Today is Memorial Day in the United States, ostensibly a day to honor those who died during military service, though it seems to mostly be an excuse for cookouts. I didn't serve in the American army, but I did fight alongside plenty of American soldiers during World War IV, many of whom didn't survive.

How many others here have been in the military? Whether it's the American armed forces or a military that doesn't even exist here, I'm sure we've all lost comrades. I'm going to visit some of the cemeteries around Maurtia Falls and put flowers on the graves of soldiers who may not have surviving families. Maybe you'd like to join me, or do the same in your city of choice.

Of course.

[He was thinking more… memorialization. Something none of them had expected, hoped for, were driven by. Cassian wasn't even sure he was comfortable with the idea of anyone remembering his own name.

But the others. No report had been filed before or after. They might be able to have deduced the exact team, but more likely… only Cassian, in either world, knew all their names, what they'd chosen, what they'd joined together to become.

He didn't want to be the sole keeper or reminder of them. They hadn't expected more, but they deserved more.]


I wonder if there's… any space they might… be willing to give us. imPorts. A place to commemorate ones we won't see again.

That's good advice, I'll follow it. Thank you. I'll let you know if anything comes of it.
