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 may need your help with it.

( she could do it but picking is hard. and though she's been going by valkyrie to avoid giving her real name she could do with something better )

[dipolar]

Alright. Is there any particular nationality contributing to the war that you're partial to?

Are you a man or woman?

[heilt]

I'm female. And Swiss. I'm not favourable to any side of the war.

[dipolar]

Then it may be best for you to pose as a German woman. Apologies, but I'm hazy on names from that country.

Tanya?

[heilt]

I don't think that would be the best solution. At the least it would be suspicious.

[dipolar]

Then I'm waiting to hear your solution. The Swiss share a border with the Germans. It's logical.

If you have an accent, you'll have to fake it or refrain from speaking. So either way, you'll have to be someone you're not. Now which one do you think you can pull off?

[heilt]

I don't need to say much to do my job.

[dipolar]

What is your job?

[heilt]

I'm a doctor.

[dipolar]

The only profession that requires you to speak more than a medical professional is a telemarketer. Don't be foolish.

You speak German, all Swiss people do. Your username is German. Just speak as you normally would and no one will even be able to tell the difference. Tanya.

[heilt]

I'm not foolish. But I don't relish the opportunities that would be afforded to me for being German in this time, whether I was native or not.

[dipolar]

I'm listening to you plan to tie both of your hands behind your back. Yes, you're foolish.

You'll cut contact with your comrades because you want to remain silent for however many weeks we're in Gallipoli because you're afraid of a little prejudice backlash? Illogical. You'll be a nurse, not a soldier. They won't give a damn so long as you do your job and do it well.

"I don't have to say much" means you'll say more than enough. You need a name and a backstory. So accept mine, or get out and come up with your own.
