[As soon as the video feed turns on, it's obvious that the good commander is pretty pissed off.

She jabs her finger hard at the screen, teeth bared.] Dr. Sponde, Initiative, whoever the hell you are.

What the hell just happened to us all? I don't know about you, but I don't exactly find the idea of having to murder my friends to keep them from killing me the ideal situation in training. I don't care if it was a simulated situation or not.

[Chloe takes a second or two to process that last bit. I'm sorry, did you say Systems Alliance based on Earth? Implying there is more out there than just earth? You did, didn't you. Okay then. ]

Oh. Oh I see. A commander. So you're military then. [No clue what kind exists in space, but hey, she doesn't need to sweat the specifics.] Don't imagine this is the war-free vacation you'd prefer.

[That's right, Chloe. A lot more out there than just Earth. Wait until you get a look at the aliens here in Exsilium that were taken from other worlds.]

Have been for a long time now. [Just barely half her life, actually.] It's actually a lot more peaceful than back home.

[Well that'll be one hell of a ride.]

I don't know whether to congratulate you or offer my sympathies. Honestly either one seems to be in poor taste.

I suppose it depends on how much peace you prefer.

I prefer some sort of action rather than sitting on my ass all day, waiting for them to start fucking up again. [A shrug.] But that's just me.

No, no. Couldn't have put it any better myself. Glad to know I'm not the only one who isn't overly fond of being pushed about.

I never was good at being told to sit still until I was needed. It's good to hear that other people are more action-oriented around here too.
