It wasn’t like I was planning to stay in Vegas. Hell, I wasn’t even supposed to be on the trip.

And now this.

A delay, a joke, a mistake – well, I guess you could say a few mistakes – and we end up changing history. Changing fucking history, man!

Orders came through just like always. Couple of platoons of us, lightly armed, just a routine mission, they said. Pack up for a week away, and be prepared for desert action. Out over the Mojave, like as not, from where we was based. Well, soon as we heard that, I knew I was out of it. I’d never had no desert training, and at this point in my godforsaken career I wasn’t likely to get it. Suited me. Let them get on with it, poor bastards.
