Unit 74 Creative Writing Piece
New Order
Division Mission Brief <auto>
Date: 13th June 2013
Mission Type: Recon
Mission Brief: Reports of mutilated monsters
attacking farm animals and pets in the town of Saltaire, United Kingdom.
Potential Daemon sighting, Division squad Cypher of Garrison 7 deployed to
assess the area. Squads Delta and Ares on standby for emergency assist
Side Notes: One witness reports seeing several
monsters drag off prey into an area around Baildon Bridge, reliability of this
Intel is suspect, witness heavily inebriated, investigate at own discretion.
<End Brief>
'It
was a bitterly cold night, unusual for this time of year... normally that wouldn’t unnerve me, but when
dealing with these Daemons it's never a good sign. Our approach on the target
location was as silent and undetected as always, these new SH-A12 Reaver
stealth choppers really did the trick.
Deployment in and out of an area has never been easier or safer; the
Division has access to equipment I’ve never dreamt of.
As
safe as it was I could tell all the guys were unnerved, well all except for the
cleric I don’t think anything rattles them. But these guys were seasoned
veterans, the best of the best, but the things we had seen over the past 5
month... These things we’ve been fighting are a new breed of horror, for every
one of the bastards we take out more often than not we lose a whole squad. Only
2 of the squads in our entire garrison are still intact from their initial
formation the rest have been replaced and re-garrisoned a half dozen times at
least, that's 2 out of 3 dozen squads lost! But things have gotten better since
The Order came along.
It
is a little weird though, having to forget most of everything we’ve ever been
taught about combat. Daemons don’t show any mercy, no leniency and have no
interest in prisoners. They'll rip through one of their own to get to their
prey, so we have to make every shot a lethal one, well as much as we can
against these things, you see sometimes they don’t have hearts… or heads for
that matter it makes quick kills almost impossible. The tactics the order has
shown us though, they’re weird... but effective; Prayers with our guns,
engraving sigils and symbols that have long since lost their meaning to the
world onto our bullets and blades, drinking holy water to ward off possession.
It’s some weird shit, but as I said... it works.'
"We're
on final approach" we hear the pilot come in over the ear pieces
"Dropping in 20"
On
that note the colonel Barron stands up steadying herself with one of the
storage nets behind the pilot’s seat. "Alright men, we’ve had reports of
as many as a dozen daemons in the area, so far they've kept their hunting only
to cattle and domestic animals which suggest they’re nesting. Our mission is to
assess the area, check the accuracy of the Intel and wipe these out these sons
of bitches! We cannot allow them to gain a permanent beachhead up here, squads
Delta and Ares are standing by to assist if neces..."
"Were
at target location Colonel"
"Alright
men, you know what to do, suit up! Let’s get it done." Finishing her
speech we all finish getting ready; checking our comms with a tap to hear the
faint buzz of feedback and synching our HUD's with our guns and other systems.
The blue displays in our helmets light up, blue triangles light above my squad
mates.
I
slowly begin to whisper off my systems check list, "Ammo count...check,
comms signal… check, mission beacons... check and gps-map... check"
"Russ
you know you don’t have to read it out to us right?" Hudson’s comm. icon
flashes up on my HUD
"Piss
off Hudson, haven’t you got a kitchen to get back to" I carry on with the
banter before we're cut off by Barron.
"Hudson,
Russ cut the chatter!" Colonel Barron’s icon flashes up and the joking
stops, time to get serious.
Just as the Reaver steadies itself over the flood plains near
Salts Mill all the men have a final look over their guns.
Within
the next few seconds the Reaver had steadied, the loading ramp lowered, and the
troops began to make their exit.
Sgt. Nikola and Lt. Russell took point, heading off the loading
ramp and taking up defensive positions flanking the chopper. The Cleric,
Colonel and TAG were the next to make their exit, Tesla and Russ took point
leading the squad to the tree line, the rest of the squad followed behind with
Hudson bringing up the rear… so far so good
At the tree line the Colonel gave us the game plan “Alright, the
bridge from the eye witness report is just a half mile down the road, Padre!
You lead Hudson, Russ and Chief to the bridge and see if you can see anything
unusual, recon only. You are NOT! To engage unless absolutely necessary I don’t
want to be losing any men today, understood?”
All the men uttered the standard yes sir in unison and we moved
out, the Colonel, Tag and Tesla headed further into the town to see if they
could find any clue as to what had been going on here.
The trip into the town was relatively uneventful but the tensions
were a little high, all these old buildings gave the Daemons brilliant vantage
points and the darkness was perfect for concealing an ambush. Their goal was to
make it into the main area of the village and see if they can witness daemon
hunting, a simple enough task… as long as it’s the one daemon.
They didn't have to wait long, as Tesla quickly spotted a shadow moving
fast in the darkness, “Sir! Daemon at 3 O’clock” he piped up in an alarmed
whisper.
“Did you get a good look at it?”
“No sir, but from the size and speed, I’d guess Acheri demon”
“Damn it.. Alright Tes, you go and circle round and watch it from
the top of the street. But stay hidden!”
