Chapter One: Deep Space Music

[Kunanaki]

Thorchan gets in and listens to her story while he buckles in. As he adjusts his seat he says "What we are born with or without doesn't matter. Those Inner Sphere gurus think that because you are born in some great house that you are automatically some great super solider. Ain't that right, sonny." He pokes Jake in the shoulder, laughs a little, then continues " Some Clanners believe the same thing. But that is why you have to EARN your bloodname. Otherwise your just another solider in the military. So it sounds to me like your just a baby bird that got separated from its flock. Is that it? Or are you actually trying to BE someone?" He takes one last puff from his cigar, blows it out the door. He then pulls out a knife from his boot and cuts off the end of the cigar after putting it out on the knife. When he returns the knife to his boot he looks straight at Alice making sure both his eyes make contact with hers.
