Captain Horst approached the Infinity cautiously. His eyes constantly scanned it for any signs of movement. The tension that he felt made him ready to fire his rifle at the slightest thing that felt off.

However, the Infinity remained still as he finally came up next to it. Captain Horst looked at the hole in the chest only to see that the metal was covered in blood. When his eyes moved up to the helmet, a curious frown appeared upon his face.

"Sir! This one isn't an officer!" Captain Horst shouted out after a brief pause.

Colonel Barnes, the leader of this mission, turned his head with a curious gaze towards the Captain. 'Not an officer? Why would they waste so much on a mere cadet?'
