HEY BUTTER BARS (THAT MEANS YOU TRITT)

Good job on the commission you crazy fuck. If anyone was going to lead a bunch of troops it should probably be the cleverest guy in the platoon.

That being said, I'm gonna have to start charging you for the ass savings you're gonna need if we give you a map and a compass, because as you well know, butter bars don't know shit even if they do know shit because officers are the devil oorah?

...Alright, Kenec, I think I can still live with that. :P

About time you remembered who I am. Not that I don't blame you for not remembering.

Shit was weird a year ago. So hey, you haven't been in a coma for about six months, maybe you can tell me this;

Why didn't the Reapers fall over and die when that giant space thing fired it's whatever beams? Wasn't that the whole point of the thing?

I might be an officer now but I sure as shit don't have a block of brass on my shoulders, man. Whatever happened there is good as anyone's guess. There's probably one person who knew, but she ain't around anymore

I heard Shepard died, but I that's still kind of surreal to think about. Shepard was like a big fucking hero to the quarians y'know.

Yep, saved my race and yelled at us and made us stop fighting the geth by doing so. Not so sure why she didn't yell at the geth to explode but hey that's just my war wounds complaining about that part. And the quarian part of me seriously what the hell.

So huh, no one knows why the Reapers are no longer... being murderous assholes. Much as a giant mechanical squid can be an asshole, anyway.

Also you got your ass saved by Arbit? hahahahaha

Doesn't she murder people? Hey Arbit, are you getting soft? I mean hey, I ain't judging, the less you look like you're about to shank me in my everything, the better, but how much did Gunny pay you?

hey, 'grats. got bumped from service chief on up to ops, myself.

Kenec, this happened over a year ago. Alliance needed some help against the Suns on Tarith, so they brought in a few less unfriendly contractors.

Besides, she wasn't really the one who saved us. That honor goes to Captain Carmicheal and his orbital bombardment.

Good. The Alliance needs more good officers.

The NCO who was constantly bitching about officers now has a commission. It seems the Alliance Brass has a sense of irony.

Congratulations, Lieutenant.

Knowing this board Tritt, I place 3-1 odds we're going to a member from your outfit complaining about said butter bars.

Thanks, RTB. I like to think it means the universe has a sense of humor since I know the brass sure doesn't.

And Kage, let's hope not. Seeing Gus post on the old site once spooked me enough as it was.

Words fail me (in a good way, I assure you), Tritt. How's the mustang experience now you're on the "wrong" side of the fence, as you put it?

Well, add me to the promotion club. During the war, I'm made Service Chief.

Aw, I got so used to your old rank, too. Well, no matter. It's all for the best. Glad you're still kicking, LT. We needed more officers like you.

Remember when I said it was "dark and confusing"? Yeah, it's a little like that.

It gets so much worse.

It gets so much better, too. But worse, all the same.

... Am I the only motherfucker in this galaxy that didn't get promoted?
This is VS, man. Pure varrenshit.

It's okay, Lieutenant. We can sit over here in the 'not-promoted' corner. I just got a fancy new billet. With lots of paperwork.

Well. Not a promotion, exactly. New responsibilities, though.

Was a private when I joined and am still a private unless they decide to fully discharge me, which is doubtful, my case is probably going to be in limbo for the foreseeable future.

Can't say I know you, but congratulations on the promotion, Lieutenant. I'm sure it was deserved - I've heard enough stories of heroism the past year to last a lifetime. Hope the frontier's interesting but quiet.

As far as promotions go, I finally made Corporal last month (again - you know how it is when you re-enlist). Reconstruction Corps, sure, but it's still the SAMC.
