“The Closest I’ve Come to Death?” A query that comes with a story of impatience, indiscretion or poor judgement. For Alec Effson, it is a question that repeatedly asks why she is on a battlefield, what she expects to gain from the experience and who she will be when she returns to a life that is safely behind the front lines. Her story is one of ambition, of a desire to be stronger, smarter, more influential and a reminder of the costs demanded of such desire. .

Not as expected. Battles never go as planned. A research team in the field adds another complication to the story. Partly fighters. Partly observers, though not exactly innocent. Our professor is retreating through the back country, looking forward to seeing her friend and sharing her accomplishments. But this is the end. And it ends the only possible way a battle can end.

Small shows. A single vehicle and a couple of entertainers. But they were the ones who engaged the front line troops. They went to the battle, to the, places where the USO didn’t go. They saw the war as it was and helped the soldiers to their do their job. They also found themselves in adventures of their own. .

The day has come. The hour has arrived. The troops are deployed against an insurgent stronghold. And Professor Effson has gone to the battlefield to study, to observe, to see how the residents behave in combat. One small change and with that change, her work hangs in the balance.

A preliminary visit. A warning shot at an awkward time. A suggestion that the local population might not as welcoming as they might appear. An angry research director, who had to drag a research team to the battlefield when they claimed that they could do conflict research from the safety of their laboratories. Military and scientific research. Pressure is applied and the mixture goes badly in Act 4 of “Your Results May Vary.”
