Codename: Velocity

On the eve of her 20th birthday, Velocity's life as a genetically engineered bio-weapon has hit an impasse. For one, nobody knows when they'll be sent on their first real mission and that's been driving her nuts. Her second problem is her ongoing relationship with her Controller. It's been at a standstill for awhile now and Velocity is worried that she'll miss a chance at some real romance if something doesn't happen fast.

Despite some assurances from her close friend and partner, Velocity decides to jump the shark a bit in that department, which creates its own set of problems--both good and bad.

In the midst of that, rumors start flying about the Compound with regards to the true nature of the war, the Horde, and the effectiveness of Project Titan--giving everyone reason to question and doubt their own abilities and skills.

Even worse, an upcoming--and last minute--training drill may end up testing everyone to their limits before they even cross paths with the enemy. And it's an event that will have everyone putting all their eggs into one basket and seeing things through the bitter end--no matter what it costs.

And for Velocity, the Combat Arena may be the only place left where she can find some personal absolution in the end. The only question is will she be able to accept it?
