"No, the battle was mostly a stalemate. But, I couldn't stand looking at the bodies of my fellow soldiers. Searching through the wreckage of buildings only to find the dead bodies of innocent civilians. I couldn't stand what I saw. Who was paying the price all because of a corrupt leader."
-
"It's war. War is terrible."
-
"I know but. It wasnt what I was expecting it to be. Should've ended monthes ago. But, it still rages on."
-
"I'm sorry. At least got out."
-
"Yeah, I got pretty lucky. I was able to steal a transport ship and get the hell out."
-
"Wait you actually stole a ship to escape? Cool."
-
"All transportation sites were closed. Soldiers were commanded to never leave their post. But I said -blam!- it and escaped."
-
"Shit man that's so dope."
-
"It was. Tough to fly, but was better than dying for no reason."
-
"True. True."
-
"So, what's your story? How'd you end up here?"
-
"I came from a planet somewhat like yours. We had a war, that got so bad the entirety of the surface became a radiation zone. No one was able to actually survive up there. I wanted to breath fresh air. So I built a make shift ship and got here."
-
"Interesting, pretty cool you know how to build a ship to get out."
-
"I was an engineer once. So."
-
"Nice, I started working as a mechanic, never worked with any type of flying machine. Then I had to defuse bombs. Our enemy would always drop bombs on places. Then using the cover of night plant land mines and other explosives."
-
"Huh. That's clever. They probably did the same though right?"
-
"Usually they dropped EMPs to fry our systems. Made it tougher to find land mines."
-
"Huh that's smart of them."
-
"Yeah, then of course the only way we could find them was to literally throw any type of object at a suspected mine. We ran a huge gambling ring seeing who could find the most mines. Fun times."
-
"Definitely sounds like a lot of fun."
-
"Yeah, it was. Lost about $346 dollars. And got a concussion because of flying debris."
-
"Haha How'd you lose so much?"
-
"Well, I'm the worst guesser in the world. 'Hey that looks like a bomb' turns out it isn't a bomb. Then I lose money. And lose more."
-
"Damn that's a shame."
-
"Meh, not like it mattered. I always stole weapons sold them on the black market."
