Into the Light

Log Activation; YC 111.07.24

"Those who embrace the Lord and walk in light, shall be saved by his grace. For we are the shepherds in the dark, his Angels of Mercy" - Scriptures. Book of Reclaiming 4:45

The com-link recorder flashes into life, Atfal sits naked on a small crate, a numb look on his face. Beads of sweat periodically run down his face.

I knew the time would come when my reflexes were not fast enough and I would hear the words "Pod Breach Imminent". I have heard the stories told many times of that instant of the....clone activation...

Atfal drops his head down, his shoulders shifty under an unseen heavy weight before he lifts his head once more

I have been briefed a thousand times or more on the pod breach. I know what to expect and yet I did not. I did not truly understand until now.

The mission was simple point the raven, well it was supposed to be simple. I have seen the slaves fit these caladri ships before, always the same, smartbombs to catch the unwary and the small ships. 9km that's the distance stay outside 9km, all fine unless the enemy warps and manages to warp to zero on your ass. All for naught, a death for nothing.....

Atfal hangs his head, his shoulders slump, the burden of shame clear.

The Punisher couldn't take the onslaught, once they bombs went off I knew it, lined up the nearest planet and then....Then the breach.

To stand on the edge of the abyss and to be snatched away. It is unimaginable.....I doubt it will ever be something that I will get used to. The searing light followed by absolute darkness, a feeling of being suffocated, almost buried alive. That followed by a grogginess, waking up from a nightmare that was real.

Alas I have walked in the light, saved by the grace of god, I am an angel of vengeance reborn from the fire.

Atfal lifts his head, a stern look upon his face.

It is true, God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.
