Run。”
Lorenzo sat back; turned the words over in his head; tried to find an argument against accepting
them; and smiled。 “Yes;” he said。 “I like it too。”
“So;” said Braxton; “what do you say; Long Run? Ready to move off?”
“I thought you wanted to sleep。”
“I feel okay now。 More than okay。 I think we should get some distance under our belts; while
things are quiet。”

Lorenzo nodded。 “Maybe Rogar hasn’t covered over the paths we cut through the jungle yet。
We’re not likely to run into any more orks for a while。 I reckon we can make this return trip in three
days—less; if we hustle。”
“I guess that depends;” said Braxton; getting to his feet; “on how hard Rogar III tries to stop us。”
“Whatever it does;” said Lorenzo; straightening his bandana; “we’ll deal with it。 We have to。
We’ve got a story to take back。 The other squads; the other platoons; they’ll be back from fighting
orks by now; probably razed a few settlements。 They’ll want to know how we got on; if any of it
was worth the sweat。 We have to warn them about Rogar。 We have to tell them what it is; what
they’re doing to it。”
“You think it’ll change anything?” asked Braxton。
Lorenzo shook his head。 He remembered something Old Hardhead had said; on the morning
they’d set out from the encampment。 “Best thing we could do now would be to leave this world
alone。 That’s all it wants。 But the Imperium won’t leave as long as the orks are here; and the orks
won’t leave until we do。 Neither side can afford to turn its back on the other; so we’ll just keep
fighting。”
“Over nothing;” said Braxton。
“Over nothing。” Lorenzo agreed。 “And in the meantime; our violence will breed violence in turn。
They only started calling Rogar III a deathworld a month ago。 You have to wonder; what will it be
like in another month? A year? A decade?”
“I don’t know;” said Braxton; “but I’m counting on being around to find out。”
Lorenzo grinned。 “Look forward to it。”
Then; like Sly Marbo before them; they disappeared into the jungle together; in near…total
silence。 They left only the faintest footprints to suggest that either of them had ever been here。 And;
a few minutes later; the deathworld had erased even them。
