Sauron, tired of the various proud speeches of his compatriots, left for Hangar Five, which he hadn't been back to since he'd been resurrected. He knew something was... different. As the cargo bots finished loading the Dirigible Incorrigilbe and he finished checking over the new armor Lord Saladin had had commisioned for him in the other room, he turned toward his ship, and the empty hangar.

His old unit was there, in parade dress. The original Easy Company; the best combat infantry group in the entire system. That's what he'd told them before the first battle. There were three things that were very odd about this.

The first is that Easy was almost see-through. The second was that they didn't look a day older than the last day he'd seen them, 500 years ago.

The third was that they were all dead, and he knew that, but as he walked to his ship, every single one of them shook his hand. He reached the back hatch and turned around. They saluted him as it closed. Then they disappeared.

Sauron launched his jumpship.
