn't rescue my subordinate's mother. And to those unfortunate drugged female slaves at the Archives Building, even though I planned to remove the drugs in them. Yet I couldn't because I realized that it would do more harm than good, which made me really heartbroken and helpless. Because of that, I had no option but to take their lives to let them rest in peace. "

...

...

Harvey then shed a tear.

" .....Sometimes, all I can do, -

" ... - is to ' watch silently ' at them. "

...

...

" *sniffs* Haha. I'm sorry. "

Harvey wipes off his tears.

...

" . . . . O’ BRAVE ONE. THEE LET SACRIFICE THY LIFE, FOR MAY OTHERS MAY LIVE IN PEACE AND GOOD. THEE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THYSELF. . . . . "

" *sniffs* I know. But, still, *sniffs* "

" . . . . BRAVE ONE, LET THY TEARS BE SAVED, AND LET THY SORROWS AND SADNESS BE HEALED BY THE ONES WHO LOOKS AT THEE WITH APPRECIATION, AND GRATITUDE. . . . . "

" . . . . AND THEE CANNOT STOP, FOR AS ANOTHER PARLOUS ENCOUNTER AWAITS. . . . . . "

" *sniffs* Wh-what do you mea- " Harvey confusedly asked.

" . . . . I PRAY FOR YOUR VICTORY, O’ BRAVE ONE. TILL WE MEET AGAIN . . . . . . "

" Wait! "

As Harvey tried to approach the angel floating near him, a very bright light illuminates from the angel that made Harvey stop and closes both of his eyes as he tries to block off the light with his hands.

" WH-WHAT'S HAPPENING? MISS ANGEL!" MISS ANGEL! "

...

Harvey opens his eyes while gasping for air and he hears Felicia on his left side.

[ Felicia ] : " Sir, are you alright? Did you have a bad dream? "

Harvey looks around. He is still laying down on his blanket bed inside the caravan. There's Aida and Felicia seated near and looking at him with worry, FOXTROT 11 looking out behind the caravan as the rear guard, and FOXTROT 10 driving the caravan on his left side.

He leans and looks at Felicia.

[ Harvey ] : " Wha - ......I-I'm okay. Thank you. "

He said while brushing his face and eyes off.

[ Felicia ] : " Are you sure? You were also crying in your sleep. "

Harvey sits up and scratches his stomach with an awkward smile.

[ Harvey ] : " Hehe. It's alright. I just dreamt of you taking the last slice of beef meat for dinner. "

Felicia’s face twitches in disbelief and surprise.

[ Felicia ] : " Gekh! I'm not that of a glutton, sir! And isn't that exaggeration? "

[ Harvey ] : " Ahahaha. Oh yeah. *sigh* What time is it by the way? "

Harvey then checks his wristwatch. It displays that it’s now 1215 hours.

[ Harvey ] : " Huh? We've been traveling for three hours? Did you guys take a break earlier? "

He asked the girls with worry. Felicia then smiles at him and stretches both of her arms up in the air.

[ Felicia ] : " Yes sir. We just didn't wake you up. You still need some rest after all the events yesterday. "

[ Harvey ] : " Oh. I see. Thank you. How about you, Aida? Are you alright there? Just ask Felicia what's bothering you, alright? "

Aida nods awkwardly to Harvey.

[ Aida ] : " Ye-yes! I'm fine. Th-thank you, Sir Harvey. "

[ Harvey ] : “ Hehe. “

Harvey then leans to FOXTROT 11 at the rear of the caravan.

[ Harvey ] : “ What about you, fuck-face? Are you alright there? "

FOXTROT 11 then looks behind him and sees Harvey.

[ FOXTROT 11 ] : " Hmm? Are you talking about me, sir? Nah, I'm fine. I'm just glad that you didn't pick me as the driver of this caravan. Because.......you know.......after all that happened.....last night.... ( - _ - ) "

FOXTROT 11 said as he turned back away and looked at the rear of the caravan with awkwardness and a little uncomfortably.

Harvey also remembered it and felt the awkwardness and shivers. He then laughs awkwardly while looking at the side of the caravan with a wry smile.

[ Harvey ] : " O-OH! A-Aahahahahaha. Ye-yeah. Ahahaha.......haa....*sigh*. "

Felicia and Aida then got curious about what they were talking about and asked them.

[ Felicia ] : " Hmm? What happened last night, Sir Harvey? "

But Harvey didn't respond and still looked in the opposite direction. This made Felicia and Aida even more confused.

