LOADING TRANSCRIPT . . . . . . . . .
NARRATION SUBTITLES BY ENG SSGT Mole (Rough please tell Skewer to promote me)
0:01 - 0:07 - Skewer puts the recording device into place to properly record who he is interrogating today, (ARC-6503) Senior Commander Rough who spends the first 20 seconds in silence.
0:24 - Skewer lets out probably the most inconvenient sigh of all time.
0:28 - Skewer begins speaking
Skewer: Alright... Rough do you know why you're here?


Rough: ........ Yup.

Skewer: Care to elaborate?

Rough: Nnnn.... Could you elaborate?

0:40 - Skewer lets out another sigh

Skewer: Rough, just be honest with me man, what the fuck happened?

Rough: ..... Really Skewer?

Skewer: Really Rough. It's best if you're just honest with us.

Rough: Well...Wouldn't really say I'm too proud of the first mission I've advised y'know..... I
thought I was doing a good job with the field marshalling, but I don't know, it's just different when you're not on the field.

Skewer: Rough, you're getting into some emotional shit right now and to save us both time don't get into that, start from the beginning of the mission and go from there.

Rough: Ok.. So we deployed under the city and just started waiting around and then we just started waiting y'know just waiting for the CIS to do something. Then I just got impatient said eh why not just get this over with so I called the troops topside so that they could properly prepare get their ordinance before the CIS started attacking. Knew the troopers were going to be in a hell hole anyway so I might as well just throw them into it then they jammed our comms for a little bit. Then once the troops fixed that for me, it was... smooth sailing from there.

Skewer: I wouldn't call it smooth sailing. That's not a word you wanna use as a mission advisor when describing a battle like that.

Rough: Really?

Skewer: Rough, you got a lot to learn as a mission advisor..... Not every mission's going to be this terrible spectacle, you know you really put on quite the spectacle Rough. There was so much lost on both sides it was really hard to discern if there was really a win at all for either side. It was a step in a better direction for us but it's definitely not something we want to repeat. If you catch what I'm saying.... Rough what I'm trying to get into you is that assault is not something the troopers should be experiencing day in and day out or easy for a trooper to take on mentally. And what are you doing during the mission?

Rough: Uhh..

Skewer: You're basically, Rough I'm gonna cut you off because I don't want you thinking too hard I know it's going to take you a while.. Rough you're going to annoy the shit out of the troopers. Did you know how the troopers felt towards you at the end of that mission? They all wanted to shoot your ass the first second they got back on that ship.

Rough: Why?

Skewer: Because you're annoying Rough, you have to get your shit together if you want to stay in this position.

4:12 - 4:26 - Silence, swear I heard some crickets but not gonna guarantee the presence of those.

Skewer: Now, regarding how the mission went. I think it's best if I address the elephant from the situation which was the hospital. Uhh you nuked it as of result of, the notes say a MOAB being called in. How the fuck did you? How did you get access to this?

Rough: Uhmmm.... Uhh turns out it was one of my Second Lieutenants, he uh acquired it on one of the missions he's running in his campaign.

Skewer: So you just had a nuke lying around and you decided to just use it?

Rough: Well it wasn't a nuke it's a

Skewer: ROUGH YOU NUKED HALF OF THAT CITY! HALF OF THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE IS GONE THE ENTIRE REASON WE ENLISTED YOU TO COME PROTECT THIS BIG OL CITY THAT'S PRODUCING STUFF JUST FOR YOU TO BLOW IT UP! GOD DAMMIT ROUGH!

Rough: I'm sorry Skewer....

Skewer: Don't be sorry..... Back to the hospital, I think it's best I bring Sigil in to explain this.

Rough: What?

Skewer: Alrighty..

5:50 - Door opens in enters (CT-6021) 2LT Sigil please be aware any typos are manifested from his mouth.

Skewer: Alrighty sit down you bastard.

Sigil: Ugchh.. I fucking hate this...

Skewer: Welp tell him what you did you fucking idiot . . . .…. Now!

Sigil: Ah fuck.. fiene. Uhhhh I lied about the objective there was no hospital it was a
warehouse... Filled with droids.. Nothing of worth really.... Just uhhh better for the droids to not have it than to have it. So that's why it was an objective in the first place.

Rough: .......... So no orphans?

Sigil: Technically orphans if you think about it. No parents... just... manufactured.... kind of like us....

Skewer: I didn't bring you here to get into your philosophical shit Sigil, so basically the gist of the story is Rough there's nothing to worry about. The casualty report on the other hand that's going to take a bit of PR. So that's why...... I'm going to keep you with Ryloth.

Rough: WHAT?!

Sigil: Arre you fucking serious?

Skewer: Yes I think it's a great idea. Basically if Rough can redeem himself in the eyes of the citizens of Ryloth then it will be.. smooth sailing from there.

Rough: So you want me to uhh? Try and make a face turn against these civilians, because I nuked half their city? Want me to redeem myself be like "oh I was justified and shi-"

Skewer: Yes!

Rough: Why? Why can't you just find another clone?

Skewer: Because Rough, it shows that clones aren't like droids, y'know Sigil over here he's stuck in this little philosophical loophole on what's the difference between clones and droids and I keep telling him. We're not droids , we're not like droids we're just manufactured like droids. Doesn't mean we are droids....... Or are we?

Sigil: Yeah see Commander now you're starting to think about it you're starting to see what I'm thinking...

Skewer: Alrighty, alrighty, I think we got the point here. Rough I already did too much paperwork getting your ass out of this dumb situation, so I feel like you need to gooo and talk to your men... NOW GET OFF MY SHIP!

Rough: Ahh alright, cya Skewer.

8:51 - Transmission End
