 Who is the protagonist of the story and what is their main objective?
Images began to appear, drawn from inexhaustible files, wherein are kept all thoughts, past, present, and future.... World War III had been declared, and he had enlisted, receiving his old rank of captain. Three days later they had landed in Spain, merged with another division, then crossed the Pyrenees into France, and finally to Paris where the fighting had begun. Most of the cities and the majority of the population of both countries had been destroyed. The armies that remained were without leaders, without sources of supplies, save what they could forage and beg from an unfriendly people. Their exodus was just beginning. With what few men he had left, he had commandeered a small yacht, and they had taken to the sea.
