Just when I thought they couldn’t get more careless and desperate. The Southern Cross attacked a major metro area, Kansas City. I was deployed in defense but it was a suicide mission for the pilot. He detonated his core, killing himself, knocking me back into a skyscraper and nuking half the city.
It was impossible to know the death toll. I just avoid the news now. There’s no point in worrying about it. It will just bring me down.

One year ago, Dad said he’d get me out. He’d fix everything. This morning, I was allowed one phone call to my next of kin. I heard my mother’s voice, but she was crying.
Dad killed himself.
Apparently, it got out that I was the pilot involved in the Kansas City disaster. He got a lot of hate, a lot of death threats. It broke him.
I just... didn’t feel anything. I thought I’d burst into tears or fall to the ground crying. But... I was just numb. I told my mom I was sorry and that she should just forget about me from now on.
I have instructed the mail service to return all letters to me.

The enemy has grown more and more desperate. The only people left are the radicals who are too indoctrinated to ever be persuaded to end their endeavors. And that’s what makes me nervous. The suicide bombing was a change. Will every pilot I face now be ready to blow himself up? If that’s the case, then my death is almost assured. A year has passed and now I can call myself a true veteran. Not many survive active combat duty as long as I have.
