Commanders Log of The True Believers
-Commander Skyscream-
=The True Believers=
Day 89 / Year 3 PT
It's hard to believe it's been more than two years already. As I think about the past I wonder how it is we ended up where we are. Against all odds we went from a broken fleet torn apart from inner strife to a well respected and strong faction. The name may be different but the soul of our cause is still there. Born out of conflict and uncertainty. All we had was Morpheus. He believed.
It pains me to think about how many have been lost in those two years. The faces I see today are not the hopeful veterans who I shed blood with alongside Morpheus in the age of legends. They are not the men and women who fought against the Cypherites when that scurge first appeared. The True Believers are mostly strangers to me these days. Except for a few.
Fresh young redpills with pod goo still behind the ears. They need training. I only wish I had more time. I fear for their safety. Our enemies are many. These days I spend more time fielding communications from other fleets and organizations than anything else it seems. It makes me weary.
I'm a soldier. Not a diplomat.
Hell... I used to be a feared pirate for crying out loud. Now I get respect and offers of alliances. I doubt many remember the days of my exile from Zion. Alliances. I've had more offers. But I don't trust any of them the way I trust The Pride. Maybe a few. But they are a rare breed. I've seen too many fleets come and go since I fell out of the world for me to form an alliance at the drop of a hat.
I've come to trust my new Captains almost as much as the old Captains. They are good people. Their individual strengths and weaknesses compliment each other. We fight well as a group now. They make me proud. When the new recruits are fully trained we will be a force to be reckoned with. As it is when the True Believers enter the field of battle the enemy knows they have a real fight on thier hands.
Seph has returned. This makes me happy. We've fought side by side since the beginning. I know the others are retired, lost to other causes, ... or dead ... but I keep hoping they will return. I hope Hal finds what he is looking for on his 'vision' quest. We could use his strength and wisdom.
I need to make a point of getting to know the new fleet members better. I've been feeling a little isolated lately.
I think I need to become a soldier again. Lead the battle instead of managing it from behind a desk...