[ Felicia ] : " Si-Sir Harvey? "

…

Felicia then leans and asks FOXTROT 11 on the rear of the caravan.

[ Felicia ] : " FOXTROT 11, what happened? "

But FOXTROT 11 didn't respond. He just also continued to stare outside of the caravan.

...

[ Felicia ] : " Ehh? What's happening? Why won't you two respond? "

Felicia said as she both looked at Harvey and FOXTROT 11 with confusion. She then goes near FOXTROT 10 by the driver in front of the caravan and asks him about the topic.

[ Felicia ] : " Hey. What happened last night where Sir Harvey and his team went? "

Startled by the sudden question, FOXTROT 10 makes an excuse as he continues to handle the two ropes of the horses.

[ FOXTROT 10 ] : " O-oh. About that. We-well, let's just say that it got nasty last night, that even you two girls won't have the need to know. "

Felicia makes a little shocked face.

[ Felicia ] : " E-ehhh? Really? O-okay. I'm not gonna ask now. Sorry. "

Felicia goes back to her position and an awkward atmosphere fills inside the caravan, while Aida looks around in confusion.

...

[ Harvey ] : " Urrghh.. "

...

[ FOXTROT 11 ] : " .......... "

...

[ Felicia ] : " ............. "

…

In the midst of silence, Aida lets out a soft voice.

[ Aida ] : " Uhmmm.. "

Immediately, Felicia and Harvey simultaneously look and reply back to Aida.

[ Felicia and Harvey ] : " WH-WHAT IS IT, AIDA? "

This made Aida a little bit startled.

[ Aida ] : " Eeek! "

The two recognize their mistakes and apologize to each other.

[ Felicia ] : " Ah- I'm sorry. "

[ Harvey ] : " Ye-yeah. I'm sorry too. Go ahead, Aida. "

[ Aida ] : " Uh-uhmm. Whe-where are we headed exactly, Sir Harvey? "

[ Harvey ] : " Ah. We're going to our base in the middle of the Gargan Forest. "

Aida’s eyes widened in surprise.

[ Aida ] : " Eh? Wait, that is probably one of the remotest places on this continent. How did you set up a base in the middle of the forest? "

[ Harvey ] : " We-well, I also spawned plenty of men to build our bases. One is in the middle of the forest, while the other one is located at Arksonville. "

[ Aida ] : " Hmm? If there's one of your bases located in Arksonville, which is just near to us, then why did we have to go to the middle of the forest - base? "

[ Harvey ] : " Yeah. Because it’s where our main base is located. We called it "H.Q.". The other one is called Arkson Base. "

[ Aida ] : " O-oh. I see. We're going to your main base, instead of the other one. I suppose the people you rescued were also there? "

[ Harvey ] : " Yeah. Just wait a little longer and I will introduce them to you. "

[ Aida ] : " O-oh. I understood, Sir Harvey. I'm looking forward to it!. "

[ Harvey ] : " Hehe. You bet. “

Harvey then yawns. He’s still feeling sleepy and lays down on his bed again.

[ Harvey ] : “ Now if you excuse me, I will again take a nap. Good afternoon. "

Aida smiles at Harvey and grabs a book nearby for her to read and spend some time.

[ Aida ] : " Good afternoon to you too, Sir Harvey. "

Felicia goes back on cleaning her SIG M17 pistol she just disassembled earlier.

[ Felicia ] : " Isn't it supposed to be "Good night"? "

While looking outside at the rear of the caravan, FOXTROT 11 responds with a laugh.

[ FOXTROT 11 ] : " Haha! That's the joke, dumbass. "

[ Felicia ] : " WHA-?! "

She looked at FOXTROT 11 with annoyance.

[ Harvey ] : " Ahaha. Now please shut up. *yawns*. See ya guys later. "

Just after a couple of minutes, Harvey falls back again to his sleep. While the other goes back on what they are doing.

...

...

…

*beeeeeeeeep*

“1453 hrs.”
“H.Q.”
“Gargan Forest”

…

…

...

After hours of travel and numerous hidden checkpoints checkups, Harvey and Co.'s caravan finally arrived at H.Q. Their caravan is now approaching a designated and special parking lot for caravans.

Aida takes a look outside of the caravan and is amazed by the new and unique environment of the modern military base. Buildings made of metal and concrete, iron caravans that didn't need horses or people, and soldiers wearing strange clothing and weapons, like the ones she saw from Harvey, Felicia, and their friends.

