You walk through the grocery store closest to your home, putting in only what you absolutely need. The war has been raging for almost a year now, and even though your home colony of Side 6 is neutral, there's still not as many goods as there were a year ago. What's more, the goods that

"Oh my gosh! I haven't seen you since high school! How have you been?"
