Today was busy. I mean, every day has been, but honestly today was even more so.
I didn’t hear about the situation in Asia until after psych. They put us in a sealed series of rooms with limited oxygen and we had to figure out a way out of each of them in turn. We also had a few cylinders of oxygen, and a promise that they’d pull us out if our air got too low.
That’s how a lot of our training is. The consortium doesn’t threaten to kill us, it just gives death a seat next to us and makes sure we introduce ourselves.
Then at lunch we found out about China’s latest round of bullshit. Raghu doesn’t live near the border, but every country in the area is nervous about it. We all know that they’re only sometimes bluffing. India might have more people and more friends, but China’s not afraid of starting shit.
Of course, the consortium operates on both sides, so it’s not going to say anything. Hell, there are a bunch of people from China training here. As far as the consortium’s concerned it’s business as usual.
I can’t tell if we’re stupid for picking these fights, or if the consortium is stupid for pretending it’s all fine. Maybe both.
For bio they hit us with various chemicals and moderate radiation and tested how our nanites handled it. Given what had happened earlier in the day, it seemed appropriate.
