833 A.S. - Happy New Year!

[34th Brigade]

I AM SENDING A LETTER TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE 34TH BRIGADE VIA OUR INTERNAL COMMUNICATION CHANNELS...

---

"...We're minutes away from 833 A.S. No doubt we have done a lot of work, but as always, our enemy does not slumber. And so there is more work to be done next year. Looking ahead, after all that has happened to each of us in the past, I can confidently say that you guys are the best of the best. The words written here will no longer apply to the fight against Nomads, despite our area of work. There are many things in life that we must pay attention to.

I want to tell you one thing. Burn! Enjoy your life, both in passions and endeavors! And it doesn't matter how many days are left in our lives.

What matters is how much living you during these days."

© Aspirant Jimmy Manderson, 832 A.S.

YOUR WISHES

Some of you have asked me to post your wishes, so they will be in this newsletter.

"I'll be the first on that list. I wish everyone good health and to keep a cool head. Our meeting was very cool, and I am sincerely glad that we were able to get together like this. I even saw some people for the first time in my life, even though we have been serving together for two years. And someone came from the 116th Squadron, having joined it back in 825 A.S. Damn, how time flies, right?

Yes, don't act like you're super cool agents. How have you not gone crazy from your own coolness yet? Take things easier, look for answers to questions, and think not about digging in the dirt, but about looking at the stars. Tyler, I hope you stop acting like a jerk. Andry, learn not to talk shit on the radio. Clotilda... You're just wonderful, I love you."

"Well, it's time for me to write something... What should I wish for? I hope that everything will be fine for us next year. I am sincerely glad that everything is working out for us. Look for more positive things in your life, hold on to each other and support each other, remembering that we are all one big family. And family members never abandon each other in times of trouble. We are already beyond the limits of what is permissible, and hoping that life will change dramatically is foolish, to say the least. We will have to accept the inevitable and become the best of the best."

"I wish all members of the 34th Brigade good health and the same determination and diligence with which you came here, each in your own way. I will be honest and say that you are all people who have managed to rise from the very bottom and become part of something bigger. I see in you those who have been able to realize their potential, who have been able to learn to achieve their goals and think outside the box in situations where others would have given up. You have already achieved a lot. But, as always, we cannot rest on our laurels. We must move forward. Some people want to reach for the stars.

We have reached stars.

Now it's time to jump over them and go even higher."

"Just look at all this sweet nonsense Jacob's writing me. Okay, okay, we'll see how tough you really are later, Commander.

Speaking of congratulations. I'm glad we're here today. Some of you didn't get to "today," and I'd like you to do everything you can next year to ensure our comrades' deaths aren't in vain. There are people here from all sorts of Houses. We even have Bretonians and Gauls, Royalists and Royalists, hell, and even they get along and help each other! They are even ready to die for each other!

Will you be worthy of them? I hope so. Remember that we all are brothers in mind, strength, and arms. Complement each other and stand up for each other to the death, if necessary."

"It's time for me to write something positive.

Happy New Year to the entire 34th Brigade and to those who didn't make it to Dabadoru, now stationed at other posts far from home. I'm sure you're also looking for a chance to relax. Rest assured, we understand you and your mission.

I wish all our guys success in everything they do and never give up, even in the most difficult situations. Even if there are a thousand enemies and you stand alone, remember - Single man in a field IS the warrior. We must help each other, but we must also be strong individually and able to cope with difficulties on our own. Otherwise, what's the point of our work?"

"I wish you all not to overdo it with alcohol if you get to it.

Oh, and also, fill out the reports correctly and don't forget that your confidentiality and our nerves (the bureaucrats who archive and process all of this) depend on it."

"I wish Tim Smith finds people for his 411th Wing."

"I wish Anna would get into the 411th wing."

"This is a collective letter because we are not on Dabadoru right now and are working away from Omicrons.

What would you like to wish for? We wish you all to remember and care for each other, and to cherish every moment spent together. You are all fortunate to be together today, and no one knows if this will ever happen again."

"Heeeeey, it's my turn now!

Since there's not that many girls in the Brigade, I wish for all girls in our best unit to stay same beateful as before. Net, no, do not stay the same but become better with each year! <3"

"You. Yes, you. An agent of the Order, floating on a small island of hope for all humanity in the midst of a bloody ocean of madness. You clearly want to hear advice that will help you become better, right?

My advice is this: there are other people on this island besides you. Under no circumstances should you let them go, abandon them, or allow them to fall into this ocean, no matter what. You may not know them, see them, or suspect their existence, but know that they are here.

You may be connected by a thin thread of orders that indirectly involve you in helping your comrades. You may be separated by thousands of light years, and your only means of communication may be a small relay station in the depths of cold space. Some have managed to fly to Dabadoru, while others are on patrol even now, as we rejoice in the arrival of the New Year.

Will you abandon them in case of trouble? Will you remember them in their hour of your need? Think about the fact that you must walk hand in hand with every member of the Order, whether they are agents of the Brigade or any other unit. The threads of our destinies are intertwined for a reason, and we must do everything we can to ensure that these threads remain unbreakable.

We have no one to rely on but ourselves."
