: I'm guessing you use coal, then? Swash: If it was carbon, the Betas grabbed it for fuel. That wasn't always a good thing. This time the soldiers are more intelligent. : ...Okay, but what's the main source of carbon?

Swash: *looks down at her drink and swirls it, sighing* Enemy crops were the intended target during the Beta War. One of the horrors is that the Sermekans started burning everything we had been using for fuel. So the Betas grabbed people.

Swash: Corpses first.. but the Betas grabbed people who were still alive. Anyone they could catch. And that's why the technology was mostly outlawed and sealed away. *stares down at her drink*

Patton's enthusiasm had evaporated, horror welling up in its place as he leaned away from Swash.: ...*nods slowly*

Let us focus on the here and now. The Beta War was ugly, as war tends to be. I am glad you have the wisdom to see that.

I'm probably going to stick around though, this bar's my favorite. It has the best fights.

-AT A NICE RESTAURANT IN THE CITY-
A man sits at a table, his face concealed by the menu he holds. When he's approached, he checks his watch and speaks in a low tone.
"I see you've made it on time."
