Episode Details

Every year since Earth burned, the last human garrison at the edge of space sends its eighteen-year-old boys out in small fighting boats to strike the enemy every child aboard is taught to blame. In thirty years, not one boy has come back. Not one has sent home so much as a bone.

No one aboard has ever seen the enemy. So the rifle instructor who trains every class gave it a face himself: a towering monster of welded scrap and stitched canvas, built from the nightmares six-year-olds draw for him. The boys grow up beneath it, beat it to pieces the night before they launch, and fly out believing they know what waits for them.

Six days before launch, his brightest cadet seals himself inside the nursery with a cutting torch, holds the flame to the oxygen line above forty sleeping children, and makes one demand. Show him the enemy. A bone. Anything at all.

The instructor has never lied to his boys. But the only honest answer he can give lies out at the end of the attack line, in the cold, where thirty years of sons have gone and no one has ever followed.
