Fabiana Stewart

"There was a calling for individuals to innovate warfare to protect Earth. What we did will be taught in history books for generations to come. Scholars will analyze our moves and call us the greatest military minds to walk the face of the Earth. The truth is we were adapting to the situation and making the most of what we had."
