>>@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 how long have you been doing this shit

@CMDR relative time only please i dont care how many dinosaurs youve personally slaughtered in the name of the greater good

>>@MINIMALCAT

@CMDR Your army has an interesting sense of humour.

[byfist]

>>@TRENCHCOAT: Fifteen years, give or take.

Minus a few months due to time... Issues.

[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.

[thingpuncher]

@CMDR pension must be good

@CMDR u choose to stay or cant go home

[lonelywar]

>>@BOARING:

We are fighting against Peace?

[figures.]

[byfist]

@TRENCHCOAT Neither.

[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.

[byfist]

@BOARING No, we fight against the Regency. They simply call it Peace, it makes it easier for the atrocities they commit to be excused.

[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.

>>@BRUNNHILDE

@CMDR "It" wasn't being cooperative? Our transport, or the base?

[lonelywar]

And what sort of atrocities are those?

[He's still not entirely certain what they were doing. Time travel is a bit of a difficult concept to wrap one's head around, especially when it happens so much and so often.]

>>@POINTANDKICK:

Ignoring the admitted amnesia episodes, why France? What's the enemy's goal here?

[ He's taking notes. Extensive ones. Color coded and outlined. ]

[hellene]

>>@WANDERWOMAN

@CMDR Thank you for sparing that soldier.

@CMDR It is not in Man's nature to be peaceful. What is this Regency's goal in this country?

[byfist]

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

[byfist]

@BOARING the erasure of human will.

[byfist]

@BRUNNHILDE the base.

[byfist]

@POINTANDKICK We are not sure as yet. Sometimes their goals are simple, they seek to eliminate a line before it can rise generations later to oppose them.

Other times they wish to divert an event to better suite their notions of eternal peace.

[byfist]

@WANDERWOMAN I do not always have the leisure to listen to my soldiers words, but when I can, I try too.

We do not know yet. Simply that they are noted to being their area and we must stop them before thry further entrench themselves in this time period. Sometimes their goals are to stop someone from simply existing, sometimes it to divert whole events.

More information needs to be obtained first and foremost.

[heilt]

@CMDR How was it not cooperating?

[hellene]

@CMDR It is wise to do so as much as possible. On that note, if you need any help in training anyone, I've been doing nothing else for a long time.

What exactly is going on in this time period? That might help. As much as I've always wished to see an end to mankind warring upon itself, that is not the way.

( And Ares is still alive in this era, too. Knowing that sets her on edge. )

Reconnaissance?

[lonelywar]

@CMDR How is it that changing what was meant to be robs mankind of their free will?

[hakanai]

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

[pointedlook]

@CMDR Both are viable reasons, even in terms of keeping the timeline linear. What else do we know? Is there a file of some sort we have access to? An encyclopedia?
