<::|| First day on the job. Clothes are stuffy. They seem sturdy though. Heavy. I assume that feeling will pass once I have actual nutrition. Writing this from a combine terminal. Basically the alien equivalent of a personal computer. Only I have a feeling this thing could crunch about 100 times the data one of ours could. Can't take a look at it though. Not allowed.
It seems that I will have to be waiting until I am an '03', to be transferred to their engineering department, VICE. It's okay enough, I suppose. I've spent years waiting for this, so a few weeks or so won't hurt me any. They've outfitted me with what they nickname a "Stunstick". I imagine it's uses are exactly the way they sound. Doesn't look human in origin. It's powerful enough to resonate light through the air with how much electricity is running through it. How they've managed to make a battery powerful enough, but compact enough to power this thing without an external source is mindboggling. I'll have to dissassemble mine once I'm VICE and I have clearance to find out. The mysteries the combine have in store are as many as they are wonderful it seems.
Fun fact, did you know a 9x19mm parabellum round travels at about 1100 feet per second? Standard issue rounds seem to be semi-jacketed, effective against soft targets, probably couldn't punch through higher grade bodyarmors though. That's okay. I don't have a sidearm issued yet. Glad they gave me a box of rounds though. Gives me something to do to pass the time. Wonder if making pyramids with issued rounds is a violation of some protocol or another? Probably is. Can't wait to look at some of their Combine weaponry though. Betting that they're at least 3 times as efficient as their human equivalencies. Who knows, maybe I can find ways of improving them?
Actually, that was a stupid thought. Most advanced alien race ever known in history, and I'm going to show them a thing or two? Yep, sounds plausible. Unit 999, signing off.||::>

<::|| Still no training yet. This stunstick is incredible though. The light it gives off reminds me of a magnesium filing being burned, or similar to the light given off when welding, all though at a much safer level. I wonder if when it's ignited it smells like a heater that uses metal coils to operate... Maybe I'll find out during next break.
Almost ended up doing my first Ration Distribution though. Was under the escort of an 01, so I guess there's exceptions to the "Don't go outside unless you have SOP training and a patrol partner" rule. I don't think the other recruits like me though. 622 was giving me a strange look when the 01 stepped out of the room. All I was doing was testing my stunstick to make sure it worked for the next cycle. Not like I was going to 'hit' anything with it or anything...
Suppose that's all for this morning. Unit 999, signing off.||::>

<::|| Today was a bad day. I don't feel like crying to my journal that's probably being read and monitored daily by people who are so much higher up on the foodchain that I don't even know they exist. The CCA isn't some happy-fairy tale land where you get better food than everyone else, where you learn new things and have the freedom to engineer and be creative. Whatever I thought I was going to be doing before I came into service was wrong. And now I'll have the scars for the rest of my life to remind me of that.
Was it 342, or 347? The digits in this place are so hard to remember. I think it was 342.||::>

<::||I've had awhile to reflect on the past few days of my CCA career. I've had all my trainings, passed them with flying colors, aided in several situations, gotten some on-the-job experience... And then it happened. I might have made a mistake - sure... But what he did to me... He wasn't even ordered to. He took pleasure in it... It was beyond cruel. It was evil. I've taken the time to think to myself - Would I have done the same were I in his position? Could it have been necessary in his eyes? Have any other units suffered something like this at the hands of their own comrades for trying to help?
All the questions point to a single answer: No.
These scars won't be a mark of shame for me. I won't let them. I'll let them be reminders that I will NEVER be like that hideously evil creature that did this to me. I'm a thinking, feeling human being. Not some sort of sick, twisted thing that takes pleasure in making one of it's own suffer. Leadership is not attained through cruelty, fear, or coercion. It's attained by honorable bravery, intelligence, and charisma. With this smile of mine, I'm sure I have at least the latter.
I'm making this a promise to myself now: Whatever happens to me as I go up that rank ladder - I'll be the best unit I can be. In my eyes. Not whoever created the thing that created the new me.
At least no one will ever ask me to cheer up, or smile anymore. But I don't want their pity. I want their respect. And I will have it.||::>

