Passing of the Torch

[Robert Bruce Scott]

...but then you had to drop in the foreshadowing...

You would have to pick up on that - I breezed right over it... And I've recently been reading a UT story with a number of re-activated reservists...

I was just about to feel happy for those two clearly tired veterans finally finding some peace but then you had to drop in the foreshadowing:

Barring an emergency reservist activation, which hasn’t happened in almost a century, yes.

At lest they'll have a few quiet years together first ...

The Dominion War won't happen for another 20+ years, and I can assure you that both Cavanaugh and Morozov were only peripherally involved in that conflict. Both they, and their farm, survived.

That is a beautiful ending.

The perfect coda to this tale. Nicely done, and thank you.
