Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story
Virginia Beach, Virginia
June
Six Months Later
Teaching a bunch of soldiers, sailors, and marines nearly half her
age that it was a bad idea to loot the countries they were
deployed to was not how Kira Hanson had expected to spend the last
Tuesday in June. She was supposed to be heading to the airport, embarking
on her first-ever trip overseas. This kind of gig usually went to an in-house
Army or Navy archaeologist.
After all, the Cultural Heritage Monitoring
Lab was only a few hours away from JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, but
CHML didn’t have anyone to send at the last minute when Dr. Diana
Edwards, who had a contract to conduct these trainings through Friday
Morning Valkyries, had been hospitalized with appendicitis requiring
emergency surgery yesterday.
Kira owed Diana her life, so when the archaeologist needed a pinch hit,
Kira would always step up to bat. Even if she had to bump her flight a day.
Thank you, changeable tickets.
Now here she was. She’d driven down from DC in the wee hours of the
morning to give herself time to review the presentation materials before she
faced her first classroom of fifty or so students. Three sessions today—one
in the morning, two in the afternoon, and she’d be done. Then the long
drive home. She’d catch her rescheduled and rerouted flight to Malta at

somewhere.
She’d liked teaching when she was in grad school. But that was at a
university where, in theory, at least, students wanted to be there. They took
art history courses because they liked the subject, or they thought it would
be an easy A, which it wasn’t.
She had a feeling these students wouldn’t be so keen on the subject, but
at least there was no tuition, no tests, and no grades. Kira was way more
nervous than her students would be.
She took several deep breaths as she sat behind the steering wheel and
stared at the building. She’d made it through Pass and ID with the help of a
civilian Navy employee who’d met her at the gate. She’d cleared the first
hurdle.
Social anxiety was nothing new for her, but she usually managed it with
careful planning. It helped that work was one thing she had confidence in.
She was a recognized expert in her field. But this wasn’t her usual
environment, and there’d been little time to brace herself for standing in
front of a room and teaching 150 total strangers for six hours.
It was an equation for an anxiety attack.
She took a long, slow breath. Today, I am a Valkyrie
