Mikhail left the office, his heart was still beating fast, like he would run a marathon. He sat down on one of the chairs in the corridor. There were some other people waiting to be let in. Some of them were nervously looking around, some of them looked absolutely calm.
Mikhail inhaled deeply and tried to calm down to think about what the commissar told him. Corsairs. He wasnt spending much time around them, mostly because they were trigger happy bunch, usually not far from shooting Zoners, even. Not being good at history, he tried to remember some of the bar talks and rumours he heard on his travels.
Finally he remembered something. He wasnt sure if it was the right answer, which made him nervous again. Calm down. He thought to himself. Its the most logical explanation.
Minutes passed before he was let in. Those minutes seemed like ages.
He entered the office again, and again saluted the comissar. Now he was noticeably more confident of himself.
"Sir... Comissar, I think I found the answer.", he cleaned his throat and began,"On my travels, I heard there were some conflicts between the Coalition and the Corsair nation. I believe it was because of different methods. The Coalition is now at state of war with them."
There was a moment of silence, the Comissar looked at him expectantly. His look was demanding more than that.
"Well... Knowing the Corsairs, they are arrogant lot, which probably led to conflicts with Coalition. Their methods are also unacceptable. Coalition wouldnt ever degrade to piracy such as they do. Also, they might frown upon Coalition's stance towards the Hessians, which are opressed by Rheinland government and deserve help in their cause as much as Corsairs do. Corsair people might need help, but with their arrogant pride, selfishness and disrespect they wont get any.", Mikhail cleaned his throat once more and added,"Thats what I thought up from my lack of information. It seems like the most logical outcome to me. Also, I knew I will have to leave my past behind when I entered this place. I already got over that, I understand why it is important."
Mikhail was quite amused by his own choosing of words. He hoped it will be enough to satisfy the comissar while awaiting his reply.
