“Anyone who goes on the field in less than a mint condition in a war situation is offering their teammates up for slaughter. One mistake and the enemy cuts through our ranks,” the team captain instructed.
“The last time this was not adhered to, the Alpha almost lost his life defending the team members. Do you want to be the guy the Alpha has to rescue when he ordered you to sleep to be ready for battle?”
