Every Pack is a Generation Challenge

April lived in Strangerville when she was a kid and her parents defeated the Mother Plant. She was very young though, and only remembers small details here and there. She didn't know exactly what was going on, so the plant is very new to her. Since it is defeated, it will have to be resurrected before she can do the Strangerville Mystery for this challenge, so I'm doing the Mother Plant Resurrection Aspiration mod, which adds an aspiration to resurrect the Mother Plant. I guess this part of the story can be considered somewhat of a prologue. She is in the military though and can start going through the ranks there. I've given her the paranoid, geek, and ambitious traits as added traits. Her primary traits are Bookworm, Creative, and Family Oriented.

As to the story, she met General Buzz Grunt while he was acting as a recruiter on Brightchester campus where April graduated with a degree in Language and Literature. One of her dreams is to also become a writer while she's in the military. General Grunt told her to investigate the secret lab where her parents had defeated the Mother Plant. She did, with her best friend Marci. Marci told her about some disappearances that had been happening around Strangerville. While they were investigating the lab, Marci was kidnapped. April joined the military in order to help find out who is behind the disappearances around Strangerville.

April moved into her childhood home in Strangerville. It was nostalgic being back. She made a few changes to the house, mostly updating her old bedroom and turning it into a guest bedroom.

She got some medals from her officer academy graduation and earned the rank of Captain. General Grunt had told her that she would now be reporting directly to him. She was both excited and nervous to finally be able to understand what was going on around Strangerville.

But first, she would get started on some more training.

Since she didn't need to meet with the General until later, she headed to the bar to meet some co-workers and ask around for some information. General Grunt may be filling her in on some things, but she was still determined to learn as much as she could.

She met a stern Major who said that he may know something, but he completely refused to tell her anything and reprimanded her for asking questions.

The general was there to meet her when she showed up to the military base. He told her he would give her her first assignment in his office.

"You're a commissioned officer now, Captain Fogel," he said as they sat down, "and as such it is your responsibility to manage, problem solve, and lead the soldiers under your command. You will be receiving your orders from me, and you will delegate tasks to the soldiers in your company. Got it?"

"Yes, General."

"However," he continued, "the missions I am assigning you are top-secret. You will tell no one about them."

"Understood, sir." She was finally going to get some information.

"Now, I can't give you much information right now, but I will answer the question you asked me last time concerning the origin of that plant. The answer is...we don't quite know exactly. It does seem to have alien origins, but we aren't certain it's from Sixam. However, even though it is dormant, it seems to be connected somehow to the disappearances. Though there aren't any of those plants around town, a new one pops up near the lab every time someone has been reported missing."

"Why would that be?" she asked him.

"We don't know, but I'm afraid that's all I can tell you for now. The first thing we need before I can tell you more is information on the people who are going missing. I need you to plant 10 bugs on ordinary civilians around town and deliver the audio recordings to me. This could also help protect those civilians, as we'll have more eyes, or should I say, ears on them."

She hesitated, burning to ask questions, but instead replied, "Yes, sir."

He folded his hands and sat back, as if the conversation was over. "Good. Then we will talk some more once you've delivered those recordings. Now, let me show you around the base, Captain."

"Thank you, General."

He showed her another lab on the base that she could use, should it prove useful for her investigation. There was definitely some interesting stuff in here.

'What is this thing,' she wondered.

On her way home she stopped by Marci's house, even though she knew it was pointless. There was still no one home.

It was true what the General had said though. Those plants were only at the secret lab. She had seen them last time she was there. There was nothing in town though.

Having dinner at home was a little lonely with no one around to fill the living room and hallways. Nothing like at her family home.

My military knowledge is very limited, but I will do my best. :D

Also, in the game she is a "Lacking Corporal" which is level 3, so for story sake, I gave her the level 3 rank of an officer in the army, which is Captain.
