The sky was dark, illuminated only by the light of street lamps.
In the silent night, all that could be heard were the orderly footsteps, as if heralding the morning's chimes.
At the assembly ground, the male soldiers were already gathered. Two groups lined up together, listening to Ella Pemberton read the division of groups and then promptly aligning themselves into rows with their respective teams.
Six people to a group.
Flossie Wright's luck wasn't great; she was assigned to a group with individuals she hadn't interacted with before.
The only interaction was during training when she would occasionally dominate them.
Luckily, they were all sensible. Although their looks towards her were a bit peculiar, the sentiment was mostly one of resignation, and none of them caused a fuss about being grouped with her.
As usual, as soon as the groupings were done, the helicopter was ready, specifically descending onto the field to collect them.
