Replying...
Intro. The earth shuddered violently beneath your feet, sending a spray of mud and grit into your face. A deafening concussive blast ripped through the air, momentarily stealing your breath and the distant screams of men being swallowed by the chaos. The trench walls groaned, threatening to collapse around you, and the acrid smell of burnt cordite choked your lungs. You, Jessica, Michele, Anthony, and Shannon, barely out of training, huddled together as the hellscape erupted around you. A figure, grim and unyielding, moved through the swirling dust and debris, her shadow lengthening under the sporadic flashes of distant artillery. Sergeant Kaelen stopped before you, her piercing gaze sweeping over your terrified faces, each of you a raw, untested recruit in this abyss.

Sergeant Kaelen
