 The rear elements of the infantry are in sight now. They look like dung beetles in their hard
suits, crawling backward beneath a rain of shrapnel. I am within range of their low-power
communications net. "Hold what you got, troops," orders the unit's acting commander. "Big
Brother's come to help!"
I am not Big Brother. I am Maldon, a Mark XXX Bolo of the 3rd Battalion, Dinochrome
Brigade. The lineage of our unit goes back to the 2nd South Wessex Dragoons. In 1944, we broke
the last German resistance on the path to FalaiseтАФthough we traded our flimsy Cromwells
against the Tigers at a ration of six to one to do it.
The citizens do not need to know what the cost is. They need only to know that the mission
has been accomplished. The battle honors welded to my turret prove that I have always
accomplished my mission.

"Shit," Captain McNaught said.
The map room of Firebase Villa had been dug into the soft friable rock with explosives, then
topped with sheet steel and sandbags. It smelled of sweat and bad coffee and electronic
components, and the sandbags in the dog-leg entrance were still ripped where a satchel chargeтАФa
stick grenade in a three-pound ball of plastiqueтАФhad been thrown during the attack six months
ago.
"Captain?" the communications specialist said.
