Genny remembered her Sergeant’s words, drilled into her squad of new recruits. But, Genny remembered reading that once they found themselves on the other side of the wormhole with no way to return home, meaning no way to get their creds, they slowly moved apart from the others. The New Conglomerate, as they came to call themselves, were always willing to work with them. All they cared about was what they could get out of it. They had no loyalty to Connery or the mission.

So, listen up, soldiers, I’m not repeating it. “The brass just told me to relay your mission. Two minutes later Duffy’s voice crackled over her head-armor earphones.
