"See you tomorrow lieutenant."  she said and waved as she left.  The next morning it was time for action, and int he early morning light the rumble of her tanks diesels engines could be heard even as she approached it before her driver threw her hatch open and waved.  "Come on sleepy head the infantry are already on their way."  Once she was up they had to go to their tank and get rolling.  Vladivostok was waiting, and so was the war.<br/><br/>There was a push on her shoulder and a voice called.  'lieutenant, Come on Ma'am wake up."  It was her driver and her aid, still rubbing sleep out of her eyes herself she was trying to wake Seraph.  They were supposed to be going with the second wave of tanks and infantry and they would be leaving in only an hour.<br/>--------------------<br/>"No, we're going to take a nice stroll through the streets of Vladivostok."  Someone elbowed her.  "Hey."  She rubbed her arm.<br/>"Yes,"  Her sergeant said.  "We're going on the attack.  "You seem like a nice tough girl.  lets see if you hold up under fire."  The squad went and formed up with the rest of the company, before they were loaded on top trucks in the early light of the morning and driven to within sight of Vladivostok, before they offloaded and began to march, and then, the unmistakable and terrifying whistle of shells began to fill the sky above them.
