Luna

For four years, I stay close to home, fortifying defenses and training a new wave of supersoldiers. Rising to Corporal feels like an achievement, but it's a hollow one. Deep down, I know I've been playing it safe, too scared of failure or death to venture into the galaxy's deadliest battlegrounds. I keep in touch with Luke and John, both fighting far from home. Luke is deep in space, leading the charge against the Cheruborans, their ambush stalling as they await reinforcements. A shuttle leaves tomorrow, and part of me wants to join him. John, meanwhile, is in Alpha Centauri, defending the British oil base against the Leviathanids. The base is vital to the war effort, and though his mission is top secret, I know how to stow away on a cargo ship if I choose to.
