Second date with the Leaders of the free energy resistance.

Oh no. The nuclear option happened to Clarksville TN. Right on the heels of the bomb being dropped on those poor people the agency is sending a small team in to find any survivors. Forced to make decisions on what should be done with them. Or TO THEM on the spot. This is far more than anything I was prepared to be part of. Until I can either wake up from this horrible nightmare. Or can find a way back to 2022 I have to be part of the agency. George and Frank are like family to me. I won't let them go in without me as air cover! Not to mention my extra hearing!
 
Leaders of the free energy resistance.
 
Looks like they found some of their own. Some woman with claws and body armor and a merman? Frank turns into a wannabe Gojira. George runs into get revenge for Charles. Can't say I blame him. But someone has to remain above the fray. I'm the flyer.
 
Oh no! Not again. These free energy guys all cut through us like a saw during a tree fall limbing. Frank is down and bleeding out as Cat lady slices him up like he's cake at a birthday party! She turns on George now. George uses some combat training to block her first attack, but he can't stand up to this for long.
 
Once again, I attempt to talk to the Leaders of the free energy resistance. Same ole song and dance. To them I am the worst person of all! They will happily kill me George and Frank at a moment's notice. There are no winners in 2072. It's a real life mutually assured destruction scenario being played out real time. I'm too young (and new to this year) to be able to deal with the ideological differences to attempt to de- escalate the Leaders of free energy at this time.
 
Time to swoop down and grab Frank and hope George can hold off Cat lady until I can clear Frank up to a roof top. Come back for him. I do it. I'm hit by something inside my head! It drops me onto the rooftop! Where Frank and I land unceremoniously with a thud. I'm seeing stars inside my head. Even so I've successfully hauled Frank up to a rooftop. He is cut badly. Really bad. I hope he can make it.
 
George uses his flight suit to follow us up. Something is in my head. Telling me what to think. Compels me to fly off and never come back to Clarksville TN. I don't need to be told twice. I want to be here about as much as they want me to stay. The Agency is informed we're extracting and to be ready for casualties. No way to sugar coat this or to paint it as anything but a total loss and worse if Frank doesn't pull through.
 
One thing is for sure these Leaders of the free energy resistance are for real. They may think I'm some sort of monster. But to me they are every bit the boogeyman! A nameless faceless horror who can't be reasoned with. If they can't get what they want want nothing but to see the world burn.
