You get all that from making and serving coffee?
[At that, his expression closes down to some degree.]
It is something to do. There are more suitable things, but I am disinclined to engage in a martial career in a world I care little for and a war I care even less about.

[ She nods in full agreement. ]
Yeah, I don't blame you. I don't have a whole lot of fondness for being drafted to a whole new universe and expected to play toy soldier.

I can't imagine any who would. Those with the kind of sense of duty are oft already sworn elsewhere.
Yet there are plenty of people running to help. I didn't even consider working with RISE because of their government affiliation.
The war coming here and the means seems to have caused its own sentiments. There is fear and reaction in the face of such immediacy. As well as this government's retaliation measures.
[ She waves that off. ]
People felt that way before the war was brought to their doorstep. I was here months before and I saw plenty of imPorts jumping to the government's aid.

Besides a blind desire to help and be useful? Not really.
Something, if they were wise, the government would go out of its way to foster. Dangerous in a powerful population and fickle.
Yeah, I don't think the 21st century is known for its wisdom.
Yeah, of course. Do you need me to come over now?
What happened?
What happened?
maybe? not sure yet.
dad's been ported out for the past week and just came back like around a day ago. i think he saw something back home that shook him up. but he wont tell me what it is. he'd told me how i got shot back home and how i survived, and how he meet new survivors. but other than that i know he's hiding something from me. which is fine, it happens, but that means that he still needs someone other than me for support. if he cant talk to me about it, then he has to talk to someone else about it.Thanks for the heads up.
I'm heading that way and giving him a call.

Kid, I think it'd be more stressful to think his son isn't worrying about him.
But I doubt it'll come up. I'll do what I can.

Your father is avoiding me.
I can't recall a century on any planet that is. Seems to be a deficit of humanity in general.
Part of why I'm surprised your generation hasn't attempted to make any new life.
There are plenty of rumors, some of them with enough groundwork to call them confirmed. In simpler times, I'd try not to think too much about it.
[ She shrugs. ] I meant more on the technological-front rather than organic.
They go together, for us. Though I will say, you've not sold me on the concept of AI being tantamount of human folly at all.
