"Why don't you come on in, we got a fresh pot of warm coffee waiting for you!" Cipher laughed as he held the door open for Qtronix.

Qtronix entered the library and inhaled the warm air, feeling the difference between the cold, biting air and the warm, expanding air.

"So....I saw you talking to Taiga....good luck with that one buddy, you'll need it." Cipher laughed a he took a swig of the hot, fresh coffee as he pored Qtronix a cup.

"She seems like a tough woman. I like that about her. At least she doesn't fall for any guy, and she certainly does not give quarter to a super-soldier." Qtronix laughed and took a sip of the coffee, "Mmm. This is good. Homebrew?"

Cipher points his thumb to Pop's who is behind the desk, "Yup, only thing the old man is good for!!" Ciper and Pop's broke out into a fit of laughter, like they were old war buddies.
"So, how was your first engagement Greenhorn?" Pops chuckled as he gave Qtronix a grin.

"It was.... fun. First time I actually did combat outside a training facility. Also the first time I got hit with a live round." Qtronix replied to Pops, sipping his coffee.

"Most soldiers don't call combat fun you know...."Cipher peered out of the window with an intense look in his eye, he had never considered combat fun. It was a kill or be killed world out there after all, he turn to Qtronix, the intense, piecing stare of a killer fighter pilot drilled into Qtronix's glowing eyes,"Tell me, did they teach you the one rule of war at super-solider camp?"

Qtronix's eyes glowed brightly, "Oh they did, and they created me to make sure the typical soldier gets to follow that rule as well." he replied. There was only one rule to war; Survive.

Cipher could see the answer in Qtronix's eye, he knew the golden rule as well as he, "You have a fair amount of pride it seems, keep that under control or it might get you killed." Cipher gave Qtronix a light smile as he took a seat, Pop was just going through some books, it was peaceful moments like this that Cipher truly enjoyed the most.

"Indeed." Qtronix sat down and emptied his cup of coffee, "So what can you tell me about Taiga?"

"You that interested in her?" Cipher laughed as he looked out the window from his chair. "She's very fiery and independent just from what I know, I only got to this base about a week ago. Mainly she just hands be the debriefs is all, seems very down to business, sorry I don't have any other intel then that." Cipher chuckled.

"I see..." Qtronix nodded, "It's quite rare for a regular person to take the initiative and socialize with a super-soldier... Frankly, it's also rare for them to worry about us." he said, remembering how Taiga visited him in the infirmary.
"Anyway, what can you tell me about this war?" Qtronix asked.

"This is the Belkan War. This all began with the discovery of natural resources here in Ustio, which only a few years prior had legally succeeded from Belka. Resentment grew in the Belka and they built up their military, and have invaded all their neighborers in one final attempt to be a superpower, with Osea now fully mobilized though...they don't really stand a chance..." Cipher took a sip of his coffee as he let out a sigh, "Pride is what drives the Belkans..."

"We humans go to war for some of the silliest reasons, don't we." Cipher threw his coffee cup away with his eyes shut, it landed perfectly in the wastebasket.
