Notes of Jimmy the JarheadBloody mistake coming here, and no two ways about it. Our Supreme Overlord, the Big Boss, or as I like to call him, the number one SOB has landed us in a real pickle.
For years now we've tunneled, built and crafted, expanding the fort and attracting immigrants. Bloody lot of good that's come of it. Can't open a damned window without some undead abomination flying in. We've raised the drawbridge and it's looking like it'll stay that way.
I've had it out with him again and again but it's no good. He relies on his mechanics to protect us with cage traps around the entrances and goes on living it up inside his private palace, only sticking his nose out to pass on some production mandate.
He assigned me the task of organizing the military. Told me he'd rounded up a crack team of recruits. I took a look at them and nearly choked on my ale. Bunch of scrawny pencil-necked scraggly-bearded pox-riddled ass-scratching nose-picking filth. Then he informs me, oh by the way, there's no armor, no weapons, and no barracks as well. Cheerio, good luck defending the fort!
I felt like bashing his ugly face in.
We're all going to die horrible deaths soon if I don't get this military up to working order soon. I've got twenty hands all told, counting myself as well. That's near a third the population of our thrice cursed hell-hole.
In that case, I'm declaring martial law.
Fortress expansion is to cease until further notice. All nonessential jobs are cancelled. Our one and only goal is to create a military capable of defending the fort against any and all attacks, either from without or from within.
We have a fine surplus of food and drink thank god. The SOB didn't screw that much up, at least. I'm not concerning myself with that kind of malarkey. If they complain we're not creating enough food or drink, I'll tell 'em to call someone who cares. My job's military, and military I'll be making.
Our leader installed two swimming pools for our soft-bellied brethren to enjoy. I've ordered the deconstruction of one. In it's place I've created a pool of my own design. I rather like the change, personally.
