((OOC))
((Transcripts of the IC interview from ‘RUMOURS OF ARATHI HIGHLANDS! UNDEAD SPOTTED IN THE NORTH?‘))
21:19:10 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, mind telling me your whole name and rank within the military? 21:20:08 Raelinda-WyrmrestAccord shakes her head, returning the smile. "Not at all, Ms Runewhisper. I am Corporal Raelinda Silvershine, medic. Thank you for having me." 21:21:18 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: A medic! Ooo! Tell me a bit more. Are you well experienced on the field with your talents? 21:21:38 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Is this why you joined the military? Or, was there another reason you were interested? 21:23:06 [Raelinda-WyrmrestAccord]: As a Sister of Elune, I try to go where I feel I am most needed. In this case, it was the military. All I've ever wished to do was help and heal others. 21:23:55 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: People like you are heros on a whole other scale. I always envy those with healing skills. Is this your first campaign? 21:24:46 [Raelinda-WyrmrestAccord]: I joined... hmm, it would be a little over a year ago, now. Strange how fast things seem to move. *chuckles* It is not my first campaign with the 47th, and I hope it won't be the last. 21:26:30 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: In you own voice and words, what initially brought you--the regiment--to Stromgarde originally? Hasn't the Alliance army already won these lands over a while ago? 21:26:34 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: your own* ) 21:30:49 [Raelinda-WyrmrestAccord]: To put it perhaps too literally, I go where I am told to go. As you yourself have put it, we only won these lands a while ago, and that while is short. 21:33:49 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, what about these 'animal attacks' that have been going on? Do they really need an entire militia AND Alliance forces to protect against wild creatures? 21:34:26 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Does it tie into the rumors on the streets of Stormwind about Sylvannas Loyalists still roam around? 21:34:37 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: still roaming around up here* ) 21:35:40 Raelinda-WyrmrestAccord raises her eyebrows a touch, tilting her head. "Unfortunately, I know very little of Stormwind, other than the layout of it's streets and the stories of it's refugees and other homeless. I can't answer that as well as someone from the city." 21:36:18 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Thank you for your time, Miss Silvershine. 21:36:39 [Raelinda-WyrmrestAccord]: And you for yours, Ms Runewhisper. *smiles*
----------------------------------
21:37:06 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, what is your full name and rank in the army? 21:37:27 [Koreva-WyrmrestAccord]: Corporal, Koreva Gor. 21:37:31 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: And, why did you decide to enlist? 21:38:25 Koreva-WyrmrestAccord had to think for a little " to protect those who cant protect themselves" 21:39:21 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: A reasonable reason! As always, thank you for your service. 21:40:11 [Koreva-WyrmrestAccord]: its a honor to fight for our adoptive home, miss. 21:40:38 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, what brought the regiment here? Arathi has been stable in the Alliance hands for months now. 21:40:43 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Why the change? 21:41:45 [Koreva-WyrmrestAccord]: afraid i dont know, at best all i know is that our regiment was told to come and i have faith in my officers to give me the right amount of information so that i may perform my duty correctly and effectivly. 21:43:16 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: You don't know? Not even a bit as a Corporal? Are you admitting that it's a disorganized confusion being here? 21:47:53 [Koreva-WyrmrestAccord]: i am not, we are vary orginized in our ranks and how we handle things. 21:48:31 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Mhm... 21:50:07 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, what do you think is going on here? Is it really animals causing this much panic? Kolbold attacks in Elwynn were treated with less urgency. Does this have anything to do with the rumours of Sylvannas Loyalists and a potential new Scourge? 21:52:59 [Koreva-WyrmrestAccord]: my thoughts on all of this is rather simple compared to others, we are sent here to investigate what is going on, to set the public at eas and help as many civilians as possible. 21:53:27 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Ah, so you DO know something. Thank you for your time, Miss Gor. 21:53:34 [Koreva-WyrmrestAccord]: i dont know .... 21:53:45 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Indescisive Corporals... 21:53:47 [Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord]: Ms. Runewhisper, please don't put words in my sodiers' mouths. 21:54:03 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: You're right! Sorry about that, your grace. 21:54:13 [Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord]: Thank you, Corporal.
