Cost Benefit Analysis | Profits Over People

Corporate promised a six-hour sweep.
The soldiers got six weeks of horror.
On X-8813 (aka "Veymar's Folly") Sergeant Elias Rook and his platoon faced acid storms, tunneling insectoid hunters, and intelligence data so wrong it bordered on criminal.
When the sky went silent, they knew the truth.
Corporate was done.
Not when the ROI dipped. Not when the spreadsheets said "acceptable losses." Not when the math said the mission could still save lives.
This is a story about soldiers abandoned at the edge of known space, a war fought for margins, and a corporation that cashed out long before the last heartbeat fell quiet.
A sci-fi tragedy carved in chitin, fire, and profit.
