CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

I'm not against the virtual world; it's fascinating, but I don't like the way they try to impose it on us. It's a thing imposed by rich countries.

~ Leos Carax

When I first discovered the virtual world, many years ago, I realized my gender, my skin color, my socio-economic status, and even things like my scar, they no longer mattered. The equality that people had preached about wanting in society, which never came, finally found a way.

~ Kim Ayanna

Bravo Company was the first company to set foot on Almaach after the engineers had set up temporary housing and a basic defense perimeter. The space elevator dropped round pods, shaped like flat-sided doughnuts to the surface. Then the pods would be brought back to the ship, pulled against gravity for half of the trip; then they’d fall to the ship. Dale was amazed at the technology. He was looking up when he stepped into strange animal scat.

“Shit.”

“Yeah, that’s what it is, slick,” said Private Kapralov.

“Let’s go, move out. Quit shitting around,” Sergeant Dyfrig said.

“Whatever left that, it’s a carnivore,” Private Ayanna said. “I can smell the rotten meat.”

Dale looked at Kim Ayanna; she was a Phainopepla, a desert elf, which meant she wasn’t happy being around the Lieutenant or Private Rasulova, who were both Nefyn, woodland elves. Everyone knew there were bigger things at stake, but long-running feuds didn’t end easily. Dale hoped they’d all get along.

“It’s still so strange, leaving a spacecraft, restaurants, movie theaters, swimming pools, and well, what are we even eating tonight? Squirrels?” Smith said.

“I’ve got a banana for you ape,” Kapralov said. He made an ape sound.

Smith ignored him.

“Kapralov, instead of being an ass, why don’t you fly ahead and see if you can do something useful?” Lieutenant Brinkmann said. “But don’t go too far, we have no idea what kind of wildlife lives on this planet.”

“Yes, sir,” he said. Tom Kapralov, as a Draenen, was the only person in the platoon with the capacity of flight. He was not heavily armed and relied on dark shaded goggles to keep from being blinded by the sun. If he stayed in sight, then those with enchanting powers could keep an eye on him, and heal him if required. He flew away for several minutes. When he came back down he reported nothing but meadows, fields, and a few patches of trees for miles in all directions except one. In the direction they were marching there was a thick forest, and he hadn’t seen anything except trees and snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Dale looked at the party as they marched away from the space elevator and the landing headquarters. The platoon was made up of twelve members, Brinkmann and Dyfrig in commanding roles, then himself as the only Corporal. His friends Smith and Amy were next. Then Tom Kapralov, Kim Ayanna, and Sanjay Patel. Even though he didn’t know these three well, at least he’d worked with them before, and they’d performed well.

The party had another Russian, Galina
