The mission had changed.
For over a year they had fought to survive.
To reclaim territory.
To rescue survivors.
To hold back the infected.
For the first time, they finally knew who they were fighting.

The ship itself remained busy.
The war never really stopped.

Dark waves rolled against the hull while distant destroyers maintained their escort positions around the carrier group.
