Cdr. Amyus Bale - Personal log - 25 May

More abductions.  Tokyo, Miami, Kaduna - I wouldn't have thought there was anyone left to take.

Why do they do this - take so many people?  What for?  Is there a purpose behind this we could even comprehend?  Maybe taking one of the enemy alive is the only way we'll ever know.

The world is terror-stricken.  Our isolated task force is struggling to combat the the rising tide of panic.  I feel like Cnut, only not so wise - my attempts to halt the flood are in earnest, after all.

Wherever I send our soldiers, the world will pay for it elsewhere.  Which nations do I prioritise, which abandon?  Whose support must I keep, whose lose?  These are decisions I never wanted to make.

The Skyranger flies for Tokyo.  The infirmary is groaning with our best soldiers, so a scratch team is all we can muster.  Sgt. "Boghead" Borg in the lead, with Sgt. "Cyclops" Gryspeerdt; Sqs. McGee and Lambert (busted out of the stockade early); and two rookies still wet behind the ears, Glanville and Mitchell.
