There was no infection. Nothing like what's been described as happening here. [He holds tightly as he can to this train of thought, this memory, not trusting that it might slip from him again.]

To some degree, the Troop is sentient, yes, but...they didn't outright attack us in the manner this current mission is claiming them to do. This is...wrong. Something about this whole matter is still off but I'm having trouble trying to pinpoint it.

[Regardless, he knows he can't just ignore the warnings impressed upon them with the mission briefing. They're still essentially heading blind into things, simulation or not, and they had definitely not been trained to be careless.

At least there's no guesswork in where they're to go. The hall ahead of them leads out to transports loading up while others set off in groups on foot. Sounds like things have already gotten a lot worse than initially anticipated.]
