War never changes. But Warriors do.
I size up the squad. Veterans and mercs from all walks of life. Each a professional in their craft. All gathered for one single mission.
Infiltration.
There are others in the queue. Soldiers not among our cadre. Many, many soldiers. The higher-ups have seen to it that the gate remains closed. The long wait would build up our blood lust and hunger for battle.
But the team is restless. This pack thirsts for blood. I can smell it in them.
Unless it's just perfume. And the scent is screwing with my mind... Hmm...
“Yes! We're moving forward... Just an inch forward...”
Easy now. Recklessness is our greatest enemy. Stay with the team.
“This is 30 minutes of my life I will never get back.”
Good to know you got a refund on that other 30 minutes of your life.
Focus on the damn mission, people.
===========================
War never changes. But Allegiances do.
Sometimes you don't end with the same people you start with. But the deserters will pay for their treachery.
We will send a message to the infidels. A message that tells them you don't turn your back on comrades. A message that tells them you leave no man behind.
Comms devices start lighting up. The techs begin uploading false intel to the defectors' information network.
I think they call it “Twitter”.
We will send a message that will strike confusion into the hearts of our enemies:
“I'm glad I stayed.”
