A day later, Vincent, his team, and Eamon's associates were having breakfast with the MREs. As usual, Eamon's associates showed delighted expressions as they ate, while Vincent and his team remained neutral, used to the standard military rations.
The MREs were designed to provide enough nutrients to keep a soldier functioning throughout the day, but the taste often left something to be desired. For Vincent and his team, it was just another meal—fuel to keep them going. For Eamon's associates, however, it was a different experience, as they found the variety of flavors surprisingly enjoyable.
