things have a way of never going as smoothly as planned. Everything went fine as Roy handled the transfer of authority to the interim commanding officer. He waved goodbye to his subordinates, who came running after him all the way to the station, piles of papers awaiting his signature stacked high in their hands. Everything kept going fine until, after a long train ride, he arrived at his destination in the middle of the biggest rainstorm in years. The convoy sent to greet him was an hour late, by which time the rain had thoroughly soaked Roy and all his baggage. When he asked the reason for the delay, the driver nervously explained that a flock of sheep had been blocking the road. They hadn’t been able to get through.

Roy had expected to find himself in the peaceful countryside. He just hadn’t expected it to be quite this peaceful.

Once on base, Roy looked at his schedule only to find nothing written on it at all. When he asked why, the sergeant on duty explained that there had been nothing to write. Normal duties for the base included fixing broken bridges, chasing runaway cows, and helping organize local festivals. When Roy wondered out loud what the point of keeping a schedule was if no one used it, a sergeant helpfully went up to the board and wrote, in the blank space for that day: “No activity planned on account of heavy rain.”

Scratching his head, Roy went to examine the base munitions and found the door unlocked. Everything inside was covered with an inch of dust, and birds had built a nest on one of the rifle crates. Fearing that the soldiers here might have forgotten how to use their weapons entirely, Roy sent out a call for all soldiers who weren’t otherwise occupied to draw their holstered sidearms for an inspection.

It turned out that only half of them were armed at all, and only a handful of them had actually loaded their weapons. Worse, when he counted the assembled soldiers he realized with a start that he was looking at the entire base. He had asked for soldiers who weren’t occupied, and got everyone. Even the men on guard duty and the communications officer, who was expressly forbidden to leave his post.

Roy was not impressed. Shouting at the top of his lungs, he soon found himself far from enjoying a pleasant vacation in the countryside—and busier than he had ever been at Eastern Command retraining the troops.
