Please.’  \nThe man shook his head, but he smiled as he did so. ‘It’s late, Gus. Time for sleep.’ He put the book down, carefully avoiding the patch on the floor where rockcrete mould was beginning to eat through from the hab on the level below.  \n‘Please, papa, just one more.’ But the words were trailing away now. The father smiled again. This was his favourite time, after the day’s labour, when he watched his son drift into the safety of sleep, while he sat and watched – and kept watch.  \n‘Tomorrow, Gus. I’ll read you the tale of the angel and the dragon tomorrow.’  \n‘That’s my favourite. And the one about the wolf and the shepherd, and the knight and the orks, and the one about–’  \n‘Shhh.’ The man put his finger to his son’s lips. ‘It’s time to rest now.’The boy rolled over towards the stained wall. His breathing steadied and slowed.  \nThe man picked up the book. It was a real book, its pages of plaspaper, not a reader with lines that dissolved when it was switched off. His own father had read to him from it.  \nHe stood up. Night shift.  \nBut as he reached the door, the boy spoke.  \n‘The monsters in the stories. They’re real, aren’t they, papa?’  \nThe man stopped. He looked back to his son. The boy was still turned from him, his lean shape draped in the thin bed cover. He remembered  \nasking his own father that question.  \n‘Yes, son, they’re real.’  \nThe boy’s head moved in a sleepy nod.‘Thought so.’  \nThe man watched him settle once more. But just as he was about to leave the room again, the boy turned to him, his eyes bright with dream vision.  \n‘When I grow up, I’m going to kill monsters, just like the angel and the wolf and the knight.’  \nThe man nodded.‘Yes, son. I know you will.’  \nThe father stayed there, in the doorway, watching, as his son’s eyes closed once more and his breathing eased into sleep. As he left the room, he brushed the tear trails from his cheeks.  \nThe truck, a wheezing, rackety, barely mobile vehicle, shuddered to a halt. After five minutes, it still hadn’t started moving again. The sergeant, a veteran of the Imperial Guard who never let his cadets forget it, lifted his cap from over his eyes and peered blearily at the boys packed into the back of the truck.  \n‘If I’m thrown off schedule by some hive scum…’ Sergeant Dalcop’s eyes, which were even redder than usual following a typical late-night gettogether of the NCOs, settled on the boy sitting slightly apart from the rest by the truck’s gate.‘Cadet Augustin, this hole is your neck of the habs. Find  \nout what’s going on.’Augustin got up.  \n‘Yeah, Gussy, tell your family to lay off and get back to their habs.’The whisper was low enough not to reach Sergeant Dalcop, but Augustin heard it. He reached for the door release with one hand while removing the autopistol he had been issued for the duration of training from its holster; it would be reclaimed when their truck rolled back into the Imperial Guard barracks that served as the base for the young cadets.  \n‘Gussy’s afraid they’re going to say nasty things about him.’  \nAugustin glanced right, to the boy speaking, then opened the truck’s rear door and slipped down to the ground.  \nHe could smell the smoke as he got out.  \nIt was coming from the hab block up ahead, the smoke closing off the road. Augustin’s eyes narrowed.  \nThat was his hab block.  \nDad.  \nAugustin stepped away from the truck, heading to the hab block.‘What’s happening, Gussy? The sergeant wants to know.’  \nThe question stopped him. Made him listen. It was quiet. The lullaby of ganger battles had been almost as much a part of his childhood as his father reading to him.  \n‘What’s going on, cadet?’  \nSergeant Dalcop had dragged himself from the only comfortable seat in the truck and was now standing in the cab door.  \nSomething was wrong.
