Poor Strosser. He seemed like one of the sensible ones, too. Should have defected while he had the chance.
Poor Keyop, when these guys have a bad day at work it's a pretty bad day. At least he didn't get shot at! Interested to hear more about the true story this was based on.

Yes, I'd like to know more about the real life situation, too! Very interesting to see the enemies cooperating for a change...and you've made it believable since they were both fighting against "Mother Nature". Poor Keyop...glad he was ok!

Thank you so much!!!!
I agree Strosser should have defected, knowing what's coming. Keyop's lucky he found his way to the village. I'm sure he's going to hold it over their heads for a while.
First - I also would love to hear the story that this is based on....
Strosser really should have taken the opportunity provided by the truce to change sides. He could have proven valuable as an ally. And poor Keyop... How will the others ever make it up to him?
I guess the Buggy is definitely not made for snow! I agree that Stosser should have defected. Unfortunately, I think Spectra would probably put a hit on him if he did .
This sounds like a lot of stories I've heard from WWII where officers on both sides worked together for a common good.

I would like to hear the real story. I think you may be right, Kritter.
No doubt throughout history, there have been good, decent and competent commanders who had to serve under megalomaniacal tyrants. Could be that Strosser loves Spectra, if not all its leadership, and has family there he fears to leave behind?
Christmas Day, 1914 British and German troops lay down arms, entered 'No man's land' and played a game of football (soccer), as recreated by this ad (If it plays outside of the UK)

A gentleman's truce. Sadly, that would never work in today's world.

I agree that Strosser seems much more level-headed than I would expect. I'd like to see more about what happened to him (hoping he wriggled his way out of it) when he returned home... and thought about how sensible Mark was in comparison to Zoltar.

I've got a confession to make -- the "true story" I referred to is not the Christmas truce (although I liked it that you thought so!) but the eruption of the Icelandic volcano in 2010, that stopped air transport in Europe for about a week.
Sssh DT, you should totally just say yes, it was the Christmas truce!! *grin*

It's still a true story.
