The Nonsuch has killed
95% of our fellow human beings,
but this is still our world.
We will claim it back.
This is your chance to serve mankind in our darkest hour.
We will fight for our future. Your future.
The people of the United National

You are the final line of defense.
The future of humanity depends on you.
For the first time in human history,
mankind stands together as one.
Do not let our enemy prevail.

But then I have to go outside, sir.
Don't worry about that.
Concentrate on your duties, soldier.
Private sum1 out.
Attention, please.
The United National Unions advise you
to leave the surface immediately.
Resistance to the Nonsuch is futile.

Incident dispatch.
A sudden attack by the Nonsuch
has been reported near the outpost lalops.
Despite adequate warning,
stragglers failed to reach Exilium.
There were no survivors.
System check engaged.
All defense circles are intact.
This line should only be opened for emergencies.
But this is an emergency. I might have seen a Nonsuch.
There are no Nonsuch within your area.
- But is the DC intact? - The defense circle is intact.
Roger that.
Don't worry, soldier. Base out.
What?
Okay.
Eat.
That's all there is.
Eat.
Camera d malfunction.
Toxic emission alarm.
Did you receive my report, sir, about the birds?
Yes, private.
Could that have been the Nonsuch?
The nonesuch don't kill birds. They kill us.
Perhaps some strange straggler's ritual.
I also found an ID tag.
It was hanging with one of the dead birds
nailed to the trees.
It says "vax7."
Is this the soldier I replaced, sir?
Positive.
Why was he evacuated?
He became ill and waited for us in the bunker.
He's back now safe and sound.
Private, we need you to focus on your mission
and watch out for the Nonsuch.
- That's what I'm doing, sir. - Don't worry, soldier.
- Roger, I won't, sir. - Stay alert.
Requesting current safety bunker code, sir.
Code transferred.
Copy. Sum1 out.
Don't worry. I won't report you.
This will be our secret.
This is a hazard warning
issued by the United National Unions.
Do not remain on the surface.
All resistance to the Nonsuch is futile.
Report to the nearest Exilium entry point,
where you will receive further assistance.
Be vigilant.
Toxic emission alarm.
I'm private sum1, unu force!
Identify yourself!
Identify yourself or I will open fire!
Sir, I saw something in the woods today.
Some kind of... figure.
I couldn't get a clear visual because of the toxic emissions.
We understand your concern, private,
but as long as the DC does not indicate
intrusion by the Nonsuch, we must assume
that what you saw was some kind of an animal.
Don't worry, soldier.
Access denied.
Don't gimme that look, Doc.
I'm just making sure he gets his stuff back when I leave.
Shit.
Must be ancient.
Look at this. You were his mate, too.
If only you could talk.
Must be our neighbor.
Attention.

Hello?
Show yourself!
I'm armed!
I'm sorry.
This outpost Cerberus private sum1, do you copy?
Copy, private.
Report complete power failure for at least 156 minutes.
Is all power back up now?
Yes, it seems to be.
But there was something in my tower.
That's impossible.
Sir, the power was out long enough for the Nonsuch
to reach the defense circle.
The DC has an independent power supply.
That's reassuring.
We'll dispatch a Mac immediately
to carry out a complete inspection of your system.
What is the power goes down before the Mac arrives?
Private, we do everything in our power
to support you and your mission?
Then why is nothing working?
We know guarding the front line is a tough job.
You're not kidding.
You only have 40 days left.
You must stay focused and alert.
Remain vigilant. Do I make myself clear?
- Yes, sir. - We're counting on you, private.
Your mission means everyone's survival, base out.

You look after me, don't you, Doc?
This is ker4. Do you copy?
Ker4 for vax7. Do you copy?
This is vax7 for ker4. Copy, over.
Haven't heard from you in a while.
I was worried about you. Do you send me the Morse code?
You are not vax7. Identify yourself.