“Sir!” With that Nikola skulked off into the shadows
“Tag, me and you will watch from this side, you take the high
ground, from… up there!” The she looked to where the colonel was pointing to
see the fire escape of one of the local college buildings.
“Affirmative” As the Tag took her position on her new perch, the
colonel watched the daemon from the shadows of the building she was stood next
to.
“Your move demon….”
For the next 10 minutes the now confirmed Acheri demon was looking
in and over the gardens of the surrounding terraces, if it wasn’t they’d have
been spotted by now, Acheri only hunt by sight, meaning the 3 soldiers didn’t
have to be too quiet.
Just then the demon appeared to have found its next victim, a
large cat playing with a mouse by the looks of it, it began to move in, its
teeth bared and fully poised to strike the cat when all of a sudden it stopped.
The daemon quickly lifted its head, swivelling it around like a dog or meerkat
detecting a threat
‘There’s no way it could have heard us…’ The colonel thought to
herself as the daemon shot off, scaling the house directly to its left and
heading towards the river. Just as she was beginning to piece what had
happened together the colonel was interrupted
“We need assistance! This is Hudson to Colonel Barron, we've found
the nest!!
‘That explains the Acheri demon’
“We've got incoming hostiles at least 2 dozen daemons, Acheri,
Arrah and hell hounds!! I repeat WE NEED ASSISTANCE!!!”
“You heard the lady, MOVE OUT! Tag get on then horn tell HQ we
need Delta and Ares on scene immediately!”
And the scene wasn’t pretty, in the opening attack 3 hell hounds
had ripped into the chief, he was losing blood fast.
A hail of gun fire was launched into the horde of daemons
attacking their position 3 of the Acheri were cut down to size fairly quickly,
the hell hounds however were deadly bastards, too quick on their feet, there’s
no chance of an accurate hit on then. One of the bastards was heading towards Russ
full pelt and launched itself at him, jaw poised to grab his throat
“duratus locali!!” The padre yelled out one of his spells
“duratus locali!!” The padre yelled out one of his spells
A flash of pale blue light enveloped the daemons as it slowed down
painfully so in mid-air, Russ raised his P90 and fired a hail of bullets into
the hell hounds face, a spattering of bone, blood and hair splashed cross his
helmet and armour.
The others were quickly dispatched before the spell wore off. Just
as Cypher squad were about to relax, they heard the growls and guttural barks
of more hell hounds, they looked around to locate the oncoming enemy and to his
left, Russ saw the pack. The oncoming Storm….

Unit 74 Professional Example
Halo: Fall of Reach
I decided I was going to make my creative writing piece a Linear story for the most part, flowing from beginning to end in a straight line but with elements of a multi-strand narrative thrown in. As at one point in the story the perspective changes from Russels view point to the view point of Colonel Barron. But the whole story all in all is set out as a recounting of events based on the after action report of the two characters. I got the idea from the Book Halo: The Fall of Reach, as this book gives a good example of military reports, as well as the tactics and actions of the soldiers.
This is an example of the writing style i wished to emulate in my story.
"The Master Chief pushed away and fired the pistol again. The bolt of fire caught the Elite in the face.
It writhed and clawed at nothing. The Elite shuddered . . . suspended in midair; it twitched and finally
stopped moving.
The Master Chief shot it again to make sure it was dead.
Motion sensors picked up multiple targets approaching down the corridor—forty meters and closing.
The Master Chief turned and double-timed it back to Blue-One.
Linda was where he left her, shooting her targets with absolute concentration and precision.
“There are more on the way,” he told her.
“Reinforcements have already arrived in the bay,” she reported. “Twenty, at least. They’re learning,
overlapping their shields—can’t get a good shot in.”
Static crackled over the Master Chief’s COM channel:“Master Chief, this is Captain Keyes. Did you get
the NAV database?” The Captain sounded out of breath.
“Negative, sir. We’re close.”
“We’re bound in-system to retrieve you. ETA is five minutes. Destroy theCircumference’s database and
get out ASAP. If you cannot accomplish your mission . . . I’ll have to take out the station with thePillar of
Autumn’s weapons. We are running out of time.”
“Understood, sir.”
The channel snapped off.
Captain Keyes was wrong. They weren’t running out of time . . . time had already run out."
I decided this book was a good piece to emulate as it is a military science fiction piece, with harsh language violence and contains and successfully portrays realistic (for a sci-fi) military life in a war against insurmountable odds. This is something i wanted to try and convey in my narrative.

Unit 74 Final Story Concept
I decided to settle on a combination of the 2 different horror concepts. Combining elements from both of the story such as the overall theme involving demons from the second story concept with the idea of having the order as the one of the protagonist organisations.
New Concept Back story
December 21st 2012, according to the Mayan calender the end of times. As far as most of the world is aware the day passed without much event. However the heads of select governments around the globe know different. On December 21st 2012 at 3:30am one of the Knights of hell, Abaddon was released from his confines in hell, and with his rise all the daemons in hell rose with him.
