There was this Mastigos mage I went on deployment with, along with some rookies, who a week into the engagement was, oddly, doing all of the maintenance and logistics duties.

Man, gave me the goddamned heebie-jeebies. She made our target run off a cliff shouting the lyrics to the Canadian national anthem, you know?
[Downs his cup and fills it again, chuckling as he did so.]
