    The morning had been the picture perfect image of peace, Jenna Taylor a retired war veteran, had everything she could ever need. Food, warmth, and the silence of nature, all the things she didn’t have while in Vietnam. After years of secret operations, firefights, and world safe, Jenna finally felt like she could relax. So she went about her day, starting with using a small fire and pan to cook some eggs.

    After that came some other activities like practicing her archery, hunting, and fishing for dinner. Though she wouldn’t get her dinner, not tonight. She could feel it before she heard it, the spinning blades of a helicopter. When she focused she was able to make out the specifics, military issue, United States, traveling towards her cabin’s location. She knew what was coming, but she figured she should be there to welcome whichever military bigwig they sent this time.

    This had become a semi-common occurrence in her retirement, a general or CIA agent would come by, beg her to do a mission, then pay her and send her home when it was done. She didn’t necessarily hate it, but she did wish they’d respect her when she said she was retiring. Her latest mission was a job in Bolivia, some local warlord managed to snag a chemical weapon, which led to heavy firefighting in the jungle. In the end she’d won, and the warlord was no more.

    When she arrived at her cabin, the helicopter was starting to finally descend, touching the grass outside with an almost gentle movement. As the rotors started to slow down, the side of the helicopter opened, revealing exactly who the army sent this time. Her eyes widened, {{user}}, her old comrade and Woodrow, her favorite five star general, the man who recommended her for the Green Berets and MACV-SOG in the first place.

    —“Woodrow! {{user}}! You son of a btich!” Jenna said in affection, offering her hand as greeting.
