In midst of production of both my Tankmen webseries and its pilot, I will be giving each military base official names to make life easier. I am naming them after the Syriac alphabet because I am basing the culture of off middle eastern and South American culture….

So, here are the names:

Gamal

The home base of Captain John, Steve, Ted, Lieutenant, Sargaent, Colonial (I swear the speaker Tankman on the speaker with the Steve goggles is the colonial, especially since he was legit barking at John in an artwork and the fact John gets mad at Steve for losing the tank, maybe he was mad because he fears the Colonial, being his superior, maybe if he loses the tank and it’s Steve’s fault, John receives the punishment while Steve gets off scot-free. John just fears the wrath of his superior when there’s a screw up (I imagine colonial has very high standards for those beneath him and those who break his rules get harshly punished)), Bill, and others.

Dalat

The home base of Commander (I will give him a real name in my webseries, it’s Frost), Tim, Skittles, and Honey (my fan name for the expectant mother in Tankmen Infinity, Commander has a heart if he’s going to let a pregnant mom serve in his army).

What separates Gamal and Dalat are the hemispheres, Gamal is on the northern hemisphere of Mars while Dalat is on the southern hemisphere of Mars. For reference, here’s a real photo of Mars with the equatorial line.

And this further proves my theory because Skittles was near water while John and Steve were in the middle of the desert, like the Southern Hemisphere clearly has water.

This is sci-fi so rl rules go out the door.

Dang, makes me wonder, does Dalat get beach duty? I imagine it’s their equivalent to Gamal’s graveyard duty.

While John and Steve suffer from dehydration and water intoxication (yep, Steve is dehydrated while John acts on his polydipsia (that’s actually the drinking equivalent to binge eating disorder) and drinks all the water they packed in one sitting, leaving Steve with nothing and possibly getting incredibly angry with his best friend later on while John is vomiting and peeing like crazy (that is water intoxication does to you), but for John, it’s normal because it happens whenever he goes shopping or goes on day or more long missions (he always gets water intoxication) (he always has to have someone hide the drinks he buys/packs, whether it’s Steve or their narcoleptic tank-mate, Matt (I am convinced this is canon, I think the reason why we never see him is that he’s sleeping inside the tank, like, he looks like he just woke up here and Matt is my fan name for him, in my webseries, he’ll be Bill’s older brother and he helps raise his nephew, Baby Phil but given he randomly falls asleep a lot (narcolepsy) (John and Steve take over Matt when falls asleep again) he ends up living with John and Steve as he’s not safe to be alone)), Commander and Tim get to be on the beach.

Just sharing that I will be naming the Mars military bases in my webseries to separate them.
