READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 2: Chapter 1:The Colonies
Somewhere in vast space in the universe,in the unknown star system and inside the planet with almost similar property with planet Earth. A young man wearing a sleek green jacket probably has a water proof coating,black jean and some hard boat running around the forest while screaming.
"Argh... What happened,where am I. Mom! Dad!. Lil bro? Where are you." In panic, he ran around the corner with haste.
Currently,He just woke up in the middle of a dense alien forest.It takes a while to process the information.Upon realising, he begins a panic attack and screams on top from his lung in hope somebody might hear him. His starting running in a random direction so he didn't bother to find the way out.Some of the fauna he never seen before and most are carnivorous creatures that try to eat him. He managed to dodge most of them and hide until they were gone. Even the fauna are dangerous as he almost got eaten by a huge Venus trap plant like thing. The saliva is acidic enough to threaten him but not that potent yet. As he didn't discover those things yet.
But with luck on his side, he managed to get out from the forest before the night and of course some kind alien predator and stuff.Couple of hour walking.He found a massive futuristic city with a huge steel wall surrounding it. With some kind weapon on each corner.He walk heading straight to that biggest structure with fast past without even tired let alone a sweat.
"Sonnobeetch. Send me back home!?" Crying as he begins to speed up his pace. Then a wide blue screen display magically appears in front of him,blocking his view to his destination.With a familiar sound track the game he played not so long ago.

"(Ouch.I know I'm not a gym guy but damn this hurt.But this is a good start.Again this was not what asked for. Didn't notice tho how the heck I'm not tired that much after running so much and screaming like a maniac and how fast calmer I got. This must be system benefits like most novels,comic manga or whatever this thing is.But what's up with gender status.Also commander unit?Is the system using a co-op campaign as a template?APC unit from campaign?) This is too good, but I'm asking what kind of rock I'm stuck on right now" Asking the question again while humming. But this time with a calmer voice than before. Waiting for a few minutes for a response and finally this 'thing' gave the answer I'm seeking.
[QUEST REWARD UPDATE]

[NOTE]

