"Special operations, before you ask. That’s what our purpose was. Oh, forgive me, where are my manners. You cannot know my real name, for now you can call me Talos. You may be wondering why I am here, and your curiosity is not unjustified, why would an ex-military be at all interested in the petty ebb and flow of criminal and hero affairs? Why would the likes of you want to know?

I shall not hold back from telling you, who am I to deny you valuable information?

There is a lot going on behind this veil of crime that you call everyday life, things kept from you, things you are not being told, for example the war effort. You didn't even know there was a war going on, did you? Let me fill you in on the details. There is life out there, powerful and terrifying life forms that would tear Earth to shreds should they ever set foot on our home, Demons, Aliens, hostile armies of bizarre creatures. For years we had kept the streets of Earth free of these abominations, hell-bent on war.

Who is "we"? So many questions, let me take my time, I have some to spare.

"We" were the 747 Encelidus Praetorian. "We" were the Elitist of the Elite. And no, You have not heard of us. That means we did our job.

On a hundred different worlds we did what we had perfected with so many victories, like shadows, we silenced armies, armadas, and demonic champions, without a trace left behind, silently, quickly. Like ghosts, we simply did not exist.

Are you interested now? Good, because I can tell you that in the end, we failed. One faulty link in the chain and all collapses around you.

This sounds like a cliché tragedy, but all members of the 747 were killed, albeit me, and the Aries was lost to the vast jaws of space. The abominations are here, walking among us as we speak. You had better be glad that I survived that final assault. You are going to need me if you have any hope of survival,"

 

"It is a simple as that. I am here to dispose of the abominations. Countless hundreds have seamlessly blended into Earth's population, biding their time. Waiting to strike.

I care not for the petty war that rages between good and evil here in the streets, all of you are threatened by beings far beyond what you can easily imagine, and you carry on with your day to day fighting, unaware of your lingering doom.

I give you a choice, friend. Leave. Now. Get away from me and get as far from this place as you possibly can. I am not here to harm you.

...However, should you, or any of your brethren stand in my way, I shall not hesitate to dispose of you too. You have been warned,"

 

Gauss Weaponry

     Concussive Weapon: superior (rank 2)

  • Ranged Attack
  • Multi-Attack

 

"So, you are still here. Maybe our friendship will be short lived.

Would you like to know what makes me so dangerous?

Good, let us start with the basics.

Gauss weaponry, Pistols, to be precise. Dual gauss pistols. Have you ever heard of Gauss? It is the most dangerous form of weaponry humanity has ever developed. The idea is that a projectile, usually weighing several pounds is fired at a speed, ninety nine point nine nine percent of the speed of light. Have I put you off yet?

I will give you the choice again: Leave. Now. You are not worth the ammunition.

You are a stubborn one. Maybe I should tell you the effect that gauss has on living tissue? Complete decimation. Your bones will be shattered upon impact, your body will likely be torn in half by the force, your blood will burst from your body. It is not a desirable way to go for any being. I Do not suggest trying my patience.

The 747 have fought beasts larger than trucks, with hides thicker than steel, and through experience I have learned this:

A single Gauss shot to the head is fatal, to any and all beings.

Fact."

 

Veteran of War

     Marksman: standard (rank 1)

 

"You have a death wish, bravery is a good attribute, but you need to learn when to turn the other cheek. You delve into territory you do not want to set foot in.

Do you think that you can outrun my trigger finger? Perhaps you hope that my eye isn't as sharp as an eagles. You think that I will miss?

Practise is perfection my friend. I have had plenty. Do you want to take your chances?"

 

Special Operations

     Invisibility: superior (rank 2)

 

"Photophobic nano-fibre cloaking. It can take more than raw power alone to win a fight. This cloak I am wearing is not simply for cosmetic purposes. Don't make the mistake thinking that it is.

You see, the work we did, the environments we had to endure demanded certain technologies to be put into play. In some ways, this is what made us so feared among the small few who even know of our existence. I can vanish into thin air, I can become nothing, and you will become an easy target.

Be warned, if you ever loose sight of me, You are already as good as dead."

 

More Than Soldiers

     Acrobat: standard (rank 1)

 

"All this said, equipment is not everything, skill is required, decades of brutal training are required, we had the determination of lions. This is the what made us who we were, the beating heart of the 747, it is why we were more than just regular soldiers, it was what made us Elite, it is what separated us from the countless goons who wage tireless wars on the basis of money and power.

To go to the heart of a demonic world and fight your way out through blood and steel requires a courage that few can muster, the ability to use every resource, and our own bodies as an advantage is a skill few will learn. To be part of the 747...Few will be.

Now you know me, why I am here, what my intentions are. I have no quarrel with you, provided you have no quarrel with me. I am here to protect those worth saving. Are you worth saving, or are you just another target?

This is your last chance. You do not want to be my target. That too, is fact."
