The sergeant suddenly lunged, caught me by the scruff and slammed me down into the freezing mud. "Silence!" he hissed, the word escaping his mouth in a long puff of chilled white vapor. His eyes were transfixed on a gleaming object in the tree line. My eyes followed his.

"You see that, grunt?" the sergeant growled, "those two slots between the earphone muzzle and the air intake?"

"Those two USB ports may look small to the untrained eye, but those of us who've survived the chaos of the Legacy Wars know exactly how efficient those little bastards can be.

The sergeant gave a visible shiver as he turned his head back to stare over the moonlit craters of no man's land. "There’s a cold wind a blowin' me lad ... mark my words, these USB devices are taking over."
