In the cube

          Should this story (scene) be longer ?

          In the cube battles are fought. Lives are lost. It's an ancient war replica. Replicated are the numbers of lives lost. Soldiers lose their mind. And also a lot of fun...for those with nothing to care about.
          It's called The Cube because of the topology of that bit of space made the war debris form a cube. 
          On board of the entrance complex, in the great hall, soldiers swear the faith for which they fight. With chins up they repeat the commander's words:
             ...
          - WE SWEAR TO KEEP ALIVE  THE FAITH THAT MADE US BE!
    
            Silence...the commander takes a look and leaves. As he outed  through the great door, the soldiers behind him with a fluid and coordinated motion put their hands on their crotches and shout:

           - WE ALSO SWEAR TO COME BACK HOME WITH OUR JEWELERY INTACT!

           Laughs reverberate. The commander came back and shouted:

          -INDEED, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
