*Fortis enters the lounge.*
Fortis: Hello there.
Kugerfang: Wha? Oh, another new guy?
Fortis: That’s right. I’m Fortis. Arrived on base last night.
Kugerfang: Well, what do you think?
Fortis: Impressive. I spent quite a while at the biology labs earlier. At least until the scientists got irritated with me and kicked me out.
Kugerfang: Went to see the aliens? Those are some ugly sonova-----s we captured. I was the one who brought in the live ones.
Fortis: I also went to the vehicle bay. That was a most impressive starship you have here.
Kugerfang: The big one? That’s not ours. It belongs to GTX2GvO.
Fortis: GTX here? How the hell did X-Com afford his rates?
Kugerfang: I dunno. A word of advice, rookie: Don’t go near it.
Fortis: Oh?
Kugerfang: Yeah, he has the autopilot rigged to take any…unauthorized passengers on quite a wild ride.
Fortis: How would you know?
Kugerfang: …I saw someone else try to take it for a joyride.
Fortis: Quite a nasty joke for any of his squad mates. But at least you got his good boots.
Kugerfang: Yeah, the punk deserved- Wait! How did you know that!?
Fortis: Heh…
Kugerfang: Oh, jeez! Don’t tell me you’re another one of those annoying psychics!
Fortis: Naw, I’m just messing with you. The Chosen told me about it.
Kugerfang: I’d knew he’d talk. I’ll never go on joyrides again.
Fortis: At least you'll never eat so much pasta and meatballs before you do.
Kugerfang: You’re telling me. That was quite a mess I left in- ARGH! How are you doing that!? TC couldn’t have known that!
