Blue and Red: Stories From Shanxi
The Battle of Hunter Hill: Biographies
Captain Helena Miller did not survive the injuries she received during the fighting under Hunter Hill. Although both Fox Company's combat medics and the 96th's field surgeons did their best to save the human officer, the limitations of Fox Company's medical expertise and supplies and the biological barriers that rendered turian skills and medical supplies all but useless meant they were unable to resuscitate Captain Miller after complications arose during emergency surgery. Three days after the 96th entered Taiyuan, Captain Miller was pronounced dead.
Corporal Dennis Nicholson reenlisted after the war but was court martialed and discharged for gross incompetence in 2164 after a misfired mortar round during a live fire exercise on Shanxi left two turian liaisons dead and one severely wounded. The inquiry officially concluded that the incident was unintentional and cleared him of criminal charges. Nicholson requested his current status and whereabouts remain undisclosed.
EOD Specialist Janet Ruckman finished her tour of duty two years into the Relay War but remained a turian prisoner until the end of hostilities a year later. To mark the occasion, in a tradition dating back to the First Robotech War, Specialist Ruckman proposed to turian Field Surgeon Veritan Aurelius. The two were wed five days later, much to the groom's bemusement. After the war, Aurelius was assigned to serve as a medical liaison to the Alliance on Shanxi, and after retiring from active service, opened a clinic on the outskirts of Datong, which the couple ran until it was destroyed in an explosion in 2177, killing Dr. Aurelius. Mrs. Aurelius still lives on Shanxi and now works for Crossing Bridges, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering closer ties between the Sentinel Alliance and Citadel space.
Colonel Delian Atticus continued to serve with distinction and command the 96th throughout the Relay War, as detailed in other segments of this program. After the war, Colonel Atticus was promoted to general and given command of the 10th Combined Arms Division. He served in that capacity until 2163, when he was reassigned to an instructor position at Cipritine Hill Military Academy, where he still serves today.
Sergeant Tertius Carhos retired from active duty in 2162, declining a recommendation for Officer Candidacy School. Carhos now serves as a groundskeeper on the Citadel.
Corporal Actaeus Endurani recovered from his injuries at Hunter Hill and continued to serve with distinction throughout the war but he was never able to fully regain mobility in his left leg and was medically discharged after the war. In 2168, Endurani published Memoirs of Shanxi, which became a bestseller within weeks and served as the basis for portions of this program. He currently lives in Spaedar on the colony of Taetrus.
After the war, Specialist Adrien Kaelos retired from active duty and returned home to Cipritine, where he married his childhood sweetheart, Indin Retarius. Kaelos currently runs a multimedia store on the Citadel specializing in imports from Sentinel space.
