a man is called to the very middle of nowhere to investigate a strange occurrence water gets is much more than he bargained for now another fantastic tale from mr. outlaw for you this evening and whatever you think you might guess from the title I guarantee you have no idea where this story is going to take you so very special shout-out to all of you working the night shift I know how difficult it can be I did the job myself when I was younger and if this helps you get through your shift all the better now my difference you know what time it is how to sit back and relax with your favorite drink and listen [Music] well to make my introduction incredibly simple I used to work for the US government I say used to because I really don't know what's gonna happen to me now no I didn't have a glitzy office job or anything I was more of a field agent military if you will but not quite I'm not gonna go into the intricacies of which branch show specifically work for and what I did exactly that's irrelevant in all honesty you probably really wouldn't want to know well I doubt if you really want to know this I but I feel as if it's pertinent that this story gets out we're dealing with something that nobody here quite understands and we're the ones they're supposed to understand everything you see there's a drilling rig located somewhere in the Kalahari Desert you're not supposed to know about it in fact it's so deep in the middle of nowhere that nobody could feasibly stumble upon it hell I barely knew shit about it when I was first called upon for the mission the only information that I really had regarding the place was that the FBI had started an investigation into it back in June 2013 after discovering that some kind of anomalous event had occurred within the vicinity that's all I had going into this now here was the rundown of what we were told beyond that it was a hostage situation a few workers had gone crazy and were holding the other employees there at gunpoint they didn't list any explicit reason for this so the assumption was that they'd fallen victim to some kind of desert madness or at least this is what we were told anyhow our job was to go in there and defuse the situation we were supposed to try our best not to kill anybody the key word there was hmm no guarantees here now any old SWAT team probably could have handled a situation like this I mean we were essentially dealing with petroleum engineers not a trained militia however this place was so confidential that any non-essential personnel were to be absolutely barred from any knowledge that it existed suppose that we barely made the cut regarding those who were essential or not yeah in retrospect I should have asked more questions questions like why were they being so secretive about this place and why we needed 36 men to undertake what one small squadron would surely be capable of doing truth is after a while you stopped caring but that all changed this time this isn't something that you can just write off we flew out there in a fleet of three aircrafts split into 12 people each the only people that I'd recognized on mine were Klaus and Buchanan we'd worked with each other before every other face was a stranger to me but that didn't really matter too much all the matter was getting in finishing the job and getting out as fast as possible that's all that ever mattered the journey itself took quite a while but that was expected what I saw when we got there though well not so much the rig itself and the surrounding buildings weren't anything spectacular on the surface the part that made no sense to anybody was the fact that it was located on the edge of a huge-ass cliff Buchanan put it perfectly kind of defeats the purpose of a rig doesn't it when we landed it became apparent that the place actually extended down into the cliff via stairs ladders elevators and tunnels the entrance was essentially a small gated building that provided access to the first set of stairs the plan was to go like this since the place was too tight for 36 people to enter at once we were going to be split into three groups of 12 if the first group ran into trouble they'd send down the second if that failed then the last group would have to step in so ideally the second and third groups wouldn't even be necessary they were just there as a fail-safe of sorts I was part of the second now I'll be honest I wasn't really taking this whole thing too seriously at that point I mean we were dealing with some bad shit workers who presumably only had access to basic weaponry besides I was pretty sure that if the perpetrators got a bit too rowdy the first group would just end up wasting them possibly at the expense of a few innocents being injured in other words they weren't gonna need us evidently some of the guys in my squadron felt the same way Klaus even found a fridge with some beers in one of the surrounding cabins and we finished them off while our supervisors weren't looking but after about 2 hours of dicking around we were informed that we needed to head down most of us stood there in disbelief for a while the supervisors were forced to bark at us a couple of times in order to stir a reaction well we eventually complied I mean we had to however the implications of the fact that 12 trained men armed to the teeth couldn't finish the job was undoubtedly weighing down on us I mean we were pretty much Expendables going into an unknown situation suddenly I was glad that we'd had those few beers to keep our nerves in check as we got to the mouth of the entrance one of our supervisors I think his name was Richter swung open the large metal gate that was guarding the place we all poured into the structure and found ourselves standing in what appeared to be a reception area it was a small space with a few desks and filing cabinets along with a singular metal vault like barrier Richter walked up to it and entered a code into the panel beside it it opened up and we were suddenly faced with blackness we all flicked on our rifle lights and descended the steps from what I could tell there seemed to be light bulbs above but I guess they weren't working for whatever reason the steps themselves branched off quite a bit I'd estimate probably once every 50 meters however we never went anywhere but straight Richter just told us to keep