"Too long." Zane replied laconically before fully processing what Marshall had said.

"Ensign?" He thought to himself.

"Someone with no pins at all?" He questioned himself in his mind. This was his kind of man.

"Lieutenant Alexander Zane, Lyle. Glad to meet you. Been in the thick of it yet?" The question was a common one and he wanted to know whether the ensign had seen any action or was still training on Toledo or Isis in simulations. Zane also saw Commodore Sophia Anderson walk into the bar in the corner of his eye.

"Yeah, I've been in a few skirmishes with the Bounty Hunters, and also a small skirmish with the Liberty Navy when they stayed too close to the Omicron Minor Jumphole in Alaska and refused to be warned off. That wasnt even a battle, a few salvoes from the Osiris Battleship, I think it was The Wrath of Ma'at, that also responded sent the LN forces scurrying for cover." Lyle said.

"I havent been in any major furballs with the Nomads yet, a few encounters yeah, but no major fleet action. But the Nomad fighters are tough little buggers,"

"But you know..." Lyle leaned in closer to Alexander, "I was a wingman in a recon mission, snuck into the Omicron Iota system and took some pictures of Nomad installations, along with updating the navmap, that mission got hairly when the Keepers finally noticed us." Lyle said in a lower voice.

"We had to pull back out of the system before the recon was completed. The other Order agent got off scott free but me, the keepers, there was about 4 fighters on my tail by the tme i got back to Minor, chased me through 4 systems, first to Omicron 98 (//i think) then back to Iota since they cut me off, then to Delta and then finally to Minor, I was able to get to Isis and the Isis blew most of the Nomads to dust."
