 Begin:... 

                 We finally hit the bastards where it hurt, after three long years of losing ground we finally hit them hard enough to cause their entire military rank structure to crumble and sent their R&D department into frenzy. After Sky Angel's operation Kruzifix, which was the cause of Berlin falling into their corporate hands we finally pulled our heads out of our asses and took them seriously. Their use of Class V A.I's was a big determining factor in how we handled these past two offencive's as well. I guess the first step to taking back Berlin and hitting Sky Angel where it hurt would of been Operation Orion.

 That operation, though in the long run will have bad effect" was still a success. Sky Angel was foolish in securing Berlin, They were able to keep the city surrounded, even had a dome put in place.. But the fools decided to leave the bulk of their Heavy Troopers and Shock Troopers all of which were Armitage and Harp class androids. The initial EMP attacks did little to our efforts, and by the time the first wave of Kriegs passed through the dome it was too late to launch another EMP attack--I'll give those bastards one thing, they're quick to think that's for sure. The Harp units are initially what pinned us down, their shock troopers are quick and accurate.. Luckily for us most of us kriegs were augmented-- In a large group we can do anything an AI can do, Coordinate instantly, see what the other is seeing, it hurts like a bitch when the Implants shut off once you're out of combat, hell even kills a few people but if that's what it takes.. (sighs into the voice recorder)
 Anyway, four hours into the battle we still hadn't made any ground, that's when we got the call to pull back. A lot of us were angry and confused but did as we were told; they had us pause three miles outside the city. ---What came next could only be described as beautiful agony. The sky suddenly shattered, the clouds over the city suddenly parted, a loud crack that could be heard from where we were sounded off, followed shortly by a blast of pink light that shone down from the heavens, the light started in the middle of the city then slowly engulfed the entire surrounding area, stopping just a few thousand yards from us.  I couldn’t believe it, I’ve heard rumors of these weapons but never knew the Navy and the Alliance would authorize it, The Fleet Admiral had the Alliance’s command ship glass the entire fucking city from orbit. In mere seconds a city that had thousands of years, worth of history just vanished into the pink blindness, like a child blowing out a flame on a birthday cake-WISKED AWAY, just like that—what followed after that was a silence so deafening that I had to snap my fingers to make sure I hadn’t gone death. There was an Impact crater at least 12 meters down by 4 meters in diameter.
 We waited an hours before approaching the crater—the soil cracked under the weight of our boots. It had turned to glass from the heat of the beam; the sky was darker than usual due to the smoke and fire still burning in some areas.  All of us were at a loss for words so we just kept with the job, the Marines left while we Kriegs stayed behind. “First one’s in, Last one’s out.” Was a motto we operated by.

                The next operation was only two hours after Berlin, we were blitzing our way to the final target, a class V android city and production’s plant—Neu Haven, the city was located in the Palatinate Forest, in a valley near the Kalmit peak- Was hidden quite well for a city that gave off an EM signature equal to London. We had received intel from the now captured Doctor Frank Harken’s about the location, That bastard was not only the CEO of Sky Angel but the sole creator of those abominations, he actually purposely created self-aware A.I.’s THEN gave them a fucking city. Our recon of the area confirmed what he had told us about the lay out. Two thousand physical AI’s, mixture of Armitage unit’s and civilian models, there was a sprawl that went for one meter, Charging unit’s placed inside of houses, then in the middle.. Our main objective, In the middle of it all were three large mainframes the size of skyscrapers.
The doctor had informed us that inside those mainframes were up to three hundred thousand self-aware A.I.’s—the first Mainframe with male’s the second with female’s the third with children and family’s—Family’s?! What a fucking joke and what a sick fuck for creating children A.I.’s of all fucking things, it made my stomach churn over.
 At around 02:40 just as the moon started to peak through the clouds is when I gave the order. The Exo-Suite operator in our squad grabbed his rail gun then sent a round flying towards the base of the mainframe with the so called “Family’s” direct hit, the mainframe exploded in blue flames all the way up before imploding on its self, that’s when from the other side of the valley another rail gun blast took out the second mainframe and then the third. Then in a classic scene out of what might as well of been ancient Nazi Germany we marched into Neu haven around all sides blocking all exits, the physical units were the only ones left, the ones that put up their hands we shot, the ones that ran we shot—Screams—An android screaming out for mercy or in pain is an unnerving un-natural thing.. It just makes you want to fucking shut it off and move on to the next, so that’s what we all did.. All of us—The genocide took about an hour and a half, I caught one trying to escape and removed it’s upper function’s before tossing it back in to the pile, that’s the good thing about those Armitage unit’s. One plasma blade to the brain and you can remove its upper functions without destroying it. We then waited on the outskirts of town while the Command Ship moved into the place; it had entered the atmosphere over the Atlantic and would take some time to reach us. A few of the Androids tried to make a jump to a satellite, I was able to rip two from mid-jump then threw it into a unit before I had it downgraded to a class I or deleted. The one’s that did make it to the satellite just found an even more sadistic program on the Satellite which just assimilated them.
 Dawn came—that’s when the command ship was over the city, then repeating the exact same thing as it did in Berlin, the sky blasted apart and the city was melted—The strange part is, I think I heard more screaming for a few seconds after the blast, And that was the end of that operation. A few days later Sky Angel surrendered—only to be executed in public---Fuckers deserved it.
