INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Commandante Ethan Scott
TARGET: SCRA Fighter Corps
SUBJECT: Re-organization of Fighter Corps

I'll keep this brief and to the point. I know too many syllables can be overwhelming to some of you. Why you weren't suffocated by your mothers and thrown into compost heaps when you were infants is a mystery to me, but sending you to a suicide mission could do the trick. It's time to get you whipped into shape so we don't take another beating like we did earlier.

As of this moment, Red Squad and Gold Squad are abolished. There will be no segregation within Fighter Corps. You will all fight as one, as equals. There will be no elite as elitism is counter-revolutionary. Once the paperwork is finished by the pencil pushers at Fleet, you will be given your wing assignment, and your superior officer.

Your superior officer will be responsible for your performance, and your performance will in turn be responsible to your superior officer. So I suggest to the both of you to get yourselves into shape, or you'll be washed out and sent to work on a manufacturing line so you can be of actual use to the Coalition.

Each of you will be assigned a personal fighter, and a personal fighter you will keep and be responsible for. This fighter will be your home. You wouldn't let the roof of your home leak on your head, would you? Then again, with the intelligence of some of you I wouldn't be surprised.

As for the Odin, you will earn one. When I say so. If you already have one, don't forget it can be taken away.

Now, a little technical detail, among more to come.

Lt. Colonels will now act as wing commanders. They are expected to lead and organize patrols and punitive raids against our enemies. They will also be directly responsible for their subordinate's performance. Their subordinates will listen to their superiors. If there is a mixed wing movement, you will listen to the ranking officer. Should there be more than one, I'm sure you can show more intelligence than Neanderthals and actually designate one between the three of you. Last I checked you weren't a bunch of kindergarten snot eaters. I will not tolerate a two-headed monster during a battle.

That said, believe it or not, some of you are actually getting promoted to this prestigious rank. Well, not exactly. Sasha Orlov and Daemon Steele, you are now probationary Lt Colonels. Do not fail in your position or I will find someone better. You might end up washing latrines with your toothbrush after the Trolls are finished with them.

Orlov and Steeles, this means you have responsibilities, so I suggest you man up and own up to them.

That is all for now. You will stand by for assignments.
