Order came down to Patriot Division from the joint chiefs – those remaining. People changed rank and position so often I didn’t bother remembering who was who apart from those directly above me. We were hitting San Diego, which was the site of one of the largest concentrations of Zoans in the continental northern Americas.

Suddenly, that wind that brought change didn’t feel so fresh anymore.

It was the hardest task we’d been given. Coastal regions, wetlands, rivers...these had largely been abandoned by humans. We had intelligence on the shallower areas...but deep, deep down? We heard they could survive down there. But what they were doing?

Anyone’s guess.

Estimates of enemy forces we might face ranged from a hundred thousand, right up to five hundred thousand. The truth was, we didn’t know. It might be they were breeding beneath the sea and there would be a billion just beneath the waves to greet us.

Why not just nuke them then? It was a perfectly good question, and it was Sammy who asked it at the briefing when our latest colonel finished speaking.

‘Because intact drop ships are rare as rocking horse shit,’ said the colonel with a broad grin. ‘You lucky bastards aren’t going to sunny San Diego to kill everything in sight. We’re taking a drop ship intact.’
