[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.

Going to guess that means you're an earth-manipulator? Though usually metal is a different powerset...

Every place with powers like that seems to have it's own words for it. I know a few people who can manipulate metal, though mostly through manipulation of electro-magnetic fields - the actual metal is more of a side-effect.

[but who cares about the details!] Well?

Still too young.

NO I'M NOT!

[Yes you are]
How about this - I'll train you in small unit work, at least.

No, that would be battle tactics. Making the best use of your powers in a group without accidentally hurting someone else.

And you can guarantee that, in a group of people with no training and no guidance? [Does he sound skeptical? Yes he does]
