[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8527603, member: 6761960"] [B][SIZE=5]Bootprints, Part 2[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]Major Lani Mahayhay steps up to the podium, clad in the Mirrorsmoke Mercenary Company's full dress greens. It's the only time any of the Union spacers have ever seen her dressed this formally, and while she wears it with just a little discomfort, she keeps her chin up. "When our carrier shipped out from Lighthouse Station, we were two thousand, three hundred and sixteen strong. No others I have been prouder to serve with than those two thousand, three hundred and sixteen souls. I watched them at work and at play, on the decks and on the float. I saw them off on their flights, their boarding pods. And now I bid farewell to two hundred and eighty-five heroes of our company. They died that others may live, that the dream of a better life may belong to the people of the Shore. These are their faces and voices." A projection lights up the blank hangar wall behind her, thirty meters high. A montage taken from personal recordings of the Mirrorsmoke mercenaries. Marines, roughhousing and joking in their quarters, as playing cards float past in microgravity. Pilots in the mess, clinking mugs and trading loose salutes. Deck crew, posing for group pictures at the starboard duty hangar that took a heavy hit during the battle. Flight leaders from Guiscard and Isabeau Wings, singing poorly as they celebrate a birthday together with flaming cupcakes on a skewer. Most notably, there's a clip of Colonel Milch, rolling up his sleeves, joining in alongside a maintenance crew as they clean up a fluid spill in a crawlspace. Milch remains in serious condition, and still hasn't regained consciousness. His inclusion in the video montage may indeed be a contingency. As the video clips fade out, Mahayhay seems to take a few beats to find her voice again, blinking away tears. "Today is a day for all of us, living and dead. The dead, to be set to rest. The living, to grieve and find a way, forward together. Our departed will be set in Union's roll of the fallen, remembered side-by-side with Union Navy spacers in the history of this conflict." There is another long pause. She salutes the fallen, as do all the MSMC spacers. "That is all I have to say," she adds, softly, and steps down.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
