Admonished that they were to be absolutely silent in military operations, they snuck around the trees in total silence, listening to birds chirp overhead. The sky smelled of a warm breeze, and no one expected any breach of the Orange Star Army's excellent defenses, even though a large storm had brewed up in the heavens the night before, drenching the young recruits with cold numbness.

"This is CO Rachel reporting! 97th Regimental Combat Team, we have spotted unidentified military units in the region! Hold your positions, now!"
