Slightly surprised about the commisar's reaction, especially the fact that he did not instantly shot Nikolai, he thought for a moment. His situation...that was a good quesion, and a difficult choice to make.
"My situation? On the first view it may sound simple and slightly stereotyped. The young son of two soldiers who lost both in a cowardly attack of those Alliance pigs. Some would say "That's war" now, others would even say "we would have done the same" but okay. Back then I had no time to thin about such irrelevant things. The Coalition helped me to manage my childhood, and I learnt what it means to do his part in the great system. It was a hard time, but all that steeled my body, and my mind...so I don't think I am that what you would call a typical maniac at all. But to answer your question: If it would be needed I would die for my comrades and the Coalition. But I would marry Queen Carina before causing another comrade's death, if you understand what I mean. There are times where I have to do more important things than fulfilling what I promised. I am not here to be a...how do they call it out there...? A 'Rambo', yeah. I am here to adapt myself into the system and serve the Coalition...that I will get some payback is just a nice side effect"
Nikolai grins a bit, but switches to a serious face as there is still an unpredictable commisar in front of him...and a shotgun under his face.
