[ WP ] The last soldier of a once great empire sits alone in a small room . There is a knock on the door . Two men in uniforms have come for him .

`` Jeffrey, You know the cost if we fail'' The Sergeant picks up his rifle and reloads it. 
 
 `` I am well aware with what were dealing with'' The boisterous squire armors up his forcefield and walks to the door. 
 
 They were in a run down village on the edge of a terraformed moon. New intel had just come in from one of the Malcontents that there was one more soldier left here. They just got sent in as a forward advance in case everything went to plan, but a five-star fleet stood just inside FTL communications range. 
 
 `` Well, No time like the present'' The Sergeant wipes sweat off his brow and heads to the door. The Squire looks back at the small crowd of natives who were looking at them. They nod with their warped head, and they head inside. 
 
 `` Ah, Who's there,'' The man in the corner of the room said. He was blind, old, and had no weapons, but both of the men knew, he could destroy this entire village. 
 
 `` Hello,'' The Sergeant said nervously as the squire held up the gun and armed it to kill. `` I am Sergeant Lucas Talil, I have come to bring you into retirement'' The squire continued to hold the gun up, finger primed on the trigger. 
 
 `` Retirement, Eh'' The old man stood up and sighed `` I knew this day would come'' He grabbed a walking stick and slowly went around the room. 
 
 `` It has been decreed,'' The squire said. The Sergeant looked at him and signalled him to be quiet. 
 
 `` Decreed? By who? So many empires have passed in my time I can hardly keep track'' He smiled as he walked over and picked up a rather large bag. 
 
 `` The Trident Empire. Established in 3063 under the noble guise of our emperor'' The Sergeant looked at the Squire in terror. The drugs made him fearless, but also made him an idiot. 
 
 The old man walked closer and close to them `` You smell of modifications, its in your breath, the slight tinge of adrenaline. Are you scared of me?'' He asked the squire, who did not reply `` Nevertheless, you were actually brave enough to face me, so I will come quietly'' He threw the bag at the Sergeant who stumbled back from the weight. `` Also you can put the gun away, it would n't work on me anyway'' 
 
 He leaves the small hut and the Sergeant picked up the bag. The squire put his gun away and helped him with the bag. `` What do you think is in here?'' 
 
 `` I have no idea, sir'' They carried the bag outside and saw the old man talking to a group of kids gathered around him. The ship was hovering above them as the ramp lowered silently. 
 
 `` This way,'' The Sergeant says, sincerely. 
 
 He looked at the ship, patted one of the kids on the head and walked toward the ship, taping his stick to find his way. He got onto the ramp and as it rose he shouted out to the kids once more. `` Do n't cry, I will be back soon'' The ramp closed and the ship glided out of the atmosphere.
