Every time I go into the field, I remember back to a few things from Before. They give me strength when I need it and empowers me. I think it's the true edge our enemies don't possess.

I think back to the moment my wife was shot in the dark. The cold air hitting my cheeks as I ran through the woods firing back at them. I remember that last Thrax's face, knowing he was soiling himself as I charged him. I remember the refreshing, yet sickening thud of the shotgun butt as it crushed his skull. Repeatedly.

I also think back to that night to give me a little bit of rage when I need it.

Going back to her, and holding her. Wishing she wasn't really gone. Knowing that those bastards didn't just kill *her* that night. There was no movement anymore. No kicks indicating he was still alive.

I fight for my Wife and Soulmate, killed at my side.

I fight for my unborn child, murdered in her womb.

I fight for all Humans, who are suddenly in danger of extinction.

I fight for all Free Sentients willing to stand up to The Bane.

I fight...for survival.
