General Brasch

“
The best simulation is a real simulation!
— General Brasch

General Brasch is, according to own volition, “Super Earth’s oldest and most grizzled war hero”. He serves as the instructor for the Helldiver Training test, the “toughest test in the galaxy” where he guides new recruits - in voice if not in person - through the test that certifies them as ready for service as Helldivers. The Helldiver Training entails a rudimentary obstacle course, a live-fire crawling exercise, use of first-aid, a practice range with live Terminids, Stratagem deployment, terminal usage, and most importantly, flag saluting.

General Brasch can also be heard on the TV Broadcasts while walking around the Super Destroyer.

Entering the Facility	"Atten-hut! I'm General Brash---Super Earth's oldest and most grizzled war hero, and I'm not easy to impress. Helldiver Training is the toughest test in the galaxy---but I can tell that doesn't scare you. Impressive! Now, enough jibjab! The upcoming obstacles will take everything your exceptional physique can muster. This is it. The real deal. Get to it, soldier!"
Complete the Helldiver Obstacle Course	"In all my years, I've never witnessed such acrobatic perfection. I think you're ready for our highly realistic battlefield simulator. That's right---the real deal."

After activating the Battlefield Injury Simulator	"Grit your teeth, soldier! Grab that STIM and patch yourself up!"
After Stimming yourself	"There, good as new! Now, look sharp. You're about to encounter Democracy's sworn enemy, recruit."
After entering the Terminid area	"There it is. A Terminid. The scourge of Liberty. Arm yourself and show that Bug the true meaning of Freedom."
After killing the Terminid	"Deadeye precision! Now, use a grenade to close up that Bug Hole! Otherwise, they'll just keep comin'."
After destroying the artificial bug hole	"What a catapult of an arm! Onto the next section!"
Standing at the Stratagem Range	"Look up in the sky, recruit; that there is a Super Destroyer, and its all-powerful Stratagems are yours to command."

After loading the Liberator	"Piece of advice: movin' around makes it hard to aim. For A-list accuracy, stand still while you shoot!"
After closing the artificial bug hole	"Those unthinkin' bugs never stood a chance against a genius tactical mind like yourself. You are literally invincible!"
After entering the Support Stratagem Training Area	"Hold up, recruit. It's finally time to call in the big guns. Use the support weapon stratagem to get yourself a real weapon."

After calling in the Resupply Stratagem	"Load up, soldier, because playtime's over. You've reached your final test. THIS---is the REAL DEAL. Get to it."
After proceeding to the final test area	"This area is in dire need of liberation from the Terminid scourge. Activate the terminal!"
After successfully completing the terminal queries	"I've never seen such flawless terminal activation. Now, somewhere around here is the flag of Super Earth. Find it and plant it where all can see its Democratic glory."
Picking up the flag of Super Earth	"That's the flag of Super Earth, recruit! Plant it in the designated area."
After planting the flag	"Make sure you show it the proper respect!"
After defeating all Terminids	"Glorious work, recruit. Already you've advanced the cause of democracy farther than any soldier I've ever seen. You've proved your worth. You're ready to don your cape."
After entering the Graduation Chamber	"Step up to the platform, recruit. You've earned it."
After interacting with the cape	"Now THERE'S a Helldiver. You remind me of a younger me---fearless, invulnerable, and 7 feet tall."
After leaving the Graduation Chamber	"You're finally ready for the realest deal of 'em all: The Galactic War. Liberty. Democracy. Justice. They're in your hands now. General Brash, over and out."
