Before Gallipoli, it was discussed that we should come up with aliases to call each other, and have backstories to speak of while there was downtime in the war. At the time, we knew the Regency was there, but they wouldn't be so visible. It was enough to not be asked too much by the natives of the time, and allowed us the conditions we needed to blend in as a unit of reinforcements that was beached at the wrong location.

The situation may be different here, but I'd suggest we come up with different aliases from before, considering we'll be facing the Regency out in the open. Using your actual name isn't suggested- it could cause problems and endanger the rest of this cell if you do so. Try to pick something you'll remember easily enough.

Feel free to suggest names and ideas for yourselves, or help others. The BCE has a list of them you can pick from. The sooner we can compile a list, the easier it will make it for all of us to recall while in the middle of the mission.

[Boy, talking like this is a reminder of speaking with soldiers before battles. That was a long time ago, and he's getting back into the hang of it. Also, guess who's bad at suggesting names? THIS GUY. Thankfully, the BCE has a posh name generator that can be found here.]

the fact that you say you don't know if their knowledge "extends to everyone" is reason enough for fake names
if we don't know shit then just do it anyway
it's not like it's fuckin hard to do & it can't hurt

besides some of these idiots need to learn how to play a character & believe me, a name helps

This is why I said I speak only for myself. I am sure others might notice that I do not use one, so this is my explanation.
It is also information I have had for a while, and keeping it to myself started to feel deceitful.

For some it might. I have tried different masks to blend in with the past few missions, and it is always difficult; I feel usually it only makes me more noticeable, as none of it seems natural.
What I mean to say is that what we are called to do often demands a great amount of a specific skill of duplicity that many do not have, and that it is not easy to learn.
