I've been reading a very particular set of books lately.
------
It had been almost four years since our unceremonious arrival on Ancient Terra and my plan to escape from Amberley’s personal Emperor-hunting expeditions by fixing my personal flag to the noble cause of ensuring the safety and security of the free and democratic people of Ukraine in the face of the expected aggression of the despotic and Imperialist Russia was working beautifully.
Especially since there was no possible way the situation could devolve into a full-blown conflict. All the intelligence analysts and gleaners of the ‘news media’ assured that the armed forces of Russia had made none of the expected logistical buildups necessary to actually support a war effort and it really was all to be an exercise.
A one-year contract of service in the international brigades for myself and my aide seemed like the perfect solution to a lot of snowballing problems following our passing out from the L.É. (1).
Had I known on our arrival at Hostomel what I know now, maybe joining Amberley’s mission to the Death Zones of the Himalasian mountains might have been the safer option.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
