Risk Extermination: There is not anything to translate. (There is not anything to translate. #1)
by Adrián GonzalezChapter 1 I make a triumphal entry into the first room of the headquarters. Headquarters of the platoon two four five, in the Earth space. Although the operation was on a large scale banishing of the Tungs migration from the moon, the soldiers welcome me cheerfully, acclaiming only my name. I knew that the rumor would spread quickly and I kept hearing the exaggerated murmurs of the feat. "They say he killed over a hundred Tungs and destroyed the fort on his own," I heard one say.

In two hours we will pay our respects to the fallen and to our hero commemorated with three medals. We saluted loudly, they gave the order to break formation and we moved to our rooms. Mine was empty, I had lost my three companions, lifelong friends where we shared everything. The sadness came from the depths derailing through the eyes. Pietro had fallen in the first week,
