13th Insane Speech, Voice, backdated to a few hours after the end of the earthquakes

[Sound of airship engines struggling, groans of wounded men, Major himself is panting a bit]

People of the City. I am deeply pleased to announce that we have returned, and that our mission has been a triumph! Almost all objectives were completed successfully, and I can say with confidence that the threat of the HIVE has now been greatly and permanently lessened.

I must, however, regretfully inform you that this victory was not without cost. Jan Valentine and Yuugi Mutou have been killed in action. Captain Hammer and Air Commander Starscream are currently missing. I can confirm that Commander Starscream was last seen badly wounded in an air engagement, urging his comrades to continue fighting without him, completely disregarding his own well-being for the sake of the mission. His gallantry and self-sacrifice are truly an inspiration, and I salute him for his courage!

Also, David Clinton, also known as Chronos, who is responsible for our safe return and without whom this deed could not have been done, appears not to have successfully made the leap back to the City. His status is currently unknown. Several other members of the strike force have been injured, although thankfully none too seriously.

I can only hope that those taken from us will return soon, and praise them for their brave sacrifices. Rest assured they have not been in vain! My deepest thanks and those of all the City are due to those who played their part in this victory.

Now then, if you will excuse me I have a new airship which must be tended to before it falls from the sky. Auf wiedersehn, my friends.

OOC: Major will not be replying to most comments since he's busy with the airship and a rather large gut wound. All characters (Wingboys, Lobster, etc) investigating the Major are now free to start revealing whatever they've discovered about him.

oh right I was going to get to that but this works too

They have fulfilled their missions, sir. Whether they turn tail now that the fighting is over is of no concern to me whatsoever.

fff yeah since it's only one person replying i figured i'd just switch it over

Uprisings are avoidable obstacles.

Preemptive elimination is always efficient.

I just saw your spam post I hope you're better soon!

[liebe_krieg]

Hmm, very true, yes. Have you anyone in particular in mind who might benefit from a bit of efficiency, sir?

akjhfaf THANK YOUUU

[clockworkaria.livejournal.com]

I'm working on a list.

My main course of action though, which you seem to be quite familiar with yourself, as do your pupils, will require a bit of time.

Are your Warrant Officer and the woman known as Angelica reliable?

[liebe_krieg]

Warrant Officer Schrodinger is a hundred percent trustworthy. He was quite literally born for the cause of the Reich and for the sake of his duty. His honour truly is loyalty.

Doctor Einstellsehn is a truly brilliant woman with many positive and useful traits. However, I believe she can only be relied upon to be loyal to herself and the cause of her research.

[clockworkaria.livejournal.com]

So given the proper incentives, she could be loyal.

Have you any other recommendations?

[liebe_krieg]

The Doctor's assistant, Giovanni, is a very capable killer. The Decepticons are useful, and Commander Starscream's emotions make him easily manipulated. Cameron Hodge is currently gone, and I have severed all ties with him, but should he return he could have value. It depends on what you wish to accomplish with them, sir.

"Decepticons?"

This is an organization? I recognize the Commander's name, as he was one of the deceased in the attack.

I'm looking for those who would be dedicated in a single cause: to vacate the flaws on this planet. I don't believe anyone here would be capable of doing it alone and thus, we will need to call upon exterior forces. A great summoning of sorts.

[liebe_krieg]

Ah, I see. The Decepticons are indeed an organization; an ancient faction of thinking war machines from another planet who have found themselves turned into human beings by the Porter. I do not believe they would share your vision of perfection, however. The Doctor might, though- she has a very progressive mindset towards humanity, and has already made great strides in her pursuit of upgrades.
