SEPTEMBER 7TH 1500 HOURS The planet was a rock. No surprise there. I think Pace is taking all this far too seriously. Once the scouting was done we played a bit of football down there. We all needed a bit of fun to break the tension and forget the futility of all this. Pace just stood watching us the whole time. I didn’t think it was possible for one man to look quite so pissed off. I can never figure that guy out. As a unit commander he’s never steered us wrong but when I look in his eyes I feel like he’d kill us all if he could get away with it.
