An Imperfect Utopia

---

While this war has been defined by many battles, it has also been defined by betrayal and espionage. The betrayal of Artifex Zaviel cost us most of Pelladane, but to me the most painful was the betrayal of the residents of Dolcega Valley. Many of whom I had known personally. For them to willingly go over to the Legion was a vicious attack against us. I had assigned Sergeant Bellup, who had been raised in Dolcega, to investigate what had become of them under Crucia's reign. He has not been seen since.

Sergeant Bellup was one of our best. It's a damn shame that he went like that, transformed into livestock. Those traitors in Dolcega bought a lifetime of slavery with their treachery. They may have gotten what they deserved, but I hope each and every one of them ends up in that stockade. It's good to see you again, [%NAME]. While the queen has been doing what she can to protect her people, we here of Fifth Company are doing the dirty work necessary to win this war against the Legion.