<::|| So... Early this morning I spoke with an 01 VICE Unit while he was off duty... He's a real nice guy, definantly different than those of his same rank... We talked about all sorts of stuff, like the thumpers in the plaza - They're actually called 'restrictors', and they're used to scare off exogen life forms called 'Antilions', who are basically big ass bugs that are mean, and can fly. Eventually... When we got around to a lunch break, I told him what happened the other day... And he actually seemed horrified. I didn't think that an 01 would really care that much, but he told me right then and there to see a member of High Command about it as soon as possible.. And, so I did... I spoke with an officer of VICE, and right when I showed her what that bastard did to me, she requested a meeting over the radio with another HC unit, said it was high priority emergency... I was wrong.
I have never been so... Thankful, about being wrong in my entire life. 345 IS a sadistic bastard who should be given OWR, but it's ONLY him. The rest of the CCA aren't cold, cruel people. The two recruits that helped him were just scared, they thought they were following orders.. And now, 345 hopefully won't be able to do this to anyone ever again.
...But I still have the scars as my lesson, don't I? God I wish I could have my old face back... But that's not possible. I'm still the same person. A better person, actually. I feel stronger because of this experience, I feel like I want to lead, to inspire people like the 01, 050 did for me.
After our talk, I helped him around the Nexus with a few chores that VICE Units do. We were replacing the doors in the breaching training room, but he had to go out on some urgent call. He said he wanted to me help him when he got back. VICE is a whole lot nicer than any of the other divisions, it seems. And, I'll actually be able to do what I want in life again.
050. How I will repay him, I'll never know.
Oh - Personal note: I need to ask a higher ranked unit if I can still buy foods from the CWU occasionally. I'm NOT living off of these supplements for the rest of my life. I'm thinking some chinese food for today's lunch break.||::>

<::|| Couple things: First of all; What the hell, chinese food is contraband. My life is over, going to go kill myself now.
Kidding, although I AM pretty unhappy I'll never have Tsao's chicken with rice again or all the other delicious foods that come from oriental land. Today's a good day. I was promoted to 05. I have a standard issue USP Match chambered in 9mm - Which I'm actually a pretty decent shot with, I should say. I can patrol alone, and the other recruits are pretty jealous I got promoted before them.
Pretty good day.||::>

<::|| Well... I've made a pretty big decision, but more about that later. I got training with the MP7A1 yesterday, and I kicked tons of ass, with it as well. If I'd been shooting at a rebel at least, he'd of been one dead bastard. Also, I guess I'm a bad student because when we moved to the longer range, I was supposed to miss the target more. I didn't, hahaha! He had to make a seperate target all the way at the back wall of the range just to try and convince me that the weapon's bullet spread at longer ranges would be a problem for me. First magazine: I hit the target three times, but that was because he made me use 4 round bursts and that range. Who does that? Afterwards before I deposited the weapon I flipped it on SEMI and bumped the trigger to get a decent fire rate but maintain accuracy and that target looked like swiss-fucking-cheese. I never felt better or more proud in my life!
Still, I think I'm better with my sidearm, considering I can put 5 rounds through a 2 inch hole in a target's forehead at that range. Practice has definantly made perfect for me... Which sort of leads to my big decision. I've decided not to join VICE when I reach 03, but to stay in JURY... It's a huge career change for me.. And it's sort of scary, but I'm beginning to realize that my talents lie elsewhere of where I've studied my entire life. Sure, I have a brilliant mind, but that mind might be even better put to use for strategy, and leadership in combat and unsociostable situations. Not to mention I'm getting better and better at my job with each day that passes, I mean, I haven't gotten anyone to spar with me yet but I've practiced hand to hand every morning before practicing marksman ship with my pistol, and I see better and better results every time I inspect my target.
JURY is the right choice for me. This I know now, and I've got to work extra hard on improving my skills to make everyone else knows it.||::>

