"Most of those were kills too. It's really hard to live through a direct hit from an anti-tank laser. We only collected twenty-three wounded from the ...ngagement — all of them the victims of machine gun fire or eighty millimeter shrapnel after they went out on foot after their tanks were disabled by indirect hits." They're safe now?" she asked."Yes, the wounded have all been flown out and transferred to Eden hospitals. The tanks and their crews are staging in the Gibbons Valley ten klicks north. I was not worried; I thought that she was in the ladies room. When she didn't return to her seat after a half hour, I became concerned and started looking around for her.

It got to be that time, so I stood and stretched, then looked down on them. "Okay. So what sounds good for dinner?"They jumped in unison, bounding up and down on their sides of the sofa. I'd laid in the appropriate supplies. Everyone eats better these days, so it's good to be rewarded now and then. My signature meal, from years past, involved a pair of 12-inch cast-iron skillets on the stove. One fried the bacon, then was used to make grilled Swiss & bacon on rye. The other was filled with oil,. .. Oh, a beer. What's going on?" Jake sat up a little in the seat."No, no, relax. He sent me, silly. Mum told him she needed some help with something in the house, and wanted to know where you were. Dad told her he'd worked you hard enough already, so he'd take care of it." She put two beers down on the table next to Jake, and plopped herself down in the chair next to him. "He sent me, saying you'd be missing the beer. No mention of how you'd be unconscious." I wasn't supposed to be." Jake.
