A human smile, that cursed human smile. Even as pulse blasts turned his comrades into mist beside him, Felix stared at the young soldier's grin. Unable to comprehend the reaction, he struggled to understand how this human could appear so joyful amidst brutal combat for survival. Private Liam Thompson dashed through the dense jungle of Planet Daxam, artillery shells raining down from the perpetually overcast sky, explosions shaking the ground. He had lost his squad, all 12 men, to a Daxamite ambush. His heart raced not from fear but from pure adrenaline, knowing he alone remained to accomplish their critical sabotage mission. Failure meant thousands of human soldiers would perish in the coming assault, slaughtered by orbital defense batteries. He had to succeed, no matter the cost. Thompson bounded over fallen logs, sliding down muddy embankments, footsteps and alien shouts echoing behind him as the Daxamite platoon gave chase.