I am sum1 of outpost Cerberus. I sent you the Morse code.
It's great to hear you...
To talk to a real person.
Where's vax7?
You were in touch?
Where is he?
He was evacuated. Some health issues.
You knew him? What was he like?
What happened to him?
Our communication is strictly forbidden.
But you talked to him. W-why--
I found his-- his stuff, his drawings.
Talk to me. Please.
At least we're not alone anymore.
You love that stuff, don't you?
You said the Mac would come immediately.
It's been days.
It's not easy to organize a safe passage for the Mac.
Surely you heard about the attack at lalops.
No point in sending you a dead Mac, is there, soldier?
Don't worry, you only have 35 days left.
Hang in there, soldier. The Mac is on his way.
Copy. That's what I'm doing, sir.
Code transferred. Base out.
They told me not to worry. Again.
I don't trust them, Doc.
I know.
Shit.
I'm private sum1 unu force!
Identify yourself! I am armed!
It's okay.
I'm here to help.
You must seek shelter immediately.
The next entry point of the Exilium
is 16 kilometers away.
The Nonsuch can't touch you there.
Please, let us go!
You are in great danger.
The Nonsuch could attack at any moment.
If you come with me, I'll get you and the child to safety.
No!
Wait!
Approaching defense circle border
do not leave your operational area.
You dropped this!
Attention, guards,
following the attack on outpost lalops,
a number of stragglers were detected on the surface.
They are in great danger and on the run.
If they enter your zone, your orders
are to make contact with them
and save them from the Nonsuch.
Looks like they don't want to be saved!
There are stragglers in your area.
You must convince them to leave the surface.
For the safety of Exilium.
Remember, our safety depends on your watchfulness.
When I sleep, I see children.
They're happy.
They laugh and jump.
Everything is warm and bright
I don't know where these images come from.
They're not like memories.
They're different.
Someone once told me that before the chaos,
people could do this in their sleep.
They called it dreaming.
They said that it was a special gift...
And that I shouldn't tell anybody
because they'd diagnose me as mentally disordered.
But I'm telling you this
because I know you'll keep my secrets, won't you, Doc?
I will take you somewhere better, I promise.
This is sum1. Do you copy? Do you copy?
If you can hear me, please answer me.
It's important.
This is sum1.
I need to speak to you.
This is sum1. Do you copy?
I can see you.
It's me.
Answer me.
Answer me!
Answer me!! Answer me!!
Won't answer me.
Toxic emission alarm.
Sum1 for ker4. Do you copy?
You don't wanna talk to me. But I want to talk to you.
I saw something in the woods today.
Something is out there.
I think the Nonsuch have penetrated the DC.
I think they got vax7.
You're good. You listen.
14 days, and then we're out of here, Doc.
It's safe there.
It's safe.
Shit.
Nice to meet you, too.
Could you please put away that fucking gun?
I'm 7q7, your Mac.
Now can I do my job?
Sorry, I-- I just--
I didn't think you'd show.
Whatever, you don't listen to the PR, do you?
Lalops was attacked.
Did you see it?
What was left of it.
And the casualties?
No, the ICI took care of them before I got there.
Before that, the Nonsuch took care of them.
So there wasn't much left to take care of.
Shit.
Again, that smell of rat piss.
Hi, king. Good to see you again.
- You've been here before. - Okay, let's see.
DNA decoded.
Welcome, 7q7
system check engaged.
- What do we got here? - Power is unstable.
And monitors for the DC cam just dropped out.
- That's not mine. - I know.
It's from the bastard who was here before you.
- He asked to do my portrait. - What was he like?
That guy was friends with a rat.
What else do you know about him?
I just told you. He was friends with a rat.
What else is there to say?
He was...
- Kind of unstable. - Can you access his data?
That's not allowed and you know it.
I want to show you something.
There. What's that?
That spooky shadow?
It's you, blade man. It's a glitch.
