That's a terrible assumption, and anything of that sort that may have been said by IA officials is merely an attempt to get their enemies to underestimate the soldiers. Also, I have no idea to which dictatorship you refer. Sven: Hm... -And thank you, Sven. I gravely misunderstood the threat the military actually was. But since you stepped up and stopped it, the one entity that I guarantee would have caused my plans to become a failure are gone. Sven: ... You're welcome. -*A few moments after I speak, a slight smile of gratefulness forms on my face* -And I might commend you for doing so while causing the least amount of casualties possible, given what you had to work with. Anything else would have had more innocents become a part of the collareral damage. But now, I'm asking you to take a back seat. From this point on, we're a team. All of us. Some of us don't just follow Zach's plan, while others follow mine, and others still follow Zach's. We're a team. If we stay split like this, the war for Waternaux will be lost.
