>It's difficult to control so many young men out of uniform and command was starting to think this was a mistake. While most of you participated in fun activities such as game stalls and eating street food, as well as attending local music and dance, some of the more heinous young men decided no uniform meant no discipline and got a bit too liberal with their drinking. Some of the more disciplined of you decided to take it upon yourself to retrain the hooligans, lucky that they were too inebriated to put up a fight.

>Summer passed with more labor and training, and more rumors of a deployment to the Southern Principality. That rumor was confirmed during a Legion-wide formation with General Reigen Mugen.

SovMar has authorized the deployment of one Legion across the sea as deterrence. Lucky us, we are scheduled for deployment during the winter, much cooler. For pre-deployment, you are all authorized two weeks of leave. Submit your requests early. Dismissed."
