Miyamoto opens a comm channel to all ARM personnel, and begins his speech.
Well then men, here we are.
We’ve had a whole year to prepare, to train and study and practice for this battle. Let us hope that at least some of you didn’t just spend the year jacking off or counting your toes.
For too long has the UWM been allowed to fester and grow like a cancer. Today we take a stand, today we will show them that their rule is over. Every single one of you is victim of their oppressive regime, simply by virtue of having been thrown into the 'corps. Some of you have even been sentenced to this existance while having done nothing wrong. But here, on Hephaestus, we will stand against them. For those who have fallen, and for all that we've lost. Make no mistake, we will win. We are the ARM, we are the remnants of the HMRC, we have leveled cities and ventured into the depths of the hellish nightmares they were too afraid to go. There is nothing they can throw that you cannot destroy, one way or another. Of that I am certain.
Now, before they start raining down upon us, I’m gonna lay down a few rules for this battle. These aren’t optional, by the way.
-Whatever happens, you only communicate within your team. Your team leader will then tell me or Steve what is going on, and we will respond to that. This is because I honestly don’t need 20 different people shouting for help at once, wars are confusing enough as they are already, so keep the comm channels clear.
-Team leaders: you will have quite some freedom in how exactly you handle a situation, so don’t expect me to babysit any of you all the time. But if you’re really in a pickle you can always ask Steve or me for advice. That said, I do expect you to follow your orders, so if you can’t hold the line, don’t just turn tail and run but inform Steve or me, then do an orderly retreat.
-When needed, the team leaders will give orders to their various sods or robots. Other team members are allowed to order them around, but team leader’s orders take precedence, to avoid confusion.
-If a team leader gets incapacitated for whatever reason, a team should quickly decide amongst itself who will take over and inform me, so we can maintain chain of command.
-In the event that there is any, loot shall be divided as follows (note that these are Steve’s rules, don’t come complaining to me): what you kill is yours, everything else goes into the team fund. Everything else. Yes, this includes stuff you find on the UWM ships. Oh, and about those: remember we are to capture those ships, not scuttle them, so contain your looting urges. If I find out people have been playing magpie instead of doing their job, they will find themselves without payment for this mission.
-Sod equipment is to be returned to Steve at mission end. Yes, even when the sod in question is dead. This to prevent people using their troops as meat shields so they could claim their weapons.
-((Also, please always add to what team you belong at the top of your post. Just a little something to help out PW with keeping track of things. Just your name and team will do, but if you want you could add a little extra info, like where your character currently is or what he’s doing. Also, people who are team leaders should mention this, in case of conflicting orders for sods or something.
For example:
‘Miyamoto, team C leader, northwest bunker, shooting enemy sods’))
((Pancaek speaking: Well, Radio asked me to put in a bit of a heroic part into his speech, but I'm really bad at these sorts of things. The first two sentences and the bullet pointed stuff is what he gave me before he left for the weekend. If anything pressing comes up that needs his input I'll try and contact him, but no promises on quick replies or anything))
