Zachari's scream pierced the chaos as the codon blast tore into his insectoid body, green blood spilling onto the war-torn dirt of Planet Zaphira. The young alien soldier knew he was doomed as his Zhiran squad retreated under heavy fire, leaving him abandoned. But then, a human silhouette emerged through the smoke: Sergeant Jake Thompson, an Earth Alliance medic. Sprinting through enemy lasers to Zachari's side, Jake's calm, skilled hands worked to slow the bleeding and dress the horrific wound. He couldn't leave Zachari behind, not after everything they'd been through together. Making a split-second decision, Jake hoisted Zachari up in a fireman's carry, grunting with effort. Despite the dense exoskeleton, Jake pressed on, navigating the maze of craters and rubble with determination.
