Enthusiasm

TTY31208.01.18

Once a week as a clan we try to get together to participate in war games to keep our skills sharp. This week our head of recruitment decided to do something extra ordinary. We all got in our “Friday Best”, headed out to the exact point we all started as recruits, and that’s when the fun began. Several people chipped in for the prize. A prize to be won by the first person to run to the staging point in Palisades. 

Many took different routes because we weren’t wearing our normal armor. We had to run by Thrax which if given the opportunity could kill us in a few shots. Many used “drafting” techniques to allow runners in front of them to get hit and then run by safely. I myself used it in Divide as we passed a bane hunting patrol party on the road near Foxtrot. When we finally reached Palisades many took different routes. My route was simple, I pushed toward the southern edge, then back up to fithik trench. Once at the trench, this was the hardest leg of the run. Many of us were neck and neck, I made it out in front with a little adrenaline left to push into the lead. I had the cave in my sights when all of a sudden out of nowhere Consequence jumps off the mountain and heads directly into the cave. Over radio channels people were screaming. People could hear me saying “HOW?!? Where did he come from?”. I lost the race by mere seconds, about 8 second to be exact. It was a fun event and built up the spirits of our troops. I’m looking forward to what our officers come up with next week.
