Probably.

But I'm not the guy who wrote 'em, anyway.

Orbital combat, and fights in space in general is something that...

Hasn't had its' time to grow yet.

It's kind of new where I'm from. We don't know what works, practically, outside of computer simulations- things haven't been road-tested to see what can be improved- and a lot of our organizational practices look back to older forms of army.

I'm pretty glad to say that there hasn't ever been an inter-planetary war.

... At least- not yet.

-Mulls that over for a moment-

Well, I can't comment on any of that.

The different worlds thing is starting to make sense, isn't it?

-leans against the wall a little-

There was an interplanetary war where you're from, wasn't there?

Yes, a little bit.

And- I can't comment on that.

-And the air around her twitches with her-

So its' classified.

Fair enough, I won't push-

I've worked in espionage once or twice.

Knowing that it's not public information doesn't make me a spy.

Espionage isn't just spy-work.

Some of it is protecting information.

Counter-espionage.

Still- yeah, I could've worded it better.

They still do the same thing. Handle information, either taking it or keeping it.

I don't care much for them either way.

Neither do I.

I always preferred the front-lines.

But- I've always gone where I've been needed.

Anyway- I gotta get going- I'll see you around, Zelras.

Nice- collection of mouse traps.

They're gifts actually.

The people back home can be really inviting sometimes...

I'm guessing unwanted gifts.

Want a drink of something?

Yes, a drink would be nice.

Heh- believe me, I know the feeling.

Ever heard of bear traps?

Oh-

And what'll you have, drink-wise?

You made little holes in the Fade. Tears, terrifying, trickling through — it — it's not the way I remember it.
