In Their Own Story

The static of the comms channel crackled before resolving into General Vex’s cold visage, projected onto the smoky wall of a ruined command post. 'Sectors 4 through 9 are compromised,' his voice echoed without emotion, ignoring the tremor in the lieutenant's hand. 'Scrub them clean.' The hologram flickered as power surged, casting long shadows over the Vex insignia etched into the metal floor.
