"I am not too worried about my family," the red haired scout responds. 
"Chi-Town might be different, they are kind of nuts up there, but Lone 
Star tends to be more pragmatic. They don't for example take a runaway 
Psi-Hound on her other pack mates."

"What you do from here is up to you," she continues. "Not as if even 
getting home is not fraught with its own dangers. Transport between the 
New German Republic and the Coalition is done with high altitude 
aircraft that travel really fast."

"As I said, I cannot go home so wherever I am needs to be home. I would 
offer to be your guard but doubt I could do that job for that long. I am 
decent at fighting but I am far more of a ranger than a guard or 
soldier. Don't know where I might go from here."
