This is interview one with [Translation: Small Group Commander] Dallag Floda, Protian Invasion Fleet, veteran of the Battle of Terra. [Small Group Commander], we see here you were an operator of a ttimhcd-ressem landing craft, but other records show that you saw ground combat during the later stages of the battle.
> Yes, I flew a TR-626. I landed in the first assault wave. At that time I was just a [small group sub-commander], under Dumila Novgorb. My [small group] landed in the region of Terra known as Flanders, near the town of Yee-Pray. I later was involved in landing reinforcements near Cheyenne Mountain, Volgograd, Baltimore, and several other high-priority combat zones.
How was it you were saw combat on the ground?
> My 626 was badly damaged during a resupply run to forces fighting in Pennsylvania, near the city of Filly-Del-Fia. I was quickly field-promoted to [small group leader] and thrown into combat, and transport units were being picked off, and they needed ground forces worse than they needed operators.
Our sources say that the combat in that continental region was heavier than any expectations previously showed. Do you have any comments on that?
> Your sources are correct. In that region, there were no civilians. No collaborators. Every one of them fought back. And they all were armed, even if the weapons they had were improvisations or woefully out of date.
> When I was a pilot, I saw craft of all sort used to interdict us. Modern atmosphere-capable craft flew alongside rotating foil craft with pusher engines. As a footman I saw vehicles of all kinds. Old rhomboid armored ones, with tracks rotating the entire craft. Civilian vehicles with automatics welded to them for hit and run craft. Vehicles of every sort driven into our positions carrying a mass of explosives, detonated while the operator was still in the vehicle!
>They fought us at every step. Landing grounds. Beaches. Fields. Hills. Streets. Every step, a landmine. Every turn, an automatic waiting for us to enter sight.
> During my time as a prisoner, before the treaty was signed, I remember reading on Terran history. I don't think this sort of fighting is unusual. And I also believe, should we have managed to somehow defeat them here, that we would've ended the war.
Why do you believe that?
> "We Shall Never, Surrender. And if this Island were subjugated or starving, t

... and were they consciously, overtly anti-intellectual (as seems common in modern 'populist' movements) or was this just a by-product of their other beliefs/an anachronism?
Recall Seahawks last season, @Broncos the season before, et. al.I believe this team will bounce back in a big way. We were embarrassed nationally at home in our shitty stadium, overrun by Pittsburgh roaches coming out of the cracks. Now we're about to suit up in Lambeau, home of (arguably) the most adored and toughest team in the league. If ever there was an opportunity for a statement game this is it.

On screen, Premiere Mendez steps up to the podium and the camera zooms in; the crowd of press and delegates in front of him are lost from view. He looks into the camera with those same hardened eyes that won him the chair, and he says, “I’ve recently become a very busy man, so for the purposes of brevity allow me to be very explicit.
“What happened to the first contact crew is the first great test of the commonwealth we have encountered. And while that tragedy should not be made light of, we do every one of us a disservice if we assume it will be the last, greatest, or anything other than merely the first of many.
“While much about the alien vessel that destroyed our first contact fleet remains unknown, there is one thing we do know, now beyond the shadow of a doubt:
“Whoever they are, they are hostile.”
Mendez pauses, then leans forward and puts both hands on the podium. The effect makes him seem easily a hundred times stronger. Immovable. Uncompromising. That, too, won him the chair.
“Sentients of the commonwealth, we are at war. I understand many of you are afraid. Many are grieving, and many are worried. We are all of us unsure if this commonwealth of ours can weather the storm that now breaks upon us.
“Our fleet was caught off-guard and destroyed, utterly and completely. Nothing now can change that, but let me be abundantly clear about something:
“What happened to the first contact fleet will not happen again.
“This is neither a promise nor an oath, it is simply the truth. We will go to war with these unknown aggressors and we will win because we are stronger than we once were. We are unified, organized, greater than the sum of our parts. The commonwealth will not fall. It will not bend. I make you a promise now not as the premiere, but as a human, that even if we find ourselves alone in this fight, we will not back down and we will not give in and we will not stop, because that is our way.
“And if any of you doubt our resolve, I urge you to search unto the farthest reaches of the galaxy. And if, in your travels, on the one in eighteen-billionth chance you should so happen to be lucky enough to find a surviving Pymaras,”
Where the Premiere’s voice has just been full of passion, now it goes dead and quiet, barely carrying to the mic in front of him, yet fully audible and clear. And holding the entire weight of humanity’s fury behind it:

So picture this, it's probably around 4 to 7 hours into my first playthrough of the game (just got it yesterday) and I accept a mission from Lorelei where I have to get coffee or some from this robot hipster barista thing. (I'm bad at remembering specific things.) Seems easy enough right? Well, not really. Since the events that followed were pretty much an amalgamation of all the things I suck at in Borderlands 3. Let me explain...
To really understand why this mission was such a tedious bitch, we first have to know the three things that always gets my ass kicked in the game-
- Running out of ammo 90% of the time.
- Not having enough money to restore ammo. (It happens to me in a lot of games tbh.)
- Having a really bad sense of the various items and the map in general, causing me to get lost a lot and be shit at looting. (Which is why I hate Sanctuary, and normally go Cooperative.)
What this essentially means is that I normally play a lot of the game while running out of ammo, since my play style mostly consists of hiding behind a shield with any kind of sniper rifle when trying to trim down the amount of enemies in a single area, then just going in guns blazing when there are less people around. (Zane is a snacc, I'll fight you for him.)
The mission starts with you heading to this coffee shop and having to get this power core from this fuck called Core Daddy. The actual fight wasn't that hard, which was achieved by keeping my distance with my shots while also making sure to position my shields correctly for that increased gun damage. What I didn't realize is that I pretty much dumped around 70% of my ammo on this guy, and there was still about 3/4ths of the mission to go. After bringing the power core back to the coffee shop, you're tasked with getting a mug or some shit from this commander in an area right in front of the coffee shop. It really did a number on the amount of bullets I had left, even if I did save a lot of it for Coffee Runner when he came out. By the time I got the mug, I only had enough ammo for the sniper rifle I had. I actually relaxed at this point in the mission since I thought all I had to do at this point was bring the coffee back to Lorelei, until I turned around to find a heavy gunner and around 10 different guys wanting to fuck my ass right behind him.
Multiple reasons why this is bad and I'm absolutely fucked:
- No ammo except for sniper since I used up all the shit for my automatic weapons on Core Daddy
