Alex the Great Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 We can't have more loyal bluecoats dieing. We must vote to rid us of these deserters, they are tearing this army apart!
WhiteFang Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 This is indeed a grim situation. We must rid of those deserters whom minds is coward and scared, that is heavily influencing the fear of death among our brave solders. We must never fear for what is bringing towards our fate. Let's rid our pest problem. If we have internal problems from within, we will not be able to combat effectively against our enemies. Our morale must never be deemed by those deserters.
def Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 It's unthinkable that someone would betray not only their fellows, but their country as well. Disgraceful. I may be young, but I've seen a lot in my years. And this is beyond my experience. Someone has crossed the Rubicon, but who?
MetroiD Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 We may be Provost Guard, but we should not elevate ourselves above these fine soldiers. Indeed Ian, but this job is precisely what we were brought here to do. I firmly believe that the lads' morale should be placed above all else and we shouldn't allow the deserters to become the main topic of discussion. We're at war here and I would prefer to see us fighting our enemies, rather than fighting between ourselves. Now, this poor young man... His throat was slit, as captain Lecoq says. It may be a long shot, but I think a search through the soldiers' backpacks could give us some insight as to whether the killer is among us and who it might have been. * Throws down his backpack There, you can go ahead and search mine, Ian. I got bored of cleaning my bayonette a couple of days ago anyway.
Scouty Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 We're at war here and I would prefer to see us fighting our enemies, rather than fighting between ourselves. "I wish we could, but we've been at a stalemate ever since the Battle of Willow's Creek. That was just a few months ago. Plus, with the coming winter, I doubt either of us will have any strength to dredge on with war in the harsh winter. At least we've got the deserters confined!" -Captain Lecoq
Shadows Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 This is an outrageousness! We are fighting for the good of the peoples and some of our very own are against us? We must find these traitors and stretch their necks until the snappings! How do we do this? I know we must make close attentions to the behaviours and words of each other, but then what? We musn't make the mistakes when it comes to the lives of the honourable, so caution is the watchword for our efforts, but we must do what needs to be done or the disease of the deserters could spread amongst us and destroy these fine bodies.
Piranha Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Good day gentlemen, I am very distressed over the murdering of a loyal soldier. I will continue to investigate this personally. Carry on.
RileyC Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Its very grim that he was murdered. Its terrible that maybe someone could have murdered him and we have to figure out who did it!
Rick Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 When did this brutal murder happen? Pvt. Ould, was this poor private's body still warm? If so, it could have happened while we all were having breakfast. Did anyone notice anything out of the ordinary? I must admit I was enjoying Pvt. Shadón's sausages too much to be paying close attention to what everyone was up to. I will surely pay better attention the rest of the day and the days to come. This goes to show that those deserters are not afraid to kill to their own. A grim outlook indeed.
AwesomeStar Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Oh goodness! How horrible. Shadon, move those sausages, I think I'm going to be... Oh, oh.. too late. Sorry everyone, but the mere thought of one of our soldiers killing another put me right off my breakfast. Eugh. Tart or no tart, we must get to the bottom of this ASAP. For I fear that soon, one of US may be killed. But do not fear men, for I have faith in our leader. As should you, too. Tart... anyone?
Dragonator Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Deserters, in our regiment? Oh the shame! how grim! We must deal to them as quickly and efficiently as possible, we won't win the war later on if the regiment is torn apart from the inside out. I find it disgusting that some people have so little loyalty to their country, to their families, that they would desert the noble cause of the war. This murder is very disturbing, I wonder who is responsible? It is a scary thought that someone within our own ranks would turn on a fellow soldier in such a brutally violent fashion.
Sandy Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Alas, the treachery amidst us has cost a life of a honoured soldier, and I will have none of that! We must dig out the vermin amongst us and exterminate them. You can count on me to keep my eyes and ears wide open around the camp.
MetroiD Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 ...with the coming winter, I doubt either of us will have any strength to dredge on with war in the harsh winter. At least we've got the deserters confined!" -Captain Lecoq Yes, with no battles coming our way, perhaps you are indeed right Captain - and this is really the best moment to take a long hard look at ourselves and save what's left of this Regiment's pride! A lot of good questions were raised here. Pvt. Oult, do you have someone who could corroborate your story, so that we know where to start?
Big Cam Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 This murder is horrible, I wonder how long he's been lying in the river there?
Bob Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 This murder is horrible, I wonder how long he's been lying in the river there? Honestly, I'd say maybe a few hours. I doubt he could be down there long enough that the guards wouldn't notice him. Besides, we just got here a few hours ago.
Scouty Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 One of the guards approached Captain Lecoq. "Captain Lecoq, Private Tulón of the 53rd Guards. Permission to approach?" "You may." -Captain Lecoq "Private Camon is correct, we believe the body floated down in the past few hours. We saw no such body down when we took our posts. We made a proper burial for him." "Thank you, Private." -Captain Lecoq "Ah, yes! I have orders from the Provost General. He wanted me to relay to you that you may begin the voting process. The necessary probation has past. That is all!" -Private Tulón walks back to his post. The soldiers of the 42nd return to their work.
Quarryman Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 So we may vote now. Except.. we have no clue who to vote for. I certainly won't be voting unless someone has a very good reason to do so.
Alice Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Deserters? Wow. I'm already extremely depressed. My wife is back home and I miss her so much. Some days are worse than others. Someone, hold me.
General Armendariz Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Bonjour! so sorry to miss breakfast I must've slept late. Shame hes been killed, but someone has to be executed? How horrible I dont know who to believe and who not to.
Alex the Great Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 My wife is back home and I miss her so much. Enough that you would desert the regiment, betray your own country. If we have to get rid of our own men, it better be the right one.
Captain Genaro Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Very sorry about the late return, I had a therapy session with the doctor after my ordeal. * takes a tart out of one pocket and eats it. * Pvt. Oult, do you have someone who could corroborate your story, so that we know where to start? I don't think so, after seeing the dead body, I ran to get help hoping that the doctor could help him. I thought that if we could save him, he could tell us who killed him. *finishes eating tart * hold on, I'm going to be sick again.
Big Cam Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Bonjour! so sorry to miss breakfast I must've slept late. Shame hes been killed, but someone has to be executed? How horrible I dont know who to believe and who not to. Curious that you were gone while we discovered a body. I hope you slept well.
Piranha Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I like those gold epaulets, that is one high class outfit they have there. I only have red ones. Oddly enough I am a captain and I have plain regular red ones. It is not epaulets that will make a good solider Now, this poor young man... His throat was slit, as captain Lecoq says. It may be a long shot, but I think a search through the soldiers' backpacks could give us some insight as to whether the killer is among us and who it might have been.* Throws down his backpack There, you can go ahead and search mine, Ian. I got bored of cleaning my bayonette a couple of days ago anyway. Yes this is a good idea, the cut of a sword would be much different from that of a knife. Unfortunately everyone's rifle is equipped with a bayonette so more than likely the murderer used a bayontte I request that all soldiers prepare for inspection, any suspicious activity will not be taken lightly!
Shadows Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Deserters? Wow. I'm already extremely depressed. My wife is back home and I miss her so much. Some days are worse than others. Someone, hold me. Hmm... Depressed soldiers who miss their wives might be tempted to make the running and leave us. We can't have that, so yes, I will hold you through the night until all is better and help raise your, er, morale.
def Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Yes this is a good idea, the cut of a sword would be much different from that of a knife.

But did everybody carry their bayonet to breakfast? Was anybody watching our bags as we ate?
