ZEX noted the general disturbance with a tinge of concern. The last time this sort of thing had happened, the entire cafeteria had erupted in a full-scale riot. Hopefully that would not be the case this time.

Well, he had other things to focus on. Takaya, hmm...

"Well, I'm not in active service anymore," ZEX said a bit casually, poking at his fish. "But I used to serve the VUX military, back during the War." It was unlikely that Takaya would know what either of those were, knowing ZEX's luck, but there was no harm in checking and no point in lying. "That was many years ago though..."

And if Takaya didn't know what the War was, there was no need for ZEX to apologize for slaughtering countless hundreds of humans just yet.