going down after what might have been about 20 minutes we finally reached what appeared to be some kind of mixture between a lab in a control room there were monitors and scientific instruments set up in a relatively haphazard manner across the large rectangular space however there were lights here so I let my breathing and loosen it hmm I never really liked the dark too much Richter told us to be quiet as he moved towards a door near the back of the room almost as if he were listening intently for something however there was nothing to be heard it was sheer silence I could tell the Rich's expression had plummeted when he looked back at us he motioned us over towards the door and whispered keep your guard up with an extreme sensation of reservation filling the air around us we all just followed his orders ever so slowly he started opening the door no I should have expected what we were about to see I should have been expecting anything but I still couldn't stop myself from gagging a little I'd seen death before but not like this the entirety of the first team was lying there limp chaotically dispersed across the white floors of the hallway it was an absolute gory mess it was strange as well the bullet holes on their body seemed too large like they were the result of a 50 caliber sniper but who'd be sniping in such close proximity at this point it was safe to assume that we weren't simply dealing with rig employees our superiors had either lied to us or out of the loop themselves I was leaning towards the former wouldn't be the first time that it had happened Richter held up his hand signalling for us to halt in all honesty I couldn't be too mad at him he also looked terrified after a moment of excruciating hesitation he finally motioned for us to enter the hallway I suppose that we still had a job to do after all we moved with absolute caution making minimal noise and trying not to disrupt the bodies just like the staircase the hallway brushed off quite a bit but we always just went straight eventually we reached a larger rusted metal door at the end who was marked by a large red letters inspections own maximum clearance needed there was another panel to the side of it which also included what looked like a fingerprint scanner we all looked at Richter trying to anticipate what the hell our next move was going to be after what felt like an eternity he finally walked up to it entered a password and scanned his thumb we started to brace for whatever was coming however I don't think we could ever have been prepared for what was waiting for us on the other side a deafening alarm accompanied by flashing red lights washed over us as the metal barrier began sliding open it was a massacre that followed a barrage of ammunition started decimating our group but since I was near the back and I didn't get the full brunt of the assault however there was no way in hell that I was gonna try returning fire that would have been futile I got a brief glimpse of who was firing at us before turning around and bolting I can only assume that there was some kind of infantry unit from a place far more technologically advanced than here they had on what appeared to be shiny great exosuits that followed their every movement with precision their weapons were also something else barely yielding any recoil as they tore through their targets motivated by the sounds of carnage I just ran the other way I knew that going straight wasn't an option so I ducked into the first branch pathway that I came across I started weaving my way around the maze of corridors trying to get away from whatever the hell was going on the gunshots had long since ceased and at that point my footsteps were the only audible sounds I didn't know where I was but at least still alive I stopped and leaned against a wall trying to catch my breath I nearly had a heart attack when I felt a metal hand cover my mouth and pour me into a corner he was one of those soldiers the guy came from nowhere I instinctively put my hands up in a please don't kill me position after a few seconds the soldier pressed a button and his helmet retracted into the suit revealing his face we just looked at each other for what felt like an eternity his face was blank with a hint of subtle surprise accentuating his expression it felt weird at first but he almost looked familiar somehow after an indeterminate amount of silence he chuckled I never thought I'd get this chance after I let the initial shock wear off I tried pestering him with questions but the words all stumbled out in an incoherent mess it's alright he stopped me it's a long story but I'll explain everything he looks around before continuing hopefully we have enough time what he ends up telling me puts me into a state of absolute incredulity as it turns out the soldiers that just mowed us down had come here from the future 21:43 to be exact yes we were dealing with time travel here I don't want to believe it either but it is what it is they've been sent back for the sole purpose of making sure nobody made it past the inspection zone so what was beyond that point so in Primal something that was never meant to be disturbed the soldier tells me there's a bunch of theories about how it got there but all of them lead to the same conclusion we cannot fuck with it he tells me that once we started digging into the cliffside in an attempt to find out what was going on we ruined the future for everybody yes we unleashed this thing the soldier sighs before taking a seat well but you weren't the only ones that fucked up we did too apparently during the chaotic aftermath of whatever we'd release to the world the quest to perfect time travel was forced to be expedited they needed to erase this event immediately that meant cutting some corners the first team which consisted of around 15 people was supposed to be sent back to the winter of 2014 the actual time during which we supposedly started constructing the rig they wanted to end it before it started however the technology was simply not ready and instead they were accidentally dropped around June 2013 wait 2013 June that's when this whole thing started it wasn't the winter of 2014 I looked up at the soldier and he just nodded as if he knew that I just connected the dots so you can see where we catastrophic ly mess everything