                RETRIBUTION

PART 25 BY THE CHOIR BOYZ TEAM........................

After a quick last minute inspection, Scarecrow led the
recruits out the main gate.  They started down the worn road
away from what each of them had called home for the past few
weeks.  Each one stole a look at the marker that was placed
just outside the main gate, the smell of freshly turned soil
still wafting from the site.  The marker was nothing more than
a sliver of rock that had been blown from its mother when
the last missile was launched.  A full third of its bulk was
buried in the ground, giving it the appearance of an unsightly
tooth.  Despite its ungainly size and rough appearance, an
inscription had been carefully carved into its face;


                     HERE LIES HAWK

               A GREAT WARRIOR WHO FORGOT
               THE MOST BASIC OF TACTICAL
               LESSONS: WHILE ONE MAN MAY
               HAVE A NUMBER OF STRENGTHS
               ...NEVER FORGET THAT THERE
               IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
