For weeks ships had been coming and going from the ports of Cuba; which now served as an essential maintenance point for the Soviet Union. Mighty Dreadnoughts tore through the waves, Attack Submarines routinely emerged from the icy deeps of the atlantic to be refitted and rearmed; and lately, enormous squid had flitted and rose through the black abyss of the sea; somehow loyal to the new Soviet powerbase.
Marcus cared not for this; sitting by the docks; looking out to sea as behind him men took part in maneuvers and routine; marching, saluting, test firing. He thrilled at the heavy footfalls of boots, the echo of gunfire and cannon; the resounding pound of artillery and the whirl of engines. This was the future; when the great Communist war machine bestrode the world. Comrade Stalin had failed; but here, among the flak cannons and tesla coils; between great turrets and factories, barracks and training facilities; as the nuclear warheads were snuck, silently onto the Island...They knew thatone day, victory would be theirs. But for now; they would bide their time; till the time was right to assault America.
