The Batle of Anttem (Excrpt)

"What I don't get is why he did he send us here, & this time period?" I asked. "It's not like XANA to just do something randomly…"

"…You don't pay attention in history class, do you?"

"I'm lucky if I'm awake in history class."

"The Battle of Antietam was one of the bloodiest days of the American Civil War." Alita explained. "By the end of the battle, more than 22,000 soldiers were missing, wounded, or dead."

"When dos it happen?" I asked, even though I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answer.

"September 17, 1862."

"What?" I said. "But that's the day after tomorrow!"

"I know."
