THE ILIAD SOARED over the icy peaks of the High Tauern, skimming along the sides of the mountain range as she raced toward Villach out of the west, a swift sunset behind her.

“Distance to the target?” Gabriel asked on the deck.

Nathaniel was with him, off to the left in full combat gear, staring at the oncoming scenery. Sean paced behind the two of them and the rest of their four-man squads were down below, final preparations for the assault underway.

“Hundred and thirteen klicks to the stadium,” Nathaniel replied in a tone that was suspiciously calm, “and coming up fast.”

“SITREP?” Gabriel continued, picking up that Nathaniel was distracted. It was his eyes that gave it away, unable stay put for very long. He was normally one with razor sharp focus.

“What’s bugging ya, man?” Gabriel asked casually. “I can see it in your face and it ain't pretty.”

“If I’m frank, it's this mission. I can't shake the feeling that something about it all is... off.”

“What you're feeling is probably the same thing that's been eatin’ my dick since we received orders.”

“That's one way of putting it,” Nathaniel answered with a quick chuckle.

“Yeah,” Gabriel continued, “well I think that our chances of successfully killin’ Dajjal are slim to fuckin’ none. But as always, we’re gonna follow orders and ensure we've given it everything we've got. If we don't kill him, we can sure do our best to delay him.”

“Roger that,” Nathaniel agreed, fiddling with his memorial bracelet, though none of it did a damn thing to sway his feelings positively. “We better put a massive dent in him at the very least.”

Sean was listening as he continued to pace, joining the conversation without stopping.

“I plan to personally deliver a grenade to his guts,” he said with loathing. “That’s what I want to happen to all these fuckers. The Noctis need take a massive hit because this has gone on for long enough.”

They had all been so wrapped up in rescue missions, assault missions, and reconnaissance missions that neither Gabriel or Nathaniel had really asked Sean some of the most basic introductory questions.

“So I gather that you had direct trouble with the red eyes?” Nathaniel asked over his shoulder. “That's a rare thing, considering how spread out their forces were. Most of us just have typical monster encounters littering our past. Ghosts and me are really good pals.”

“Aye. Gosh that was back in, um, late 2009 I think,” Sean replied, whistling at the realization that it was six-ish years ago. “Shit, time’s not only blurring together, it's flying by.”

“Ain't that the fucking truth,” Nathaniel responded. “I had a mess of things happen around that time, leading right up to the Incursion. Remind me to tell you about it one day once all this is over, but shadow men are some of the goddamn worst.”

“Will do for sure,” Sean promised. “For me, I was at Bagram when a local gang of smokies decided to start an assault on the base. It was brutal, dust kicked up everywhere masking the murders but we could still hear it going down.
