This is my plate. There are many like it, but this one is mine My plate is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my destiny. Without me, my plate is useless. Without my plate, I am useless. I must activate my plate true to order. I must stand on it better than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me off my plate. I will... My fireteam and I know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our supers, nor the orbs we make. We know that it is our plates that count. We will not fail... My plate is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its platforms, its activation area, its lights and its number. I will keep my plate clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My plate and I are the defenders of my planet. We are the masters of my enemy, Oryx. We are the saviors of my runner's life. So be it, until victory is Earth's and there is no darkness, but peace!
