cargojet: (Let's get political)

008 psa 8 or something - video

Welcome to the Tranquility.

I won't be the first or the last to say so. Now what you've no doubt already discovered is that this place is hardly tranquil. If you've read anonymous' message - as you should have - it's clear that we've all been going through a lot since we got here. I'll sum it up for you in case you're confused.

First of all there's Smiley, a semi-benevolent something that none of us have been able to track down who identifies himself by manner of his calling card, a red smile, and on occasion painted words left behind on walls. Irregardless of what people tell you, Smiley has yet to actually cause any of us harm.

Since my arrival here, six months ago now, we've experienced fear gas, a virus that struck down nearly everyone on board, stopping at an outpost where the occupants wanted nothing less than to brainwash all of us, and been immersed in a foglike spirit world eager to break us. Problems in engineering recently lead to the power going out and life support being dropped to minimum - if that happens again, people are expected to report to the Oxygen Gardens without delay, so I suggest you learn your way there.

This isn't a science fiction movie, so not everything here moves from one action or horror scene to another. You'll find that most of your existence here is just living, the same way it would be back at home, and that's probably the hardest thing; waiting for something to happen or not happen. It also means that we all of us depend explicitly on each other.

[ And now the more important part of his transmission, so pay attention. ]

To that end, please allow me to introduce you to a new concept.

Your Tranquility, Your Community

Outside of the volunteer crew - which I urge you to join if you have even the slightest skill or want to learn to do something useful with your time - we have a community that provides an extensive support structure. Everyone seems to be doing something to try and make life easier for everyone else, whether it's group cook-outs in the kitchens or offering to mend clothes or teach people to shoot. There's clubs to play games, chess, and routine meetings of survival training, space chapel--pretty sure there's even someone around here proposed weekly concerts, and we used to have a movie night, for God's sake. If that's gone underground, I wanna know about it.

Now I'm sure I'm not the only one on board who's tired of repeating these invitations. That's why in the interests of Your Tranquility, Your Community, I've put up an electronic pinboard for people to leave their own advertisements, put up sign ups, fliers for one day events, anything you like. If you've got a private job and you're looking for a specific skill, post it here. If you've got something you want to trade, if you run a club, if you're just looking for someone to talk to, this is your place for communicating it with the community without having to repeat yourself endlessly on the network.

You don't need my permission to use the pinboard, it's for the community to use as it will, and I hope you do.

Petrelli out.

[ Message end. ]

Private to Tyke

Any leads on what happened to Howard Stark. A reassuring message to the network ensuring people that everything's being done that can be is long overdue right now.

[Okay, see, this is a message Angela approves of. No showboating, no ego blasting, no trying to boss people around in a place where no one is the leader.]

Gotta say the casual encounters section is a nice touch.

If somebody was thinking of delivering shit, like a messenger, where would they put that?

[Somebody has an idea.]

Pinboard, huh? I like it.

[Will forever be checking the job offers section in hopes of something exciting. Like an assassination request. Been a while since he got to do one of those. Or, you know, something smaller and less violent might be okay sometimes, too. Maybe.]

And Chapel can do Armageddon-- it's his favorite.

[ or he hates it and jenna enjoys making him twitch.

she shrugs in answer the the question, smile a little rueful. ]


The crisis of the day, pretty much-- and once Connor left, before he came back this time around, it was still early on.

I kind of felt like it was too depressing without him.

[ subtext: and now losing people is part of the day. a painful part, but part. ]

That and there's oxygen to talk with though some people use up more than others.

[Ahem.]

Indeed; without question. I merely suffer some trepidation; I've studied more than one case where networks such as this were used for nefarious purposes.