up right I need to think about it some more no he couldn't be right apparently when the first team of 15 was sent back they triggered something it might have been some sort of seismic event or unnatural spike in radiation that caught the attention of the US government in addition to this the pod that was supposed to contain their water and rations have been dropped nearly 400 miles away from where they were in short all of them died in the desert before they could even warn anybody about this in their attempt to stop people from discovering the monstrosity located within the cliffside they were the ones that caused them to look for it in the first place predestination I found myself whispering the soldier simply nodded we created some kind of fucked-up self-fulfilling prophecy it doesn't really make a lot of sense to me but I'm irrelevant here I didn't help design that god damned time machine so what the hell did we release I asked him what are you guys trying to protect he chuckles again although a snare would probably be a more apt description of the sound he made we weren't trying to protect that fucking thing down there we were trying to protect humanity we need that thing to remain dormant for as long as possible there's nothing we can do if it wakes up naturally but we sure as hell can't be the ones that caused it I still didn't quite understand what I'm hearing but doesn't stop me from pressing him further so why are you guys here now it's 2018 did the Machine fuck up again the soldier nots we couldn't risk another mission landing before the discovery so we needed to make sure that we were sent back at some point afterwards as it turns out that ended up being a few days ago we couldn't control when exactly we landed so well this is what we got so what the hell are you supposed to do now I asked him he looks up at me with an expression that I can only describe as sheer disk insertion nice face well we kill everybody that comes here that included the employees and whoever sent here to investigate my heart drops a bit I feel anger rising in my system for just a second before ultimately realizing why this may be necessary a hundred lives taken today is worth saving humanity in the long run you guys are close he says close to drilling into the beasts lair we have no time to try and convince you to stop there's only 15 of us after all in our timeline you guys initially disrupted the thing at the end of this year you saw the sheer scale of this creature and decided not to provoke it any further however by that time it was too late this thing reacts rather slowly but the results are always apocalyptic in the end it woke up 124 years later to find a massive hole that led to the outside world and then it escaped he lets out an exasperated exhale before continuing we have no time there's no time I'm cautious as I asked the next question not really knowing where it'll lead me so why didn't you kill me isn't that the job he looks at me again this time we hold each other's gaze for what feels like an extended period of time his eyes were so familiar I realized why that was the case later on but it felt so strange at the time eventually he reaches into his pocket and takes out a Polaroid picture sliding it towards me I pick it up and flinch in surprise of what I'm seeing it's it's me holding a baby I don't recall ever posing for this picture also I'm about 28 now but I've looked to be in my mid-30s in the photo I stare back at him expecting some sort of an explanation he just chuckles again nobody in our family ever blamed you for what happened the ancestors of everybody involved here always felt the greatest extent of shame but we never did we knew that you were just following orders we knew that you never could have realized what you are actually doing as I take the time to process this weighty revelation the soldier gets up besides if I kill you here then I won't exist in the future it's kind of a selfish reason that I'm doing this I suppose but hey we got to do what we got to do to survive so why'd you want me to do now I asked him the question nearly chokes me up I can barely handle what I'm being told right now find a way out of here there's staircases everywhere each one of them lead up to the surface once you get there you can try and tell everybody about what I've told you here but they won't believe you so just forget about this I suppose that I must have looked horrified because the soldier simply chuckled again don't worry about it we have a plan and I'm confident it'll work we just need to hold you guys off for a few more days he gives me a smile before activating his helmet again he starts walking before turning back one last time I would have told you more but I didn't want to spoil everything for you you should quit smoking though after he left I must have stood there for hours I mean what the fuck just happened eventually I make my way back up to the surface I tell the other supervisors exactly what had transpired but they just looked at me as if I were completely fucking insane hmm a reasonable reaction in retrospect not long after they send the third team down I hear later that they didn't even make a dent on the soldiers from the future good news I guess later that day and flown back to the states and questioned extensively I just tell them the same thing that I told the supervisors I even show them the picture that the soldier gave me the higher-ups who questioned me simply write it all off as me being mad I'm on paid leave for now I'm not sure when they'll decide to bring me back in fact I don't even know if they're considering bringing me back at all whatever I just need to forget about all of this I just want to believe that everything the soldier told me was bullshit but why would it be why would he go through the process of making it all up just to fuck with me this all seems to lead to one conclusion and it's not a good one when the soldier told me that he was confident in their plan to save humanity there was something off about the way he'd said it something that told me he wasn't actually confident about it at all Oh God we may be in real danger [Music] well an extremely weird and extremely wonderful story fee there did you see where that was going mm-hmm no neither did I well I think if there's a moral to it then
