After the childlike abomination is tucked into a hospital bed, STEPHEN HAWKING takes a nice jog to the briefing room. Where he does stretches.

((STEPHEN HAWKING invented crossposting.))

((Also cross-pollination, cross country racing, crossword puzzles, and simply being cross.))

Wake up, guard booze with life. Head to the debriefing. Craft the Molotovs at the debriefing.

Alternatively:

Dream of actually being useful.

(Yet another cross-post.))

[Grunhill]

((@PW: Ok, It's good. Don't wanna take chances.))

Wait for mission debrief.

Go to the Debriefing

>Alright Various soldiers, miscreants and new people I just thawed out for some reason, lets get this done.

>So, despite "setbacks" which left the shipyard and control room as craters, we've taken this place. And against unexpected resistance with limited casualties no less. I have control of ARES, control of the heart of this planet, and as soon as we can convince the workers to come out of hiding in the depths of this complex, we will have a production system able to put us on par with the UWM's armies, at least technologically.

We have maybe a year before the armies of the UWM return from that fools errand I sent them on and attempt to retake this place. This world is a fortress already, but we must further reenforce it for the day when they return. We must hold this place and then, once we have repulsed their attack, we will begin our counter attack, turning worlds to our cause, just as your brothers and sisters across the galaxy in my other ships will. It will take time, and the lives of many good men and women, but we will throw off the reign of the UMV and forge a new path for mankind.

Before I continue, there is one thing we must do, as a group. HMRC has long been our name, but it is a name given to you by the corrupt and apathetic who have banished you here, thinking it a death sentence. A new name is needed for our rebellion. One which we may spread through the known galaxy as a herald of great things to come.

What should our new name be?

[kisame12794]

"Hrmmm. A name...... how about The Reclaimers? I dunno, never been good with names."

[Sean Mirrsen]

"Well, we were the Hazardous Materials Retrieval Corps. It's an apt name, or at least it was before we changed our occupation. Our new name would have to be similarly apt.

I'd propose Oppressive Government Removal Enterprise, but it really depends on whether anyone else will mind being called OGREs."

[Radio Controlled]

"A name huh? Why, this is quite important indeed.

I think we first gotta ask ourselves, what message do we want this new name to convey? What do we want this rebellion to stand for?
What do we stand for?
When people hear our name, what do we want them to associate us with? Power, compassion, chance at a new beginning, strength, hope?
And should this name be only for the organisation, the rebellion, or also of the government that we'll be creating?

A tough question indeed..."

[Parisbre56]

((Are we doing a new name for the HMRC or a new name for our UWM-like government?

Or both? EDIT:So that we get named something like Army of the <name of the UWM-like government>?))

[Harry Baldman]

"I may be in the minority here, but why can't we just be the HMRC now and forever?" asks Stacy, tapping away in place. "It's very recognizable. An acronym marinaded in horror and allowed to mature over countless years like a fine bit of cheese. I heard those four letters way back when I was but a child, and that was Steve only knows how long ago, and now that I am a part of it, I feel like I'm a part of something ancient, enduring and wonderful! That might just be me, though."

"Although OGRE works as well. Rolls off the tongue nicely, and it doesn't even have a 'the' in it! Also, ogres are woefully unused as mythological figures these days. Can't help but wonder why."

[Toaster]

((Toaster might have a suggestion that keeps the HMRC name, but he'll have to think about it.))


Ah!  A quest!  Surely something that sings glories to those who deserve it.

"The Blessed Knights of Steve, surely we must be!"
