An old report, a prelude of things to come

===================================================
A Report to the Pack, dated 12/07
===================================================
Alpha, Beta, Leaders, Omega

I can't make tha meetin., time zones and tha like, but i wanted ta let ya all know how i felt, fer better er worse. I've attached some files both of logs i've recorded, bein a Scout, through and through, but also of some of tha key aspects of what being in tha Pack means ta me

we got serious cohesion problems with tha Pack, ya all know that. and i'm bloody relieved that we're finally doin somethin about it.

over tha last few months we've had all kinds of troubles, both with tha Shadows, and with our own. We've had our leaders leavin, gettin possessed, goin crazy, leavin randomly and leadin us all into tha mouth of tha Abyss.

We had brutality and a reign of sullen terror. This wasn't tha way of tha wild, not of nature. This wasn't tha way any pack of wild street dogs would behave, let alone an outfit with a history and tradition like tha Pack that -i- came ta Toxi City ta find.

We lost that nobility fer a long while, and tha respect of our allies and our foes alike.

Havin folks comin and goin from tha Pack as they saw fit, and tha roles of Leaders, and tha Ranked, choppin and changin every which way, well, it weakens us all. Tha damn Shadows got ta laugh at us "your leadership is like a revolving door" i heard one say. That hurt, and i was ashamed.

We've had strange Were's come into tha city, two tight Packs worth, and they saw what a shambles we were in, and they sneered. Fer one, i tried as best i could ta keep us together, keep some unity, and give a little guidance ta both tha rank 'n' file, and ta tha Ranked, and my Leader mates.

I like ta think that tha trust put in me wasn't misplaced, and that what what i done made a difference, and kept tha Pack a little safer than it woulda, otherwise. But.

I'm just a Leader, it's not my place ta make policy, but ta enforce it. Enforce it where my heart lets me, i know tha difference, any of ya who've gotten ta know me may know my history, and why i'm here in Tox, and not back in tha 7RAR-L.

We need ta keep tha Pack together, strong like a Pack should be, we ain't an iron fist, we're Family. We ain't a battle hard fightin force out fer blood and glory, we're a Pack. We fight ta keep what we need, what we deserve. We need ta be able ta trust in our Leadership, and in our Packmates. Trust that we always got each others Six

Trust that no one is gonna stab ya in tha back, or sic their pet on ya if ya disagree with them. Trust that ya ain't gonna be raped. Trust ya ain't gonna get made someone's slave. Trust.

Trust that even if we might come ta blows, might get inta a bloody mess, trust that whilst ya might hate each other, ya'll never TURN on each other. Trust in tha PACK.

Thats all i gotta say. We need that trust, in each other, and in all our leaders.

Without it, we're nothin better than a bunch of rabid dogs runnin fer scraps in this town. Nothin better than tha damn Shadows.

and even THEY look after their own.
