Honestly, you aren't too far off. Green's in charge of most patrols and escorts. If someone needs us, they'll call for us. It's first come, first serve, at worst.

And if you need anything, you can always give me a call, too.

is green the only team with protective gear?
no subject
From what I know? Yeah. Seems counterproductive to me, but their reasoning is that we're on the front lines.

Something like that. We're the guys who keep everyone safe. I guess you could also call us the muscle of the crew.

no offense but if they're the muscle team shouldn't they have actual muscle?

Are you referring to yourself?

you know you aren't exactly brick wall material yourself
