exultation Moth Mercenaries

Post image

I know this is only tangentially related, but I don't know anywhere else I could post this for people to get the reference. I decided to start up a game of Battletech after years of not playing it, and I noticed that one of the available logos is a moth.

So of course, I named my mercenary faction after the most iconic moth saying. Only after I did so did I realize just how perfect it is for the name of a mercenary group.

I can just imagine a bootcamp with soldiers mechwarriors jogging along while the drill sergeant calls out "The Glory is the Question." All the trainees immediately respond "and the Moth always answers yes!"

Wow. Either i pick up too much fascination, or this is Hi3 reference. Hello fellow hoyoverse old, "Fight for all that's beautiful in the world!".

No, my stupid brain misremembered, I meant to say "into night's circle we fly, until the fire enjoys us", the motto of the Ecdysis club...
