[September 15, 2145]
[Shanghai, Chinese origin continent]

[Clean-up details following aftermath of P.E.M.F. attack and its defeat at the hands of Blade of the People]
[Feng Lee sits down beside a building, with Denouncer Daiyu Chen on top of the building]



(Denouncer Chen): Ms. Lee, that was a fine performance. You've done our nation a great service.

(Feng Lee): It's not enough.

(Denouncer Chen): Pardon?

(Feng Lee): That P.E.M.F. was small-fry, and I didn't even give it my all when I should've. My mind was clouded, and I made several misjudgments.

(Denouncer Chen): How so? I didn't notice any errors that wouldn't be expected--

(Feng Lee): That's just it! I made mistakes at all! I know better than that!

(Denouncer Chen): Ms. Lee, no one is perfect. I know your parents had certain........ 'expectations' of you, but they couldn't have predicted the gravity of these situations. None of us could.

(Feng Lee): Maybe, but I can't forgive myself regardless. Like a professional performance, everything must be perfectly aligned, or else the whole piece falls apart.

(Denouncer Chen): I sense that this isn't about the recent bout you had with the P.E.M.F. It's about what happened back on Jiran Island, isn't it?

(Feng Lee): 
*Sighs* Yes, ma'am. It was unlike anything I've ever seen. I saw the old footage of past P.E.M.F.s, studied the records, went through countless simulations, and now I've even went up against one personally. But all that pales in comparison to what I experienced on that island.

(Denouncer Chen): Ms. Lee, we're already investigating the matter, and--

(Feng Lee): Denouncer, I...... I need to go for now. Repair bay..... yes, repairs.

(Denouncer Chen): Very well. You're dismissed.


[Feng Lee stands up, and makes for the repair bay's entrance]


(Feng Lee): Before I leave, I just need you to know something.

(Denouncer Chen): Yes?

(Feng Lee): It doesn't matter how many of those P.E.M.F.s I face. None will ever compare to the creature from the islands. It was just...... different. Something about it that bellies anything, be it Human, animal, or even us Warmongers. Until I get my justice against it, I will not rest.


[Feng Lee continues walking to the repair bay]

[September 15, 2145]
[Ottawa, Canadian origin continent]
[Small urban residence]

[Family watches as one of their own prepares to leave for duty]



(Thomas Scott Jr.): Goodbye! I'll call you once I get to the base in Old Vegas!

(Thomas Scott Sr.): You'd better, or I'm gonna march there myself and give you what for!

(Martha Scott): Good luck son! Remember that you're a soldier, not a machine!

(Laura Scott): And if you are, I get your room, big brother!

(Thomas Scott Jr.): Duly noted!


[Thomas Scott climbs on-board one of the transport VTOLs; it flies off soon after]
[Thomas Scott takes one last look at his family down below as his transport leaves]



(Thomas Scott): I'll do you all proud.


You know the drill folks :P
I wonder why I even bother typing in any descriptions :/
