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.

i get that rider sounds stupid. but saber is fine as a nickname, right?

Absolutely not. You can use it as a nickname, but you still need an actual name the soldiers/COs can call you.

dont be so picky. just a nickname is fine.

No, it's not fine. Commanding/senior officers don't address their underlings by their nicknames. They can, but they won't.

they will if thats the only name i give them.

You don't understand. You have to follow the orders of these people or it'll be insubordination.

what makes you think i care about that?

Failure. If you fuck this up for the team, it's on you.

Remember that this wasn't the decision of our superiors, so don't try to use that as leverage. This was simply a suggestion you made.

Saber, use your true name if need be. It's British so it should be suitable.