The time seems to stop for a brief moment. With gentle wind blow my hoodie cooling down my body from building up heat from running earlier. The sound of space cricket and blowing of alien grass begin to fill my ear. With a deep breath. I finally opened my mouth.
"SCREW YOU!!!?" Again with the screaming and cursing but more intense than before. After 30 full minutes he once again calmed down due to exhaustion and continued heading towards his new home.
While the base looks closer because of the sheer size of the colony it tricks Jean Razak's eye or brain. It takes longer than he calculated before. Upon his arrival dozens of metallic colour 2 meter tall hulking armored people come to face Razak. While he knew those people are his subordinate but scared to move due to overwhelming presence. Augmented or not he is still in fact a civilian with no training and minimal knowledge about the military.
Let alone the military he is about to lead is almost half of the millennium compared to modern earth he knew. Before Jean Razak could utter a word, one of the Armored soldiers came forth and greeted him while doing military signs.But this one is special as this is the only one with painted colour black with custom visor similar to serpent skeleton. The 'S' snake bone on his bulking shoulder could be seen as menacingly.
"This is Commander Jim's Raynor of the marine corps sir. Ready to fulfill the duty as a soldier.We have been waiting for you. Your order sir" As he saluted me and introduced himself with a firm yet gentle voice.The visor is open revealing his feature for Razak to see.Then character data appear before eye to read.
[CHARACTER DATA]
NAME:JIM RAYNOR
AGE:34
RANK:COMMANDER
"(Yep, this is the infamous one of the StarCraft protagonist. Marshall Jim Raynor in flesh.So he is the commander unit.The free unit beside Kerringan and Artanis in co-ops. But he looks youthful compared to him in StarCraft 2 WoL. Maybe this is his face during the StarCraft 1 reboot I play before getting isekai'd here.?Anyway) Commander, send some of our man power in a group of 3 patrolling surrounding perimeter to check if our base operation is safe. Do it in shift for tonight. Tomorrow will be a survey surrounding the area for resource and land information. For now let's rest for a night shall we. So where am I staying?"
"Right away sir. By any chance you are hungry" asking while guiding me to the place to sleep.
"I'm starving, I guess I do need some refreshment before I go to sleep."
Then he explores and learns about the base. Although he knew to some extent about the function it was limited to game lore and Wikipedia. He sleeps at midnight as he sleeps inside the command centre in the commander chamber. Inside the room features a more comfortable bed. The toilet and shower is advanced to befits the future innovation and invention might have become in his original world.
~{ TIME SKIP}~
{Morning}
The alarm clock has a ringing, awakening the protagonist from his bed. After cleaning himself like showering, brushing teeth and having some breakfast. He put on the newly acquired equipment,Green Olives colour Power Armor CMC-400a (UED) variant. Similar to Raynor armor CMC-400c in design,but it has more advanced and sophisticated features such as better protection material and in board AI to enhance suit performance like more accurate radar pulse sensor,targeting system and limited tactical advisors.
Although is not on equal level to Halo AI and spartan armor system but still better than nothing.It means on paper, his armor is better than the most of his forces who majority only equipped with grunt wearing CMC-300s and fraction with CMC-400s for high ranked officer. Standing at 2.20 meter height and weight of 1100kg depends on person and variant as most of the armor currently have similar specs in dimension.While it's pretty awkward due to the size and bulkier design but still comfortable enough to wear at least for short periods of time.
By the way Jean Razak height is 165cm and he is short of compared to western people but decent in the Asia region.
In front of the command centre, there lies his troops line up with a perfect synth. The first line is Dominion Troopers as the backbone of this army. A light infantry of Arcturus Mengsk unit in Co-op. Equipped with a less armored but slim variant of CMC-300. While it's weaker than its cousin but the sheer versatility could not be compared to. One of the advantages is the cheaper cost production and faster deployment due to less complexity of the armor could be produced.Equip with vast arsenal of weaponry to deal specific enemies like anti armor, anti air and suppression fire support and many more should I research more.
(PICTURE)
The second line is the marine corps as Jim Raynor as a leader. Unlike the Terran Dominion, this marines is better training and not constrip from criminals. It means not only they can act as professional soldiers but most of them have a good moral as human beings 'if' we compare them to the OG version. How I know? Simple because the system was kind enough to give me the information just now and it said it has something to do with lore this colony soon to be new interstellar empire.
Last but not least the Armoured Mechanise unit consists of at least 30 armored personal carriers. This unit first debuted in WoL campaign or Wings of Liberty with 2 variant.With 8.5 meter length,4 meter width and 3.5 meter high dimension.The standard version armed with Auto gun for self defense as it focuses for transportation up to 14 Dominion Troopers with minimal armor for higher cruise speed.
The military's version has thicker armor and more powerful weapons, twin Gauss cannon. Imagine if Marine standard issue rifle C-14 Impaler 8mm Gauss Rifle have power of roughly 30mm Avenger cannon on A-10 warthogs.I would be nasty especially against infantry and less armored vehicles.The troops number is lesser as it could only carried 8 Dominion Troopers.But just like Dominion Troopers, the vehicle could be equip with another set of weapon I might not know about it.Man Starcraft lore are not consistent so mostly it's up to fandom to decide those things.
Remember 1 marine takes the place of 2 slots in a single seat. So only 4 man team could be carried and a bit slower due to its heavier load.Ok let's focus on objectives today folks.
" *Cought* Commander status report. Any anomally?" I ask with a little awkward but firm voice.
"Nothing fancy we found last night sir. Just a couple of local wild animals that are too close for comfort. Our marine just scares them so nothing to worry about for now.Those animal might come back at us as revenge what we did to them weeks ago?" As he stopped giving some suspend to intriguing my curiosity.
"You mean, they could come back for revenge and weeks ago?" I ask again for confirmation.
"About that, better take a look. I'm sending the information directly to your suit. The AI will explain everything to you about our current situation." As he presses the button on his iPad sort of. Then the sound ding could be heard from my left ear in my suit.
Automatically the visor close it self and HUD begin to life up showing the image akin to most FPS point of view HUD design.For few minutes it just explain about the basic information such as base conditions etc.But there is one of few thing that totally caught be of guard since getting kidnapped by this System sh1t. Finally I understood why the main mission objective is to leave these rocks.
"You freaking arsehole. On all planets you can throw at me. But here? I need of a freaking army of space marine you sonnab-"
Thus this is concluded on my very first day on an alien planet and mission with stupid penalty on top of my head. Impatient and arsehole sound I like, who in their right mind can coop with this as a totally regular human being. Being like an otaku geek and still finding a reality is not the same as fiction in our head.I mean come on, I have life and family over there. Not even NEAT deserve such a thing.
