XIII⸠Ah, I don't mind you asking at all! It's more a combination of things really- the lacerations wouldn't be nearly as bad if the blood loss wasn't a factor, vice versa. Lost maybe a little more than half? I've stablised fine enough though so I'm not worried.
XIII⸠I also have... a couple bad fractures that need time to knit back together, too? More than a couple? It's fine. Maaay have gone through a wall, but I'm pretty sure the concussion's gone by now. I was on the ground for this deployment, ended up getting rather personal with someone in an augmented hardsuit. Kept my squad safe though, that's the most important thing.
XIII⸠I am... I'm Armory forces. I don't typically have a consistent deployment, I mostly get thrown about wherever they really need a medic. I'm on the ground most of the time, but- I am a lancer, yes! When I'm needed to be. Funnily enough, I am also a Lancaster pilot- she's my pride and joy. Would be nice if I got to head out in her more, but- ah, shouldn't complain.
XIII⸠Harrison doesn't typically need me in the mech as much, considering how you're more likely to catch a bullet outside all that metal and machinery. But when it's truly dire, they deploy me to keep people running in good shape. I'm something of a repair tech too! Keep people and frames up and running :}
XIIIâ¸It's... I'm busy a lot, for sure. Part of why I'm impatient to get back out there; but it's not up to me right now. I'm not allowed out of my room yet, let alone back to the field. So- means a lot to me, you're willing to talk like this. I don't have a lot of stuff I can personally talk about that's not the battlefield. It's... kind of been my life?
XIIIâ¸... that sounds bad. I don't mean it that way, it's just- it's what I've always done.
XIII⸠Regardless- if I may ask, how did you end up in the Baronies? It seems quite a far cry from the Union :}
Christ-the-Buddha, I stand fuckinâ corrected. You went through a fucking wall? Iâm surprised you ainât chompinâ at the bit to get off that rock and go the fuck home. Figure the Armory doesnât let their soldiers go that easy, though.
Iâm gonna keep my personal feelinâs on the Armory outta this, since youâre a good kid and it ainât your fault you ended up on the side you did. Not like any side of that fuckinâ warâs any better than the other. Fuck âem both, thatâs what I say.
Ah, a good olâ Lannie pilot! Fuckinâ love those trucks. Anything IPS-N is worth it in my correct opinion. Built like a damn old-world Nokia, those things are, and the Lannie keeps âem together even fuckinâ more. You must be a damn celebrity out there, a medic and a mechanic.
I get not havinâ much to talk about that ainât the battlefield. Iâm a career soldier, my family were all career soldiers, I come from a long line of Lancers been deployed from the core to the Dawnline Shore. Was my life for the longest time, still kinda is as a pankrati.
Take care of yourself, though, kiddo. From the way youâre talkinâ you ainât givinâ yourself the kinda consideration that someone as important to the fight as a medic/mechanic needs. What happens to your squad if you go down and now they ainât got no support? Goinâ through a wall is no fuckinâ joke. Listen to your docs, you ainât a damn ârepair tool,â you break way more fuckinâ easy.
Howâd I end up in the Baronies? Well, damn, thatâs a long fuckinâ story. The short version is that you do not fuck with the House of Stone, especially not when it comes to manna.
The long story⌠I dunno how much the good Suzerain Sarthis wants me runninâ my mouth about it while the case is ongoing, but the vague outline is that I got myself into some damn deep debt gambling on pankrati matches, fucked over a House of Stone asshat, then got fucked over in return. Ended up an indentured servant to the minor house of Belisario within the House of Stone, then got my contract bet on a pankrati match and lost to House Sarthis. The transferâs still goinâ on, though, so the legalese is fuckinâ complicated.
Keep in touch, kiddo, I⌠I need a distraction right now.
