After many years of war,
the Emperor signed the Thin Ice Treaty and the war between the Empire
and the Republic of Frost had finally ended. Three years have passed and
the effort to clean up and rebuild after the war continues. During the
war, Corporal Randel Oland was part of the 901 ATT (Anti-Tank Troopers),
which was one of the Invisible 9 groups. Now, he has joined the Imperial
Army State Section III, aka Pumpkin Scissors to help with war
reconstruction.
Viscount Wolkins's tank
is discovered to be from the Republic of Frost and has some advancements
that the Empire doesn't have. The tank has a cannon automatic loading
system and the Empire would like to know how it works. They take the
blueprints to Professor Colt, a man's whose research and development has
given him the title Great Father of Tanks. While they are visiting the
professor, Machs notices a picture on the wall of the gun that Randel
uses. It is an A-T 13mm D.K., otherwise known as the Door Knocker, thus
called because you have to be knocking on the door of a tank for it to
penetrate the steel. When the group returns to headquarters to dismantle
the tank, they are attacked and the tank is ruined.
After getting
injured in the battle over the tank, Randel ends in the infirmary. The
man in the bed next to him has been having some stomach problems.
Meanwhile, Mercs has been doing some investigating about 901 ATT, but he
is finding little information. He isn't sure whether he can fully trust
Randel and wants to know about his past. When the man disappears from
his bed, Randel hears that there is a jumper on the roof. Even though he
is injured, Radel knows he cannot let this man die. Muze Caplan, Head of
the Caplan Institute's Medical Research Department appears at
headquarters to do some research on the Invisible Nine.
908 HTT is
living in the sewers (also known as the Waterworks) and has been burning
people alive with his flamethrower. The homeless have moved down into
the sewers because they have nowhere else to live. When Pumpkin Scissors
is sent down into the Waterworks to move the homeless to a new farm,
they find some employees of Albert Myon, director of the Waterworks,
selling drugs to the residents.
Because Pumpkin Scissors keeps arresting
his employees for selling drugs, Albert Myon decides to do something
about it. He give all of his employees new rifles and sends, Hans, the
man in the 908 HTT suit, to go and kill Pumpkin Scissors.
