A piece of cake. No problem. Just a routine re-supply assignment. Just bring supplies to Foreas Base. I counted myself lucky for being placed on such an easy mission. The path was nowhere near Bane troop deployment areas. It was the safest job I could have. I could relax, and not worry about war and death for a little bit.

Everything was good. The soldiers joked and laughed, reminisced about times back on Earth. Then the crackle of laser fire broke through the mellow atmosphere. Soldiers dropped like flies. I hit the dirt, trying to avoid fire. There were Bane soldiers all around us gunning down anyone unfortunate enough to be seen. I stayed low to the ground, and I watched the last few soldiers fall to the ground. I wanted to do something. I wanted to help. But I knew I wouldn't be able to save them, and I would only get myself killed. Eventually, after looting the supplies, the Bane left. I managed to get myself back to HQ unharmed. Sure, a piece of cake.