[ Aida ] : " WOW! I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE! WHAT ARE ALL OF THESE, FELICIA? "

[ Felicia ] : " Ah. Them? Hmm:

- The ones that were parked there in the wide field are called "Jets" or "Planes". They can shoot fire and cannons while flying up in the air.

- The moving iron caravans were called "Jeeps". They are used for fast transport and they don’t need horses.

- While the bigger ones over there with the long tubes are also called
“Artilleries” , but they are more sophisticated and more powerful than the ones the kingdom uses.

- And the people that are marching and scattered across the base are Sir Harvey's army. But, in ranks, he doesn't have direct command in them. He assigned someone instead. "

[ Aida ] : " Eh? Why is that? "

She asked in confusion.

[ Felicia ] : " We-well. It's kind of complicated. But I'm sure you will get the gist of it once we introduce you to them. "

[ Aida ] : " Oh. Okay! "

Aida continues to look around the base with amazement while Felicia tries to wake Harvey. She shakes his shoulders repeatedly to wake him up.

[ Felicia ] : " Sir! Wake up! We're now at H.Q.! Sir Harvey! Oiiii... "

Harvey then opens his eyes.

[ Harvey ] : " Hm?Wha-what?! Are we now at H.Q.? "

[ Felicia ] : " Yes. Come on, sir. Get up. "

[ Harvey ] : " Yes yes. "

Harvey sits and stretches his arms and legs.

...

...

…

*beeeeeeeeep*

“1510 hrs.”
“Parking Lot”
“H.Q.”
“Gargan Forest”

…

…

...

As FOXTROT 10 parked the caravan on the parking lot full of caravans, they were approached by an RTO of H.Q. and saluted them.

[ H.Q. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Taz 1-14 , 4th Bn. ] : " *salutes* R.T.O. Taz 1-14, sir. "

[ FOXTROT 10 ] : " *salutes* You're here for Sir Harvey? Wait a moment. They are going out of the caravan now. "

[ H.Q. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Taz 1-14 , 4th Bn. ] : " Roger. "

FOXTROT 10 disembarks to his position. FOXTROT 11 then comes next. Then Aida, and Felicia. As they went outside of the caravan, they were being saluted again by RTO Taz 1-14.

[ H.Q. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Taz 1-14 , 4th Bn. ] : " *salutes* Welcome back, sir. ma'am, and..... "

Taz 1-14 then looks at Aida with question. Beside her, is Felicia and introduces Aida to him.

[ Felicia ] : " *salutes* Oh. This is Aida. You know, the VIP we called earlier in the radio transmission. "

[ Aida ] : " NI-NICE TO MEET YOU! I'M AIDA! "

Aida said with shyness and awkwardness.

[ H.Q. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Taz 1-14 , 4th Bn. ] : " Haha. No need to be formal. I'm Taz 1-14. But you can call me 'T1-14' for short. "

Taz 1-14 then reaches an arm to shake hands with Aida.

[ Aida ] : " Nice to meet you too, T1-14! "

The two shake hands and after the small greeting, Harvey gets off the caravan and is greeted by Taz 1-14.

[ H.Q. ] [ Radio Telephone Operator ] [ Taz 1-14 , 4th Bn. ] : " *salutes* Welcome back, Sir Harvey! "

[ Harvey ] : " *salutes* Hm? What's the matter? "

Upon realizing immediately, Felicia remembers an important transmission with H.Q. an hour ago and notifies Harvey about it.

[ Felicia ] : " Oh. I almost forgot, Sir Harvey. Earlier, FOXTROT 11 radioed to H.Q. that we are nearing and approaching the base. He then also receives an urgent announcement regarding you. It's a bit late, but I'm sorry. "

[ Harvey ] : " Oh okay. Nah it's fine. Thank you for telling me that but, I'm afraid you will have to accompany Aida on introducing her to the others and touring her without me. Is that okay? "

[ Felicia ] : " It's fine, Sir Harvey! I also know the base like the back of my hand. I can tour her afterward. "

[ Harvey ] : " Oh alright. Then, Aida, follow Felicia at all times, alright? Don't stray away from her. This base is big and you might've lost yourself. Alright? "

[ Aida ] : " U-Understood, Sir Harvey! "

[ Harvey ] : " Okay. And you two, you guys will link up with the others? "

He said to the two FOXTROT Operators with them.

