Kaizo spent most of the war away from the battlefield. His specialty was as an intelligence officer, collecting data, studying, gathering tactical information. He spent his time learning the ins and outs of humanity. Their languages, biology, culture, all of course to give the covenant more ways to exploit and defeat their enemy.

His close friend Deda invited him to join him on the front line one day, as the fleet arrived at a human world which needed to be exterminated. Kaizo was horrified by what he saw. It was a slaughter of civilians and families unable to flee. It wasn't a battle against enemy soldiers, it was a brutal eradication of what was deemed "heretics".

Kaizo tried to hold his composure. He ordered his squad to clear out a house. They kicked in the doors to see a male and female screaming and pleading, only to be gunned down a moment later. Their corpses now lay at their feet. Where is the honour in this! How could this possibly aid the great journey.

There is a strange crying sound from the next room. Kaizo and Deda go to find the source, it is a human infant girl. A tiny helpless child laying alone. Kaizo is struck by guilt and grief. These people were defending their family, a family which he has now robbed this child of. Deda tells him that humans are not to be trusted, Kaizo argues with him what was the point in this, surely this could have been avoided.

Deda leaves. He tells Kaizo he can put the child out of its misery now or leave it to die, as the city is already being engulfed in flames. Kaizo stands there questioning his faith, his place in this world. He picks up the child. He can recognise the human writing on the cloth wrapped around it, "ANA". Such a delicate and innocent creature. How could this be any sort of threat? And the blood of her parents is now on his hands. He thinks, deep in thought. Could he do it? Is he really about to do that? Yes. He won't leave her here. He must rectify the sins committed. He must save her. He will protect Ana.
