Capt. Dylan and Lt. Bosio are typical soldiers in the far future, and I think they're supposed to represent the soldiers of past, present & future. They get a message in a bar, which is where they spend a lot of time, to report to mission headquarters. They are to go to Loopus 5. a colony where everyone was killed. They are sent to investigate because they are "soldier boys". In the century of this story, soldiers drink a lot and aren't very interesting. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
