Life is hard at FSTS-317, AKA: Atlas, a depot where conventional, nuclear, and chemical weapons are stored, but nobody said the life of a Special Weapons soldier in the US Army would be easy. For Nancy Nagle, a medic qualified member of 2/19th Special Weapon Group and an experienced Special Weapons soldier, the day started with an argument and got a lot worse very quickly. With an unknown amount of casualties out of the two 13-man squads, limited supplies, and a host of other problems, Nancy Nagle finds herself one of the few unwounded soldiers forced by duty and loyalty to head into the blast zone to search for wounded and survivors. As the body count and the number of wounded stack up it quickly becomes apparent that Atlas had seen its chance, and taken it.
