*As we head to the door i cockily bow and let Misty pass* Ladies first.

*Turn to prism* Sure thing, hey, you do what you do, if you want to become a military journalist, i'm sure there's a spot in there for that, plus the company i made that deals in espionage, though still at the beginning, might like to collaborate with adventurous spirits such as yourself.

And what's the story of Misty? Why is she mute? and why does her 'hello' and 'g'morning' is a knife nearly missing one's face?

@Shadrack Nor

I’d be open to talking with them. They may not be interested in a person like me, but it could be a good opportunity for us both.
*Looks over to Misty, cheerfully bouncing along*
She has a... troubled past. It’s led to a number of problems for her, none of which are her fault.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

We are a large part of the system and truly neutral in the grand scheme of things, the tech we hold can change warfare entirely.

@Spiritblitz

Are you concerned at all that being impartial just perpetuates warfare?

[Magnanimity]

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I'm sure. Get some rest, I'll see you early tomorrow. If you're hungry, Fairy Yellow will make you food.
*Descends the staircase*

@Artifact

… Did she forget?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

You really think so?

@Legend Begins

I do. It’s not something I’d recommend wearing day-to-day, but it’s a nice getup for like, a party with friends or something.

*Looks compassionately at Misty then turn to Prism again* Hey welcome to the club... messed up childhood, messed up adulthood, messed up life and now... *Looking around the plaza and at the evening blue-yellow sky of Mars* Messed up situation - completely uprooted from what i even thought was real... i think i may have a coin of understanding there *I chuckle awkwardly*

As to your last statement, if you prove your skills in observation in this mission, you'd have no idea just how supportive the Martian military are and how appreciative they get for skilful people...

@Magnanimity

Just like today. A long, road trip party.

@Shadrack Nor

What brings you to the military? What does your history look like?

@Legend Begins

I’d stick to a house party or something like that. But yeah, kinda.

I guess it’s until next time, then. Fun day.

I’m ready for sleep, I’ll tell you that much. See you around.

@Memory

Long story, pal.

*I grunt, taking a swig of a bottle Martian beer.*

Long and messy. Let's just say I've been a soldier most of my life. It's what I know, what I'm good at.

*I pause, a flicker of something else in my eyes, a hint of the light that now resides within me*

But I'm learning new things. Slowly. This world... it's different. But a soldier's gotta adapt, right?

*I lean back, my gaze sweeping across the plaza, taking in the unfamiliar sights and sounds.*

Needed a job, a way to make my mark. Figured the military was a good place to start. Turns out, they ain't so different from the ones back home. Just fancier toys.

*I chuckle, a dry, humorless sound.*

But the fight's the same, no matter where you are.

@Shadrack Nor

I see. The same, but now different. The cube has introduced something foreign, new, and exciting?

@Memory

Nah, the cube ain't changed nothin'.

*I reply, my gaze shifting away from the Tesseract.*

Just sharpened what was already there. Always been a survivor, a fighter. But this world... it's taught me some new tricks.

*takes another swig of beer, my eyes scanning the plaza before returning to you.*

It's funny,

*I continue, a wry smile tugging at the corner of my mouth,*

I used to be all about anger, vengeance. But now... it's different. Calmer, somehow. More focused.

*I pause, my eyes momentarily glazing over as if lost in thought.*

Maybe this world ain't so bad after all,

*I murmur, more to myself than to anyone in particular.*

Maybe there's somethin' here for me. Somethin' worth fightin' for.

@Shadrack Nor

From what it sounds like, the cube has made you the best version of yourself.

@Memory

Probably... you might be right... But tell you what, learning to manage an espionage company sure didn't feel easy at first.

I'm expanding my skills, i'm definitely a new man...

What about Misty? does she have any questions, i think the commander is nearly here, yup...

@Etcetera

I'm sure. It was a process.
*Looks over*
I think she's really just interested in violence right now.