<::|| I shot man today, and sentenced another to death... Never before have I asked myself: How does it feel to kill a man? But now I know. I know the feeling when they're sobbing, helpless at your mercy. I was too weak to even let him finish his last words.. I couldn't listen to him cry anymore...
Maybe I could've gotten over shooting the 10-107 - he'd been assaulting a unit and almost broke his arm.. As soon as they broke away I put a round through his abdomen... I don't know what happened to him after they took him into detainment... I'm only guessing he bled to death.. Died at my hands, a slow and painful death...
The second one was supposedly a 10-103M... He didn't beg for his life when he was strapped into the chair He was scared, helpless even.. He begged us to tell his brother that he was a failure... I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. 124 says it's part of the job - and that I have to get used to it... But how does one get used to... That?||::>

<::|| I got some good advice from 050, he's actually an officer of VICE now... He explained things to me that on both accounts, I did the right thing... It wasn't my fault, that I had to shoot that 647E, he'd almost broken another unit's arm, someone needed to nuetralize him and I did the right thing by pulling the trigger. But it WOULD have been my fault, should the 647E have seriously injured the unit, because I had the power to stop him. If I didn't use that power right then and there like I did, it would be my fault that my fellow unit was hurt... And he explained that it wasn't my fault that I had to execute that man.. Even if he did seem helpless, because he chose to go against the union, and he chose to affiliate himself with that group of anti-civil activists. That wasn't my fault. But what if I didn't amputate him? He could've gotten loose on the population, stabbed someone, hurt them, because I was too weak to remove him from society.
050's words have helped a lot... His logic makes sense to me, but I still don't think it's going to be easy for me... But at least now I know that it truly is my duty as a CCA Unit. No one else will deal with those kinds of people, so it's our job to do just that.
On to happier news, I seem to be making a lot of friends in High Command. Which is definantly cool. I mean, they don't yell at me, they help me out, and they seem to care about me. Life seems good right now. I mean, I know 050 at least is my friend. I get to hang out with him every morning and show him up at shooting targets, haha. He thought it was crazy that I practice marksmanship and hand to hand every morning when I told him about it. I guess other units don't take that much time to practice their combat arts? I dunno.. Anyways, I asked him yesterday if he could help me with a project I'd like to do, and he said he'd help me out. I got to go into the Mechanical Operations Center to work on my pistol, which, I have a feeling is going to stay my favorite weapon, even when I get my own MP7. I used a dremel rotary tool to make an engraving in my pistol slide: My digits, 999, except in a circle, kind of like a playoff of the number of the beast, 666. I know, corny, corny, haha 999's a goofball. Still, it looked pretty cool after I painted in the engraving with red paint. Looked pretty damn badass.
050 asked me if I was planning on joining VICE.. I told him that I was actually planning on staying in JURY, and he seemed genuinely disappointed. He talked things over with me, and told me that if I joined VICE I could receive all the same training that a JURY unit would if I find a friendly 01 or an OfC. I think that sounds really nice. I mean, I think I'm friends with 211, an officer of JURY. She laughs at some of my jokes at least, and she doesn't seem to care that I talk to her like a friend. Hell, I even asked her if she wanted to take her lunch break with me, haha. I was sure that'd get me at least a blackmark, but y'know, it didn't. I think I can call her my friend and she wouldn't mind. So that's two Officers I know now. I think I'll join VICE, so that I can do the mechanical side of things that I love to do, AND still protect the people of the City by getting the same training JURY teaches. It's the best of both worlds.
I also asked 887 to give me pistol marksmanship training, and he set up the targets, first at medium range. It didn't look hard at all to me, and it wasn't. I guess I'm a whole lot better than I thought. Practicing often seems to be really beneficial, because He set up the targets, in different staggered formations with the red ones being targets and the green ones being penalties. He said that I had 10 seconds to shoot all of the targets, and I had to get at least an 80%, and each penalty target I shot would bring my score down by 5%.
I actually brought down all of the targets in under 5 seconds and didn't hit a single penalty. He moved the targets farther down range and in a new formation: Same result. It was easy, actually. The pistol is probably the easiest weapon to control and fire quickly and accurately with in the CCA's arsenal. He just turned to me, stared at me for a few seconds, before saying "No training required." And just walking out of the firing range, like he was mad at me for being good at shooting things, haha. No compliments, just that stare he gave me like "What the hell are you doing wasting my time?"
It was a pretty good day, haha.||::>

