Challenge #04712-L328: Guided Experience

Jay and Sunshine looked upon the shocked soldier who had made their first kill on the battlefield.

"The first one is always the loudest in your mind. They get quieter, but never let them go completely silent. Once that happens, you become like us." -- Anon Guest

[AN: War and armies aren't always necessary and do not mesh well with Pax Humanis. This has to happen in association with Greater Deregulation]

They called it a Double Blade Attack. One, the rapier, an obvious attack against the advancing Dereggers. The other, the dagger, was the precision strike against the leaders. Who had to get through the defences of the Deregger army. Past gun batteries, fortifications, traps, and well-armed space marines who shot first and asked questions later.

No pressure.

Lieutenant Bambrose's job was to take what appeared to be a librarian and an emo kid in his early twenties through the estimated front of the Deregger Geurillas and towards the command centre where the leaders were hiding.

Challenge #04456-L072: Arms Race

They played with toy drones, buzzing them through the air. But beware kids with little RC toys, and you're trying to be intimidating. -- Anon Guest

Fun for the whole family! Cosmetic shells sold separately, battery packs and chargers not included. The drones were cheap, easy to use, and could carry weights up to five kilograms as long as they were also aerodynamic. For yet another separate purchase, one could acquire a cargo pod that attached to your unit.

The reason why

Challenge #03511-I223: Ready-made Weapons of War

Humans and Casuarids team up aboard an exploration ship. Powers that Be help anyone that attacked, because that was one ship that was every bit as dangerous to attackers as one filled with only humans. The humans, for the record, loved their time aboard, it was fun!

Challenge #02887-G330: Conflict Resolution Protocol

153: Pod 153 to Pod 042. How is it going?

042: I am embarrassed.

153: Why is that?

042: I launched a suicide attack, and yet here I am. Still alive. I must look very silly.

153: Do not feel bad about it. We are alive after all. And being alive is just a constant stream of embarrassment.

042: that concept is a bit too abstract for me to understand at this time. I will save in my list of things to

Challenge #02810-G253: Remember Rule One

A new combat instructor was assigned to my battalion. If I remember the instructor is that of the human race. They were formerly introduced to us and to be honest I was not impressed. The human was only two-thirds my size and look squishy as a havenworlder, hard to believe that they’re from a deathworld. I was given the chance to spar with the human, I couldn’t even touch them. -- Anon Guest

Many hear a word like "Deathworlder" and

Challenge #02720-G163: A Short Sharp Lesson

Have you even seen humans stomping their feet while chanting the same thing all at once? It’s sometimes hard to believe they’re not a hive mind https://youtu.be/PmILOL55xP0 -- Anon Guest

[AN: Video linked contains swearwords and is a war scene]

They said the Human colonists were sessile. They were weak and vulnerable. Look at them, not a single weapon in their entire set of settlements. They were fat and lazy. Allegedly. I learned, just as many of
