At age 18, after leaving school, Michael immediately joined the army. Throughout the next 10 years, Michael was promoted to Lieutenant, where he trained in specialist skills, including advanced gun handling and ghost operations. In June 2021, Michael's army best friend, David “Sticks” Oakman and the rest of Michael's small quad were seriously injured/ died while out patrolling, David stepped on an IED. This patrol was covert, no one else knew they were there. Dazed and confused, Michael returns back to base, he was greeted by his superior and a couple of army police. They accused him of betraying his fellow Officers and conspiring with the enemy. He was put on house arrest unable to go out, in the next few months things began to change, he would see fewer people outside, and the power would keep turning off and on again. Then one day, while shooting in his firing range in his garden, he heard something, something that would change his life
from now on.
