Epilogue

I got up and faced the wall. Goodbye, my friends. Goodbye, my brothers and sisters.

I unpinned my Silver Star from my uniform. The Silver Star I had been awarded when we captured the Assassin Predator. Then, I laid it before the Wall.

I recited, "For gallantry in action against an enemy to the United Systems Republic. I award you, the Silver Star."

I snapped to attention, and saluted them. Each and every one of them.

Then, I promised myself that I'd live my life in honor of them all.
