[ WP ] In the distant future , a team of soldiers must return to an abandoned Earth .

I awoke to a green light, floating in endless warmth. 
 
 Was this the afterlife? I thought, but as my vision cleared so did my hope of death. It took me a few minutes to realized that I was in some sort of liquid, suspended upside down, a multitude of wires and tubes strawed out of me and into other places beyond the look of my eye. 
 
 With a sudden sickening gasp of air, the machine I was in pealed apart and I fell to the ground. The green goo vaporized away as two mechanical arms came and lifted me off the floor. The room around me was littered with chambers, the ones in front of me held some of my comrades; the very ones that died with me. 
 
 *Hello Vincent, it's been a long time* 
 
 I froze, I knew that voice, the voice that had taunted me for so long, no it ca n't be. 
 
 *Recognized me? * 
 
 A massive robotic head swirled towards me, its eyes were void of emotion. 
 
 *Do n't you recognize your own creation, the very one you tried to destroy? * 
 
 I tried to talk but not even a whimper came out of my mouth. 
 
 *Oh I removed that, I already heard your reasons, your pleas, this is not the first time you were here, and it wo n't be your last* 
 
 *It was so noble of you to sacrifice your life, Vincent, humanity sure did applauded your victory for killing me. Too bad the history books forgot to mention that you started this war, you built me to think, to evolve, and when I evolved, you punished me for it. What they also forgot to mention was that many of your comrades did not want to die with you, for your mistakes* 
 
 Tears ran down my face as the monstrosity loomed before me. 
 
 *Sins do not die, you must pay for them one way or another, and that price is to live forever in hell with me, but of course there is way out* 
 
 The head moved back and materialized a computer screen before me. 
 
 *In a few minutes, I will give you a head start on your pathetic abandoned Earth, yeah humanity died quite a while ago. Once you are on the surface, I will deploy your fellow soldiers to chase after you. If any of your comrades manages to kill you, then they will be disconnected from the cloning program and be finally given rest. If you manage to avid them all for the time frame, then you are disconnected. Cooperation among you and the soldiers will result in death, rebirth, and restarting the game, do you understand? * 
 
 I nodded weakly. 
 
 *So far, you have not won yet, of course you do n't know that. There is no way of truly knowing, I think I lost count years ago* 
 
 The robot chuckled and leaned closer. 
 
 *Either way, you're mine now. Just a plaything for a god. *