//You're an 05, with little to no marskmanship experience. Start acting like it... 2 weeks of even daily practice isn't anywhere near enough to consistently get results such as you're describing. Unless you're lying to your journal, this needs to stop. As an 05, you're authorized to a certain level of marksmanship; no more, no less. You're describing the proficiency of an 02 or 01.
Nothing personal - Just the system.
-
// A watermelon sized target at 20 yards (About the maximum range the firing range has to offer) is not hard at all to hit in real life, ESPECIALLY considering every morning my unit practices for just about half - a full hour of shooting targets in the range. This unit probably spends more time practicing than any other 05 does - and an admin can check the logs and verify that for you if you really doubt it. 20 yards is easily done - especially with a small caliber competition shooting handgun like the USP Match chambered in 9mm. Considering those two factors: The amount of time he spends training, and the distance of the targets (Again, child's play, daily practice for half an hour to an hour for two weeks is actually enough to get pretty damn decent with any firearm at that range), I would say it's not overkill at all. An 02 or an 01 should be able to do nearly double that distance with his sidearm if he practices as often as this unit does.
-
//As an 05, you're authed to certain levels of accuracy. No more, no less. Nothing personal, but that's the system. For greater degrees of accuracy, make an authorization application.
-
// If he trains properly, he could shoot better then your Officer, Globey. There is no restriction, it just depends on how much OOC and IC time you spend on improving.
-
// The days he asked to be refilled with ammo I saw a bunch of targets with different ranges at the firing range, he spends most of the time shooting stuff so I TRUST him the how to use a pistol.
-
//I recall a massive discussion about this while we were on C18. The ultimate verdict was that units have certain levels of accuracy dependent upon their rank. The thread seems to have disappeared, though... I'm going to keep looking for it.
Edit: Great logs. One of the few semi-regular publications in here that I actually enjoy reading. Keep it up :)
-
// I like reading some of your entries, brings out quite the emotion and what not. Keep up the good work on this.
-
// First time ever getting posts similar to reviews on a piece of literature I've written :') Love you guys. And I'll take the time to write an auth app later. If there's mixed views on the subject, then I'm going to try to appease both views on the topic. In the meantime I will continue my daily training as per usual for 999.

