Quote: "Arktalus" from the novel Evenfall of the Helical (A.Glass 2022)
“An assassination?” Professor Eptson asks.
“Yes, like the last mission. It is all that was left, as a military protocol, internally. Were these rogue elements which were thought would destabilize what little order we had left.”
“And what did you believe?”
“It was, at the time, a necessity, the target for my last mission was a failed actor who, once again, formed a doomsday cult, holed up in large apartment block in the old city. They couldn't order a surgical strike, too many civilians, innocents. So, my unit was sent called in, because of the success of the last mission...”
“Was it a success Master Zelac?” The Professor asks with a grin.
Zelac closes his eyes, “That flash of light. I've seen nothing like it.”
“Thermonuclear explosion,”
Master Zelac nods without replying."
