"The universe is indifferent to your endeavors and is not obligated to be."
-Jonathan Hoerscht, Supreme Commander, Novian Armed Forces The radio broadcasts had been running for about a month detailing the newly formed "Unified Dominion Armed Forces." Per the broadcasts, they were going to, "unite the world of Dominion under one banner, and repel those who would hurt her." It all seemed silly to Keith, until he saw the convoy. In the mid-day heat, he watched the column of trucks drive by. Each was filled to the brim with troops, singing songs and beckoning passersby to join up. The energy of it was intoxicating. Keith looked over his shoulder at the boss' house. As best he could tell, no one of authority was watching. Not a moment later, he'd hopped the fence and was running to catch up with the rear-most truck. Not his smartest move, perhaps, but it'd certainly be interesting.
