commands2 02Nov15
Dismissed: When your character is dismissed by a ranking officer, that is
your character's cue to walk out of the room. Saying anything more than a
simple acknowledgement of the order ('Aye sir' or 'Yes sir') can be
considered insubordination. It effectively means: This conversation is over,
leave now. When said to a formation, it means break formation and you are
relieved of duties for the day.
Fall in: Assemble together in a formation and pay attention.
Fall out: Break formation and return to your duties.
Keep me informed: Go out of your way to give the ranking officer regular
status reports.

Report: This command is given by a ranking officer for a report on the

Status: When phrased as a question, it allows for a situational report with
your character's opinion attached.
