"..." Annie pauses to take that in, glancing toward Alex and shaking her head. "No way of knowing, I guess. Sounds shitty."

Sounds like a different kind of nightmare. At least no one appeared to be eaten, or turned into creatures who could only exist to eat. Annie shifts and pulls herself up, clearing the overhang she'd been under.

"Mm. Not like the training or experience goes away, but you're right. Fewer politics and corrupt officials to deal with here." Not because she feels they don't exist here, but as part of the refugees, she's not allowed to be in positions where she'd have meaningful contact with anyone leaning that way.

She doesn't mind. It's the same no matter where people go, only the goals here seem to be less about eradicating human populations... these days.
