8: Niemi

Some secrets have been held so tightly for so long that they become part of their bearer, impossible to separate. Captain Niemi had climbed too high and worked too hard to have his career ruined by the truth. Changes don't happen overnight. They say it's alright to be Houseless now, but that's bullshit. Exposed, he'd be a target for any soldier with a chip on his shoulder, any punk lieutenant wanting to move up the ranks. He'd lose the respect he's struggled to gain. He's built his life on this lie, and he'll take it to the Void if necessary.
