Colonel Ariadne Wodin did not think much of her assignment at first.
As a proud branch member of the Wodin Dynasty, she dedicated her life to serve in the armed forces of the Hegemony.
There was a time when she was a young and brash mech officer. She eagerly piloted mechs and enjoyed taking charge of other women.
Those days were behind her. While she sharpened herself in battle, the Hex Army remained stubbornly in place.
While she took part in plenty of practice sessions and interdivisional war games, the falseness of it all grated on her. The hundreds of thousands of mechs she blew up consisted of virtual bits. The opponents she fought against were other Hexers.
This was not what she wanted out of her mech piloting career. She yearned to take the fight against the Coalition, smash its glorious mech armies and drive the Hegemony's stake right through its heart!
