It begins (D1 LE Practice Range)

[John Slaktare]

"Until I feel comfortable retiring to a farm somewhere. That ain't now. Don't know when it will be. But I'll eventually sell my Grandma and use the money for the farm."

[Yori Hakamada]

"Until I feel comfortable retiring to a farm somewhere. That ain't now. Don't know when it will be. But I'll eventually sell my Grandma and use the money for the farm."

"I see, and return to farming life? Your grandmother must be reasonably valuable if she can be exchanged for a farm."

[John Slaktare]

"It's what I called my mech. Cause my real grandmother was a battle-axe too."

[Yori Hakamada]

"It's what I called my mech. Cause my real grandmother was a battle-axe too."

Yori looks at him for a long moment.
"Anatomically....Oh, I see. Your grandfather could simply have adopted. That seems appropriate given you pilot a hachetman."

[John Slaktare]

"Nah, not anatomically. Personality-wise. She was an aggressive woman. Angry alot, and demanding. But she cared too."

[Yori Hakamada]

"Nah, not anatomically. Personality-wise. She was an aggressive woman. Angry alot, and demanding. But she cared too."

Your blinks as Butcher's family tree is mentally rearranged with less medieval weaponry.
"You must be proud of her. Or maybe under some contractual obligation. Do you think your personality is reminiscent of her?"

[John Slaktare]

"A little bit. Though it's probably better to say my personality is what it is because I knew her. Definitely some major differences. But she was my only living family for most of my life, so she had a strong influence."

"What's your family like? You gotten to talk to them since leaving the combine?"

[Yori Hakamada]

"A little bit. Though it's probably better to say my personality is what it is because I knew her. Definitely some major differences. But she was my only living family for most of my life, so she had a strong influence."

"What's your family like? You gotten to talk to them since leaving the combine?"

"We are...were a military family. I was an only child so it was my duty to follow my father into the DCMS. I... have not been able to contact them since we left. I am not sure of their current status."
Holstering her weapon carefully
"The Combine is usually quite harsh towards traitors, it is possible his career was also ruined by my mistake."

[John Slaktare]

"Well, I hope that ain't true and he's still good. And whatever you did, it ain't got no bearing on how the unit sees you. I done shit I ain't proud of and they took me in anyway. But now that we're here we look out for each other. I appreciate what you do here Lieutenant."

[Yori Hakamada]

"I appreciate you as well sergeant. I feel as though you have a better than usual understanding of my psyche."
Yori looks like she's going to add something but pauses.
"I believe I shall retire for the day. Thank you for your company and advice."

[John Slaktare]

"Yeah, sure thing. Always willing to listen and talk if you like."

He salutes then moves to inspect and clean his revolver.

[Yori Hakamada]

"Yeah, sure thing. Always willing to listen and talk if you like."

He salutes then moves to inspect and clean his revolver.

Yori nods.
"Have a statistically better than average evening."
And then she departs
