Chapter Far from done

Monk was up and moving to his powered armor before he opened the alert message on his data pad.

So Ershue held, he thought, sending a silent pray out to the universe as his heart rate slowed.

He took a few moments to reflect, sending his thoughts out to those that had been lost and those that remained. He knew that the damage both physical and mental to those left would be immense.

He checked over the information on the supply ships that would be moving into the area, he changed a handful of missions, sending them to the supply stations in deep space, changing their cargoes of weapons and ammunition to supplies that would help Ershue, both the planet and the people get back on their feet.

He slotted the data pad into it’s place on his armor’s back before stepping into the machine. It closed around him and he brought his helmet onto his head.

Henry made noises in his crib, the little guy didn’t make sleep easy, but it was times like these when Henry’s vitality and utter disregard for the goings on of the universe melted Monk’s heart.

He was growing fast, already able to walk and run around in short steps. While he was just a few months old, he now had the body of a four-year-old.

Monk’s smile faltered for a few seconds, in just a few hours he would be parted from Henry. Cheerleader would be on the station, coming via a freighter instead of the Mondal. The Super Carrier was looking on the wrong side of broken. The yard Commander hadn’t given it the yes or no yet but he would in a few days.

In the meantime, everyone from Cheerleader’s fleet had grabbed a ride with freighters back to Parnmal.

Cheerleader would look over the management of Parnmal, her people preparing to take command of the ships coming out of Parnmal yards.

There were a few reasons to this, first, Cheerleader and her fleet needed time to decompress and clear their heads before anything, they would be with friends and comrades on Parnmal. They would also have psych’s to talk to, there was no stigma with talking to the head doctor in the Free Fleet, it was rather encouraged, like having a beer.

They didn’t work miracles but they served as another vent for the people that had been at the pointy end and seen some damned scary stuff.

Also, Monk was going to Earth, primarily because he was the commander of Parnmal, the majority of his Commandos were going to Earth.

It was easier to move them as one entire unit with him at their head and throw them into an operation than cutting and pasting them into new units.

The Avarians were keeping their Parnmal units for the foreseeable future but they didn’t need any more reinforcements until the other heavily contested areas were taken care of.

Hopefully by the time Monk and the rest of his people made it into Sol, the hostilities on Mars would be over.

The Kalu had fucked up by the numbers landing right on the Commando training ground.
