Caleb Harrison is haunted by the past as he readies himself for the missions to determine his future. Caleb woke with a sudden jerk, yelling out loud. It was just the dream. Only the dream, he kept telling himself. He took several minutes to calm himself and remember where he was. Soon Caleb realized he must have dozed off doing maintenance checks on his Volsung Mechanized Armor. He cursed himself for being so lax, still trying to shake the awful feelings of his recurring nightmare.
