Today was another grind. One of the bad kinds, where nothing really seemed to get accomplished and a bunch of kids died just holding the line. There were a couple times when it looked like something good would happen today, like about noon, when a platoon of Sensitives assaulted the Purgas Hospital and nearly captured it. I was watching the video feeds and I was pretty impressed, not only by their abilities, but also by their discipline and good tactics. Reminds me of when I was a field lieutenant.

Things started to go sour for them, so I sent some air support and told them to get out of there. They apparently didn't realize how bad the situation was, so I had to yell at them to stop being heroes and order them out. They started their retreat when the damn Xanx burrowed up from underground and caught them in their webs and the Lightbenders cut them down. More manpower lost, and we can't even revive them until more miracle cocktail arrives. And after that happened, they started hitting the power plant and nearly took Emergency power makes everyone edgy and I just sent in yet another request for a real fusion reactor. Doesn't AFS Command read those? I swear, back on Earth we may have been old fashioned, but at least we had secure electricity in all our bases!

I still can't stop thinking about my old boys and girls. I know they're out there fighting the good fight, but I haven't been able to contact them for months now, and it really hasn't helped me focus on the fight here. I'm posting this entry on the public nets, and if any of my old crew reads this, you know how to get a hold of me. Send me something, any way you can.
