How can we know where we are if the sun is behind us?
Mallorie huffed a little in exertion once the gate went up; they’d done good work without any injuries or serious mishaps. She nodded at the group and felt a little proud that she’d been part of something that left a lasting mark on Halo, even if it was just a gate. It might not be beautiful, but it was solid and strong. An imposing sentinel - fitting for Halo.
At Morgan’s final command, she accepted her list of names and read them intently. It was a gesture she thought would be appreciated - those who died in the defence of Halo now being part of its protection. She didn’t know the guards who came before her, but seeing their names was...a strange weight to bear.
“It should at least be some comfort that they’ll be remembered.” She said, thoughtfully.
Then she took to her work, endeavouring to inscribe each name as clearly and carefully as possible.