The faulty overlap of a previous image.
You thought it was the Nonsuch, didn't you, soldier?
Have you seen one? What do they look like?
Let's take a look at the monitors.
They are all intact.
That means all cams at the DC are down.
They can't be. I just recharged them.
That's your business.
No go to that and tell me if the circuits react.
Circuit a?
- Affirmative. - Circuit B?
Affirmative.
Circuit c.
Affirmative.
Doc!
Ah, again with the rat.
Man, you are as fucked up as the last bloke.
Please don't do this to me. Please, Doc, hey.
Please don't, don't do this to me.
A Doc, that's exactly what you need, my friend.
I promise I'll take you with me. I won't leave you hear alone.
Thank you.
Try mouth-to-mouth. That usually does the trick.
Shut the fuck up.
What did you say?
- Are you crazy? - Sit down.
- Cool down, partner. - Sit down.
Tell them you have to turn off the internal cam
- to do the diagnosis. - Listen, soldier, I told you--
Do it.
I have to shut down cam d to run a full diagnosis.
Now I want you to bypass the system.
I want to show me the internal-cam data
- from before I got here. - Listen, soldier, I told you I can't do that.
- I don't know how. - Then you'd better figure it out fast.
You don't have the guts.
I knew it.
That's felt good.
That felt even better.
Now apologize to him before I really get on a roll.
- What? - You heard.
Sorry.
Look at him. His name is Doc.
I'm sorry, Doc. Es tut Mir Leid.
Good. Now access the fucking data.
Whoa, whoa!
Come on, man, I need these to work.
Stop fucking aiming your gun at me.
You want the data, I gotta concentrate.
And that thing makes me nervous.
Just hurry up.
That's it. The best I can do.
What do you mean?
I bypassed the first firewall,
but to access this, we need to know
the personal access code of a guard.
- All right, my code is-- - No, not yours.
The second firewall can only be deactivated
by a second soldier's access code.
This is a leftover from when we could have fought
six guards on each tower.
That's all I can do unless you have
another soldier's personal access code.
Hey, man, I swear, without that code,
I can't do it.
I don't give a shit whether or not
- you see this fucking data. - Get up.
All right.
Doc is bleeding!
You want to know what they look like?
They not like us or anything else you have ever seen.
I got this little souvenir from them.
I was in the legion.
I must have been around your age.
Back then, we were stupid enough to think we could win this war.
Our helicopter crashed in the desert.
In the middle of fucking nowhere.
Everyone was killed except me and this little guy, Santino.
We had names back then, not just numbers.
We survived the crash.
We were cut off from all commUnication,
and I thought he would die out there.
I knew we both would.
Mind? If I have a smoke?
I bandaged his leg and set out on my own in search of help.
On my way back, I found Santino, both his ears cut off.
And he just looked at me.
Before that, I didn't know what fear was.
I didn't need to see the Nonsuch for myself.
I saw them in his eyes.
But I did see them later when the fucking sandstorm hit.
There were shadows out there in the storm,
big, fast, circling around us.
Santino was already completely nuts.
He tried to get away, but they tossed him around
like an ant in a tornado.
Then I understood.
It wasn't the storm that got him.
My ears started to bleed.
Their screams make your ears bleed
even before you can hear them, but when you do,
their screaming is nothing but pure pain.
That's why Santino cut off his own ears.
When they found me, my lungs were full of sand,
and my larynx was
now you know how I got this little souvenir, soldier.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
If your plan with the access code doesn't work...
This... will be your grave.
0700 hours, this is outpost Cerberus,
private sum1 reporting.
No special... incidents.
Are you all right, private?
I'm fine.
I was just doing some sit-ups to keep in shape.
Did the Mac fix the system?
Yes.
The Mac fixed the system.
You were right. He was delayed by the attacks.
Roger, private. Hang in there, soldier.
Roger. Sum1 out.
Sum1 here.
This is ker4.
