**Solar War Vignettes - Plateia in 60 Minutes** ---- Date: 0123 R.C. \\ Author: kojima ---- Today we sat down with Henry Takemura. Mr. Takemura joined the [[wiki:cfa|Coalition Forces Authority]] when he was fresh out of high school, eager to make something of his life. Now he’s just one of hundreds of thousands on the frontlines against the [[wiki:unionstate|Union State.]] //Henry walks alongside the ‘Plateia in 60 Minutes’ reporter. He’s archetypical of many working-class Tenzanese: olive skinned, calloused palms, and well muscled. The pair sit in director's chairs before Takemura’s tank. SUNAYARI 10K is scrawled on the gun barrel.// E.A: “What’s that mean?” //Henry looks back at the engraving, he laughs as answers. Albescu is not in on the joke.// H.T: “Oh that, something stupid. The old LT made us scrape our first draft. Something about ‘unbecoming for Coalition troops’.” E.A: “A lot of the other Marines we’ve talked to complain about getting bogged down. Ambushed for hours at night. How’ve your crew been doing?” //Henry crosses his legs, chewing a wad of gum before he answers.// H.T: “Well, uh. Y’know.” He pauses. “It can get kinda hairy when they come at us early at night. They know which spots are still hot from the day, and they hide their tanks there. Or they wait for their little infantry guys to hit us with RPG-15s when we’re going down a pass. Blew out my boys’ last tank like that.” E.A: “You seem confident for a man who lost a tank.” //Henry laughs. Again, Albescu is not in on the joke.// H.T: “Can’t stay mad at them, if they didn’t give us any trouble they wouldn’t be worth fighting!” * ‘Plateia in 60 Minutes’, reporting from the Orubian Front with Elijah Albescu (0123 R.C.) {{tag>vignettes solar_war}}