<::|| Well... I'm writing this latest log entry from the medbay. This all seems so... Fucked up. First of all - After receiving the last training required of an 05 to be eligible for promotion, I met a conscript in the detainment block. 208 happened upon me and explained everything about why there was a moldish colored alien in detainment. He was nice. He seemed scared of me, but nice. Now this second vortigaunt - Something seemed just plain... Off, about her, from the very beginning. She didn't seem to fond of me, or the other units. I tried my best to ignore that though and be friendly to her and I come in from patrolling and she's literally bashing 036's head in with a metal ball. He's then lying half-conscious on the floor, the vort didn't even seem to care that I had my pistol pointed at her, because she threw that damn ball and fractured one of my ribs. 036 kept trying to fight it, and the vort broke both of his legs, slashed him open badly. I retrieved my pistol from the floor from where I'd dropped it and she disarmed me yet again, and slashed 036's face open, and dragged me through the nexus, using my biosignal to automatically open the doors before she just ran off, leaving me coughing and trying to breath with my busted rib.
Overall - Pretty embarrassing. Before she disarmed me though I managed to take a shot and skim the side of her knee with a bullet... I don't know if it slowed her down any though. I was in the medbay though and made a joke about sitting in a bed in the 'shame corner' because I got the shit kicked out of me by a conscript, but he laughed it off and said that no 05 should have to stop a vortigaunt... Still not convinced though. If I would have been aiming straighter, maybe put in a little bit more practice this morning at the range, I could have disabled the conscript and it would have never escaped.. What was that 050 said about shooting the 647E? If I shot him and he died, it wasn't my fault, but If I didn't shoot him and he hurt another unit, it was my fault.
Same applies here, doesn't it? It's my fault that 036 nearly got killed, because I failed to disable or kill that vortigaunt. 05 or not... It was my duty, and responsibility to bring her down. I should have shot her the moment I came into the room and saw her beating 036, but I didn't. I hesitated and tried to reason with her, and nearly got both me and 036 killed...
I'm going to rest now... The SHIELD Units tell me that they'll do a checkup tommorrow and make sure the fracture is mending properly, and if it is, I'll be allowed to resume normal duties... I don't think it'd be smart to jump into vigorous hand to hand training tomorrow though..
I'll skip that one, and just do firearms training.
Not sure how to end this log. Also almost got my head blown off by an OTA unit for just asking her if she wanted coffee. I guess she really didn't want any coffee. Annndd apparently 270 doesn't like me either. Well, actually I think she's rough on me because she's an Officer and all - she seemed nice enough to not even be mad at me for patrolling without verdicts, and restocked mine for me so that I could do my duties and not have to worry about it. I don't know if I could call her my friend. I mean, I want to call her my friend, but I don't think she'd enjoy that very much.
Going to go back to bed. Maybe ask a VICE Unit if he can come in here and show me how to disassemble my pistol so that I can clean it, since I have nothing better to do.||::>

// 3 characters named in one log... Impressive.
Well much happened that day, but I enjoyed your rp and were glad you actually did p2l and allowed me (together with 036) to flee.
Beside, great logs, I actually enjoy to read this.

<::|| Today, has been one of the best days of my life. I'll start out with the best part first: The Commander I knew before I became A unit, the one who used dual pistols, I talked to him, and asked him if he could teach me, and he told me that he didn't know if he could, considering he had to be authorized specially by the SeC for it... Well, I talked to the new SeC today and he authorized me. I've got a pistol on each hip now, and it feels... Just right. It feels like I'm on top of the world.
Shooting them's a different story. It's hard so far, to get used to, but I'm hoping what the Commander teaches me will help me learn the technique faster. So far I can't really achieve any sort of respectable group even 10 feet away using them both... But hell, the more verdicts I put down range, the better I'll get, so I'm going to keep shooting until I'm the Jesse James of the CCA, haha.
And err... I might have to start censoring my logs... It's strange, but today a ZEALOT 01 came up to me, I'm going to call him James in here because I don't think I can specify his digits. Censorship and all that. Anyways... James requested me, by digits to appear at the D2 HAP... I followed him for awhile, and some strange things happened, a guy ended up being shot in the foot, and by the end of it all, I was told not to repeat anything that I saw to anyone... So what the fuck just happened? Is he screening me to see how I'll react for future ZEALOT recruitment? Or did he just want me to tag along to see if I'd bend or break like a fresh recruit? It's confusing, but if I'm trusted with something like this when no other 05 I know is, then it HAS to be a good thing.
Err, let's see, what else... Getting better at breaching and clearing... Though I think that'll take on a whole new level if I can learn to engage 2 targets at once with my pistols. 702 joked about me naming them.
Maybe I should? What are some good gun names...
Ebony and Ivory? Destiny and Fate? Death and Decay? The last one sounds kinda grim, but intimidating. I might think about that one for awhile.
Overall, todays been a good day.||::>

