622 wasn't exactly impressed by the unvoiced response. It might just have been his training's focus on squad-based everything, but he didn't think it was a good idea for anyone short of Lord Vader himself to be wandering around here alone at night.

Still, disagreement wasn't a reason to withhold information about this place, anyway. "They're still around at night, but quite a bit more dangerous," he said, indicating some thin lines of scars on his unbandaged arm. "They change along with the rest of this place." Which had been illustrated as graphically as was possible that night when the buses had gotten back just a few minutes late from the town.

Oh, great. 622 sighed slightly, steeling himself a little. He hated getting called crazy, but it seemed like he might be on the path towards that again. Still, he wasn't going to lie. "I am. But all that really matters is that I'm a soldier." Someone capable, not some gibbering idiot who couldn't hold a gun straight. "You've certainly got an advantage over me, pretty much everything about this place is confusing on some level for me." Well, that was an exaggeration. Mostly he just had no clue how to handle civilians, and unfortunately, that meant just about everyone. Most of them being from a pre-hyperdrive society just made things that much more boggling.
