"Honestly if you were willing I would be more than willing to vouch and introduce you those whom you would find yourself in good company...but you ain't here for that now are you? Not to mention, very few of those guys are still alive. Sacrificed themselves to save others some of them were guilty admittedly but all were redeemed themselves in the end. Not like living deadmen like us fought our ways out of hell just to return to another of our own making and all too unwilling to forgive. To forget. Just for the sake of vengeance. Not sure if our mission will bring us salvation or another ticket to hell."
"So kid...let me tell you truth behind the Dragon and Kraken. Why should you reconsider your relationship with dear Dr. Kristina." With that he exits his power armor. Revealing a man wrapped head to toe in bandages that reeked of rot, preservatives, and medicine. "When the bombs fell...for us they fell twice. Two distinct yet separate barrages from both sides. We were all still fighting and killing each other. They didn't care for friendly fire either way. The lucky ones...died. Vaporized if they were really lucky or slowly from the radiation. We no longer had any logistics you see. Forced to watch them die in agony as their flesh and bones melted away. Screaming in agony and begging for mercy. Those....were the lucky ones as hard as it is believe."
"The rest of us...were betrayed and stranded. On the other side of the world surrounded by the enemy we had just slaughtered and destroyed. We had no logistics. No warning. NOTHING. Only the hope to see a home that no longer existed and burning for revenge against those who betrayed us all so. Against those who destroyed the world...yet most of all we hated ourselves for making it happen. A lesson we all learned too late," he speaks in a detached, smoky calm voice lost to the past.

Everyone around me was melted or vaporized into ash. We were all too close to the blast epicenter. I was sealed screaming in agony in what I thought was my coffin as I was literally cooked alive in it. I could smell my flesh burn and cook just like pork. I felt the fat and water in body boil away. My very brain baked within my armor. I thought it was the end as my power armor melted aroundnd me and I was cooked alive inside it...but the radiation kept me alive," The captain explained as he pealed off the bandages covering his face. Revealing the face that should have belonged to an insane charred ghoul.
"I was one of the luckier ones, my armor despite melting and trapping me inside it. Protected me from the debris, glass, and sand that flayed everyone else alive. The storms...never stopped while we were there. I only cooked."
