First day on the job
Lieutenant First Class; I find myself still trying to get used to the words first day on the job. It has been less than twenty-four hours since my graduation from the Knight Academy, and I have been shot at twice, my vehicle blown up, and in a skirmish. Sure we’re trained for this, I mean that’s what being a knight is all about. But it was largely ceremonial until now. You never hear about anyone attacking a knight so openly, I certainly haven’t. These are strange times.
All in all, I’m glad that I had my training to rely on; otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to save Xul Xandu on the podium yesterday. And we all would have probably died back in the canyons. As I look around the cabin I see the others trying to put on a brave face, but behind the bravado I know that they are still a bit shaken, having just had their first battle. And the fact that we’re being pursued certainly hasn’t helped. At least now, in these civilian clothes we are less conspicuous.
Most of us have been friends since that first term at the academy. Before the first year had ended Kara, Remus, Tanu, Vogt and I were already a tight knit bunch, with Eri, Evet and Zarak joining our group in the later years. There’s not a finer group that I would rather serve with, that was reinforced in the canyons. The way we moved, and defeated those androids, that cohesion doesn’t just come to a group, it takes years of bonding.
As we press on to Andros, I know that whatever perils lay there, whatever this dark force is that plots against us, with them by my side we shall persevere.
