yeah. they picked up a lot of people from the Survey Corps.
[Friends, comrades, superiors. (Family, too.) Maybe because they're military already, because they're useful, or easy to recruit. Either way, there's more of them here from their world than most. (Maybe it's just easier to keep them in line with the leverage.)]
FROM: jaeger.eren@cdc.org
five of us, three of our commanding officers.
[More than that, but Reiner and Annie can't really factor in as friends or allies anymore. (and Bertolt and Sasha and Isabel aren't here anymore.)]
[She's not sure whether or not it's a good thing. Even though it's awfully lonely without her loved ones, she's glad that they're back home, relatively safe and around to help with the crisis going on back there. The crisis she should be taking care of.]
FROM:korra@cdc.org survey corps?
[Now that's a new word, but given his fancy equipment she saw earlier, it's not too surprising that he's part of some sort of organization.]
FROM:korra@cdc.org is that like the police?
[He seems a little young for a police officer, but maybe it's like her world's version of the metalbending police force.]
[Sort of. Not really. The police are also a branch of the military where he comes from, but the purpose of the branch is entirely different.]
FROM: jaeger.eren@cdc.org
we're soldiers.
[He's probably sort of young for a solider, too. But it's normal, where he comes from.
And he's the first to sing the praises of the Survey Corps, but it takes him a few seconds to try to phrase it in an easy-to-grasp way. He knows, by now, that the situation back home is not a common one. Most people don't know what a titan is at all.]
FROM: jaeger.eren@cdc.org
we're not the police. the MPs are stationed in the interior. the corps are the only ones who lead expeditions into titan territory. to find ways to fight back.
[Wow, a.... lot of that went over Korra's head. Interior? MP? Expeditions? He does seem young for a soldier too, though he obviously has the skills. One word does stand out to her though,]
FROM:korra@cdc.org those titans are from your world?
[No wonder he knew how to take them down. She just thought it was from being stuck with the CDC for months.]

they're different from the ones on that mission. they're just as dangerous. they're humanity's greatest predators.
[Predators as in "they hunt and eat humans," yes. And even if he knows it to be true, putting it that way puts a sour taste in his mouth. So.]

we're fighting back.
[Without the giant robots, it's a bit harder to wrap up the whole war in a day.]
