Meiko: Today I'm talking to Bruce Erickson, a Kirgard colonel who has served under General Keyser and General Leonius. Colonel Erickson, you've known Daniel Vinyard for a long time, haven't you?
Bruce: Yeah. Unfortunately.
Meiko: Your relation with him was not very good I see.
Bruce: Of course not! We served together, that's all we have in common. He's been a thorn in my side all along. If it weren't for him, -I- would've been a general now instead of Knight.
Meiko: How so?
Bruce: During the last war, I was first in line to get promoted, but Daniel couldn't take it and thought he deserved it more. Because he tried to discredit me, I was passed over. That little incident hurt my chances for years afterwards. I was still made a colonel despite all that, so imagine if he hadn't stood in my way back then.
