[He's chosen the backdrop and everything about this strategically. Behind him is the wall of the bubble, the ocean beyond visible as schools of fish and perhaps some ominous larger shapes dart past behind him.

Dualscar himself is resplendent in his full armour, emblazoned with the Aquarius symbol across his chest in Royal purple and his laser rifle slung over his shoulder, as well as his sword belted at his waist. His cloak spreads out like a fan behind his head and his gold rings gleam. Overall, he's an impressive figure of a troll.]

People of Vvatheon.

I am Orphaner Dualscar, a military leader amongst the trolls, many a wwhom livve in this city. Wwhatevver wwe may feel about havvin' been brought here, or about the city itself, wwe do for noww call this place our home, and it's a fragile bubble a life wwith nothin' but fathoms a ocean all around it.

I'm recordin' this today because I understand that this bubble may be under threat from monsters that livve in the deeps. I don't knoww wwhen another monster wwill strike, but I wwant to do my part in makin' sure wwe're ready to fight back wwhen and if the threat appears.

I'vve already been wworkin' wwith the leaders a the existing militia. Minato an I have agreed that I'll put together and organize a group wwhose specific purpose is to defend the city from attack. I'm lookin' for those wwith fightin' experience - Calvalreapers, Archeradicators, an the like. Most important wwould be those wwho can survvivve outside the bubble, either alone or wwith the assistance a equipment. From them I'll put together a Ninjaquatic strike team, to be lead directly by me.

Contact me if you're interested.

Vvantas.

Eridan, can I count on you? I might havve a leadership position for you if you provve yourself.
At least I knoww you havve gills.

Expatriot, a wword.

Half an hour? Not bad, and might be enough, dependin' on the strength a our foe.

All out. The purpose is to repel attack an destroy the enemy. I see no reason to say otherwwise. But you'll havve to be wwillin' to accept orders to the contrary if strategy requires a different tactic.

Wwhat's your name?

[Vegeta is pleased that the default strategy is "kill them". Other tactics might be necessary at times, but blowing his enemy to pieces was definitely a favorite.]

Vegeta.

[He inclined his head.]

I can hold back if necessary. It's good to know there's someone around here that isn't as ridiculously soft-hearted as the rest of the city.

[Finally a human who isn't basically useless]

Bein' soft hearted wwould only get a troll culled. It's not a common feature a my species, and certainly not the successful members.

Wwhat's your style a fightin' like?

[Vegeta is not a human, Dualscar. He's something else, something far more powerful and violent.

You'll probably get along famously.]

It depends. Underwater and in space, I mainly manipulate my ki. If you don't have that sort of thing on your world, I can demonstrate.

[Not like he knows the difference or would care. But he likes powerful and violent.]

Wwhat's ki, then? Go ahead and showw me.

[Seeing as he's outdoors, Vegeta just sets the SFC down, giving a view of a tree in the park. He holds out his hand and tosses a blast at it, reducing it to a pile of splinters.]

[Oh, okay. He's a psychokinetic. Dualscar doesn't look impressed, but he is pleased and gives a nod of approval]

Can you do that under wwater wwithout fryin' evveryone?

Provided they aren't stupid enough to throw themselves directly in front of it.

[And if they do, they deserve to die anyway.]

[He agrees.]

Don't be firin' on your felloww soldiers, either. But I take your point. Things can get chaotic in battle, and accidents happen. That wwasn't wwhat I wwas gettin' at.

Ah. It isn't electric or anything that is conductive in water, and I'm in control of my power.

[~~He would totally fire on someone if they really pissed him off.~~ Vegeta is a paragon of control.]

Then there shouldn't be a problem. If someone's stupid enough to get in your wway, they deservve the cullin that wwould result.

Glad to havve you on board, Vvegeta.
