Ride The Rising Tide (The Maxwell Saga) - Plot & Excerpts
January–March 2839, Galactic Standard Calendar The first day of in–processing at the Fleet Recruit Depot was a nightmare of bellowed orders from seemingly infuriated instructors, desperate attempts by the recruits to do something — anything! — to placate the vengeful demons yelling at them, and… running. They double–timed everywhere, sometimes from one place to another, other times running in place while they waited for admission to the next processing station. Steve half–expected to be told to run in place even while using the restroom facilities — which he rapidly learned were to be referred to only as ‘the heads’, on pain of the instructors’ instant and highly vocal displeasure. Moving between reception stations was an adventure in itself. Recruits tried to stay in formation as they ran, but hadn’t yet learned to keep in step with one another. Many couldn’t help bumping into each other, causing their platoons to lurch from place to place like bulging, endlessly shape–shifting amoebas.
