"We should tell your wife, you'll really be in for it!" Sergeant Kim then laughed. "Then we'll all be dead! I would like to stay alive just a little bit longer!" The group would laugh a little, raising their spirits just a bit to get them through the day with rebuilding the observation base and helping the wounded.

HMCS Halifax's POV
Things have been hell for the past seven hours.. The aftermath of the attack.. The decimated squads of marines.. Quebec, Toronto, and Vancouver... Vancouver's condition hasn't gotten any better...
My mind was filled with the battle that we fought today as I sat there in the hallway, staring at the red sign above the two metal doors. "Surgery in progress" I muttered to myself, clutching onto the coat Vancouver always worn.
Even though it was stained with her blood, I couldn't help but keep it by my side as I didn't dare lose hope. Some more time passed and eventually, a doctor approached me. I quickly got up to my feet, not knowing what to expect but I was hoping it was at least some good news.
"Doc..." I said, looking at the man holding a clipboard in his right hand. "How are they..?" I asked, trembling a little as I feared for the worst.
"Quebec and Toronto should be alright. They are resting but it looks like they won't be able to fight for maybe two weeks, give or take as you kansen tend to recover faster than a normal human." the doctor said. I could only take a breath of relief but still, I didn't know Vancouver's condition.
"And about Vancouver...?" I asked and the doctor flipped through the pages on the clipboard as the red light above the doors turned off. He then turned and spoke to a surgeon who exited first and the two spoke in a quiet voice. I didn't know what they said but seeing how the doctor nodded his head, I was hoping for some good news..
The doctor turned to me and he spoke in the same tone he did earlier. "Halifax, the surgery was a complete success for Vancouver however she will be out of action for three months." I gently hugged Vancouver's coat, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Thanks doc.." I said as the doctor nodded and walked off. I looked back at the surgery room and sat back down into the chair I was occupying earlier. "Vancouver..." I said softly, closing my eyes as I listened to the deafening silence of the hallway.
Meanwhile two hallways down...
"O-OW!!" a marine of the 2nd Marine Battalion, 2nd Marines, would yell as a corpsman injected him with a syringe of morphine. "Ah quit your crying. You're a marine so man up."
"I told you I hate needles!!" the marine shouted and the corpsman spoke in a calm tone. "Hate it or not, its still needed. If you hated needles, you should've avoided getting injured. Now sit still."
The corpsman would go on to wrap up the marine's wound, handing him a lollipop once she was done tending to his wound. "There, we're done." the corpsman said before the marine took the lollipop.
"A lollipop..? Seriously?" the marine asked and the corpsman responded. "Sorry, we only hand out lollipops, not crayons. Take it or leave it."
".... Rah..." the marine said, taking the lollipop with him as he left. Right as the marine left, there was some commotion just right outside the room.
"You gotta get checked out..!" one marine said, trying to force another marine into the room but was struggling heavily to. "I don't want to!! She just said she doesn't have any crayons!!" the marine said, locking themselves into the door frame.
