And so I decided to go along with this chapter title after some deliberation. It would be one of the most emotional chapters in the novel. I'd to confess that I got a little teary writing that heartbreaking part, imagining what it would be like not only for David but the team members as well.
A breakdown of the chapter content:
1. Team STRATOS engaged in a dangerous mission to retrieve advanced weapons hi-jacked by a group of mercenaries. Viper was seriously injured in the heat of an intense conflict.
2. The team returned to Omega Base to an awaiting emergency medical team. Viper barely made it and was put on life support in a coma condition following an operation.
3. David kept vigil at Viper's bedside. He used the NSCI device and with HAVAH's help managed to revive her. But she soon succumbed after a brief intimate moment with her sweetheart. STRATOS members who were outside the ICU, were devastated by her passing.
4. A military funeral in honor of Viper was conducted in the Omega Base, attended by the staff and crew, and presided over by the Defense Secretary, ensued.
5. In the evening, Olivia dropped by briefly to pass a precious memento to a grieving David which will prove, in another chapter, to be a deal breaker to HAVAH's emotional advancement.
6. This object is also a crucial link that ties up past events and encounters, and provide a basis for some future ones.
Despite the pain of losing the darling of my story, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of writing this chapter. I can understand now, at least to some degree, the highs and lows novel writers experienced as they immersed themselves into the stories they're creating.
