<p class="MsoNormal">“How many did we get?" The captain asked the second officer, looking at the pair Sleeford could see the disappointment on both faces. The lose of life would be horrendous </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Fifteen.” The answer shocked Sleeford, he realised that they had been ‘enemies’ but the extinction of that many lives made him feel sad.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Walking it he could see the 15 survivors in a cluster, all shouting at once, placing two fingers in his mouth he let out a piercing whistle, as the noise slowly died down he faced the crowd.</p>
