Recon Module: The Gauntlet

 Recon Module: The Gauntlet

A recording from Euclid, Alpha Squad Leader:

Within the Clockworks we can afford little sleep. Hostiles are around every corner and many of the environments are unsuitable for camp.

But when sleep comes, I find myself dreaming more than I ever have before. In my dreams I see Cradle, slowly turning and drifting throught the stars. I see the patches of its varying terrain unfold and stretch across the stars like an enormous quilt. It is an oddly comforting dream, to see a world unravel itself...

But then I wake, and the chaos of the Clockworks engulfs me once more; the groans of its ever-turning cogs and howls of the terrible beasts that call it home echoing everywhere.

I hope to return one day to the surface, to a sun, to a place where peace is more than a fleeting dream.