----------------------------------
21:54:58 [Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord]: Private Goldmane. 21:55:19 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: I love your weapon of choice, Miss. 21:55:34 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: That's an off the record compliment, don't worry. 21:55:43 Marsulu-WyrmrestAccord smiles at Ms. Runewhisper. "Thank you, its an heirloom." 21:55:59 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: What's your full name and rank? 21:56:08 [Marsulu-WyrmrestAccord]: Private Marsulu Goldmane. 21:56:32 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: A Private? How long have you been enlisted? Are you enjoying the military life? 21:57:05 [Marsulu-WyrmrestAccord]: I have been enlisted for about two months now, and yes, it has been a great experience. 21:58:29 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: That's good to hear! What brought your service here in Arathi? Do you find your presence needed with the militia of Stromgarde already here? 22:00:18 [Marsulu-WyrmrestAccord]: Assisting the area during the armistace, as in extra security to support the region is why we are here. I would think that the extra support is always welcomed. Haven't heard any complaints yet. 22:01:34 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: It is an armistace, though. And, with recovering from previous dark forces, why would the Horde even think of breaking said temporary treaty? Do you think extra presence here is actually due to the rumours of Sylvannas Loyalists raising new undead? 22:04:43 [Marsulu-WyrmrestAccord]: Well, for the first question, it is always good to be prepared, even in peace times. Extra patrols have never hurt anyone. As for the second question, supporting the forces here is our mission, not rumors. 22:05:29 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: That's all I need. Thank you for your time, Miss Goldmane. 22:05:40 Marsulu-WyrmrestAccord nods and smile
----------------------------------
22:06:26 Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord lets forth a wolfish smile "Ma'am, good evening" 22:06:47 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Good evening, sir. What is your full name and rank? 22:07:08 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "Prestor Davenport, Private" 22:07:58 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Davenport. How long have you served with the military? 22:08:40 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "I have been with the Fourtyseventh for about one month" 22:09:09 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: And, how have you been finding the military life so far? 22:09:34 Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord stoicly replies " It suits me just fine Ma'am." 22:10:30 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Is this your first time in Stromgarde, Mr. Davenport? 22:11:30 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "With the Fortyseventh yes" 22:12:00 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: What about other times? 22:12:13 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: I don't need details, just wondering what brought your here before. 22:12:25 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "I was here before some years ago on Gilnean buisness." 22:12:35 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: I see! 22:13:17 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, you are aware the Alliance now has a firm hold on these lands, correct? And, the Stromgarde Militia are well trained forces capable of patrolling and defending the land? 22:13:39 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Considering the part the had to play in the war here. 22:14:20 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "I am aware the Alliance has strong ties to Arathi yes." 22:14:33 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Just your opinion on what you've noticed working alongside the Stromgarde soldiers. 22:15:09 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "They are very hardy and determined soldiers." 22:15:48 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: If that is the case, why do you think they need Alliance forces here as well. ESPECIALLY, considering the Horde would not break a peace treaty in these times. 22:16:24 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Is it because rumours truly lay in the possibility Sylvannas Loyalists are still toying with new undead? 22:16:43 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "No idea, political science is not my area of expertise." 22:17:25 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "I have heard no such reports" 22:18:28 Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord maintained direct eye contact a faint red glow behind the iris 22:18:33 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Good thing I was not asking for political sciences. You have heard of animal attack of course. Why do you think an entire military needs to help 'hardy and determined soldiers' from a few bears and spiders? After they held their own against entire armies 22:18:33 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: of humanoids? 22:19:52 [Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord]: "I do not question the validity of the Alliance mission here. Also the spiders here are huge" 22:20:09 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: That's all I need to know, Mr. Davenport. 22:20:21 Prêstor-WyrmrestAccord nods "Ma'am"
----------------------------------
