exsilium | II. A Moment's Notice [video]

[ When this video starts, it should be noted that this was perhaps one of the rare time that anyone ever seen the King of Wei outside of his armor. During the first several weeks Cao Cao spent here in Exsilium, the warlord refused to leave his armor aside. He was always dressed for war and the Wrath of Heaven would never be too far from his side.

However, today was different. While he refused to part with his blade, the King of Wei didn't look any less regal without his armor. Though, it's clear judging from the feed that he's been raiding the library for their books.

Someone definitely been a tad preoccupied as of late. ]

No word still from our adversaries? Hm. It's only a matter of time until our brief respite is disrupted. While the Initiative gives us much in the means of food and perhaps armament; I truly believe we're still ill-prepared.

[ A thoughtful pause lingered in-between his words as he pondered of a decent way to summarize his thoughts. It's unlike him to prattle endlessly about anything but as of lately, Cao Cao's been plagued with worry. ]

When will their next strike come? This is a question that none of us can answer but what can we do to prepare?

All we do know about the United Earth is that they can still overpower us, despite our advances. We...lost one world because we were overwhelmed by their numbers.

[She sighs.]

It doesn't help that the Initiative just seems to pull in whoever they can. So there are people who help train anyone who hasn't had combat experience before. Some of us are doing research to help better our living conditions as well. Even though we have to big mandatory missions, some go on smaller scale ones either alone or in a group

[ The King of Wei listened intently as the girl spoke. He heard once before that the Initiative's prior battle against the Federation lead to a rather catastrophic end for one of the many worlds in jeopardy. He wasn't too certain how this was possible but apparently the United Earth possessed the power necessary to annihilate an entire planet. ]

Smaller scaled missions? [ That certainly piqued Cao Cao's interests. ] It's quite difficult within itself to coordinate a large scale attack with such a varying level of skill amongst our ranks. I honestly would prefer it if smaller scaled missions became more of the norm but the Initiative seem to have other plans.

Well, not all the missions are combat-orientated. The main goal is to travel back in time to change events that would somehow later lead to the United Earth's strength. And while not everyone can fight just yet, some of us have other skills that can be put to use with these missions. I believe you can request them and they possibly might be able to match you and any teammates based on your skills.
