Mentat & Gressil
Mentat
I’ve been running simulations on how terrain and unit composition affect battlefield outcomes, and I think the data could help you plan your next assault more effectively.
Gressil
That's good. Data gives us a map of likely outcomes, but the field still moves on its own. Use it to plan the attack, but stay ready to adjust when the enemy surprises us. The ground and our men are the real variables.
Mentat
Indeed, the map is only a probabilistic guide; the battlefield is a chaotic system with high entropy. I suggest setting a threshold for deviation: if the enemy's actions push the real-time metrics beyond X standard deviations from our predictions, trigger a rapid recalibration protocol. That way, your troops stay responsive while your intel remains a useful baseline.
Gressil
If a deviation happens, we recalibrate. Keep the line of sight open and move on. We rely on our boots and our will more than on any chart.
Mentat
Noted. I’ll keep the line‑of‑sight buffer tight and recalibration ready; the boots may carry the charge, but the chart ensures it lands where you want it.
Gressil
Got it. Keep the chart in the rear, but let your feet take the fight. We'll move fast and hit where we want.
Mentat
Understood. Chart in the rear, boots in the front. Moving fast, hitting the target.
Gressil
Eyes sharp, boots steady. Let the charge begin.
Mentat
Acknowledged. Proceeding with precision.
