"How do you find this fortress?" I asked Steer as we sat on the bench in front of the fountain in the cathedral district, looking up at the clear sky simulated by the pale blue energy shield above us.
Steer was silent for a moment, then let out a long, wistful sigh. "A miracle, a miracle beyond the limits of human imagination. 48 hours ago, I would have never imagined I'd have such an incredible experience... Ha, alien planets, that concept really shouldn't be popping up in the mind of a member of the magic side, should it?"
"And ironically, those forces on the science side, which is opposite to you, are basically useless in this intergalactic war—don't tell me you're actually hung up on this?"
Steer seemed restless without his cigarettes, fumbling in his pocket and then letting his hand fall in dismay. "A habit formed over many years isn't so easily broken, just like an addiction to smoking. I can't just quit my disdain for the science side."