Access granted.
Accessing files private vax7.
Hi, sweetie, sweetie, sweetie.
Come on, come on.
This is private vax7.
I'm very tired. I don't know what to do.
They are not telling the truth. They lied to us.
He just lost it.
What do you mean? Tell me what happened.
This place, the fear...
They drill it into us, day in, day out.
It drove him nuts.
What are you talking about?
What if the Nonsuch don't exist?
You can't be serious. They just attacked lalops.
How do you know? Were you there?
Have you ever actually seen a Nonsuch with your own eyes?
If I had, I'd probably be dead.
Yeah, yeah, that's what they say.
What if they're gone?
Gone a long time ago,
or what if they never existed to begin with?
Staring at trees. That's all we do.
But why? Why would they set this all up?
They invented the Nonsuch to force us all down into Exilium.
- Why? - With nature poisoned
and resources running out,
there was no longer enough for all of us,
but for a few privileged classes,
it could last forever.
That's why they want us to send the stragglers underground.
That's why they want to force us
beneath the surface of the earth.
No, it's all in your mind.
Says who, you?
Listen, sum1, this is my second tour.
I'm at 200 days now,
so you finish your 100 days, and then you go home.
Home?
What's home?
Rotting underground?
It's safer than being up here.
I met a straggler woman with a child.
She wasn't afraid of the Nonsuch.
She was afraid of me.
What about all the casualties, all the bodies?
No, they always say that they're all mutilated
beyond recognition.
What if they're just killing innocent people
and dumping their bodies like trash?
No, this is madness.
Like the madness that got vax7.
Vax7 was a very unstable guy.
Think.
Can you prove me wrong?
I tried to help, but I failed.
What's that song?
It's a very old nursery rhyme. Vax7 liked it.
It called him down.
I don't like it.
Attention, guards.
The Nonsuch have advanced to the northern border.
You are ordered to maintain maximum...
Shut up!
Repeat-- You are ordered
to maintain maximum vigilance.
Our future depends on your vigilance.
Our lives are in your hands.
Shut the fuck up! Shut--
Maintain maximum vigilance.
You don't scare us anymore!
Right, Doc?
Doc?
No. No.
Finally.
I did everything I could, I swear.
The Nonsuch.
You fought them, and you survived.
In fact, you were the only survivor.
Funny, that, isn't it?
Does this look funny to you, asshole?
Yeah, that was a great story.
I bet you told that vax7, too, didn't you?
Well, let me tell you a story.
I just killed vax7. You fed him the lies.
And he ate them up. You drove him nuts.
That's the big plan, isn't it?
- There is no big plan. - Poison us with fear.
Spread fear among any stragglers
to force them down into our wonderful Exilium.
But you don't fool me.
I don't believe your stories anymore.
Believe what you like.
If you don't want to go back to Exilium, no problem.
I'll tell them that and you can go find
your own little sanctuary, okay?
You think I'm going to trust you?
I don't give a flying fuck about you and Exilium
or anything else but I have a wife
and a boy down there, and they are my future.
Good.
That means you have something to lose.
I don't.
Now tell me where I can find the DC power supply.
You're fucking kidding me, right?!
You want to see them again?
I'm going to put an end to all of this madness
once and for all... Set us all free.
You will get us all killed!
No.
I won't.
And you know it.
No more lies.
Ker4, do you copy?
This is ker4, copy.
I'm coming to see you.
What are you talking about?
I know how to disable the defense system.
What? How did you--
The Mac.
It's time to end the madness.
What madness? There's no madness.
The madness that killed vax7.
Vax7 is dead?
The madness that keeps us underground,
the madness of the Nonsuch.
Okay, sum1, I'll be waiting for you.
We're gonna sort this out together. Okay?
All barriers will fall.
The truth will out.
We will be free.
Wake up, soldier.
You're on duty.
Six days of active service remaining.
You're free to go.
Scheisse.
