The man smiled and nodded when asked about the lack of water. "Well, I think I've been walking for about a week. I had to ditch my suit of mechanical armor, it ran out of coolant." But, as quickly as Arkain's expression faded away, he knew he had explaining to do. He would look down, before looking back at Arkain again. "All right, guess I'll come out with it seems how the rest of my squad is most likely dead. My name is Ray Poward. I was in the 46th Mechanized Infantry. I am indeed a soldier, there's a boot camp not too far from here, I think. I've been wandering around for what seemed like a week, so my memory may be fuzzy about that." He was telling the truth, his voice didn't change pitch or stop to think.<br/><br/>"From what I remember, it was just another training mission for the rookies of the squad. Nothing fancy. But, when we finally get to our objective, these...mutants came out of nowhere and started killing everyone! Ripping them in half! Popping heads off! It was horrifying! I tried to shoot them but my gun jammed and I fled. I think I lost their trail, but maybe those that came to chase me weren't so lucky." He said, sweating from his story. Ray was quite terrified of what happened, his face showing quite a bit of fear and anxiety.
