It had been a long time since the last session, the last time Heinrich had been to stasis. The constant trips in and out to tend to wounds and other awards from service time had come to a close. The facial scars remained, but between allies and "friends" Heinrich was still willing to show her face. The sessions were long and tiresome, each exit from stasis felt like it took more than it gave, of course that really wasn't the case. But the initial feeling of coming off a tranquilizer - among the other side effects of stasis - had taken a serious mental toll on the General. Physically, she was there, mentally though? More twisted than ever.
That twisted state didn't end at the boundaries of her brain, it became another change to the way of life for millions, billions even. This ambitious assault was just the latest in line of crazy ideas guided by a more twisted leader. Too some, words coming out of the General's mouth immediately made it more sound than if it were coming out of a Hauptmann's. But a good portion as well saw the risks in undertaking such a task. Especially knowing the initial cost would already be drastic.
Heinrich sat comfortably at one of the corner tables next to one of the other brigadegenerals and an advisor. In the room were a few other Majors, some SOA, some Army. Director Stalhbrecher was scheduled to arrive on the planet after the groups departure, that was of course. If their guests would arrive on time...
Let hangar control know shuttle preparations should get underway now. I'll give it an hour past their expected arrival time. Otherwise we'll make due and proceed. The General said to one of the majors before he quickly got up and walked out of the room.
I need a drink once we get down there, if these Communists are any bit as redundant as Selim was I swear I'll send them out an airlock. The comment had a few others amused, all that was left now was for the guests to arrive.
