Narrative Primer: Premise: You’ve been assigned a top-secret mission that is extremely critical to your nation’s war efforts. Mission Briefing: Strange energy transmissions have been discovered deep behind enemy lines and your job is to find out what it is and capture/destroy it if at all possible. Your nation’s scientists are convinced it is a super weapon that has the potential to destroy the world. The enemy cannot be afforded such a luxury. Mission Actual: Soon after securing entry behind enemy lines, a massive energy pulse washes over you and your troops and the world spins around you. Upon recovering you press onward, cresting the nearby ridge to behold an unbelievable site before you, pre-WW1 troops firing at and running away from a very large hulking mechanical monstrosity displaced from time. As you and your squad bypass the conflict and continue towards your objective, you are joined up with other elements from your nation, displaced from their own periods of history willing to help. New Mission Directive: Capture or destroy the source of the enemy energy transmission / pulse with whatever resources you can muster along the way to your destination. The fate of the world itself rests upon you. Task Force Creation/Upgrade – Quick Summary Guide!
