The request

"Shit! FightSaber was already lagging behind, and now that my sword is destroyed... I can't save anyone like this! To be able to protect my friends, to do that - I'll need to work hard to get my own, up to date machine."

"Yeah! It's time to do this! I'll show you guys what I can do yet."

[The actual post you can respond to:]

Something's not right with Unity Group bases. Resources distributed towards unit maintenance and repairs trickled to bare necessities, the quality of food served in mess halls took a noticeable hit, even water in the showers is measured now! What the heck is going on? The man responsible for support has the answers.


"Gavin requested a new unit for himself and somehow, the request was approved. The thing is, we're covering expenses related to its construction, and since it's supposed to roll out fast, it's not cheap. I'm cutting costs where I can just so UG stays afloat."

Logistics Specialist Dirchs looks exasperated. Not by this question, but by the situation.

"And before you ask, no I don't like it either. Just hang in there. This is not a permanent setup. It'll pass soon... I hope."

So happy to know that our funding is in safe, responsible hands. Isn't there any kind of safeguards against this kind of abuse?

"I'm sure you noticed, but Gavin isn't exactly an ordinary member of Unity Group. Hell, he's not even a member in the first place - but we still have to dance to his tune."

"Well. The Commander could've vetoed him, but..."

I know. I'd just hoped that whoever in the ESUN signed off on this group had taken care to put some blocks against things like that in place. Don't any countries care where their tax money is going?

"As long as there are results..." Dirchs pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Our sponsors are actually happy with what we're doing. Including letting Gavin run around, do whatever the hell he wants, it seems."

And they don't think there will be any negative impact on success if we're starved for resources to meet his whims?

"If there will be, at least that'll give us an excuse to stop letting him get away with everything."

"For an important organisation like Unity Group, it sure has been organized in a happy go lucky fashion."

[majestic_keiki]

You don't say.

"It's not that component pieces are lacking. My men are disciplined, Howe and Huffman have their quirks but are experienced and the Commander... well, he's trying his hardest."

"What I'm saying is that it feels like someone made Unity Group this way on purpose. But I said too much already."

I see...[That was a rather worrying thought. Why would somebody do it like that?]
