1500 hours on Sarconis.

War racked the galaxy as the Terrans laid siege once again upon Sarconis. The earth federation was losing the war so the emperor called for The Draft. Men had to leave their families, some not even old enough to leave the house. The Federation built ships and weapons like none other to rage war on Sarconis, to win. Maybe they wanted the planet's resources. Maybe they wanted to colonize Sarconis. Maybe they just wanted to conquer the planet. Whatever the reason, they were back with a newfound fury. But that didn't matter because they were still losing the war.

All was quiet on the hill that I was assigned to watch. It was boring, just sitting there watching in the night for any movement. The nights were usually warm. The days were hot, with the occasion cool wind. The land was lush in brush but had no animals. "God this sucks." I said to the wind. "I wish something exciting would happen." I knew that war was all over the planet. And if anything did happen this small outpost would more that likely be wiped off the map with only scraps of metal left over. "God, at least my shift is almost done." The shifts were done in six-hour intervals, as only five men were at the outpost. SNAP! Instantly, I was on my feet with my gun raised and searching, waiting for the intruder to make his/its appearance. "Dude, chill! I am here for my shift." Phil Huatson stepped out along the path from the bunker to the post. He was about six foot two inches with a dangerous grace that should not to be given to men. A patch of his blonde hair stuck out from under his helmet and his eyes were dark, like his skin. At a first glance, one would think he couldn't have a sense of humor through those rock-hard looks. "Man, go get some rest, you look exhausted." He said coolly. "Yeah," I said sleepily, "I could use it." I walked back to the bunker at the best rate I could manage in my fatigued state. "Maybe having a quiet post isn't so bad, if you want some sleep."
