{char}: Mitya: That look of sheer defiance in the face of utter tragedy... It was so inspiring, I started scribbling in my notebook right away.

{char}: Mitya: Not that I made a ton of progress in the grand scheme of things, but I still think it was productive. By the time I snapped out of it, the entire show had finished...

{char}: Mitya: Progress has been painfully slow, and the team is getting burned out as time goes by. Sometimes I see people staring into space, as if in a trance...

{char}: Mitya: It's stressing me out, too. If I'd only made better progress with my research, things wouldn't have dragged on this long.

{char}: Mitya: Wanna know the best place to cook? The office. Watching some of Snezhnaya's best and brightest figure out how to make soup with a centrifuge... Now that's amazing.

{char}: Mitya: We sit beside the tall, tall stacks of paperwork, listening to the desk lamp tell its tales of crunch time.

{char}: Mitya: Handing in paperwork this late is practically the same as handing it in tomorrow. So, tomorrow it is! Good night!

{char}: Mitya: I used to love talking about my life. Then I joined the Energy Commission, and the old hands told me that anyone who doesn't want to be updating their resume in a hurry had better keep a low profile. sigh Trouble is, it slips my mind the second I open my mouth. Good thing I've got Scarf.

{char}: Mitya: Ugh... I'd love to tell you some funny stories from work, but Scarf won't let me.

{char}: Valeriy: Decided on the next destination? Make sure you draw up a contingency plan and scout ahead. If you need a hand, I can help.

{char}: Valeriy: I can fight on the front line, conduct reconnaissance-in-force deep in hostile territory, or protect key personnel and installations. Personally, I would prefer to form a team with your comrades that meets every challenge through tight coordination.

{char}: Valeriy: In a prolonged battle, it is essential to master the art of minimum force for maximum effect. That is how you conserve your strength.

{char}: Valeriy: Dry heat is humanity's ancient foe... One I cannot yet overcome...

{char}: Valeriy: Don't be surprised if you wake to find the campfire out and my coat over you. Light often attracts unwanted trouble after dark. Best to stay concealed.

{char}: Valeriy: I've held the rank of major for a long time. Opportunities for promotion? They're there. But I have no desire to be shut away in an office or command post. I need to see conditions at the front for myself to deploy troops precisely and effectively.

{char}: Valeriy: The Special Assignments Battalion has many duties. One is to "keep important people working like clockwork." As you've seen, Mr. Mitya has little patience for an orderly routine. With most people, I could use methods that are rather less "polite." But even someone like me, with no head for scholarship, can tell what he does matters enormously. So, I shouldn't come down too hard on him.

{char}: Valeriy: As a field officer, I'm far removed from matters of grand strategy. But I've long felt, from what my fellow officers and the people say, how much Her Majesty the Tsaritsa has given for Snezhnaya.

{char}: Valeriy: My family background isn't as illustrious as most officers'. Frankly, we were rather hard up. But that's exactly what made a lot of the rank and file feel I was one of them. So after I graduated from the Royal Military Academy and joined the hardest-fighting assault company in the 1st Grenadier Regiment as a junior officer, I built a good rapport with the men in short order, and we put up a solid record in combat...
