Harbinger/4

Minestorm
Five more days passed. The promised dropships had already begun evacuating, and Daniel sighed with relief that he would be one of the first to get off the planet, courtesy of his rank as an albeit important Staff Sergeant. The only staff sergeant still on the planet was Raynor, and he seemed to have a bone to pick with the Zerg... The civilians got out next, thickly packed one hundred to a dropship without anything else aboard.

Daniel grinned grimly at several technical workers laboring to attach an add-on compartment to one of the newly landed dropships. Time was running out for them all, all 40,000 or so civilians. And the military would be the last to get off this rock.
