Matthew firms his race against his rival, then defiantly grins at him.
"Indeed! Clan Wolf and Jade Falcon have their own Loremasters! It is the place of these revered leaders to keep us on the path the Great Father and Founder set forth for us! To keep preserved the wisdom and insight of our ancestors! To pay memorial to great heroes: those of our own Clan and those of others lands and places!
Matthew raises forth a drama hand.
"You speak as if I trespass on the role of the Loremasters of Clan Wolf and Falcon, Star Captain Resnick! This is not so! For me to trespass on the work of the Loremasters would be to suggest verses for the Remembrance in competition with their own! This is not so, for where are the verses of these Loremasters revering the Getter Team?"
He meets the eyes of Resnick and a few others in the room.
"When Tyra Miraborg "chose to die/and sent her fighter like a spear/through the Dire Wolf", claiming the life of IlKhan Showers and halting our invasion, her bravery was praised by all Loremasters of the invading Clans! Why then has there been no effort already to memorialize in verse the heroes of the Getter, who saved sacred Terra itself?"
He stretches out his hands in a beckoning gesture.
"Star Captain Resnick speaks of waste, of time frivolously spent. Then I shall be brief. There has been much time wasted already! I see us of the Clans hesitating in this matter like old merchants sorting through produce! When the war council of my former Clan Jade Falcon hesitated to advance on Robyn's Crossing on Tukayyid, it was Star Colonel Aidan Pryde who bid first for the right to take both bridges, shaming his comrades into action with he and his unit's dezgra status!"
He folds his arms behind his back.
"I am Mechwarrior Matthew of Clan Gurren Brigade, the tiniest and newest of the Clans. I have no bloodname, no high rank, and am hardly qualified to act as a Loremaster, as Star Captain Resnick accurately states!"
He juts his chin forward.
"I bid my Clan for the right to commit the exploits of the Getter Team to the Remembrance!"
He casts his glance around. "Now step up, warriors, Loremasters, workers of prose! If my verses are unpleasing, and my status offensive, then do better! Record the deeds of the Getter team in the Remembrance, or stand aside and let Clan Gurren Brigade do what should have been done already!"

Boom, y'all.
