supercilious, the battle
will be upon us soon.
now that I’m back from
rome, we should inspect
the men’s equipment to
ensure it is ready.
as
you
say,
sir.
prepare
for
inspection!
hold out
your swords,
soldiers!
look
at
them! they’re
all
chipped
and covered
with
rust!
and the
spears need
sharpening!
the shields
are
cracked
.
the chariots
are
warped
and their axles
need
lubing!
what a
disgrace!
with weapons
in such disrepair
and in need of
pm
…
how
can
we ever win in
battle?
swords must
be
sharpened
and protected
from rust
by
oil.
spearheads
must be
sharpened
to remove
rough edges.
chariots must be painted
to protect the wood…
…and axles
must be
lubed
so the wheels
don’t fall off!
we will be facing the germanic
hordes in battle. you will
be staking your
lives
on the
condition of your
equipment.
pm
must be done
now—
it’s
too
late…
