On the second morning after the main force of the Cadman People's Army stationed in Shadow Valley, Major Ron rose early, completing the morning assembly with the soldiers as required by the Exploration Corps' military orders. After some simple training and task allocation, the major received his breakfast.
By continental standards, the training level of the Exploration Corps soldiers is exceedingly high.
Their daily training intensity far exceeds the general level of this era, yet at the moment, Major Ron, holding a bowl of oatmeal and a few bagels, looks helplessly at the clearing in the valley, as the People's Army continues its training.
Even though they're only running around the platform, the neat formations and sporadic slogan chants during runs give the major some concern.
