Your former loyalties are null and void. Whether you are stravag who have been taken as isorla and have earned the right of abtakha, or are descended from the Star League and your bloodheritage pure; the Wolf's Dragoons are not just another mercenary company. Operation Revival may be folly, to be sure, but we will remain true to the ideals of our genemothers and carry the torch of our traditions proudly. Perhaps Jamie Wolf is happy to hide behind the mask of nothing but another dezgra mercenary group, but the Devil Dogs will stand proud for who we are. We will not be ashamed of our birthright and will not be tainted by the stravag ways of those greedy and vain 'nobles' who claim their very existance gives them the right to define honor. While it is little wonder the 'great houses' rely upon mercenaries to justify their claims, there is certainly no greater opportunity to prove the Clan way is superior. We warriors would not be who we are if not for the sacrifices of our ancestors and our kin, and it is our solemn duty to prove time and again that we are superior to anything this decadent society can throw at us. We have fought for too long estranged from our sibkin, and are looked down upon by those very people who sent us here in 3004 to do our mission. But our ranks are strong, and those who truly wish to prove themselves in real war continue to filter in from our homeworlds and fight their way through the ranks of the lower castes to stand as trothkin, by our side. When our codexes are returned to the councils for review, we will prove to them that their beliefs are not only wrong about us as individuals, but will prove that the Clan ways can exist surrounded on all sides by the filthy and ignorant. The Devil Dogs will shame all those who see us as dishonorable or lesser, and bring pride to our ancestors who watch over us. Let our service bring them peace, for we are nothing without their sacrifice. Seyla?
