The South African Armed Forces HQ was located not far from the beach where Shayla had been. As it was nothing was far from the SAAF home base in this part of the world, so walking there had taken less than an hour. Shuri, of course, griped the whole way about how it would have been easier to get a hack or a hover pod to take them to HQ. But Shayla had refused on all counts, seeing as how her time to get away from technology – even for a little while – had been infringed upon.

“Might as well enjoy what little time I have under the sun,” she said every time Shuri bitched about the heat.

It was a small sting to administer so frequently, but Shayla enjoyed it. For as much time as Shuri spent in the field, Shayla spent indoors. Some would have thought that to be a lush and cushy assignment and while Shayla was appreciative – to an extent – that she didn’t have to go sloshing through rain forests or crawling through muddy banks, living indoors in a country as beautiful as this certainly didn’t rank high on her list of things to admire about her job.

The SAAF building stood like a glass spire in a green landscape. The jungle had reclaimed much of what had once been a large city – another tool provided by the alien supporters of her country’s adversaries – and what little remained of human architecture was kept in check by the technology used by the aliens that supported her country.

The building itself was circular in shape and capped in a tall communication spire that made it look like an inverted dart. It stood so tall that it was impossible to miss from a hundred kilometers away. The flag of her country was displayed prominently on the front of the building, standing out in stark contrast to the shining steel and glass that made the whole building glimmer like a beacon on a day like today.

All around it, air cars and other hover craft flitted to and from it, reminding her of a bee hive that she had strayed too close to when she was young. And these bees, much like the ones she had seen in her youth, could be dangerous if an enemy came too close to this place.

Walking all about the courtyard at the front of the building were other men and women in uniform. She saw no civilians among the throngs of people anywhere, which was a normal enough occurrence anymore since a “civilian” was anyone under the age of twelve.

All of the people were dressed much like herself, in green uniforms and all with patches on their shoulders that designated their particular functions. Most were soldiers, others were drones like herself. The slicker and more shapely figured people often became the combat soldiers while those like herself wound up doing the grunt work that largely went unnoticed until some combat unit or other didn’t get their socks or skivvies.
