FROM: @CMDR | TO: @ALL

ATTN: ALL PERSONEL.

We have had recent recruits that have joined our fight. I understand you have been briefed and given training for this mission and our stay in Aranean society. As for the rest: I am your Commanding Officer, Grothia, previously of the Regency. Unfortunately, at present, I am often tied up in diplomacy meetings with the high court. But you can reach me via your BCE, or at certain times during the day in COST's supplied quarters.

Field Officer Young, who is at present wearing of her human appearance, is also present. She can be found at similar through similar means.

If you have any concerns, you may bring them to either of us.

As for your mission here. Our main concern is to secure COST's supply of Ymir, this substance is responsible for powering all forms of time travel in the Galaxy and the dimension shifting required to do so. It is the bones of the fallen God, Ymir and it seems mankind was not made to touch their Gods. Aranean's are a species genetically made to mine such a thing and no human is capable of it. That is why they are absolutely crucial and our alliance with them over the Regency, at all costs, must be assured.

At present, High Queen Thsch is our best bet of this. There is no denying the woman is cruel. A slight is enough to make her snap your limbs, one by one. But the natural Jhashcn bias to those who would eat those who suppress inclines her to us, and we need to foster that fondness.

Her daughter, on the other hand, wishes to overthrow her mother, as is their way. So far in my dealings with her, she has been far more moderate. She favours neither heavy slavery nor absolute forms of punishment. She even has an open, qualitative relationship with her brother as I have observed them. They frequently whisper together at the meetings I have attended. That may be appealing, but she will have no bar with us, as we cannot at present assure what she needs to take the throne.

That is as much as my limited position has allowed me to learn. Sadly neither Officer Young or I can move too freely due to our high profile scrutiny. Remember: if it moves, it is a spy, here. There is nothing you say, or do, that is not being reported to someone unless it is done through the BCE.

As such: COST operatives, I require a debrief of your actions, so they we may assist one another. If you have an idea, a skill, speak up, so that we can use it. This is not a usual type of battle, more's the pity, and awareness of movements is needed more than ever.

For someone who's usually so quiet, you sure know how to go on a tangent, is what I'm saying. I had a good laugh.

But at least you're rational.

For what it's worth, I agree with you. In my time, I commanded men and we wouldn't get anywhere if we left everything up to a vote. That's why we have leaders, so they can make the quick decisions when they're needed.

In this case, we've been left to our own devices and for a reason, I think. Maybe they were hoping for someone like you to speak up and step up to the plate.

What would you make of that?

I don't like speaking to any of you, I just try to make appearances when shit's about to go south.

I think it's ridiculous.
I've never been a leader and I don't intend to start, I'm trained to follow orders if they're coherent enough to follow.
That's why I recommended Commander Grothia.

Appearing just before then usually means you're already too late. You know that already, though, don't you.


That's why you're the rational one, then. I can speak for myself and many others when I say that leaders don't like following other leaders.
That would explain why you see many doing their own thing here.
[ Achilles included.... ]

You'd depend on our commander to make the right call after what happened in Gallipoli?

Yes.

I'd depend on our Commander to make a call.
I agreed to join COST as it was a choice and I never felt like I'd made any real ones in my life.
For myself.
But that was also the last choice I expected to make.
I thought I was joining a rebellion.
What I've joined is a throng of misfits who seem content to yell over one another.

I will follow orders.
When they're given to me.

[personal profile] kometes 2018-05-15 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
But not if you don't agree with them. You're still an individual with your own free will.
You've proven to me before that you have it in you to be selfish. Your willingness to follow orders makes you a good soldier, but your ability to be critical of what your leader does makes you an even better warrior.

You desire the truth, don't you?

I want you to find it with me. Once this is all settled.

For now, I'll support what you've had to say.

I don't know what I want, Achilles.
I thought I did, I was given a future elsewhere but it's gone now.
So I don't give a damn what truths there are to discover.
I don't give a damn about COST or the Regency.
I will follow the orders I'm given until I die.
That is all.
That's all tehre was ever going to be.

[ He must be pretty distraught to have made a typo like that...

This comes as a surprise to him, mostly because he'd been counting on Hei to follow his lead. His mind is strong, but there's a lot of room for doubt.

More than that, though, what he says is troubling. ]


What
So you're willing to give your life to COST because it's a better alternative to throwing it away entirely?

You know
I can't think of anything worse than becoming an empty shell of a man.

If you have no purpose left, you should start looking for it.

Help me find Noctis.
If you won't fight for your own purpose, then fight for his.

[ HEI... Achilles thinks that it's a joke at first.

Then he remembers he's not the type to make jokes. ]


He considers you a dear friend.

It's not an insult. If you were my friend, I would do the same for you.

He won't die, he has too much to live for and to see to the end.

I never asked for your advice but for your camaraderie. If you refuse to join me, then what I share with you regarding what I find ends here.

Manipulating me like this is not camaraderie, even someone as fucked up as I am knows that.
But I'll join you, if it means getting any information pertaining to him.

Good.
This is now our personal battle, after all. Of course I'd share everything with you as long as you're willing to stay by my side.
