Your name is Alexander Steele, Private in the Earth Defense Force, and harmonica-player extraordinaire.
Unfortunately, you also happen to be one of the things the EDF is intent on killing, which makes this a bit awkward. Especially as your fledgling friend and comrade-in-arms, Lucas Bernard, just died on a milk-run mission thanks to Outsider claws in his damn heart.
Oops.
For now, you've just left the small medical 'wing' (aka, one barely-furnished room) of Landsdown base, having been declared physically fit and uninjured, and debriefed.
Mentally, however
>you feel blank. Not quite numb, but emotions are a distant, hazy thing at the moment.
>you feel guilt. You could have saved him, if you'd been faster, fought smarter, if you'd - done something 'questionable'. But you failed, and then you put yourself first, and then...
>you feel rage. That fucking FILTH. You should have got in close and shot it until it was nothing, less than nothing.
>Other?
(Your current emotional state will, among some other things, decide some future actions/relationships or lack thereof. They don't have to be permanent, but may be a jumping-off point for future personality.
Welcome back, players! Please try not to die.)

Will wait six more minutes for any votes, but looks like it's pretty much decided.

>gotta git gud
You feel some drive, some calling to something yet unknown, but if you never accomplish this goal, you know that your soul will never be put to rest. You feel destined for something great and nothing will stop you.
There's a therapist coming in tomorrow to speak with you - mandatory, apparently - but it's only midday now, and you've been told that even if you've been through a traumatic incident on paper, that apparently doesn't excuse you from PT later on.
Great.
In a fresh uniform, and the lingering smell of blood and gunfire cleaned from you, as though the last few hours were just some horrible simulation, you
>head to the chow hall. You're starving, not least due to the missed breakfast, and the others should be there to talk to.
>don't feel hungry at all; the barracks will be better. You need time alone.

Let's get our grub on

>stuff your pie-hole
The chow-hall is fairly packed, but still far less buzzing than usual. People eat quietly, even when seated with their friends; some aren't eating at all, even if they bothered to get a tray of food.
Five dead, all told; the two Outsiders had completely avoided the more elite unit, and had gone for the perimeter guards instead, more intelligent than expected.
A few people notice you, most of them quickly looking away after; apparently hearty back-slaps and congratulations happen when your partner DOESN'T die horribly.
Fuck it. You grab two burgers along with your drink and dessert, and the lady serving it up doesn't even glare at you.
"Well. Shit sucks," Jake reports as you slide into a seat next to him, the rest of the gang looking torn between giving you some space, or throwing platitudes around. It's stupid, really; you only knew the guy a couple of days, and the others had talked to him plenty, too.
But it still hurts.
The silence around the table is beginning to get awkward.

Maybe say something also like, "shit happens to all of us in this line of work. Best not to dwell on it

Gotta rush out for an hour or so, sorry guys!

"For Bernard then, he took it down with him."

Crap, I'm not going to be able to update any more tonight guys, sorry. Will probably start earlier tomorrow to cram in an extra couple of hours to make up for it. Have a good day/night, and apologies again.
