Shropshire's Expedition
An anime project that we're going to be working on. We're actually looking for some good reference material for Shropshire's Expedition as there seems to be nothing that can come up onto our minds when we think of mediums to use for the visuals. While I was writing this, I was actually thinking about Starship Troopers (bloody movie) and the actual American Revolution, so there will probably will be some semblance within the text. Here is the brief synopsis....
Fifty years ago....
The Sectional Confederacy of the United Supernautions approved the colonization of Section XIII. An expedition of 20,000 settlers populated the first urban establishment within Section XIII. It was called Garon City, in honor of the Garon Robear, supervisor and sponsor of the Section XIII colonies. For nearly a decade, the people struggled to survive the harsh conditions the land Section XIII burdened them with. The atmosphere was thin, therefore artificial Oxygen generators became a vital artery directly related to the colony's survival. Gravity on Section XIII has a 21.45% increase than that of the other SCUS sectioned colonies. Suits designed to prevent bone degradation and balance circadian rhythms were required to be worn by Garonians at every minute of the day. The land did support an abundance of lifeforms however....Snow to the west, charred flamelands to the east, green prairie fields covered the majority of the north and south. Garon City's location lay within the snowlands of the west as the area was strategically located to become a formidable stronghold defense when the need for arms and violence arose.
As the eleventh year passed, a Garonian scouting unit's video transmission revealed contact with another sentient species inhabiting Section XIII, thus the notion that Garonians were not the sole inhabitants were confirmed. However, a week after the first video transmission had been sent a Garonian outpost was attacked by a contingent of the mysterious natives. During a city gathering, five candidates were elected to direct a search and rescue expedition to the attacked outpost city. They were drilled to only confirm, retrieve, and assist any survivals from the defeated outpost. Engagement with hostiles were to be enacted only as a last resort. As the briefing continued, couriers were dispatched to the first buffer of the Garonian settlement that orbited Section XIII's moon to request reinforcements for the probable war.
Shropshire, mayor of Garon City volunteered for the expedition as one of the five candidates. He was an ex-convict that was banished from his previous life within Section IX for charges against subordination. The charges were dropped as there was not enough evidence to convict, however he became blacklisted by society thereafter, and eventually charged with more misdemeanor acts that were recorded as felonies. Forced to flee or otherwise be jailed for fifty years, he successfully manipulated a situation where he was drafted to become a colonist of the SCUS Garonian settlement. Shropshire climbed the ladder of social success until he became a respected member, and eventually the mayor of the tiny Garon City population.

....We were thinking about whether we should just do a visual novel with this instead of a video.
