IC A Tale of Two Countries (IC)

"I'm not from there, either."

"Oh, who are you then?"

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"Technically from Deimos, practically I'm just wandering in the country, looking for a plan for revenge."

 

[Streyll]

"Revenge against who?"

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"My own military, the generals who thought it was a good idea to use me and others as a damn laboratory rat." *Retribution smokes again.*

 

[Streyll]

"What did they do?"

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"Experiments on genetics. Most of us didn't make it. Some, like me, are stronger, but I already feel older physically. And like my body has a lot less time to live."

 

[Streyll]

"You should have gone to Swaasnia before it collapsed then, they might have been able to help you."

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"Huh? Swaasnia?" *Retribution would ask.*

 

[Streyll]

"It's an old country. It collapsed about half a year ago."

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"How did it collapse? Invasion or something like that?"

 

[Streyll]

"It collapsed from the inside."

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"Might've been political instability or a junta, for all I could bet.

 

[Streyll]

"Well, there's a few different reasons, but I don't know all of them. I used to work for the Swaasnia military though, so I do know a few things..."

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"I used to work for the Desmos military, and I probably bet we aren't the only ex-soldiers there.

 

[Streyll]

"Well, most of the other people I know that used to work for Swaasnia are dead, so I don't think we'll be seeing more people from there at least."

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"I guess there will be some people that at some point stopped working. Anyway, who are you? I am Nicholas, but call me Retribution.

 

[Streyll]

"I'm Lukas."
Lukas holds out his hand for a handshake.

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

*Retribution shakes the hand, although it still feels a bit awkward to him.*

 

[Streyll]

"Anyway, what now? Do you have any plans or something?"

 

[Vitrolic Medicine]

"I'll plan how to eliminate head of the Desmos military, and hope no one follows up with worse experiments."
