The gavel echoes.
Murmurs fade. The Senator lays the gavel aside, adjusts the microphone before him, clears his throat. His eyes meet those of the elderly man seated at the long table before the panel. "Please continue, Mr. Richards."
The old man draws a deep breath. "As you know, my daughter and Parker Haynes were the first. Haynes died in the hospital, but my daughter..."
"Mr. Richards," the Senator interrupts, "you're aware that every soldier in the program fully understands the risks before volunteering. I'm extremely sorry for your loss, but no one could have anticipated..."
"When you play God, Senator," the old man says, his voice steady, "you must anticipate every possibility."

Private Kayla Richards's eyes opened to bare slits against the pain in her gut. Wisps of smoke wafted across her field of vision, and she noted vaguely a stench akin to barbecue. Machinery clattered in the distance while muted voices droned nearby. Blue sky began to bleach white in the pain. She licked swollen lips, tried to call Parker's name. She felt a hand lift her head, a click at the base of her skull, a tugging at the tube in her chest. She groaned, and the sky consumed her in a chilling rush.