22:21:29 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Hello! What is your full name and rank, REDACTED? 22:21:53 REDACTED writes on a paper and holds it up. REDACTED 22:22:32 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: A REDACTED! Oh my! Fresh faces! How long have you served? 22:22:56 REDACTED writes on the paper some more. "REDACTED" 22:23:17 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Jeez! 22:23:31 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Is this your first time in Arathi? 22:24:53 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Not exactly! You don't have to answer, though. Me personally, it's my first time here. But, I have read a LOT of history books about it. And, kept up with the War that happened. It's exciting that the Alliance won these lands back, isn't it. 22:25:05 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: ?* ) 22:25:33 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Kinda deserved after the Alliance kept getting the short end of the stick with attacks. 22:26:28 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord repeated herself almost word-for-word, her smile never wavering. "It's deserved after the Alliance kept getting the short end of the stick, hm?" 22:26:40 REDACTED remains silent. 22:28:18 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord wrote about this in her book, reaching for her recorder, "Note: Interviewee had answered with writings as they are unable to speak. End." She looked up at the REDACTED. "I'm sorry, I like to keep the facts straight. Marshal, in order to prove I was getting 22:28:18 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord information from this REDACTED with honest intention, may I take a photo of REDACTED and one of REDACTED written responses? I am ONLY about facts." 22:28:51 [Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord]: Absolutely. 22:29:20 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Just hold up your paper with your last response. I don't want to be called a liar by the public. 22:29:38 *the sound of moving parchment could be heard* 22:30:01 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Hasn't the military already issued such a contract, Marshal? 22:30:05 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: When REDACTED first enlisted? 22:30:47 Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord held out his hand for REDACTED contract, "Allow me to read that, REDACTED." 22:33:15 Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord handed the contract to Celeste, "You may take REDACTED photo, as legal evidence if necessary, but it's not to be published in any magazines or newspapers." 22:34:00 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: It will only be used for legal evidence. Just like all my recordings. I want my 'i's dotted and 't's crossed. Let me sign that.~ 22:35:41 [LANGUAGE REDACTED]: *REDACTED* 22:36:11 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: I have to take your picture first with your last reported answer, and then I have one final question. 22:36:32 [Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord]: In REDACTED, REDACTED. 22:36:55 You let out a long, drawn-out sigh. 22:37:20 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: I want your response to my last question. This proves nothing in front of a judge or public prosecutor. 22:38:38 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Just your last response you wrote, I think you answered "Why do you find it so exciting miss". 22:39:22 You let out a long, drawn-out sigh. 22:40:17 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord picked up her gnomish recorder, speaking into it. "Null and void interview with REDACTED. Difficult for follow up evidence. End." 22:40:40 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Thank
you for your time avoiding my questions, REDACTED. Do not worry about your answers publicized.
----------------------------------
22:43:40 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: What is your full name and rank, miss? 22:43:49 [Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord]: Corporal Dymphna Hempstead 22:44:01 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Another Coporal! How long have you served. 22:44:12 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord returns the smile sweetly. "Five months" 22:44:29 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: And, how had military life treated you? 22:44:50 [Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord]: Quite well, i've enjoyed my time with the military 22:45:44 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Judging by your weapons, you look like a force to be reckoned with. Since you reached Corporal, I'm sure others look up to you. What do you look for in a combative Recruit and Private? Fun questions and compliment for you. 22:49:29 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord offers the woman another warm smile, "Firstly, thank you for that compliment. Secondly, I look for someone who has the will to serve the alliance in whatever capacity, I came on as someone with only a rudimentary knowledge of the blade, learned from » 22:49:29 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord » my father. In my time here I've honed my skills to make them more valuable to the remgiment. I'd hope to some day help to guide young privates and recruits to be their best as well, even though we are all constantly striving to learn, are we not?" 22:51:12 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord 's eyes sparkled with that true admiration. "Gods, I wish I was more like you. I'm pathetic with weapons, but I want to get better!" She wrote in her journal, drawing a little smiley face beside Dym's quote. "You seem quick to pick up on talent. Do you 22:51:12 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord say that the Stromegarde Militia you're working with here fit that bill?" 22:54:33 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord smiles as she looks about. "Each regiment has their own strengths and weaknesses, do they not? That is why we all work together to form a cohesive unit. The men and women here are quite battle hearty and ready to do what is needed to help these lands, » 22:54:33 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord » I look forward to fighting side by side with them, light-forbid, should the need arise" 22:56:08 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: If they are so talented and battle hardened, then why is it nessecary for the Alliance to help them fend off animal attacks, when they were the primary force in defeating the Horde on these lands. Orcs and Tauren fight a lot harder than a few critters. 22:56:20 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: lands?* ) 22:58:30 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord chuckles slightly, "Have you seen the size of those spiders out there Ms Runewhisper? True, one can be handled by a few soldiers, but, 4 or five of them? They are as big as an Elek, Or the Raptors. Something in the water here in Arathi do you think?" 