-- Start of Transcript -- 2000 hours, Streets of Brayeykat, 12/4/2025. Aleksandr: "Nikola, why are we here?" Nikola: "To serve the nation! Lebaroski is threatened by those Satoite pigs from the south, and we have to destroy them." Aleksandr: "Then wouldn't we be deployed to the front [Operation Pagel Storm]? Not Saint Vladimir Street in Brayeykat?" Nikola: "We're looking to take down dirty insurgents and traitors, Aleksandr." Aleksandr: "Look, what I think is-" Nikola: "Choose your words carefully, Aleksandr." Aleksandr: *sigh* "You again with the fanaticism and the self-righteous cause to 'serve the fatherland [Lebaroski]" Nikola: "Don't you remember what they [Alpine] did to us in 2021? They turned us into this backwater." Nikola: "They're [Alpine] just as bad as the Alvertonians..." Aleksandr: "And where is that coming from? In the past century, Lebaroski has struggled. Be it under the Alverian Empire, UCCR, and now its government." Nikola: "Aleksandr, I am not here to talk politics and morals with you." Aleksandr: "If only you listened to me, they're offering so much-" Nikola: "Shut it, I don't want to hear one more word out of your mouth about this war." Aleksandr: "Do you not see the benefits of joining Alpine? How rich do you think the average Southlabrotine has been since 2021?" Nikola: "Do you not see the propaganda they're [Alpine] spewing to the Lebaroskite people? Do you not know the lies they fester?" Aleksandr: "Maybe in your eyes, but what I see is the future of Lebaroski-" Nikola: "No future of Lebaroski is under foreign hands. You're nothing but a fool." Aleksandr: "Then so be it." Nikola: "What?" Aleksandr: "So what if we're under a foreign government? We'd benefit from it, wouldn't we?" Nikola: "You're too far from saving." At 2045 hours, the body of Sergeant Nikola Kachavanya was found dead on Saint Vladimir Street with 4 bullet wounds to the chest and head. An hour later, Corporal Aleksandr Palorkychev was found in an alleyway nearby, sustaining 1 bullet injury to a major artery, bleeding out in that alleyway. -- End of Transcript --
