>>@CMDR. DAY: 001, VALMY FRANCE, POST ARRIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT

[byfist]

Some of you have made it. Some of you didn't. Some of you seem to be transferred without your memories intact again, and I am not sure I know hide nor hair of you. I cannot assist with that at present, but I note your frustrations. I thought we would have time to transfer to base, but it wasn't being... cooperative at this time, and new orders came through that we were needed.

I believe I promised some answers, now is the time. Official time lines state that we aren't due to meet up with the forces of the time period for another few hours, so if you have any pressing concerns whilst you prepare: now is the time to air them.

As for myself, I am Commander Grothia of the Colonies in Opposition, or COST by other names, operating to curb the reign Auspicious Regency of Ever Lasting Peace.

And again: don't go showing your BCE off to every local villager. I sent Da'ud back with another crew, he should be safe and sound with his family, now, for those of you that thought that killing wasn't a viable option.

Welcome to France, soldiers.

@CMDR Your army has an interesting sense of humour.

[byfist]

@MINIMALCAT Do they? What have they done this time?

[hakanai]

@CMDR Whoever assigned us these 'IDs' has certainly had fun at the expense of my friend and I.

It's not a criticism, I am personally delighted at the opportunities, but it does say plenty about your knowledge of us.

[byfist]

@MINIMALCAT Sadly I can't take credit for those. They are the sole responsibility of the TechDacts, back on base, when you were first kitted out.

[hakanai]

@CMDR I'll have to thank them for Takatora's 'maximumtiger,' then. It's quite clever, perfect for a laugh when the inevitable struggles dampen spirits and darken hearts.

@MINIMALCAT victory will be cheerful enough, I should think. Best you keep your eyes on that.

[hakanai]

@CMDR I have been. A good strategist struggles to stop analysing their surroundings even when they'd rather like a break.

[byfist]

@MINIMALCAT and your assessment of our chances so far?

[hakanai]

@CMDR In this battle the flow favours us.

I cannot speak to your operation as a whole, yet.

[byfist]

@MINIMALCAT Nor can anyone, until the battles are won.

But I'll take those favours.
