[If Nate sounds pissed off... well, he is. This battle was far too much like ones in his past, ones that still haunt his dreams sometimes, and he can't just let it go]
I think if the last few days have shown us anything, it's that we, as a group, are woefully undertrained, and that while this may have started as the Initiative's war, it's all our war now. Us, and every potential reality. What happened there could happen to any world - hell, it could be happening right now, for all we know. And I know I at least have no intention of letting them continue. We may be able to chance the past, erase all these timelines from ever forming - but time-shifting has it's own risks. Best be prepared to deal with the present, as well.
I know there are people here who aren't fighters, out of choice or out of necessity. I respect that. Do what you can to support those fighting, but when push comes to shove? Stay the hell out of the way. Hard enough to fight a battle you're outnumbered in - having to cover civilians as well means we can't fight effectively.
And if any of you think what the United Earth did was in any way right? I will personally ensure your life is a living hell.
[There's a pause, and then when he continues he sounds calmer, if more determined]
I'm taking volunteers interested in training in a small combat unit. Experience isn't necessarily, though a willingness to follow instruction is. And the roster is, obviously, my pick. Let me know if you're interested.

Nah, they gave up pointing it out years ago. [Okay, and he tries not to be too depressing around Scott, because Scott doesn't need more of that]

When it comes to stubbornness, I usually win.

I'm not sure the universe could handle that.

Keep the destruction elsewhere?

I suppose. I'd rather avoid the whole mess to begin with.
