Okay, so I know I don't need to ask who heard Parrotmon pulling a load of crap out of his tailfeathers, considering he wanted to be sure everyone heard it. Makes Lord Edd look modest.

I've been talking to Commander Cruger for a while now about doing something to revamp the Squad. We were awesome for a while, and then we just kinda...fell apart. We all had our own things to concentrate on, and I didn't push for much of anything. I let it slide, and I'm sorry. And seeing Parrotmon shit all over us like this, practically trying to incite another riot against DATS this time? I know we need to fix things. We need to be ready for when things go south, and we have to know that we're one day going to have to go toe-to-toe with Parrotmon and Ravemon themselves.

Unfortunately, we've got a big problem with that. A few of you are with DATS. And some of you with DATS have Swords. With the Hinata Inn evictions already, he's calling you guys out. Ravemon's just looking for a reason to attack Royal Base, no matter how stupid he'll make himself look to the other Area Leaders in the process. You know there's a war coming sooner or later, and I don't want these guys to use anything else they can against DATS to spark it.

So that's why I have to ask those of you in DATS, primary or secondary, to leave the Squad. Rose, Trip, I need you guys to give up your Suicide Swords. It's just too dangerous leaving DATS attached to this organization.

I can't do any active recruiting right now, but those of us still in the Squad will have to exploit our connections. I'll be working with the Rangers, now that Cruger's trying to set up a headquarters for the Tetha-based group. It might be a good idea if we keep that as a permanent home, now that I think about it. And to ensure that we're basically discredited as much as possible in the eyes of the law here, I'm hoping Jack Sparrow will let us fly under his banner--though more on the pirate angle than BPE.

I'm sorry, guys, but this is the way it's got to be.
