Pasha's Jeep reached the edge of New HangZhou, a monument to the past, a dead city that stank like a tomb. It was climbing towards nightfall, but he couldn't spare the time to rest and wait. He needed to press on, reach the airport and maybe be able to get off the god forsaken rock before something shot and ate him.

He accelerated when he spied a lone figure walking alone the road, turning at the sound of his approach, lifting her weapon...

Pasha swerved the Jeep to a stop, standing in the seat, his hands up.

"Sub-Lieutenant Lachina?" he called, with a rough looking smile. "Get in, I need someone to ride shotgun."

He nodded to her as he slid back down into his seat, turning the engine back on. She looked a little feral, considering the ordeal that JiangXi was on all recruits. He nodded, "you are the Officer, Ma'am, I am just a soldier. What are your orders, ma'am?"
