The transport truck’s echo faded as Flippy, now Sergeant Stryker, stepped down, dust swirling. General Pop handed him orders: visit Nurse Quinn, a timid porcupine whose quills fly when startled. Cuddles warned him to be gentle, noting Flaky was his childhood friend. At the tent, Flaky jumped, quills piercing a shelf. “Sorry!” she squeaked. Flippy raised hands, asking for a bandage.

Flippy sighed, rubbing his neck. “Interesting,” he muttered as Pop dismissed them.
