Location: Armoury Room, Tachanka Military Base, Planet Kursk, Union of Soviet Socialist Space Republiks
Mission: Grab your weaponry and prepare for the next mission


Zhelezna Nadya: "Aight, let's grab my gun from here and hope that Dukov hasn't screwed up the calibration again..."


Zhelezna Nadya: "Wohooh. What do we have here? Now we're talking!"


Zhelezna Nadya: "OK, grip's a bit unhandy but I can live with it. But 'How does it fire?' is the more important question."


*BA-BLAM*
*knock-back*


*BA-BOOM*
Conscript 1: "Ow, my legs!!"
Conscript 2: "Help me!! I'm blinded!"
Zhelezna Nadya: "Rad..."
???: "I see you're having some fun with my new gun."


Zhelezna Nadya: "Oh... it's you, Jarhead. Looks like the doc gave you an upgrade, huh?"
Yuri Ksovlov: "Upgrade my ass! Just look at me!"


Yuri Ksovlov: "He turned me into a walking husk of scrap metal, an embodiment of misery!"
Zhelezna Nadya: "Can't you just build yourself a better suit? Like you have all the skills for it and stuff."
Yuri Ksovlov: "If I did, he'd turn me into something much worse! As if he took pleasure from my sorrows!"


Zhelezna Nadya: "Gee, is this another phase of yours or something?"
Yuri Ksovlov: "No, it all began decades ago, in a university on Planet Novgorod."


Yuri Ksovlov: "I used to be an engineering student with high aspirations. The professors were overall satisfied with my work, declaring me as a paragon for future students. Back then I was about to obtain my doctorate."


Yuri Ksovlov: "However, one day a whole delegation of angry and heavily armed men stood at my front door. Folks from the NKVD, the KGB and SMERSH. They all took me away into a high security prison, supposedly for committing counter-revolutionary actions."


Yuri Ksovlov: "Of course, I've hit the jackpot by being used as a lab rat for their newest interrogation method: removing my head, locking it up in a jar and reading all information out of my brain from an output device underneath said jar. Although they found no proof for my guilt, they kept me trapped inside to conduct even more experiments on my remains."


Yuri Ksovlov: "One fatal design flaw of my cranial vat allowed me to escape from this facility: I found out that it also supported input commands from the brain inside the vat. Thus I could craft an armoured suit from scrap pieces and break out of the prison in no time. They did manage to trace me back, but I was spared from captivity thanks to the intervention of one man. Dr. Semenov was so impressed by my skills that he decided to convince authorities to let me live under one condition..."


Yuri Ksovlov: "Henceforth, I've been used as his personal executioner doing all the dirty work for him, while he remained in the lab. He initially valued my efforts on the frontline but later on he became more and more demanding and less satisfied with the same efforts I brought. However, it wasn't until he weaponized a half-dead Magyar officer to become his new darling where he ultimately stopped giving a shit about me."


Yuri Ksovlov: "I spent my entire life being torn apart by other and being forced to take the beating without opposition. I only live because someone decided to keep me alive. Life itself has turned into a seemingly endless pit of suffering that other people keep digging deeper for me. "


Zhelezna Nadya: "Damn, I thought I've eliminated all empathy and regard for other people's lives but I never felt so bad for someone in decades. This is some really tough shit right there! But whatcha gonna do now? Blow yourself up?"
Yuri Ksovlov: "Oh no. I won't run away from that issue... I've got something else in mind..."
Zhelezna Nadya: "Which would be...?"


Yuri Ksovlov: "Killing the Hun, of course!"
