14th of Libran. Khaistan Continent. 10:00 of morning
3 groups of Surveyors are tasked with a special work. To find and map the areas of Natural Resources. Problem however, was it's full of Hostile Wildlife and Dangerous Creatures. Which explained why they have Military Escort. To make things easy, their Escort went ahead first to check if it clear and in case were not, they have to root it out first. It was a dirty work indeed. But no one complained. But why Lolilandia went on this? It was revealed that 2 months ago, CAP countries wanted to milk out the Hidden riches of the Khaistan Continent. An opportunity born accidentally. As it was later discovered the Alliance wants to buy more Coal and Oil from Lolilandia, however the latter can't supplied due to, while the production were high, didn't do enough to satisfy its Allies' needs. Until Lolilandic Energy Minister jokingly said "Why not dig some at the Enemy's land" and everyone took it very seriously during the Monthly Conference, which usually held in Black Maple Palace in Southern Elflandia, now serving as Official Headquarters of the Cinnamonian Alliance Pact. And so here they are. The surveyors are from all CAP Countries. Surprisingly, few Regiments of CAFCAP Troops were present at the Orders of Lolilandia for "certain reasons" and such.
Elf Surveyor: Hey girls. Check this out.
Fairy Surveyor: Black Liquid? *sniffs* its an Oil. Good finding.
Elf Surveyor: Thanks. *Scribbling noise*
The Surveyors write down their findings. Others use their digipods to mark the location, which the Satellite they'll link to for mapping. Meanwhile.
Akane: Are we Comrades clear?
?: Yeah. Man. That Giant Bullfrog was hard to kill.
?: Not to mention they have a lot of strange birds attacking us too. Luckily we're inside our APC's.
Akane: This is the craziest Mission I ever have. Even with the Assault Rifles and such that y'all using.
?: Yeah. But thanks to you we survive.
?: Just wondering. How a Dryad like you ended up as a Lolilandic Soldier, Miss Akane?
?: Long story. Just ask my CO or anyone from LPA if you like. They have info about my background.
?: Ah I see.
?: Hopefully there are more Dryads in the Future though. I heard they were the best healers in the Ancient era, specially in Lolilandia whom the eldest Dryad tried to use her healing Magic after doing a very risky surgery.
Akane: Ah. That was Master Surgeon Lila Chernova. A legend. Anyway. Let's help our surveyor friends. So if you happen to found a cave or a trail of Oil on ground, or anything don't be shy to inform me. Got it.
?: Yes Comrade Lieutenant.
Few minutes later, 2 Elflandic CAFCAP Troops found not just one, but two spots containing Oil. Others found a cave.
Akane: A cave huh. Prepare the Sleeping Gas and NVG's. We're going in.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
?: Yes, Comrade Lieutenant.
And so they went in to the cave, with NVG's on and covered in Sleeping gas. Akane's orders were smart move, as it revealed the caves were full of Goblins that went hiding. It is unknown how they survive, but they suspect they were exposed to Radiation from Nuclear Fallout, when Vice-Premier Charlene Higgins orders "Nuclear Test" on the Khaistan Imperial lands. Unfortunately, the Goblins will have to put down. Not out of anger, but for its potential threat to workers extracting whatever Minerals the cave have. After clearing the cave, they indeed stumble on the Jackpot. The cave contains Large amounts of Diamonds, Emeralds and other precious Minerals. They also have Tungsten, Iron among others. They leave the cave to inform the surveyors their findings with Digipods.
Akane: Escort to Searcher One. We found a cave full of Minerals. The cave is clear from hostiles, and we're cleaning it right now.
Orentsian Surveyor: Copy. Thanks for the help, Girls.
Akane: Much appreciated. How do you do?
Orentsian Surveyor: We found lots of Oils, and several carriors to eat the Giant Monsters your Comrades from Other Regiments killed. Say. What Giant Monster is there, Over?
Akane: Giant Bullfrog. Neutralized. And several Cave Goblins too. Also neutralized.
Orentsian Surveyor: Sounds like you found them accidentally but get rid of them anyways.
Akane: True. Marking the cave on Digipods now. We'll wait. Out.
The Satellite system also get the Marking of the Cave Akane and her Comrades found. While the task was solely given to the Surveyors only, Military Escorts were allowed to assist to "accelerate and reduce hazards" of the Mission, specially from potential hostile creatures. The surveyors went to the cave were Akane and her Comrades waiting, whom they found stacking Goblin corpses to dispose at the Sea water later. Went in to confirm the Minerals and was pleased. The cave indeed had a lot of Diamonds. Akane then orders her Troops to leave to "scout more" spots for resource mapping. The continent was so huge they expect it will took a month to complete it. As they have to check every nook and cranny of the Khaistan Continent for resources, and clear out from whatever hostile creatures they found. By the time the night comes. Akane was ordered by Command to join a Surveyor Group C. Which revealed the same group they help earlier in the cave.
Preset Camping site. 06:30 of evening
Akane: Oh. It's you folks.
Orentsian Surveyor: Hello there, Lieutenant. How's the scouting.
Akane: Progressively gone boring. Thank goodess.
Orentsian Surveyor: Why?
Akane: Because we don't need to spend much ammo. We're at risk of drying them out.
Orentsian Surveyor: I see. That sucks.
Akane: Yeah but had to get it done.
Orentsian Surveyor: Oh. I'm Yuuka Hitogashi. *shakes hand*
Akane: Akane Takayama from LPNIF.
Yuuka: LPNIF? Dang. No wonder why your scouting gone "boring" *smugly laugh*
Akane: W..what do you mean, Yuuka? *confused look*
Yuuka: No one messes with the Naval Infantry of the LPA and gets away alive, you know.
Akane: How come. We're no elites.
Yuuka: The Public says otherwise, Akane-han.
Akane: Aw c'mon. They must be joking. Anyway what's your job, Yuuka?
Yuuka: I'm. A factory worker at Sakananoshi. A plant that produces body armor using Diamond-coated plating.
Akane: Oh. I see. But isn't it expensive to use diamonds for that?
Yuuka: Queen Elysia orders the use of Diamond for Military Production and banned anyone for having it for personal stuff 7 years ago.
Akane: Just like Lolilandia back at 06th NLC huh.
Yuuka: Eh? That long?
Akane: Yeah. Except they use Diamond as layer coating for Lolium plating.
Yuuka: That's insane.
Akane: Not much. They also mix it with Ceramic layer coat for Heavy variants. *grumbling noises* Aw c'mon.
Yuuka: Welp. I'm getting hungry as well. Let's eat.
Other Soldiers from Akane's Regiment, with some mix of Amazonian CAFCAP Troops were also chatting with the surveyors. Some were same topic with Akane and Yuuka, while others were just literally personal topics, their likes and etc. But a clump of 5 individuals were on different topic. They were talking about Idols, games, animated shows and other Media Culture. Akane and Yuuka choose to leave them alone since both were not into it. Akane assigns some of her Comrades to provide security, as it was for the Surveyors to have bath time, while she herself went to sleep. Night has passed and it was peaceful luckily.
Next day
Akane orders comrades to prepare, as they were to scout the area next. It was the far Southwest of the Continent. Akane was cautious as ever, since it was her actually first time to enter the continent. Add it to the fact that Airstrikes and Naval Artillery and Missile strikes were forbidden. As Defense-Minister Zhukova Orders to save it in Naval fights instead. But it didn't matter to her now. She firmly believe this Mission will be successful no matter what.
