Well friend, I sort've expected you sooner and the situation has turned grim. All sides are accosted by angry and revenge seeking vegans, Christians, politicians, wiccans, members of the troll anti-defamation league, and, of course, Vermont dairy farmers. We held them off thanks to the confused and half-hearted self sacrifice of our number who had failed to grasp what was going on, making them perfect candidates for the front line.
So while your timing isn't perfect, frankly my lad I thank Eris you've arrived. Now let me know when the rest of your battalion is due and we can figure out how best to accommodate them.
