Today I had to kill my friend Larry. One of the few people I actually knew from before the war. We use to go to school together and play baseball in the same team. Larry was always the nerdy type with his head in books, talking about genetic abnormalities and how humans were in the brink of a new evolution. He was a good friend. After high school I lost contact with Larry, he went to some prestigious college up in NYC to study genetics last I heard.

Next time I ever saw Larry was in the battlefield, as I was patrolling foxtrot. Except he wasn't a fellow AFS solider, he was a damn Machina. I knew it was him behind the cold dead look he had. I hesitated, my mistake since he didn’t. Before I knew it I was thrown back by his blast, landing only a few meters from him. He was not Larry, not anymore. I gritted my teeth and did what I had to do. I killed my friend Larry.

Damn bane killed everyone we knew and now they have us killing our own too. I shall not stand for this, WE should not stand for this. Let's put an end to it, the AFS way