<::|| Truth and Justice. I've decided to name my twin pistols Truth and Justice. In my left hand I'll wield the power of truth, with it's encompassing knowledge and wisdom, and in my right hand I'll deliver fiery righteous justice to those who would harm others for their own benefit. Or at least, in my mind that's what it'll represent. To anyone staring down either of my barrels I think they'll be too preoccupied with shitting their pants to care what I've named them, haha.
I should be well enough tomorrow to resume hand to hand training, which is awesome... But there's one thing I'm marking down in my logs. I've never wanted to kill anyone before. I mean, I may have said something like I did, but never have I felt the burning desire to end someone else's life.
David Kunth, and
Dwight Rusalin(?)
Both of them fucking rapists, and Kunth also nearly murdered his victims. I want them to be the first tallies under my pistols. I hate them with all of my heart, and will truly be disappointed if I'm not the one to pull the trigger... Just the image of that woman lying in a pool of her own blood... Defiled, with that fucking smug note pinned to the wall makes me numb with rage.
They don't deserve to live. They don't deserve to draw another breath.
David Kunth,
Dwight,

<::|| Dwight's dead. I was the one to pull the trigger... I got what I wanted, but it doesn't feel like I expected it to. I expected to feel... Satisfied, content to remove that bastard from society so that he could never claim another victim. But instead, I feel empty... Not an ounce of joy or satisfaction, but nothing at all. Maybe things will be different when I kill that bastard Kunth. One down, one to go and the hunt will be over...
But there will always be more, won't there? If this is the path I'm taking, I'm always going to be hunting them. ||::>

<::|| "...The mastery of this art trains a unit to cause maximum damage to the maximum amount of targets as quickly as possible while keeping him clear of statistically traditional lines of fire. Through the rote mastery of this art your firing efficiency will rise no less than 120%, the difference of a 63% increase in lethal proficiency makes the master of this art, an adversary not to be taken lightly..."
Those are Commander 43500's words. I stepped into his world this morning when he started training me personally. I just saw the surface when I saw him use two pistols... It turns out it's the tip of the iceburg. It's a whole damn martial art dedicated to killing or incapacitating as many targets as possible using each handgun to create a 'killzone' in order to engage multiple targets simultaneously. He said that normally only augmented units had the speed and ability to fully master it, and that he started his training in it as an EpU. I'm starting my training as an 05... What does that mean? First the ZEALOT thing, then I made friends with the SeC, and now I'm being trained in a martial art that specializes in firearms... All this, and I can't even manage to get promoted to 04? I must be the single most over-trained 05 in existence through out all of the cities. Honestly.
Ehh... Also the Commander told me that I wasn't to use my second handgun until I have a mastery of the art. Which is entirely disappointing. But, I suppose I'll have to show discipline, and obey him or else he probably won't teach me... Lame. Lame lame lame lame lame, lame. It isn't the end of the world though. I'll just have to work extra hard on mastering it. Pft. Easier said than done really. I'm going to have to do a shit load of PT this week to be fast enough to preform each stance without waivering. Practicing without pistols so that when I have a pistol and I execute a technique it's second nature. How brilliant. Still. Maybe I'll sneak into the firing range sometimes and practice with live ammunition on some paper targets when no ones around.
So far he's taught me a technique to sweep 180 degrees with both pistols. I'm supposed to practice the drill until I can do it quickly and without losing balance, and work on my PT a whole lot.
I hope this martial art covers hand to hand combat situations with the pistols as well, so I can rub it in 899's face. He said he thinks it's a parlor trick, but I've seen the commander in action before. Three plus citizens attacking him and only one escaped, pretty sure that one was shot in the leg though. Wonder what Commander 43500 would think if he knew 899 doubted his abilities? Haha, I don't want to find out really. I'll blow his mind by the time I'm an 01. 01's can get augmentations, right? Or is it OfC's?
Speed augmentations, I really want them.||::>

