[ After much hesitation on his part to address the situation towards those who hold some sort of power here, Aragorn finally decides to step forward and do just that. He honestly believes himself ill fit for such a public role, but he shan't step back and watch from the sidelines anymore.

This may come as a shock for his companions who hail from Middle-earth. Aragorn was hardly the type to step forward and lead, but usually the one forced to lead when no others would. ]

I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and like many of you I've been drafted by the Initiative. Like you and countless others, we've been taken from our realms in order to fight a war not our own.

[ He finally stated once he realized that the tablet was recording. Aragorn possessed very little love for this means of communication, but for now he'll stomach it. Over time he'll realize just how useful these complex devices truly are but until then, he'll simply think of it as a nuisance. ]

We fight for a nameless cause, yet we're given very little initiative to fight on their behalf. While the rebels had been more than...adequate hosts; it would seem that many of us haven't fully explored this world or understand the reason of our plight. Our realms are in jeopardy by a force greater than our own, yet we know very little about our objective.

Therefore, I seek to know more about the efforts taken to achieve the Initiative's goal, and hopefully form a way for us to further our quest.

[ He paused briefly. ]

Is there anyone here willing to speak openly?

Well, we've gone on missions so far, and things have really changed! The Hold wasn't as nice as it is now. We went on a mission, came back, and bam, suddenly there was more stuff!

/ack sorry! late tag

[ Really now? This was something he hadn't heard of until now. ]

Is that so? Then this tactic of theirs actually proves fruitful?

As well as any! I am not big on war or anything like that, but you win some and you lose some, right? Mostly I think we've been winning, though, so yes! It seems like they put a lot of work into strateger... strate... making up strategies!

[thelastking]

Considering that the United Earth dwarfs the Initiative by its sheer size alone, they must use whatever strategies they can to defeat them. Although, I strain to see what good it is to draft others from realms far away to fight their battles.

They don't really have a choice, I don't think. I mean, I have never gotten the idea that they wanted unwilling fighters here either. That's basically what they'll tell you and I believe them. It doesn't make sense otherwise!