23:00:19 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: The spiders are huge, but the Arathi Militia took down balistic weapons with vigor and strength. Are you saying that the men and women stationed here suddenly cannot handle a spider that goes down like a knife through hot butter? They are insects still, 23:00:19 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: and canons are much harder to cut. 23:01:21 [Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord]: Why no, I did not say that you did, Ms Runewhisper 23:01:39 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So you agree that they are a force to be reckoned with, still? 23:02:21 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: The militia, I mean. 23:03:49 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord gives her a noncommital shrug. "Yes, I understand your question. I've no doubt in their abilities, but, if we were asked to come and assist, I would be remiss in my duty to the alliance to not render any aid, even if it is just a body to assist" she » 23:03:50 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord » smiled. 23:04:07 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Mhm. 23:04:08 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Do you think that the true reason is because of the rumours going around that Sylvannas Loyalists are still messing around with necromancy and finding new undead? 23:04:38 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord blinked slightly, "I've heard no such rumors..." 23:05:45 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Contradictory to what lower ranked individuals said. I do hope Corporals pay attention in the infantry more than they have shown. That is all, Mrs. Hempstead. 23:06:12 Dymphnà-WyrmrestAccord nods, "Have a good evening, Ms Runewhisper"
----------------------------------
23:07:55 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Hello! What is your full name and rank, Miss? 23:08:24 [Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord]: "Private Knickerbocker Glory. A pleasure to meet you." 23:09:07 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: The pleasure is all mine! A Private, hm? How long have you served? And, is this your first time serving in a military based sense? 23:09:51 Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord smiles. "I have only been with the 47th for a few weeks, and this is my first deployment. I haven't served in an official capacity before." 23:10:35 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: How is military life treating you thus far? Do you enjoy serving with the comrades you have--just a yes or no, of course. I don't want you calling out names rudely before the Marshal. 23:11:30 [Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord]: "Our unit is rigorous, certainly, but I have enjoyed my time with my fellow servicemembers." 23:12:45 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Now that you are in Stromgarde, I'm sure you've noticed the militia serving these lands; the men and women dressed in the red and white regalia? Has the regiment been getting along with another fighting force that you've noticed? 23:13:52 Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord nods. "Yes, we have been cohabitating without incident. We all tend to keep to our own." 23:14:36 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: That's impressive to hear. It's always nice knowing our serving men and women focus on their tasks, and not in-fighting. I'm sure that will quell a lot of public unrest, for sure. 23:15:03 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Do you think the Stromgarde Militia are a force to be reckoned with? Considering they were the main force that won the Arathi War? 23:16:18 [Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord]: "I have not... been on this planet long, to comment on anything from a previous war. I can only attest to what I have seen of them myself. They look very prepared and take their training seriously." 23:16:58 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, because they take that training serious, you trust them to hold their own, correct? The 47th doesn't have to worry too much about defending them? 23:18:17 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord whispered quickly to Lebryn, before going back to focusing on Knick. 23:19:40 Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord smiles. "I believe that if the chain of command decided it was prudent to dispatch us here, then it was a decision made for a reason. We are here to support the locals, and I trust what my superiors decide." 23:21:38 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord nodded, still smiling brightly. "Since you did admit to the serious and trained militia in my previous question, do you believe the rumour is true that the extra forces are needed because of Sylvannas Loyalists being spotted close up north?" 23:23:52 Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord squints slightly. "I hadn't heard of such a rumour. Our deployment here is to assist the militia with their investigations of aggresive wildlife." 23:24:09 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So you do know why you are here. Interesting. 23:25:20 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So after Stromgarde Militia took down Horde forces, which certainly happened while you were on this planet as it was half a a year ago, they cannot handle agressive wildlife without Stormwind aid? 23:25:31 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: a year* ) 23:25:48 [Lebryn-WyrmrestAccord]: A reminder, Ms. Runewhisper, we don't simply represent Stormwind. We represent all of the Alliance. 23:26:27 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Right! The Alliance. I get that mixed since Stormwind is like, the central hub since the Grand Leader is the human king. 23:27:09 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, they need aid from the ENTIRE Alliance. Even larger. 23:27:35 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Regardless, Miss. Glory. The question remains mostly unchanged. 23:28:09 Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord can't help but glance at Lebryn. "I cannot speak for why the decision was made. Again, I trust that the chain of command makes informed decision, and I am
happy to be here to support the locals." 23:28:47 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Thank you for your time, Miss Glort. 23:28:50 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Glory* ) 23:29:37 Knickerbockr-WyrmrestAccord bows her head. "Happy to help, ma'am."
