Chief Executor in the 227th Magical Artillery division. The job seemed simple: bring the spell-slingers to the designated area, they throw fire or lightning or whatever at the desired target, and we left. Easy, right?

Wrong. We were called "Executors" for a reason. You can talk about "honor" and "glory" until The Elves return, but when some teenager is writhing on the ground, bleeding out of their eyes, ears, and mouth, begging you to end their life before they transform into the drat soul-sucking Shadow we were fighting, you tend to have a different perspective on The War.

Bard, another song, please. I'm tired of these war sagas.

Me, well, it was pretty quiet for me. A few skirmishes, nothing really. Saw some people die. People I didn't know really well. Don't know really if I ever even saw one... glimpses I guess, but they say you can't be sure unless you're sure, which doesn't sound like much to me but it means something to some people.

I had a friend who saw some of the worst of it. He had real bad luck I guess. Kept ending up in it. The Gibbering at Tallahassee, when we lost all those country music stars. The Doom Over Timbuktu, yeah. Holy poo poo. When all the sand dunes froze. I seen the sats of that, it looks pretty bad still. All those guys out there still massaging sand.

He wasn't at Melbourne thank God. Whatever that was, whoever came home, they didn't really come home. Rest in peace, Tasmania, wherever you are now.

I was an embedded reporter in a platoon of sky elves. One day the squad came across a group of mandroids with their negacores ripped out as their widowed fembots wept beside them, unwilling to abandon the units of their beloved. There are some things you just can't forget.

Most mandroids have a good sense of humor about it, although it may have just been the kind of camaraderie that is only forged in the fires of war. Nega-Rich, a mandroid sentry I met during my stay at the OmniSpire quickly became my friend. I'd call him tin man and he'd call me meat boy, we spent many days gambling in the holodungeon, drunk on laser wine. He got honorably discharged after getting mauled by a werecougar, but he's doing fine now that his wounds have stopped leaking. We still play cards from time to time.

I remember when the Arcane Corps instituted the Academic Draft, started swiping students from Scholariums. Of course, the vast majority couldn't conjure a simple light - let alone anything actually destructive - so they just gave them swords and sent them through the grinder. Those that actually demonstrated proficiency in magic were sent to divisions like mine.

For all the power they commanded, these children were more nervous than a Mind Flayer in a golem factory, jumping at the slightest noise. Their ostentatious crimson-and-gold uniforms (with epaulets, for The Six's sake) were frayed and coated in a thick layer of mud by the first week.

This one girl, couldn't have been a day over 14, raven hair and dark complexion... Meena, I think her name was? It is so easy to forget names. But you never forget faces.

Anyways, this kid was a master of fire, the level of control she had was astounding. She could bore hundred-yard tunnels underground as easily as you and I breathe. I know there are plenty of codgers who claim to be "Masters of the Arcane", but she accomplished in 14 years what took those people a lifetime of study.

Of course, none of this made a difference when the mandroids scryed our camp and ambushed us. Just a moment's loss of concentration, and one of the brightest minds our world had ever seen was reduced to cinders.

i was a black helicopter pilot during the outer texas campaign, didn't see a whole lot of action during my time there but my unit did have a close encounter with a mexigon about 20 klicks south of San Antonio. fortunately we managed to take off and gtfo before it launched its void swarm, but a company-sized detachment of Dakota Manraptors wasn't so lucky. i feel lovely for saying it but i wasn't too sorry about them, they always seemed like real assholes whenever we operated together and that weird thing they do where they vomit and re-chew their food really grossed me out.

Man, the poo poo I saw... I served as a mechapilot, scouting for some Academia regiment. I couldn't wrap my head around a word they said, but they were a lot more amiable than my previous assignment with the Man-Raptors. Dunno why they needed me when they had kids chantin' up fire, but I guess inch thick Honeycomb steel beats robes for hidin' behind. I remember a routine patrol in mandroid turf before they started using their Neggling guns on me, lost half my drat systems in a heartbeat. My comms were shot and I was deep in the poo poo, I had to eject and survive in the wastelands of Toronto for three weeks, hiding with a sympathetic fembot before they found my distress beacon. I was told some of our brightest were lost when the Mandroids found our camp... It haunts me to this day that I wasn't able to tell 'em... *pounds back a jug of rubbing alcohol*

I think it was bc of the negacores some grunts would keep as trophies. General warned 'em... Mandroids can just sense it.

I would be lying if I said I didn't experience some twisted glee when the newbies caught sight of the Manraptors. Still haven't found anything else that inspires a healthy fear of war. Except for seeing the people you killed, of course.
