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.