[ FOXTROT 10 ] : " Hm. I'm planning to check the Main House and see what they are doing there. "

[ FOXTROT 11 ] : " Sounds good. I'll go with you. "

[ Harvey ] : " Hmm. Alright. You guys will accompany the two girls. "

[ FOXTROT 10 ] : " Understood *salutes*. "

[ FOXTROT 11 ] : " Wilco *salutes*. "

[ Harvey ] : " *salutes* Then off you go. See ya guys later. "

The four then went off, leaving Taz 1-14 and Harvey in the parking lot.

[ Harvey ] : " So, what's the holdup? "

Harvey asked the RTO as they walked towards the Main Operations Building. Taz 1-14 then informs Harvey about the situation at the overwatch site FISHERCOVE.

Together with the HOTEL Operators that were dispatched as a quick reaction group and as an overwatch group at that base, and the various reports of Riman Nation's military activities that were observed and seen at the man-made ports at Dittol Bay and Gulf of Drasthma.

...

...

…

*beeeeeeeeep*

“1531 hrs.”
“Main Operations Room”
“H.Q.”
“Gargan Forest”

…

…

...

After the short walk and briefing, the two arrived at the Main Operations Building.

As they went inside, Harvey was also greeted by various military personnel as they walked towards Colonel Hopkins' Office.

...

...

As they now arrived outside of Colonel Hopkin’s Office, Taz 1-14 then left Harvey and went back to his post in the Radio and Communications Room.

Harvey let out a sigh before knocking at the door of the office.

*knock* *knock*

A faint Colonel’s voice then emerges behind the door.

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " Come on in. "

Harvey then opens the door and lets out a short salute.

[ Harvey ] : " Long time no see, Colonel. *salutes* "

The Colonel stands up by his office table with surprise and joy as he sees Harvey again.

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " SIR HARVEY! Good to see you again, sir. *salutes* "

The two shake hands again in greetings.

[ Harvey ] : " Likewise. Now then, about this Riman Force's navy ports at the two water bodies near FISHERCOVE. "

Havey said with intrigue and worry.

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " Yes sir. "

The two then went to a map board of the whole eastern part of the Gargan Forest, along with its waters and FISHERCOVE beside the office table and the Colonel starts pinpointing locations by his right index finger.

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } :

- " Overwatch Elements reported that at 0810 hrs., Team 3, consisting of HOTEL 13, Rotter 3-4, Rotter 3-5, Rotter 3-6, and Rotter 3-7, massive Riman Navy ships were seen patrolling along the Gulf of Drasthma. "

- " And Team 2, consisting of HOTEL 12, Rotter 3-8, Rotter 3-9, Rotter 3-10, and Rotter 3-11, confirmed that by 0853 hrs., Riman Soldiers disembark from their ships at Dittol Bay. "

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " And because it's another nation that was in the area, I decided that I will wait for your choice of decision about these events. For now, we are still holding ground and surveying until your further command. "

...

Harvey placed both hands on his hip as he carefully studied the map. The map has markings over the two water bodies that were mentioned. They were marked by Riman Flags, indicating that they are now based in those certain areas.

[ A.N.: Sorry for the lame-ass flag. I couldn't help it. Alright....]

...

[ Harvey ] : " Hmmm. "

Harvey then goes to the office table.

[ Harvey ] : " Come here. "

The Colonel then approaches Harvey.

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " What is it, sir? "

Harvey then opens up his Military Development System. As Harvey scrolls his blue hud, he goes through several navy warship blueprints.

From Nimitz-class carrier vessels like the USS Theodore Roosevelt -

 - to destroyer vessels like the Zumwalt-class USS DDG Zumwalt.

...

[ Harvey ] : " Hmmmm. How about U-Boats? "

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " U-Boats huh? I’ll go 50/50 on that, sir. Too nimble for the survey, but also has a short underwater operation. "

[ FOXTROT 01 - Harvey ] : " Heh. Yeah. I got you. "

...

...

Then after some thinking and scrolling through the hud, Harvey finally gets his decision. He stops on a certain blueprint and explains it to the Colonel.

[ Harvey ] : " Alright. I think I’ve found it. Whaddya say? I'm not an expert in this. I might then also designate a Navy Commander once we started building our Navy Department. "

{ H.Q. } { Chief of Main Operations } { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " Hmm. This should work, sir. But, I'm afraid that you will have to go to those water bodies in order to spawn this warship. "

[ Harvey ] : " Nah don't sweat it. If it means to have secured and safe positions around the coastal and water areas of the Dawen River, I don't mind it. "

In the hud, it displays a blueprint of a nuclear-powered U.S. Submarine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Virginia-class submarine - USS Vermont.
