The Risks We Take: A Kongo RISK AAR
This will be an AAR based on the Risk Battle mod by Yukala. Beta4 version. The story of this AAR is my own, but any references to ‘Hannibal’ and his adventures are by permission of GeneralHannibal.
The Risks We Take:
Prologue:
“What’s up?”
“I have a new assignment for you. T-1-24-782-6-27-102. Have you heard of it?”
“I can’t say I have.”
“Well, there are so many instances, you’d have to have a photographic memory to remember all the designations. T-1-24-782-6-27 tends to represent the Global Era on Earth, with the divergences tending to come from people futzing around with the ideologies of the period.”
“Isn’t that Agent Auris’ area of expertise, surely he could…”
“He’s too busy in T-1-24-782-6-27-4. I think he’s having fun playing around with the fascist simpleton, but besides that a situation has come up that may need his attention.”
“Still, can’t it wait?”
“No, something has happened that is very worrying. Someone has severely altered a large group of instances in that period, turning Earth into a planet dominated by massive trading organisations backing imperialistic powers”
“Imperialistic powers? Isn’t that what we want?”
“On top of that, evidence indicates that whoever is behind this is conducting tests on the instances. One name keeps popping up. ‘Hannibal’.”
“The Carthaginian?”
“I don’t know, but he has been sighted in multiple non-consecutive instances, meaning whoever is running the tests knows their stuff. I need you to go in and start playing around in one of the instances. Do what you can to draw attention to yourself. We want to bring these people into the open”
“I’d rather be doing something for the Battle of…”
“That isn’t set for more than a century, and if it is the enemy conducting these experiments then we need to stop them.”
“Fine, I'll deploy immediately”
And so, I found myself floating in a capsule in orbit around the Earth. Looking at the map spread before me, I could see the way the world was arranged was nothing like what I had known. Someone really had severely changed everything. North America was divided into hostile powers, Africa was free from the grip of colonialism, and Europe was…actually Europe wasn’t much different from usual.
The insertion plan was simple. I would displace down and kill the leader of one of those nations. Then I could deploy the small-scale brainwashing device. It wouldn’t affect the victims too badly; it merely overwrites the memories of the leader I killed in everybody’s minds and replaced them with memories of me. This whole operation was dangerous, as whoever was behind this surely wouldn’t like my interference. It was a very big risk, but someone had to take it. For the Empire. For the Future.
To be continued…
So, I haven’t decided whom I will play yet. I’m open to suggestions. Check some of the other Risk AARs for ideas of what nations are available. (in other words I can’t be bothered to list them all here ) . This AAR won’t start for a little while yet, so there is plenty of time to help me decide.
