"Not as if I am not already hunted," states Alex. "The Coalition would 
be sure to execute me if I ever tried to go home. Just because it was an 
ambush designed to take out my entire unit because we pissed off a 
senior officer does not matter."

"If a mercenary was to kill a Coalition officer, even if it was a 
misunderstanding, they would be executed," she continues. "Most king pot 
kingdoms would be similar. Kind of impossible to be rescued if you are 
executed."

She pauses for a few moments before look at the others, "In the 
Coalition, the soldiers would usually explain friendly fire incidents  
as acts of the enemy without going into details. Most families would 
rather hear that their relatives died in combat anyway."