----------------------------------
23:43:53 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Hello! What is your full name and rank, Miss? 23:44:55 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord beams cheerily at the stranger. Her demeanour warm and welcome she addressed the woman with a smile. "I am Master Sergeant Keladry Brightmaul, of the 47th's attached Medical Corps. A pleasure to meet you." 23:45:57 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: The pleasure is all mine, Miss Brightmaul! Another medic, hm? How long have you been enlisted? Were you always a medic or did you train within the ranks? 23:48:55 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Here, let's step back a bit. I feel uncomfortable overhearing a Recruit being coached; don't wanna be that kind of civilian. 23:49:04 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord nods, "I have been training for years. When I was much younger, I was assigned to the 57th Stormwind Regiment, under the fallen Lord Hammerfall, to initially begin squirehood. He recognized that my talent lay not in the combat arts, but in the restorative 23:49:04 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord ones, and set me on the surgical path. I would say I spent.. 6 or so years with them, in army camps and field hospitals, or in the Stormwind Hospital learning directly from the doctors there, before making my way towards this unit. I spent a year as the 23:49:04 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord head of hospital surgical team, administrative team, before I joined up with the 47th just under a year ago." 23:50:38 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: You did ALL that! Jeez, not to be rude, but how old are you? You look so young. and yet so talented already! 23:51:25 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord grins, "Not young, nor old. I am now 24 years old. I began my squirehood around the time I turned 15." 23:52:21 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Colour me impressed! People like you inspire me. Women who can kick ass are my weakness--in an innocent way! I meant, I look up to them without hesitation. 23:52:38 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: And, kicking ass on saving people is still kicking ass! 23:52:51 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord smiled brightly, warmth radiating off of her along with genuine excitement. 23:53:22 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord smiles knowingly, "I consider it my duty. There are too many in this world who walk in need of aid. Who am I to not give back what I can?" 23:54:01 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Such wise words. The public needs to hear that our heros are doing what a lot of us do not have the courage to do. 23:55:22 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Since you're a Sergeant, it's more accurate to say you know more about the Stormgarde Militia that patrol these lands. Is it easy to work with them? Or, do two military forces tend to bump heads? Like an....what's it called...alpha wolf and alpha wolf 23:55:22 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: going at it? 23:57:53 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord cants her head curiously. "It is common for two different organizations to work in tandem with one another. Quite often it is to the betterment of troops under each individual banner, and to the peoples of the afflicted area. I would not call it alpha 23:57:53 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord wolf versus alpha wolf, but compare it more to hand in hand. An organization can only get so much done with what it has. When another organization steps in to aid, it is to bolster and amplify what organization has, or has done for the region." 23:58:49 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Good! Again, rumours about the aggressive behaviour of the Alliance forces should be put to rest from such reasonable lips. 23:59:43 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Do you find the Stromgarde Militia a force to be reckoned with? Considering they were the main force behind winning the Arathi War? Is it almost an honour being able to work alongside them? 00:00:35 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Is it an honour being able to work alongside them?** )) 00:02:50 [Keledry-WyrmrestAccord]: "It is an honour to work alongside any organisation truly. Being a medic, you become embedded in a unit. You get to know the faces you fight beside, you pull back from the brink. You see them at their very best, and their very worst days. And to be able 00:02:50 [Keledry-WyrmrestAccord]: to shoulder that vulnerability for even the shortest times, to allow those soldiers to rest, recuperate and return to battle with their strength returned.. Yes, I consider that a deep honour indeed. The Stromgarde Militia are an exemplary unit to be 00:02:50 [Keledry-WyrmrestAccord]: working alongside. They are as hardworking now as they have been throughout their time here. Their efforts will not, and cannot go unnoticed by any of the people here." 00:03:53 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: You have such wonderous things to say about them! Honestly, I wouldn't leave these lands to more capable hands from what you've told me! 00:04:53 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: You trust them to defend this place, even when the Alliance eventually departs? 