-------- **PREFACE** --------
Allow me to explain in detail the series of events that brought us to this moment.
Let it be known that these facts represent the past, and that we are finally prepared to move forward.
After the attempted "assassination" of VeroukKavlar, our Advisor staff & Universal Union representatives scattered in disarray. Scrambling to find order in a mess of betrayal and conspiracy, we took the purging methods necessary to maintain the integrity of [CMB] The Combine.
In doing so, I have no doubt that there are those who hold resentment towards [CMB] for the manner of which we handled the situation. Nonetheless, it must be noted that severe measures including exiling many of the upper staff was, and still is, ABSOLUTELY necessary to maintain order in times of crisis.
With this said, I will say this to any veterans seeking refuge in CMB: If you can prove to us that you are trustworthy, committed, and honest in your intent, then you may join us. From there, you will be promoted on merit, NOT legacy. That means anything you have done for CMB in the past is void. If you accept that, and are still looking to rejoin the Combine, I welcome you. I also challenge you to work harder than you ever have before, for you will be closely monitored and have high expectations.
-------- **Z3R0** --------
It was under *extremely* careful consideration that Operation Z3R0 would go into effect. This meant that Operation Z3R0 was only to be acted on if it was 100% possible that it could succeed.
I am sure that many of you reading this can note my many subtle attempts at launching CMB under operation Phoenix, which would be the prelude to the Operation Z3R0 contingency I present before you today.
Without further explanation, I, VeroukKavlar, commence operation Z3R0: effective immediately!
When the perpetrators attempted to destroy me, they attempted to take something from us. They succeeded, momentarily, in taking something of value from me. They tried to take something from YOU, but I believe they had failed in that objective.
They expected us to simply roll over and stay dead. They have made it clear in doing so that they do not want to compete on our level, but rather take us down as simply as possible, and keep us there.
Quite frankly, they failed this objective LONG before they tried to destroy me. For CMB is not a snake, but a network. We are not a single entity waiting to have our head cut off, but a conglomerate of ideals and innovations waiting to take form!
THAT is what has made, still makes, and will always make CMB the most glorious Combine.
----------- **CLOSING** ##---------
I challenge everyone in [CMB] The Combine to do this one simple thing: Patrol.
If every active member would patrol City 17 for 30~ minutes a day, we would have no problem with activity. I will do my part to run advertisements and keep visitors showing up.
From this point on, Officers are going to be built. You will work for your chance to lead, and you will continue to work harder once you have obtained that opportunity. CMB doesn't just assemble great Officers: We create dedicated leaders who put the group before their personally title. We have had a long history of brilliant leaders, and I want to keep the tradition going.
It's about time to create a community we can be, and stay proud of. I implore you all to lend us your help in exchange for infinite glory.
Glory to the Combine! -VeroukKavlar, 2017 |

And so the irony continues to this day, with a deprecated corpse being the punchline.
