Hi I’m Troy McClure Herr. You may remember me from such threads as, ‘Help My Father is a Synth’, and ‘ARES: The Silent Killer’. In all communities such as ours the only way to ward off the erosion of its Longevity is through innovation and creativity.
As this graph shows, the less a group engages in creative activities, the closer they come to TOTAL COLLAPSE. And the trend is IRREVERSIBLE.
Just ask this scientician and he’ll tell you invariably all communities require an amateur dramatics society to cultivate a healthy culture based on music, art, and comedic entertainment.
“Uhh?”
So, now you know. The best defense against the collapse of SS13-CM is artist expression. So go forth and create!
Here is my first contribution to our Cultural Revolution.
-The Greatest Captain of the Ma-rines Core-
My fellow Marines, good morning.
[Sir, good morning!]
I hear there’s foes to quell.
[To quell; our orders?]
My orders are to fix bayonet, and greet
the enemy at the fore.
[We’ll do you proud, sir!]
I’m the greatest Captain of the Ma-rines Core,
[And your record will stand as proof]
When I’m calling an OB
or overseeing a BE,
I always work with efficiency
[When he’s calling an OB
or overseeing a BE,
he always works with efficiency]
Though when drilling raw recruits,
I’ve them quaking in their boots,
it’s something of a specialty
I am never known to fail
when leading our detail,
and I never never stop for tea.
[What never?]
No never
[What never?]
Well… hardly ever!
[He hardly ever stops for tea]
[Give a gun salute
and one shot more
to the greatest Captain of the Ma-rines Core]
[Give a gun salute
and one shot more

I do my very best to uphold Ma-rines Law.
[And we’re very very glad you do]
I’m always ready to regale,
the Marines with a tale
to bolster their morale.
[He’s always ready to regale,
the Marines with a tale

I always push the advance,
never faltering in my stance
even when gassed by a Boiler-E;
though “fall back” I may
occasionally say,
I never never turn to flee.
[What never?]
No never.
[What never?]
Well… hardly ever!
[He hardly ever turns to flee!]

and one shot more
