[ When these sort of announcements go up, John is usually one of the people replying to them, waiting for orders or confirming them. He hasn't stepped into a leadership role on the ship, hasn't even been too social, and he's been just fine with that. But Tyke's injured, in Medical, and she had sent him a message: "Take SEC".
And so he does.
It's not his first time giving orders, though it's been some time, and he doesn't like to think about those last times. Still, John's the picture of a good Marine when the camera flicks on, the chain of his dog tags visible around his collar. ]
Tranquility, this is Staff Sergeant John Grimm. [ "Reaper" lies unsaid, his handle lurking on his tongue and in the tattoo hidden under his sleeve. ] We've done a thorough sweep and the pirates are all either dead or captured. You're clear to return to work and to your rooms. Anyone injured should report to Medical, if they haven't done so already.
Anything the pirates taken hasn't been put back yet. If you want to do inventory on what's missing [ or where, he thinks; they were just practically ripping the walls apart in some places, after all ] then we can work on getting things back to where they belong.
[ Beat. ]
You may all be wondering why I'm telling you this instead of Tyke. She's [ his gaze flickers for a moment, taking a breath; he's worried ] currently out of commission and had me take Security until she recovers. I don't know any more than that at this time.
[ And he's fairly certain Tyke wouldn't want him to go around dropping details about how he's doing anyway. Now's the part where John looks a bit awkward, like he's not sure how to finish up. ]
If you have questions, ask them.
[ locked to KAZAMA SOUJI, FAITH LEHANE, BRAD COLBERT, and MASON LOCKWOOD ]
If you're not injured, I want to add the brig and surrounding area to your patrols. When Tyke comes back, she can make her own judgment call.
And so he does.

[ Irene, stop being mean. ]
You like telling the truth.

I can see why she likes you. Trusts you. Feels like you'll take care of everything while she's regrettably sidelined. You'll make sure she's careful, won't you?
voice | encrypted 100%
Yeah, I will. Not that she'll necessarily like it.

[ That's...not necessarily something he'll want. Maybe. ]
Of course she won't. She'll try and work like nothing's wrong. But if she pushes herself too much at least you'll be there to remind her of how she does, regrettably have limits.
Can you promise you'll do that for me?

[ The other one, he means. ]
It won't be for you. [ It'll be for Tyke. ] But yes.

[ I'm not sorry in the slightest about that. ]
If it was, I wouldn't be asking you. Not particularly fond of potentially owing individuals favors. Even if it's someone like you. [ An actual truth, surprise surprise. ]
I'll keep in touch, dear. [ And that's all she said because now the feed is done. ]
