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.

Will you use it? I'll be calling you that unless we're alone and there's no eavesdropping scum.

It means longevity.

[thingpuncher]

sure
not like i can go by midnighter in the trenches
i like it better for not coming up with it
thanks man

is that why you chose it?

[dipolar]

You're welcome, but M's shorter. I will be happy to rid myself of the titles when we return to BASE.

Why would I choose a name that means longevity? It's the first one I picked from a list.

[thingpuncher]

nope im b from now on

because were going to a dangerous place and could use all the luck we can get
i didnt know there was a list

[dipolar]

Yeah, BS.

I've made one with a few that I know. I wrote them down and have them so if there are other Asian COST members who need one, I'll have it prepared.

As for the danger...we'll well equipped. It won't be kind on the psyche.

[thingpuncher]

is that why you picked shaw?
you fucking dick

thats unexpectedly thoughtful
u done this shit before?

yeah which is why a little luck never hurt anybody

[dipolar]

No I thought of the joke just now. Don't pretend to be upset at it.

Yes.

You're right. Though I don't believe in luck so much.

[thingpuncher]

im not upset
its fucking great
its bs because the name is bs
fucking perfect

good you can give me pointers
i wasnt designed for subtlety

me neither
but some of these kids do

[dipolar]

😑you would enjoy such a thing. I shouldn't be surprised.

I will be around if you have questions. We aren't exactly moving anywhere.

They're naive. They should face reality as soon as possible, it will save them a great amount of pain.

[thingpuncher]

oh come on
you know youd love it if your name was "fake name" in chinese or some shit 🙄

you know how to sound convincingly australian?

u know that tough love thing never really works right

[dipolar]

It could make an alright name. Sudonym is jiǎmíng. That will be my family name. Jiaming Shou. Thanks.

No. I'm not good at accents. Subtlety is important. If the accent is subtle, it'll help. Choose a few words to practice with a British accent or something.

It did for me.
