Fighting Peacetime

Centauri invaded after they took their prisoners. They dominated Belltown until we fought back and drove them home with vengeance. We rescued the prisoners, but the cost was more than anyone predicted. Centaurians struck again with aircrafts and poisonous soldiers, trying to weaken our city before they invaded again.Engineers discovered how to make an EMP blast so focalized that it could knock an enemy plane out of the sky. It had the promise to save thousands of lives, but the only way to make it was to break Spades's trust and contact his queen. How could I go behind his back?Before I even had a chance to ask him, we were attacked by enemy soldiers. He was wounded in my place.I couldn't figure out how to protect everyone and still retain my humanity, so I abandoned the mask and realized my own corruption. I joined every other citizen trying to create peacetime. Ration thieves, enemy soldiers, everyone was just trying to survive.
