A Rheinland Story

[Sunset Glow]

Sandra stood in her room after a long day. Hadn't she been here before, earlier today? The window showed the open space and the light of the nearby sun. She had been out in space again today, after she had landed at Offenbach outpost. There she met Johannes and Klaus again, the two who found and saved her from the military.

Speaking of which, today held some very disturbing relevations about the doings of the military. She knew the military were trained professionals, she herself was to become one of them. But now the thought disgusted her and she wanted nothing to do with the military again at all. Trained professional was one thing but ruthless murder of women and children... that was the work of monsters. It pained Sandra to hear about it and witness the pain it caused to one of her two saviors. She felt regret that she had flown among the military, even if only a short while, at all..

The military wasn't the only thing she understood better today, the red hessian movement also became a lot clearer to her. Now she understood what was happening in Rheinland and why, only the war with liberty was still a mystery to her. She had warmed up with the hessians quickly, much faster than she anticipated. Although she did not support all of their methods, she understood and sympathized with their cause.

The last moment of understanding today came as Sandra spoke with Johannes Claus outside of Offenbach and he spoke of his past and what was done to him. That was one moment, where Sandra was so shaken and sad that she shedded tears as well, she had never thought the military could be so cruel and ruthless. But as it is, she was mistaken and it was time to face and accept it.

After refreshing in her quarters bathroom, Sandra went to bed and pulled the blanket over herself. She could still see the orange light from the sun through the window and it accompanied her as she went to sleep after a long day.
