“A soldier once killed a STAR.”— Viktor
There's a story they tell in resistance bars, quiet, like a prayer: a soldier once killed a STAR.
Understand what that means. STARs are bulletproof. STARs punch through walls. Nations build their militaries around the fact that you cannot fight one. And one man, with no powers, no artifact, and no explanation, put one in the ground.
That man is on the crew. Viktor doesn't talk about how he did it. The honest truth is that Viktor doesn't know how he did it. Something happened when he got close. Something flickered.
The Chronicle
I
No Record
People who document him tend to disappear. This is the first and only thing said in any file that mentions him. Most do not survive printing.
II
The Work
What is known: he has never failed a mission. What is unknown: everything else. He is the kind of man that wars produce and then forget to bury.
III
The Choice
He is still here. He is still working. And he has not yet decided whose side he is on — only what he is willing to do.
He is the kind of man wars produce and then forget to bury.
