Status Updates From مرد مصور

Ettil and the other soldiers get in their rocket and blast off to Earth, with Ettil feeling empty inside from leaving everything behind. But when they reach Earth, they are informed that the Earth people have renounced war and welcome the Martians with peace. The other Martians are shocked, but Ettil can't help but laugh.

Ettil refuses to fight in the war after having read forbidden sci-fi magazines from Earth, showing Earth people thwarting Martian attacks. Ettil knows that because of this, Earth people have a stronger morale than Martians. Ettil's magazines are burned and he is almost executed before he sees his son witnessing everything. Ettil turns around and agrees to join the war, and is released. Damn.
