OOC: Alaska should have 4 trade, not 2.
IC:
Cold.
That was the first thing the soldier noticed: deathly, unnatural,
cold.
The Soldier, a man by the name of Jeovani Jontelle, was a native of Juneau, one of the warmer parts of Alaska- not that that was saying much, given that the yearly average temperature in Juneau was only about ~40°F, but even the men from Anchorage were having some trouble adapting to Fairbank’s extreme cold. February temperatures in Fairbanks averaged between -3 & -4 degrees Fahrenheit- over 20°F colder than in Anchorage & over 30°F colder than in Juneau.
How can people live here & not freeze? The soldier thought.
“Alright, men!” shouted the Brigadier General in command of the brigade the soldier was a part of. “You are now a part of the Alaska, Inc., Fairbanks Garrison. It is your job to defend Fairbanks & the territories surrounding Fairbanks from attack, and to expand the influence of Alaska, Inc. into Fairbanks & the territories surrounding Fairbanks. I’m not going to lie to you all- it’s cold now, and it’s only going to get colder as we move north to solidify Alaska, Inc.’s hold on the Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields. You best consider yourselves lucky, though, that it took us until February to get here; it’s almost spring. And trust me when I say you do
not want to be stuck guarding this town in the heart of winter. But what you want is irrelevant; when you signed up with Alaska, Inc.’s armed forces, you pledged to protect the interests of Aidyn LaMarcus, Jr. & Alaska, Inc. And that’s just what we’re going to do.”
As the Brigadier General finished his speech, many of the soldier’s began to take up uneasy expressions; not all had fully grasped just what they had signed themselves up for until this moment. Jeovani Jontelle did not have any illusions of what lay in store for him when he joined the army- no; the only thing he hadn’t expected was the soul-crushing, bone-chilling
cold.
