Who: Wrath
Broadcast: Video broadcast to the fleet
Action: On the Iskaulit, near Wrath's mural, or later on the Windrose
When: May 30
[Wrath's just finished another part of her mural; it's visible behind her, the rolling fields and the starscape blending together somehow. For those her know her, she seems a bit more sober than normal, more thoughtful, pink hair and all. But this is something she's been thinking about for a while, as she's begun to unwind and consider things in a nominally safer environment.]
Hi everyone. This is lieutenant Wrath, of the Windrose. And...
I think there are a lot of people around like me. Soldiers and former soldiers, I mean. Active duty or discharged with honors or turfed out on medical, it doesn't matter. We were all soldiers and... we still are, maybe, because it's not something that just goes away with the uniform.
I think it would be good for us to talk some time. Just casual stuff. Maybe meet up on the Iskaulit for beer or coffee or hot chocolate for people who can't have alcohol or caffeine. [Like her.] Because... there are things about our lives that no one but us, but people like us, can really understand. And it's important to have someone who understands you, and what it's like to be in the shit, and what it's like to have your squad at your back.
Also, I just finished this phase of my mural, and I think next I want to do something that's for... us. Because we have people we should remember, and things we shouldn't forget. So I'm going to start working on the concept sketches for the next big panel, and I'd like to hear feedback and ideas from my fellow soldiers.
And everyone else, this doesn't mean that you're less special, or the rest of the mural is any less for you, or you're not allowed. I still care about all of you, too.
[But. It's not the same. She's not really sure how to put it, though, so she gives the camera a firm nod, and ends the video.]

I was a lieutenant in the mobile infantry division of my city's army. What was your assignment before this?

I commanded an army of knights which currently fight against various threats from nearby monsters. What was your typical assignment?

Knights, wow. So basically... heavy cavalry, I guess.
Mobile infantry was the vanguard for the Proles Army. Before the bioweapon plague, we were charged with removing heavy armored divisions and gun emplacements. After, we held the Line like all the other divisions, but provided quick strike support during major battles.
