A History of War
Life is difficult enough for a Lirian soldier. Training for ten years, hunting evil deimos, solving crimes, facing powerful weilders, keeping the peace in a tension-filled world, each Lirian soldier has a lot on their plate. It doesn't become any easier if you have to deal with a dark past that looms at every corner. How will Lais Felix and Helen Song, two best friends with tragic pasts, handle life as soldiers while running from their past? Will they manage to escape their tragic beginnings? Or will the past finally catch up to them?

LAIS
Don't get me wrong, I love playing detective. I love figuring out secrets and uncovering clues and debunking mysteries and all that stuff. But what I hate is having to sit down hours on end on my chair, droning away on a repetitive case. Repetition dulls the mind, it makes it prone to habits, and habits make it difficult to adjust to the new. Anyway, my point is I hate sit-down types of work. And that's basically why after another of Sgt. Astre's signal hit us and I was able to trim down my suspects, I decide to stand up for a little stretch.
I head out the computer room, my eyes grateful for the bright lights flooding the Southern headquarters' hallways. Ah, light, freedom!
I head for a nearby coffee vending machine and get my dose of the wakey-wakey stuff. Then I remember that there's a nice spot here at the headquarters, that veranda where you can have a decent view of the sky. And thus I head there.
