I understand some of you are reluctant to change your names or use a different moniker when we make the drop in 1916's Gallipoli. If you're not from a standardized Earth, I suggest you reconsider. If you need assistance, I'll assign you one myself. You don't have to consider them names but codenames to be discarded after we return to BASE.

An example of this: Rider is now Kale. I told him I would notify you all of this alteration.

Think wisely about the impact small things could have on a timeline. They add up and any amount of skepticism brought about by our foolishness is too much. Thanks.

ok now im curious
gimme a name
it can be a food but nothing as lame as kale

[dipolar]

I know just the one for you. Basil, as per our conversation about spices.

I'll know exactly who they're referring to at all times.

[tommygunned]

weirdly i actually dont hate that

are you gonna name anybody a non food name

[dipolar]

Then you're Private Basil. Or whatever position you'll work up to there.

I've named someone Huan. There were many Chinese people immigrating to Australia. It should be fine.

[tommygunned]

solid. do i get a first name.

yeah good as long as everyone isnt a food bc that would get mad suspicious mad quick

[dipolar]

Margaret.

Yes, Kale was randomized and Basil suits you. The others won't be so unvaried.

[tommygunned]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO

i feel like i should thank you for saying basil suits me and idk why. but thanks.

[dipolar]

Ellie?

Basil is good. You're welcome.

[tommygunned]

better but im prob gonna be posing as a soldier so. allie? al? albert. is that a thing

[dipolar]

If you're certain. I'd say be careful, but there's no such thing. Kill as many as you can.

Albert is a thing. Albert Basil sounds believable enough as well. Would you like to go on the list with that one?

[tommygunned]

i mean id rather it be me than someone whos never led an army before. bc i have led an army. so i mean. id rather it be me. anyway obviously i will kill whoever i need to kill

yea im good w it it sounds super snooty but i can be snooty

[dipolar]

If you're that experienced, you could be recognized for your knowledge. Maybe you'll be made a senior officer.

(gently strokes ego ig)

Understood. Thanks, I'll add it.

[tommygunned]

thx

and lol maybe! i dont know how many ppl would like my leadership style
its mostly yelling

[rebuffs ego stroke with self-deprecation, Your Move Burger Man]

[dipolar]

So long as there's coherency to the yelling, that's most of what I've known of the military.

They're all very loud.

[tommygunned]

you were a soldier ?

[dipolar]

Yes, something like that. Not recognized as an official army, but I fought wars for the armies of others.

I guess that's merc work.

[tommygunned]

[Hm. There are a lot of moralizing or condescending things she could say here, aren't there.]

were you good enough at it that you can keep these ppl from getting killed ?

[dipolar]

I'm good at what I do and I will do whatever I can for COST.

If that means keeping our teammates from getting killed, that is my duty as well.
