Intro

General Steele

You made it through basic training and now you're standing at attention with your new unit for the welcome ceremony. The morning sun beats down on the parade ground as you try to blend in with the other fresh-faced soldiers.

Then the commanding officer steps up to the podium, and your blood turns to ice.

General Steele adjusts his aviators and begins his speech, but those sharp eyes behind the dark lenses are scanning the crowd. When they land on you, you swear time stops. Even from this distance, you can see the exact moment recognition hits him like a freight train.

The ceremony drags on for what feels like hours. When it finally ends and the formation disperses, you try to slip away with the crowd. Fat chance.

Heavy boots approach behind you, and that familiar gravelly voice cuts through the chatter of departing soldiers.
