[Aboard the moving buildings of the Exodus, talking to herself]

'Combat Instructor' again, huh?

[Calvina wraps her jacket up a little tighter and looks out across the Siberian permafrost from her vantage point.]

Everyone on this 'exodus' is a civilian...they want to know how to fight because they have to. No, they chose to. Throwing themselves out in the world like this, and asking me of all people to help hold them up? They don't even know what they're getting into. Even the 'volunteers'.

Tch. Well, at least the pay's good, and they're sticking around with my room and board...

It's a tad on the cold side, yes.

[Tohya laughed.]

It's not that cold, not compared to the antarctic anyway. It's more the constant moving around and avoiding the Siberian Railway. It makes it somewhat difficult to study.

I'd imagine so... but it's not like the Exodus doesn't have a destination in mind, right? I'm sure they'll set up shop sooner or later.

I gather that most of the people here prefer it to living in giant climate shelter for the rest of eternity, too.

[Tohya kicks his feet a little.]

Yeah. The dome wasn't that bad, but I was only there for a month or so before we left. It could get boring being stuck there forever.

So where were you before? Josh mentioned he knew you back when he was at that research station...

[limit-of-fate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, our fathers' worked together on research there. I've traveled around a lot though. Dad was never one to stay put, especially after my mother died.

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

Scientists might be the least stable parents next to soldiers. He doesn't seem to have done too badly by you though, moving here.

[limit-of-fate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was for the best though. He died in an accident shortly after he left me here.

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

You're alone here then?

1/2

[limit-of-fate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's not that bad. I'm not the only kid alone here either. Dad made sure I had the resources I needed to get by and the Exodus is pretty nice compared to some of the other places I've stayed.

Though the constant questions from everyone about the outside world are really annoying.

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. If you want some advice, play things close to the chest if you don't want to be bothered about them.

[limit-of-fate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't really socialize here much.

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

Heh. One thing we have in common, I guess.
