It's probably from playing wayyyy too much of Mirror's Edge as a kid, but I always romanticized the idea of a courier.

Same! My favourite character in Last of the Mohicans was the courier dude they sent out to die 😂😂

I've always been a big fan of multi-classing

Logistics is just like playing Factorio, right?

Including the genocide part.

Old Roman armies had about a 4:1 support to infantry ratio. Today's military is thought to be up up at least 8:1.

I chose soup and phone

I'm a propagandist, by trade, and a spy by necessity.

That said, if you need a can of beans heated or someone 300 meters away or closer made less alive, I don't shy away from that either.

But I'm not a fast runner, so unless you give me wheels, I'm probably not your courier.

doesn't shy away from heating beans 😳

Planner and propagandist, most likely. The best propaganda is true.

Maybe fighter, if necessary. One of those abridged ASVAB tests for whatever they're worth (probably not much) suggested Intelligence, Special Forces, and something like Computer Systems. I am a software engineer by education but that's not my natural affinity insomuch as a means to an end. Always drawn to high level strategy games as well. Always enjoyed squad level tactics in paintball. Whether I'd be worth a damn in combat I hope I never find out. Maybe messenger, runner, scout? I'm a pretty good runner.

I seriously hope it doesn't come to this shit...

As a tall white guy who doesn’t like guns, spy/courier is probably the way for me.

Maybe smuggler, I can drive very normally.

Soup(ply) / planner / propaganda here.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Spy or messenger.
