    briefing. He was our new commanding officer, replacing General Tainer. Our former general had moved on to a new rank and was riding a desk at mission planning. He now wore two stars on his collar and blamed me for getting him promoted. “Yes, sir. Who is my point of contact with the Praetorian Guard?” “Your POC will be here this afternoon to discuss the mission with you.” “May I inquire as to why my unit was chosen for this mission, sir?” The general actually started laughing. “Drake, you got selected for this because of more than a hundred combat medals, including three Imperial Medals of Honor, in ten years. You were chosen when the Praetorian Guard asked for my best battalion. I had no choice.” “Sir, my battalion will earn your faith.” “Go get your men ready. You have a free hand for equipment requests. Dismissed.” I walked across the compound, listing the equipment we would need. I wanted my battalion upgraded to the new insert communication bobs. I also wanted all my men to have the new self-adhering breathing filters. I might as well use a free hand to get the equipment we needed. I was not even startled when a tall black-haired woman fell in step beside me. She wore the dress black and grey of the Praetorian Guard. “Colonel Daemon?” “Yes, ma’am.” “We need to talk.

I will need to know the security arrangements, so I can brief my command staff.” “The crown prince is traveling to Ryslan IV to meet his betrothed for the first time. The Lady Astalynn Rythan Melcoir is to be escorted by her personal guard. We will greet her at the space port and take over her security while she is with the prince. Your job is to maintain security on a two kilometer perimeter from our location.” “Disposition orders?” “Any threat is to be neutralized on identification.” We arrived at my office. I was seldom here. My job was with the men, not behind a desk. I motioned for the woman to take a seat. “Is there anything I should know about the situation?” “Be ready for anything, and expect everything.” We talked for several hours as I made a list of the equipment my men would need. This mission should be a cake walk. I was taking in equipment as if we were being dropped into hell. A week later, our carrier sent our landing shuttles in. These were bigger and slower than a fast drop shuttle, but they carried more men and equipment. I started the men moving out. Our first priority was securing the space port itself.
