Well. It ah. Seems I'll have some time on my hands until I get some repairs finished. Fortunately I'm still mobile via my holomatter avatar so any students who I am tutoring should have no break in schedule and everything else is business as usual...

I do have a question however.

I'm just wondering, what is it that humans and other organics do for fun? Or at least to occupy your time?

Really? You're lucky then. Most of us aren't so pleasant.

[perdre]

I'm sure it's not that bad. [or is he!!]

[weapabilities]

Heh, you'd be surprised. Fighting for millions of years will make anyone unpleasant.

[perdre]

Hopefully that won't be the case here.

[weapabilities]

Seriously.

[perdre]

Do you consider yourself a soldier here as well?

[And should he?]

[weapabilities]

Yes. Then again, a part of me always will be, I think.

[perdre]

[Peter's thoughts drift a little. He figures this would be a good approach for an interview, if he was given the chance to conduct one. But that doesn't seem like it will happen here.]

I think they're expecting most of us to be soldiers in some way.

[weapabilities]

[ Drift doesn't mind entertaining some questions every now and then, but you have to catch him in a good mood. ]

Which is wrong. A lot of the people here are children. Nobody should have to fight a war that isn't theirs. Especially someone so young.

[perdre]

No, they shouldn't. I mean, if they just - had a better way to find people. Even just ask them if they'd fight.

[weapabilities]

I'm sure there would be plenty of volunteers. There's always someone looking for a fight, but this? This is wrong.

[perdre]

It is. Yet somehow it's like... the lesser of two evils.

[weapabilities]

That's the unfortunate truth of things.

[perdre]

[he's quiet for a moment.]

... Sorry. Here you are asking for a distraction and I steered the conversation to an unpleasant subject.

[weapabilities]

Heh, don't worry about it.

[perdre]

[If you say so!]

... Let me know how the video game thing goes?

[weapabilities]

Will do.
