DUST Search - Be the factor

Age, how can it be a weakness when it gives nothing but experience, because knowledge is power.
Pain, how can it be a weakness if it gives nothing but perspective, because motivation is power.
Loss, how can it make you hurt if you have nothing to lose, because attachment is a vulnerability.

My brothers and sisters. We cast aside these trivial weakness of mortals and replace them with strengths of our own. I stand before you not as better, not as a lesser, i am a factor. A factor of power, destruction and change.

Like death, the phoenix is eternal. Like my name, Darasuum, its meaning of forever changing. death is eternal, but never the same. When a phoenix dies, it is reborn from its own ashes. Death is a different path, one we will tred as death incarnate, as the Phoenix Federation.

There are those that usd their abilities as a means for their ego. But an ego is an ignorant lie. Ego is a weakness. Do not be weak my brothers and sisters. Be the factor, the factor of death, be the phoenix.

Death is still a part of our daily lives, and when you have died countless times, constantly waking up in a body that is not yours, things start getting a little blurry. You start to think: "Is this body mine? Am I the one pulling the trigger, moving the legs and speaking the words? What makes me, me when the body I was just in is nothing but a smoking corpse?". Battles are sometimes nothing but a blur of pain, blood and thumping. Sometimes when I walk in battle, I do not know if I'm going to turn right, left, or just stop and fall onto my knees. When I talk to my squadmates in battles, sometimes I feel like they do not make any sense at all, they're nothing but a series of words spouted out like a drone instructed to do what it is told. Death and pain might be irrelevant for you, but believe me, they are not. I have witnessed the effects of constant pain and death in myself, it is not pleasant.
