Arknights: Starsfall I

Chapter 4

"Pitter, Patter"

Unknown Personnel
August, 1096
Ground 0, Colombian Union

The land in this area, which was roughly a 250 square meter sector, looked unnatural. If anything, it looked charred.

This was the site of the mysterious event that caused an explosion and the disappearance in a more accurate 237.8 meter rough circle. Now, normally, due to the fact the area seemed to have indicated a large scaled natural disaster occurred in the area, it may have been dismissed for some sort of new side effect.

However, footage from a hunter showed otherwise.

In one of the Colombian Cities, the capital actually, the hunter began running around, shouting about "Space invaders". And of course, the population ignored him, only a few paying him some heed, and even that is just to ridicule him on what appears to be unfounded claims.

For now, he is being ignored, but later on in the day, he manages to get to a computer and made an attempt to upload what he saw to a forum. It wasn't a terribly large one, but it's main server was in the biggest economic center of the world, so he might get somewhere.

"Come on... it needs to get out..." he overlooked the footage, and slapped his forehead when he remarked how shaky it was. Banging his head on the table more, he realizes he needs to pay for some editing software to try and sort this mess out.

He smiles as he was able to quickly acquire an editing software as he cracks his knuckles, watching as the program began to quickly boot up. Once it fully booted up, he inserted his video and rested his hand on the keyboard. "okay..."

"Time to get the truth out there." And soon, he was off to work.

He probably lost about 2 hours doing this.

The closing of a meeting room door was heard as the top leaders of the Colombian Union sat around a table.

The meeting was supposed to be HIGHLY confidential, so there is plenty of guards and security around the room. Files are to be burnt before ever leaving the room. No pictures or devices unless absolutely necessary.

The president was here, present. Despite what everybody thinks, she's not a robot, she's... complicated if anything. A mix of Lupo family and Sankta family. There's a lot of personal controversy surrounding her birth and nature, so the Agency of Defense Intelligence, ADI, made some lies and fabrications to keep her safe.

A/N: through all my research for the Columbian Union, things keep running short for me like politics, the president, and such, so i decided to try and modify it in what i believe would produce something interesting

Her little halo hung behind her. Her ears sharply stood at attention as she looks at her Department of Defense Secretaries who stood after nodding at her. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please direct yourselves to the 2nd page of the file we will pass out, now dubbed Incident Starfall," the secretaries began to hand out files as the president picks one up and looks at it, which seems to show about 8-9 lights falling from a catastrophe storm, "last night, at around 11:53, cameras picked up a catastrophe somewhere east of here. Old intel reports that the region that was hit has high density levels of Originium and high levels of Reunion Forces that we keep hearing about afar east."

Once the files got passed out and everybody was looking at the photo, he continued, "We thought that the crash killed all of them, so we sent a few drones over to investigate, however our radio operator, if you would turn the page please." The sounds of papers ruffling and soft conversation was heard as everybody was now looking at the charred and unusual landscape, "Everything in the area seems to have been... exploded away, per the words of our own drone operators. We don't know what it is, but we are monitoring everything that comes out of any External Network." The president sighs as she sets it down, looking at the secretary seriously.
