In fact, most of the rank-and-file that were assigned to this mission had only been given enough information to complete their own task, and had been strictly ordered to "keep their heads down and only worry about their own assignment."

Chapter End Notes:Chances are there's a few formatting, spelling, and/or grammar errors, but as I said above, I'm simply too tired to care right now. I'll be back later to check, but for now I'm just glad to have finally finished it and gotten it online.

For now, at least, my lips are sealed
