Cellstrike member comments:

  • “I owe my life to Fury. I was kidnapped by Earthshatter - those freaks wanted to use me in some ritual! I was sure I wasn’t going to survive, but the General swooped in and wiped them out.”

Lieutenant Dan Sorkin

  • “Yeah, General Fury is tough. You don’t even want to know what drills are like. But I’ve learned to be a better sniper thanks to his efforts, someday maybe the best. Would I follow him in any field of battle? Absolutely, no questions asked!”

Squadron Leader Amanda Yussuf

  • “I joined Cellstrike hoping to be under General Fury’s leadership. So far, training has been a nightmare. I’m not sure if I’m doing a good job. But I’m still willing to try my best. I believe in Cellstrike’s efforts to keep the world safe and I believe in people like Fury.”
