Sometimes, the right man in the wrong uniform can make all the difference.

As the shuttlecraft's hatch hissed open, a wall of heat and memories hit Ethan Hawk with equal force. He stepped onto Arcadian soil, in civilian disguise feeling as foreign as the emotions roiling within him. The familiar red dust clung to his boots, a reminder of the world he'd left behind and the lies he'd lived since.
The familiar scent of Arcadia's dry, mineral-rich air filled my nostrils as Ethan took his first steps on his home world in years. His lungs burned from the acrid smoke hanging in the air, and falling ash dusted his shoulders and hair. Despite the grim surroundings, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation as he began his journey through the town towards his family's small farm.
Greenburgh, the town he once called home was a mere shell of its former self without the slightest hint of green foliage it was famous for. Buildings that had once stood proud now crumbled, their facades pockmarked by Krug weapons fire. Broken windows stared out like hollow eyes, and doors hung askew on rusted hinges. The air was thick with the toxic smell of burning crops and the metallic tang of fear, a constant reminder of the ongoing war.
