"As with the coming of the Gallic threat, Bretonian Armed Forces are in a hurry of gathering they're troops as fast and possible, mobilizing new cadets to strengthen their ranks. Planet Leeds is being evacuated due to its fragile location situated on the borders of the Gallian Kingdom."
A family of 3 children and they're parents are standing in front of a Clydesdale, ready for transport to a safer place. One of the children, the eldest one, a boy, is arguing with his father. In the end there's just 2 children and the parents who climb aboard the vessel. He stays there for a bit, watching as the ship leaves towards the zenit of the star-filled night sky. -In the background the explosions of a firefight can be seen.. probably some Gallic scouts have penetrated the border. The young man turns around, determined to head to the recruitment office of the Bretonian Armed Forces."
"A tall, athletic boy enters the recruiting office.
-Excuse me sirs, I am willing to join the Armed Forces, to whom shall I speak? - the boy asks
-Right over here boy, -the aide responds- come on, I'll be ending my shift soon, so hurry up! Your name please!
-Tim Garland.
-Age?
-19.
"The aide takes a quick glance on the figure of the boy and says": -Laddy, aren't you a bit too young for this?
-Sir, with all due respect, I was scheduled for evac to Cambridge a few hours ago with my family. I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing by fleeing. That's not how I want to live! I want to fight for my house's freedom! For the Queen!
-Hmmm.. Well, let's see here... I see you've had some previous flight experience. How's your handling with a spaceship?
-I have worked with my father.. Trading mostly, but I did fly light ships too. I can handle piloting, sir!
-Well, your paper's are fine.. Are you sure your up for it?
-Mighty sure I am, sir!
-Fine, let me check with my superiors, have a seat there, please.
"The boy sits. He feels good. He knows he's made the right choice. As he thinks about his family, his sisters, his mother, and then his father, he drops a few tears, but doesn't cry, knowing that one day his father will respect his choice, when he'll be considered as a hero who fought for his country, and for the Queen."