00:05:24 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Considering your praise for their ability. 00:09:08 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord nods, "I do. I place my trust wholeheartedly in their hands. They have been an exemplary pinnacle of stability for the region following the signing of the armistice. Their leadership has faced a challenge in remaining embedded in the Stronghold. I cannot 00:09:08 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord imagine the challenge in surpassing the difficult times, but they have managed it. Not only have they managed it, but their personnel have remained just as dedicated and determined as when they first arrived here. And that, to me, seeing their 00:09:08 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord determination and pride, tells me that their leadership is committed to their cause, and will fight to keep the peace and stability here as long as they can." 00:11:11 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, why does the Alliance even need to be here in the first place now? If they can defend themselves--and be a pivital part of winning the War in Arathi against the /Horde/--why would they need help defending against mere animal attacks? 00:11:42 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Cause the wildlife will still be here when you leave. 00:13:05 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Are you suggesting that the Stromgarde Militia is fabricating their strength if they need help against spiders but not Orcs? 00:14:14 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Or, is the real reason the Alliance sent an entire regiment of five-thousand people because of the rumours of Sylvanas Loyalists being spotted and playing with necromancy again? 00:15:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord nods, "That is an excellent question. To explain, when a military goes into an area for an active campaign for a long period of time, and then that campaign ends and the troops return to their homelands, there is an unfortunate consequence to the 00:15:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord disruption of order in the region. A power vacuum of sorts. Leaving troops here does not mean that there's an offensive campaign. For these lands especially, the presence here provides a feeling of security for those whose homes and lives have been 00:15:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord disrupted. For me personally, part of my goal in these northlands is to assist rebuilding. Rebuilding infrastructure. Assisting refugees with finding living, or bringing a measure of healthcare to them. Promoting the rebirth of those that have lost their 00:15:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord homes, and the lives they had beforehand." 00:17:39 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So you're saying, the military came here...destroyed the place in War...then came back to fix things? Despite the 'animal attacks' reasoning I have been told by your Privates? 00:20:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord smiled
warmly at the woman, "The army way of life includes a measure of emergency response. Actively rebuilding infrastructure, and promoting the well being of refugees in destabilized regions are two duties that are often overlooked." She listened to the 00:20:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord question curiously, nodding as she answered, "This place, these lands, these are ancestral homes to many people. Dwarven, human, elven. It is a place that many would love to see rebuilt. As to the animal attacks, there have been a bite or two that have 00:20:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord come through my medical bay, but nothing I would consider enough to raise eyebrows over. The kinds of wounds one might see on a hunt, or an accidental encounter." She kept the warm smile up, even as she started to feel an inkling of nervousness at the 00:20:32 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord invasive questions. 00:23:08 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: To quote you, you say that despite the main reason for establishing a force here was for animal attacks, you say that in truth, there is nothing to warrant a raise of a brow. Interesting. Thank you for your time. Miss. Brightmaul. 00:23:50 Keledry-WyrmrestAccord dips her head, returning the gesture with thanks of her own. "Thank you for taking the time to come to our camp tonight," she answered.
