SCRA Recruitment Centre

[Reverend Del]

Sergey Litvenko entered the recruiting office on Zvezdny Gorodok. Snapping a salute to the Duty-Commissar he stood in front of the desk.

"Commissar I present myself, Sergey Litvenko, born 800AS here on this station. My father served for a long time with the Revolution, he fought and died for our ideals. Now, it is time for me to do the same. No more a child I give my life for the revolution to do with as it sees fit.

"My childhood has been filled with the glories of the Revolution, but I am no fool, I know it will be hard, I understand that a soldiers work is never done. I understand , also, that the standard issue kit for a new recruit is somewhat akin to being wrapped in a paper towel and flung out of the airlock with nothing but a flashlight. I accept this.

"From this day forth I wish to pledge myself to fighting for our ideals, to spread the glorious Coalition message to the entirety of Sirius. If that requires making examples of them, then so be it. "

Sergey relaxed, just a little. But before he could relax too much, the Commissar's look made Sergey straighten up.

Inside he was quaking, he had waited for this moment for most of the life he could remember. His father had always glorified the coalition army. what it did, and the victories it had won, although Sergey understood that if his father had been right then the Coalition would own Sirius. Nevertheless the goal was to own Sirius and even if his father had failed to be a part of a Coalition army that had achieved that goal, Sergey was determined to fulfill his father's wishes.
