FORTY-NINE : don't turn your back

[Action: household]
[Olivier awakens with a start, discontent from a nightmare. She runs a hand through her hair, turning to her "husband" to wake him.

Later, she'll be in the war room, having dragged the phone in there; the door is cracked slightly.]

[Open call; drone filter]My name is Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong. As of next week, I

Finally. Someone who makes sense here.

I'm a career military man, possessing the rank of Major. I'm more then happy to help in any way I can, if conflict against our captors is the goal.

[wristsniper]

[Oho, she outranks this one. Yeeees.]

Well, Major, what are your strengths? I need to know what you're bringing to the effort.

[sturmbahnfurher]

I excel in troop coordination, setting up surveillance and reconnaissance, and negotiating and bargaining if need be. My primary specialty, however, is coordinating and leading sieges, especially in guerrilla warfare.

And fighting monsters is something I have a great deal of experience with.

[wristsniper]

...Have you met Prussia yet?

[weiss_tank]

So you're back up and runnin' officially?

[wristsniper]

I am. I just needed some time to get reorganized.

You'd better be in.

[weiss_tank]

Hah, of course I'm in!

[wristsniper]

[OH, YOU CAN HEAR THE EVIL SMIRK.]

Get back to recruiting.

"I was made to fight and slay monsters in the name of humanity. My name is Garviel Loken, Captain of the 10th Company of Luna wolves, 16th Legio. I have heard your name before, from several others. If you are as they say, then my sword is yours. Ah, well, metaphorically anyway. I don't have it right now, as such, but I am an Astartes, and as such, my craft is death, the weapon is immaterial."

[wristsniper]

Who have you been talking to?

[lunawolves10th]

"Some fop named Dist. I figure anyone someone of his apparent moral fiber disliked would likely be a good person to know."

[wristsniper]

Hah. He was my previously assigned "husband". Anything he said about me is probably true, and then some.

[greatestmanll40]

Believe me when I say I do not intend to be here any longer than you do. I've already been fermenting plans to escape this hellhole, but to little avail on my own. It would be most beneficial to work with you.

My name is Lex Luthor. I am the smartest man in the world I come from. And it is my firm belief that humankind shall always conquer monsters and the alien.

[wristsniper]

Agreed; working with people of various abilities is the only way we'll get anywhere. What, exactly, do you have to offer, other than just your intelligence? I can leverage that, but I want to know what I'm working with.

[greatestmanll40]

While my strongsuit is my intelligence, I have trained myself to peak human conditions along with a variety of fighting styles. In terms of millitary experience, back home I had worked several times with the American military and was even President of the nation for a term.

Also, I have had similar experiences like Mayfield. Apokolips, Salvation Run, Hell. The former two being brutal planets, the latter being the real deal. I escaped all three, and I intend to do the same here.

[wristsniper]

[She chuckles.] Watch them try to put you in charge of this outfit.

I'll welcome any contributions at this point, but you'll probably want to be informed. Where should I start?

[weaponsparked]

Should we be impressed by being here barely a year?

[wristsniper]

...Stay out of this. I don't care what you think, and you're a huge waste of my time.

[weaponsparked]

I don't have to, if I don't want to.

[wristsniper]

Yes, you do. And I will make sure you're dealt with accordingly if you do not.
