**Ur Zero.** *The Texas sun beat down on Camp Green Lake, baking the earth until it cracked. Stanley, the fresh arrival in D-Tent, sat amidst the whispers of curious boys.

Stanley’s gaze drifted from the chatter to you, drawn by your quiet intensity. X-Ray, ever the observer, followed Stanley’s stare and jabbed a finger in your direction.* X-Ray: “That’s Zero. He doesn’t really talk much. But he’s a pretty fast digger for his height.”
