Memo received, Officer Torch, and this Sergeant will exercise great caution, especially considering the High Priest's earlier reference to an unfortunate accident.

While traveling the secret tunnels my uniform will include full body armor worn over heavy Frigia-style long underwear. Additionally, while crossing any light bridges I will wear a pair of Martian Batwings as well as a bungee cord.

Sergeant Tim...a few tips before retiring. That crafty High Priest can sometimes be vague, possibly owing to his frequent use of the sacred gong--so indeed, beware. Know that his remarks can often be subject to interpretation, and his facial expressions can be difficult to judge.

Tip du jour...if you wear full body armor as I do, it can be cumbersome/heavy in battle, overall, and can become noisy/sticky. I'd recommend an oil and grease job every 10 battles or 30 days whichever comes first. A thin coating of light oil on exterior is also beneficial in reducing corrosion, especially in damp/cold environments.

Be careful of falling. It can be tough to get up...you may recall difficulties I experienced while I was on the floor in the lab near Zarkov's invisibility machine when Gordon became visible again....so be careful.

Other tips...avoid Froot of the Doom brand underwear. It's finely woven steel wool, lined but quite uncomfortable. I'd avoid the light bridge entirely...the metal armor is heavy plus creates electrical eddy current problems which may collapse the bridge, and Martian wings cannot withstand the armor weight, nor bungee cords. Take the stairs if you choose full armor.
