Italy's brother found a means of escape on his own. I've been here for a month, and no progress. How irritating...

In the meantime, I find my new profession as an auto mechanic satisfying, at least. It keeps the mind sharp, looking at engines and diagnosing problems, keeping my reflexes sharp, working with my hands. The cars here are really poorly

Drills? Soldier skills? Most of the people here aren't soldiers.

[reluctantnanny]

That isn't any excuse to drop your guard while in a hostage situation.

Tell me, young woman. If, suddenly in the middle of classes at school all the drone teachers there suddenly broke out in homicidal rage against all the students, you would be able to defend yourself? Against a group of adults intent on murdering everything in sight?!

[choosemetolive]

Yes.

That's right, you couldn't!! That's why training is absolutely vital to--

[bustydefense]

These training drills you mention... you sound pretty serious about them.

[reluctantnanny]

One should be serious about everything they take on in life, ma'am.

[bustydefense]

You're right.

I meant more along the lines of... does one need to have already been a... a soldier to participate?

[reluctantnanny]

So long as you are ready to accept your duties as a soldier from now on, determined to fight for your freedom from this place, then you will be admitted.

What is your name?

[doktorhomicide]

You ah a soldier, too? Zat is vonderful news! Maybe I should tell Scout about zhis to keep him from getting bored...

[reluctantnanny]

Eh, don't tell me you're also...?

[doktorhomicide]

Ja, I am a soldier, as vell! Maybe not a conventional soldier, but I served time in Vorld Var II. I have been a field medic for almost thirty years now.

[reluctantnanny]

...Ah...

I...I see! *comrade meter has gone up 30 points! - Germany is staring at you with glistening (but manly and totally heterosexual) eyes right now* We have similar pasts then-- I never realized! *holds out a hand to shake* You can call me Ludwig; what is your name, brother?!

Looks like the town's got something right by assigning you as an auto mechanic.

Training drills are bound to be highly beneficial in a place like this! I'll drop by to see how it progresses.

[reluctantnanny]

It is certainly...uncanny, how it worked out like that.

Ah-- Please, try to behave yourself if you do, Bruder.

[hisironcross]

No need to tell me that, West. It's military training! The exercises will benefit from having me around.

[reluctantnanny]

Perhaps...

GUESS WHO'S BRAINWASHED : D... AGAIN

[burningspiral]

Soldiers for what, Dad? What are you gonna fight? And all the soldiers should be in the military! Not the park!

[reluctantnanny]

Simon...

*knots his brow even more than it usually is*

We won't be fighting anything, don't worry. It's just exercising.

Simon, where's MOMO?

[Fix'd for brainwashed icon :|]

[burningspiral]

[Even the kid's voice sounds different]

But why would you want to do drills? Can't that get really dangerous, Dad?

She's probably in her room, like normal... did something happen?

[reluctantnanny]

There's nothing dangerous about a few jumping jacks-- Now please, I need to find your sister.

*jogs off to look for MOMO*
