*Roanoke enters the bar and sits at the counter*
Ion- Surprise me with my drink and I’ll take a bowl of crackers and peanuts.

“Alright. What’s your story, stranger?” Blaze works on getting a drink, and places the peanuts and crackers next to you.
-
Ion- Just finished up at academy. Two days ago was graduation. Now I’m being deployed to Main for a job there. *He says this with a spaced out look in his eyes*
-
“You good? You’re kinda spacing out.” Blaze says, as he hands you a cup of milk, “And there’s your surprise!”
-
Ion chugs the milk down. He then process to put his head down and sleeps. Cady then warps our of his backpack. Cady- Ehhh he’s fine. He is lake that right now because Aca was real tough on him. Besides, this isn’t my body, one of our barrack mates turned on us while in a heli, and then our other mate took him down and of the heli... they were never found... Now that I say that out loud... I’m starting to think that he may not be ok...
-
“Yeah, he might not be so hot. But what’s this academy? And do you want anything?”
-
Ion- *speaking still with his head down* Battle school you could say. Was supposed to finish in 2 years, got it done in 1. [spoiler]Think of Cady as a Ghost from M/V, but with the AI body of one from Halo[/spoiler] Cady- Oh I’m good.
-
[spoiler]ok thanks![/spoiler] “Alright. Sounds like you worked double time there! How rough was it.” Blaze sounds very intrigued.
-
Ion- Brutal. I went weeks doing double duty. Ammo stash count, guard tower, sky patrol... forget this, give me your strongest drink! Duty doesn’t call for another month, so I’ve got time to kill. Cady- our barrack team took the hard assignments. Our last one was when the heli incident happened...
-
“Well, at least you have a break.” Blaze says as he grabs his strongest. While pouring it out, he turns to Cady, “Any extra details on this ‘helicopter incident’?”
-
Cady- Well, we told you about the barrack mates... Oh the heli crashed over no-mans-land. That’s when I lost my original body. Roanoke here- sorry, Ionclast was able to get me to a Spark-converter in time, now I’m like this. Even after that, we had a long way back to base. Barbed wire, aerial strikes, Thunder tanks... man it was loud!
-
“Sounds like it, but you’re lucky, you don’t have eardrums that can be blown out!”
-
Cady- ya I guess. But till, that’s all I know of, even from the reports. Ion- I’d like to tell you more, but Main told me I can’t disclose info about it for a while until the investigation is done.
-
“Huh, I’m surprised you haven’t passed out yet, Ion! I gave you some heavy stuff.”
