"You may step forward Captain."
"This tribunal regarding the decimation of the Second Advanced Reconnaissance Division may now begin."
Behind the table sat six people; two generals, a major, a couple of senators, and the Secretary.
Before the table sat a large pile of ash and a lone soldier, scarred by a myriad of cuts and burns.
"This is all that remains of your platoon, is it not?"
He could only nod.
"What happened out there Captain?"
"An ambush Mister Secretary. They had the prototypes."
"Somewhat unfortunate that we are to witness the effectiveness of our weaponry demonstrated on our own soldiers." mused a general.
"It is also unfortunate that it is this tribunal's decision to hereby disband the SARD." declared a senator.
"You are being reassigned, Captain."
"In all due respect sirs, ma'am, I am willing to keep fighting them, My men would be too if they were able."
"Oh, don't worry Captain. You and your men will keep fighting." answered the Secretary.
