Ref — briefing

Glad you came by. I wanted to talk to you about something. We've got a fuck ton of new recruits. New blood is the key to exciting fights, you see. We need to keep things moving, otherwise we can't keep the audience for long. Well, you already know that, we've been over this. So, to the point. The newbies aren't experienced, but they're arrogant as hell. Show them what a real hardened fighter's capable of. I hear the new blood are already fantasizing about overthrowing the current Arena champions. They've got their sights set on you. And you know the best way to avoid trouble in the Arena is to shoot first.
