[shest]

I'm going to list a series of words.

If they are at all familiar to you please respond otherwise dismiss this.

Cold War
Spetsnaz
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nikita Khrushchev
Tselinoyarsk

[About an hour later on the Rocket frequency:]

My name is Adamska. Code name Ocelot. Call me either. I'm a GRU Major if that means anything to any of you.

I would like to speak with whomever is in charge here.

Shouldn't you like your job?

[Especially if you were born into it. She figures most people would either embrace it or run for the hills.]

[shest]

There are aspects I enjoy.

[Bullshit. He loves everything about it.]

[paopuprincess]

Like killing people?

[Not beating around the bush, here. Are you a good guy or a bad guy?]

[shest]

Only a madman enjoys killing people.

[Killing people is the job of a soldier. Kill or be killed. It doesn't mean he enjoys it, at least not in the way she's asking, he doesn't think.]

[paopuprincess]

[That didn't really answer her question.]

Will you be okay? Being away from the war, I mean.

[shest]

Hard to say. I haven't even been here for a day.
