Family... The word seemed alien to Seth. The man using the word talked of "antisocial behavior", which wasn't the case. Is there a problem with not seeing the point in talking? I'm just not used to needing a voice. I'm a soldier. A number. No matter what this commander says. I will have my assignment. I do it, and I get out. No need to talk, except for updating the handler or remote base about my situation. Why is that so hard? Seth took some mental notes about the others:
- The sixth chair's owner has yet to speak, change his line of sight, or look at anyone. Seemed like-minded about talking.
- Commander is trying to force everyone to talk, maybe even to the point of forcing awkwarness. Check back on his motivations.
- 09, Bridges, is concerned about chain of command. And looks attractive.
- The Mad Doctor is overqualified in intellect, yet seems to lack physical qualifications. He is supposed to be tagging along in missions, presumedly.
Seth stifles a sigh. Great. We're a rag-tag group of qualified soldiers. We sound like the start of some war video game...