<::|| Well, I'm an 04 now. Promotions feel good, and having that sweet MP7A1 on my back feels even better. Not all is fun and games though. It's starting to seem like I'm taking a serious debilitating injury every other day. I was giving this pretty little new german girl a tour around District 1, and, as nothing new there were tons of sheep crowding around me by the time I reached the D2 hap. I was about to play my favorite game where I shoot the cobble stone right next to their feet and make them all scatter, but out of the corner of my eye I see pulse rounds ripping through the air, and a 505 running full speed towards me with the Commander 73800 shooting at him. I went to draw out 'Justice' to stop that little bastard in his tracks, but he zipped past me and all of a sudden I feel this sharp flash of pain straight through my body.
I didn't believe it at first, everything was hazy as shit, I dragged myself back up against the building behind me, and I look down and there's this damn hole, straight in my gut that has a bit of damn smoke rising from it. I called for assistance immediately, everything was blurry, the citizens were freaking the hell out and all of a sudden, 899, that smug bastard appears to save my ass again, Hahaha. Glad I have friends. He drugged me up on something and I didn't really feel so shitty anymore, they dragged me into the medical bay, and when I woke up, it was like nothing had ever happened.. Except I was a bit sore, and drowsy, because they took my liver out and replaced it with a new one. Had to get a blood transfusion and they found out my bloodtype was O+.
So NOW they're started a damn blood bank out of me apparently. I hate needles. I ended up getting out of there and finding the german girl again, continued the tour like nothing happened. Totally didn't get my guts blown out with an OSPIR, I was out of there within a few hours, hahaha. She must think I'm some kind of super soldier now. Which, I don't really mind.
One thing that sort of bothered me... The Commander 73800, he didn't even stop to see if I was okay. He didn't even CARE that I was sitting on the side of the road with my stomach contents rearranged because of him. Not an ounce of concern. Just ran straight past me. Guess the moment I get to thinking I'm some sort of special, life'll change perspective on that REAL fast. ||::>

<::|| This is my final logfile. Got hit with a grenade today, and I'm on a trial period for ZEALOT recruitment. It seems like it's the Spec Ops of the CCA, so I'm excited. Not going to keep logs though anymore. Seems like they just waste a lot of time is all. ||::>

// New Logs buddy, He just made up an 'excuse' because ZEALOT told him that he had to write them on pen and paper x3

Lol, if anything computerized logs are even more important in ZEALOT, to perform regular evaluations of a unit's loyalty. Sounds like a silly system, to me.
-
This isn't about spying on a Unit. This is about him expressing himself and letting his emotions out on paper so he doesn't mess up later due to a fogged up head.
We have other means to test the loyalty of a Unit.
-
Paper. Typing. No difference.
And yes, the entire IC rational of the CCA letting units use Union resources for thir journls IS snooping.
This whole ZEALOT elitism thing needs to stop. I'm getting fed up with it, and I'm sure not the only one. Being in ZEALOT does not make you special. Next time I see a ZEALOT unit being elitist, may bethe time that I snap.
-
Spouting random insults like ZEALOT is full of elitism is unhealthy. I couldn't disagree more. Name specific examples, not here but in another complaint forum against ZEALOT. I'm sure any of your concerns would be addressed.
And, why would we want to risk a Unit spilling something that he otherwise shouldn't of said on his personal log when it can be viewed by all of HC? ZEALOT would rather not know his personal feelings then allow all of HC to know of ZEALOT operations.
-
Yes, because those fully brainwashed and subjugated, long serving units are very untrustworthy. I mean - It's not as if they have kill devices inside of them, have operated covertly before, or have never comitted harm against the Union.
The units. ZEALOT's very nature. The whole 'Herp derp, I'm ZEALOT so I can boss units around' mentality.
We removed rewards for elitism - This is far worse.
Anyways, good logs 'n all, Sheo. I'll be following your journal as much I did these :p
-
Globey, make a separate forum with specific examples. Because I sure as hell don't act the way you just described nor do I take kindly to those assumptions.
And I didn't even get that first part.

I've also experienced and seen ZEALOT elitism myself on more than one occassion. It's like ZEALOT units think they're like 007 when they join. ZEALOT isn't a "Spec Ops" division like you guys think. You deal with intel, not Spec Ops or Black Ops. There's nothing that makes you higher or better than any other unit.

Coming from someone who isn't in ZEALOT.
I won't respond here anymore, if this concerns you, make a thread.
