A Line in the Sand: 3

The time for rumors has ended. At Fort Horizon, the order has been signed, and a line has been drawn in the sand. PFC Liam O'Connell, Major Walker, and Staff Sergeant Chavez find themselves caught in a frenzy of preparation, balancing the technical demands of a deployment with the raw, emotional weight of saying goodbye. As the unit transitions from the safety of the base to an unknown destination, the families left behind face their own silent crises, proving that the home front is its own kind of battlefield.Upon arrival in-country, the mission is not what was promised. Split into specialized teams, Captain Reed and his platoon are assigned classified tasks that trigger deep suspicion. While CW2 Alex Chen flies risky reconnaissance over a seemingly peaceful landscape, First Sergeant Thompson discovers a hidden agenda buried within their orders. The "peacekeeping" facade is about to shatter, and the first report from the field will change the Guardian Corps forever.