To combat this new threat these governments combined their most skilled soldiers and scientists into The Division, a secretive and elite organisation designed specifically to fight and win a secret war with the soldiers of hell. At first they were fighting a losing war, for every daemon that The Divisions troops killed Abaddon's forces wiped out entire Squads of men, this continued for 5 months until a month ago when the division were joined by a new ally, The Order. A secret order of the Vatican, The Order were created to function as the combat arm of the Catholic Church, to find, root out and destroy any of the inhabitants of hell.
Now with Abaddon looking to release his fellow knights from their prisons and plunge the world into a new level of hell, it is the Divisions last chance to stop him and his daemonic hords. Together with their new Order allies they seek an ancient book, which tells of how to release the one thing that can effectively fight and re-imprison the daemons.... The Angels.
Organisations
The Division
Formed at the behest of the Brazilian President. the Division is made up of soldiers, preists and scientists from over 36 countries with one common purpose. To defend the human world from the supernatural evil of the world and stop Abaddon from rising the other hell knights and plunging the world into a new dark age.
The Order
The Order is a secretive arm of the catholic church created by the Vatican in order to battle the Vampire menace in the 18th century. They defeated the vampires but now have a new mission in stopping the daemons from turning the earth into their own personnel home away from hell.
Angels
The angels are an ancient race of being as old as the earth itself, possibly older still. they are the ones whom originally imprisoned the Hell Knights in their cages and sealed the doors to hell. When their mission was done they decided to leave the earth and allow the humans of this world to develop and grow free of their influence.
Daemons
The daemons are a horrible mutation of human souls, they re the inhabitants of hell and find extreme pleasure in the torture and massacring of humans. They are currently being led by the Knight of Hell Abaddon whom was released from his cage on 21st December 2012 at 3:30 the witching hour by a coven of witches. He leads his daemonic armies with an iron fist, with the one goal of subjugating or killing all human life, releasing the other knights of hell and converting the earth into a new hell from which he can rule.
Hell Knights
The Hell Knights are a ruling cast among daemons and are worshiped as gods, they were created by the fallen angel Lucifer when he fell from heaven and began his war against the host of heaven and his aim to wipe out humanity. He created them by corrupting human souls and feeding them the souls of a fallen angel therefor consuming their grace, the source of an angels power. They are nigh invincible there only mach being the archangels themselves. Lucifer created 12 Hell Knights before his defeat, the first being Lilith the queen of hell. The others being; Abaddon, Abdiel, Azazel, Beherit, Carabia, Eblis, Legion, Mammon, Naphula, Phenex, Remiel.

SH-A12 Reaver Stealth Chopper
The Reaver is the ultimate advancement in modern avionics, being a combat stealth attack chopper that can also serve the dual function of a dropship, with its stealth capabilities it can get Division operatives and squads into an are and out again without being seen or heard. the armaments of the Reaver also allow it to be uses as a close in support platform for operatives/squads fighting Daemons as its weapons are more than capable of cutting down even the most well armored Acheri demon with little effort.
Daemons:
Abaddon - One of the Knights of hell, he is the current ruler of the daemon hordes. He is as ruthless in his views against humanity as he is in his tactics in combat. The Hell Knights are an ancient race of Daemons created at the foundation of hell by Lucifer. There were 12 in all, the only 3 have been known to ever walk the earth; Lilith, Abaddon & Abdiel. Upon his release from hell at the beginning of the war he proceeded to bring the coven whom rose him into his inner circle, using their magic to cloak him from the eyes of the order and any other magical being whom he considers an enemy. He is a 10ft tall hate filled demonic killing machine covered in scales with 4 horns protruding from his skull, he has cloven feet and 3 fingers, 2 thumbs on each hand.
Acheri Demon - Are large Daemons about the size of a mini cooper and are the standard daemons encountered by Division forces. They have no sense of smell or sound but have keen eye sight, they share a hive mind mentality with other Acheri, when a number of them are together they become more effective at developing tactics as their field of vision increases each of them becomes aware of everything the others see, this ability allows them to overcome the inherent disadvantage of having a limited sense of smell or sound. They have pale mottled skin as tough as a rhino's hide and incredibly strong limbs and teeth that can be retracted and extended from their jaws to reach the size of a saber tooth tigers canines, even for a being of their size they are incredibly fast and can scale buildings with ease.
Medusa Demon - The Medusa daemon is a reptilian demon that looks relatively human from a distance however at closer distances their snake like appearance becomes more apparent, they possess night vision and infrared senses, they have talons on their claws which makes them exceptionally dangerous in hand to hand combat, The Medusa daemons appear to be entirely female they speak in a series of clicks and hisses, they are however capable of speaking many human languages.
Arrah Demon - The Arrah demon is a man sized demon with needle like teeth, it is slow moving and deliberate often keeping to the shadows, they mainly remain in the daemon nests gaurding it from intruders. When they find their prey they attack without warning they are extremely fast which makes up for their relatively weak strength. If they become outnumbered, cornered or enraged will enter a ballistic rage where they attack haphazardly without consideration of harming other daemons or themselves.
Hell Hound - Hell hounds are the cannon fodder of the daemon world, they are incredibly fast, vicious have large amount of razor sharp teeth keen senses and hunt in packs. They are often seen accompanying Acheri demon's in packs.