----------------------------------
00:26:12 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Hello! What is your full name, sir? 00:26:30 [Farnal-WyrmrestAccord]: Master Sergeant Tobias Farnal, madam. 00:26:57 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Farnal. I am Celeste Runewhisper. I don't think you were here when the Marshal introduced me. 00:27:35 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord shakes his head. "I was not," he says. "I was assisting in administering a leadership course to a prospective sergeant, Ms. Runewhisper. It is nice to meet you." 00:28:40 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: How long have you been been serving the miltary? Is this your first time in Arathi? 00:29:22 [Farnal-WyrmrestAccord]: I've been serving the military since my enlistment in March of this year. And yes, this is my first time in Arathi. 00:29:48 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Mine as well! 00:30:01 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: It's a little colder than I imagined. 00:30:48 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: How has military life been serving you, Mr. Farnal? Master Sergeant is quite the feat! 00:30:59 Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord complimented with a warm, genuine smile. 00:31:33 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord nods. "It's the sea air," he says. "Acts as a heat sink. I imagine it's less cold than most places in the winter. And military life has been very good--and I'm honored to have been promoted to this rank, though I just received it last Saturday." 00:32:14 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Congratulations are in order then! I'm sure the Alliance military is honoured to have you as a junior officer. 00:32:49 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord smiles a bit. "For that you'd have to ask my superiors, Ms. Runewhisper. I can only speak for myself." 00:33:37 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Of course! A humble soul, I can appreciate that. 00:34:14 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord smiles again, that little soft smile of his, but he doesn't add anything to that. 00:34:24 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Since you've seen a lot, and clearly know what you want your soldiers to demonstrate on the battlefield. Does the Stromgarde Militia make it easy to work with them? Do they show themselves as realiable soldiers? 00:36:53 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord pauses to think on that for a moment. "Well," he says. "I'm one of the regimental mages, and I've spent most of my time here in the mage tower and not liaising with local militia, so I'm perhaps not the best source to speak on that. However, I can » 00:36:53 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » say definitively that I see them drilling constantly in front of the enlisted quarters and the stables, and that always speaks well to a military force." 00:38:30 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Regardless of your specific talents, it is true to say that they are trusted to fight with switfness and practice? When the Alliance eventually departs, do you trust them to hold their own? Especially considering you've seen them train so diligently. 00:42:32 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord thinks on that, and his mind takes on that blank, concentration look he gets in the heat of combat or solving a really hard problem. "That's an interesting question," he says. "The fact is, we're here. At least, we're based out of here. Our primary » 00:42:32 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » mission involves the surrounding area. We'll leave when that mission is complete, at which point by definition we will trust them to hold their own. So when you think about it--the answer is yes, but the question itself posits a condition--our » 00:42:32 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » leaving--that really implies the answer to the question, doesn't it?" 00:43:33 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Yes, it does! The animal attacks are what you're referring to right, Mr. Farnal? 00:44:03 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord shoots a quick glance to the mage tower. "Yes," he says in a flat and not-quite believable voice. "Of course." 00:45:17 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, considering you spoke praise of these Militia soldiers, say how hard they trained, and you say you trust them with their fighting and defensive prowess. They were a pivatal force against the Horde, but then there is concerns for wildlife attacks. Even 00:45:17 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: when the Alliance leaves, the wildlife will still be here. 00:45:37 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: pivotal** ) 00:45:46 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: And, they were** )) 00:46:12 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: So, they can't handle animal attacks, but you also trust them to hold their own without the Alliance? 00:46:14 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: Interesting. 00:46:43 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: What do you have to say about the rumour of the real reason being here is regarding Sylvannas Loyalists being spotted up here; practicing raising more undead. 00:46:46 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: ?* 00:50:43 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord thinks on this. "I believe if you listened closely to me, that was not what I said. What I said--and what you asked--was whether I trusted them to hold their own -when- we left. And given that our leaving means we're no longer needed, then by » 00:50:43 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » definition -at that point in time- I will trust them to hold their own, because that's the only reason we'd leave." He pauses, then begins on her second question. "I think the real reason we're here is that there's been a number of attacks on » 00:50:43 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » small villages. An increase--so, more than the normal. And we're here to stop them. If it's wildlife, then that's what we'll stop. If it's something else, then -that's- what we'll stop. My job isn't to speculate, Ms. Runewhisper--that's for the » 00:50:44 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » officers. My job is to execute my orders, which means leading my platoon against the forces that are threatening good people out here trying to make a start to their lives--I've no evidence that it's the Banshee, but if it is, then that's who we'll » 00:50:44 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord » fight." 00:54:01 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: If it is animal attacks, I certainly hope that the Alliance doesn't try to wipe out all the wildlife like they reported did on Kingsland. Since, wildlife will always be here, and judging by the answers of your Privates, there will be a time you depart. 00:54:01 [Runewhíísper-WyrmrestAccord]: When? Of course, I can't expect you to know. Thank you for your time, Mr. Farnal. 00:55:41 Farnal-WyrmrestAccord nods. "As to Kingsland, I'll refer you to the officers for complete descriptions of that. As to the rest, I don't believe we've any intent other than the protection of villagers. You are very welcome, Ms. Runewhisper."
