Sub Lt. Shad Winston walked slowly through the rain and the night, headed to his room in the Base. Nothing was said as he walked out of the ship. all was heard was the pinging of the cold rain on the sidewalk and the footsteps of the former captain through the drenched streets of Liberty's Capitol. He went to his room and closed the door without saying one word. The only sound that was heard from the sheer volume of the thunder and the cold, wet rain dripping from the clouds was the sound of a single gunshot.
