"Each of us brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table," I began, my voice steady in the quiet night.
"In the days ahead, our survival won't just depend on our ability to fight but on how well we can adapt, learn, and leverage our strengths."
I turned to Gerry first, whose past life as an antique dealer belied a keen eye for detail and a wealth of historical knowledge.
"Gerry, your understanding of historical fortifications, coupled with the combat training you've embraced, positions you perfectly to guide us in developing effective defence strategies."
