Thread: Chains Of Command [DamonHuntington x MasochisticHeartx]

td The anger simmered and boiled inside Jedrek's body, to the point that he was completely taken by ire. That was the time his tone of voice dropped lower, to a normal volume, preluding that something was very, very wrong. His speech was not brash and screamed at the top of the lungs, as it usually was, but calm and deep like the sky right before a storm the way he spoke felt sadistic and ominous like the dangerous depth of the oceans. You seem to think that everything is about you, don't you, Private Ryker? I have very much noticed everything that happened, but I stand by everything that was spoken until now. You seem rather intent on shredding your own reputation in front of our friends, and I won't be the one to hold your hand right in front of your brothers-in-arms. If you want to know that much on how you failed, I shall describe it in-depth , the threatening voice spoke without raising its tone or inflexion, even going so far as to giving a smirk while the General spoke. You failed because you could not work with the tools provided to you. You were not strong enough to brave the circuit on your own, regardless of your teammates' actions. You were not smart enough to use their desires to your favour. You were not diplomatic enough to be able to strike an alliance with them during this task. You were not perceptive enough to see what kind of behaviour motivated your colleagues in order to make this knowledge your weapon. You were not resolute enough to use whatever means necessary to finish the task. You were not enough of a leader to command them. You were not cunning enough to pretend being under their command so you'd all complete the task , Jedrek began to rant, giving a single step forward into Leroy's personal space. There is more. You were not willing to make sacrifices - if you knew they were dragging you down, why did you not pay them with the same coin? You were not willing to distance yourself from a lost cause, which is how many soldiers die in action. You were spineless and never stood up for yourself until you were confronted by me. You were limited in your ability to see and thought the course only tested a few abilities you missed the big picture, you couldn't see beneath the first answer that crossed your mind. You are idealistic and think the world is fair, and you get down on your knees for that stupid belief of yours. Newsflash - war is Hell. Don't expect your enemies to play nice, and don't expect things to be just. You're the kind of soldier that would die just to drag a dead body back, you're the kind of soldier that would die while trying to bite more than you can chew, you're the kind of soldier that would die because of a stupid trap you fell into. Dead, dead, dead , the Commander said as he shoved his index finger against Leroy's chest. But he was far from done. The truth was that you were given a test and you failed, and to make things worse you hadn't even noticed that you failed until this very moment. You prefer to cry than to own your mistakes saying that everything is unfair seems to be your to-go weapon rather than finding a solution to turn a loss into a victory. You did nothing, Private Ryker. You accepted your destiny when you saw what was happening and chose the path of inaction. Every group here had a weak point - some were composed of the physically weakest soldiers, some were composed of highly-distracted individuals - and your group had the weakness of selfishness. You seem to think everything's about you, to the point that you cannot look past your own universe. It's always about how you're going to prove yourself, how you'll show others that you are better than anyone, when in reality your hubris clouds your mind and disallows you to see who you truly are. Now, are you going to give more excuses, or are you ready to man up and admit that you screwed up and that you're the exact kind of soldier I described previously? Say that you are a failure in front of everyone here, and begin to grow rather than giving justifications , Jedrek demanded with a twisted grin. We also have to deal with your insubordination right now. My Quarters, one hour from now , came the final command from the mouth of the General. tdtd td
