Ellar had known Blue through several campaigns on Earth. Notoriously known for appearing under boot, the wolf grew into a peculiar mascot for the Severna Guard, and proved to be a good friend. The Scorpion Grenadiers liked him most, offering a few beers, place to sleep, or something else. They had let Blue drive an Indian once. After the brief search and rescue of the vehicle's burning carcass a couple minutes later, they found him sleeping in the snow.
Ellar pulled a tubing of Life Savers from his vest pocket and popped one in his mouth. "I may have shot you, but you have fur to cover it up, ya goofey wolf." He glanced at his watch. "Colonel-High Marshall is sending out a picket to pick me up. Storm dropped alot of snow, he's probably sending tanks with dozer blades."
"You know, when we get done with Earth, we're probably leaving to go somewhere else. Why don't you come with us? The universe is an expansive thing that these 'Earthlings' wont see for a while, you'd like it, maybe through some miracle attract a girl."

Book settled into his beach blanket and watched Onixiya. "People call me Book. It's nice to meet you Onixiya."
