A few days ago, I ran a survey as a CWU along with Mr. Dr. Teeth Sex---my superior. It was conducted with a small crowd of mostly combine as well as a couple civilians. Throughout the survey, I managed to uncover an array of hidden opinions from the many strange and odd on goers passing by to answer the survey.

We generally asked:

"How do you feel about the Combine/Universal Union?"

"What do you think about the current overlook? (Dama & Blims)"

"What are your thoughts on the ration quality?"

And finally, “What are your thoughts on the 'recently' promoted MPF DvL Samantha?”

Most are decently satisfied with the faction as a whole but voice some concerns. One remarks, “Unironically, they are not in the ideal state right now. A lot of divisions or sub-divisions in general perform the best when it comes to their COs. However, a lot of MPF-- MPF Is really booming right now, but NPU isn’t doing the best […]” They showed concern over the fact that many members of the UU, especially that of NPU, are being purged for their “inactivity”. Another was rather gloomy about the force, retorting about how the food quantity hasn’t been enough to quell everyone’s hunger. 

Asking about Overlook, most people find themselves confused, wondering who exactly they are. Their names haven’t gained much reputation as of yet, or at least within this crowd, only knowing them by their rank instead of name. The few that did, however, were satisfied enough to accept them.

 This shows a lack of introduction when it comes to newer combines and some civilians. I’d like to see the Commander and Sectoral begin to take it upon themselves to host some sort of gathering, meeting, or whatnot to begin to set their names. Though, that’s just what I think.

The ration quality appears to be fine to all. Though due to a lack of flavor, some find it strange. Even one referring to it as, " ...chicken flavored," though, whether it was meant to be a compliment or complaint wasn't specified. Supply and demand issues when it comes to rations were also mentioned. When one needs it most: it usually isn't available, they said.

Though it may appear to be so, rations are constantly being made through the local nexus. Hopefully with the next batch they might extend their packages to also have a multitude of different flavors.

Finally, I asked about the ‘recent’ promotion of MPF DvL Samantha. Everyone was in agreement that it was a great promotion and choice. Being able to lead and to manage everything in MPF. “A wise choice in Succession,” said one of our interviewees.

I personally, have high hopes for what can be accomplished in MPF. Alongside a grander effort to improve upon their predecessor's work. Everyone is counting on them.

Overall, the satisfaction rate is rather mild this time around, though with some decent opinions. Beyond that, it is safe to say that the Universal Union will continue to hold strong and continue to improve for brighter future.
