In the ruins

[itbelongsinamuseum]

[After the battle in the Iraqi desert as the bodies had been cleaned up, Alex could be found walking around the dig site. Stopping to look at newly broken statues or just around where the battle had been. It wasn't really a very big site all told, but did that really matter?]

It's weird. This place has been lying quietly for millennia and war returned to it like this...At least it didn't turn into a full-blown massacre.

Guessing won't help us, I'm afraid. We're left with no clues.

At least the hostages were saved. It's good to see how fast and precise Unity Group can be under pressure.

Right. I was really worried when I heard it was a hostage situation, but we managed to avoid any civilian casualties.

I have some experience with dealing with such situations. And not just me, apparently.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

Right. And there will be more in the future, so the rest of us are going to learn, no matter what.

Considering you were just an ordinary girl not so long ago, you did really well during this fight. You're a fast learner.

Let's just say that terror and self-preservation goes a long way.
