TWENTY: video

[It's been a while since she did one of these, and maybe it's past due. There are certain aspects of the current situation that make her want to avoid it, but some of those same aspects have made it clear she needs to reestablish security's presence. As it is, she looks calm if not particularly friendly, and her voice stays level and certain, uninterested in messing around.]

My name is Tyke. I'm head of SEC here - that's security, any of you new arrivals. The SEC team are here to try and keep you safe, because this ship is going to try and kill you.

Got three basic rules we need you to stick to, make that job easier: You don't steal or damage each other's belongings or the ship, you don't assault each other, and you don't kill each other. We have a brig, we will enforce any infractions. Punishment is decided case-by-case. Do not start asking me about law. Look around you, think about whether whatever law system you're used to would work here, then shut the fuck up about it.

If you've got any fighting, military or law enforcement background, anything similar we could use your skills on our team. You can contact me or Miles Edgeworth about recruitment. You don't have any of that experience and still wanna sign up, we can train you.

Don't go out into the unlit corridors. Don't engage in discussion with the red text called "Smiley". This ship is going to try and kill you, or fuck with your head, and those are two ways to speed it right the fuck up.

[There's a pause, slightly more of a frown on her features for a moment, the more current problem to address.]

Right now we're experiencing unexplained climate fluctuations. I've been informed Engineering is too hot to access, but Medbay's still chilled. The temperatures in the passenger quarters seem to be shifting at random, so updates on any other areas changing would be appreciated.

Til we figure it out, just stay alert of the environment around yourself. Stay hydrated, avoid overexertion in heated areas, stay wrapped up in cooler places. If somewhere gets too uncomfortable, listen to your body and move. Last thing we need is the fucking weather catching any of us out.

[ tyke: forever arya's new ladycrush ]

can you still get training without signing up? [ hell that is engineering aside, she's not about to swap her letters yet.

also she would bet an arm robb would ground her first. ]

[puppydogeyes]

You want to train?

[briefly]

Tyke - hello. This is Poppy, Poppy Chadwick. I'm not sure you remember me, but I joined the security team a while back, when I was around. Would it be all right if I jump back in?

[puppydogeyes]

[She nods slightly; yes, she remembers her.]

Have to run you through the assessment again. [A tilt of her head, like a shrug.] Policy.

[video]

[redheaded_rock]

Thank you, Tyke. It's good to get some advice. [A pause and then:] I dunno if you really need it here, given what you said, but I did a lot of interning and behind-the-scenes type work with the NYPD and the Medical Examiner's office back in New York. I'm not much good in a fight -- I tend to duck pretty quickly -- but if you need a hand with the little stuff or an investigative type eye, I'd be happy to help out.

[jurisimpudent]

[sliiiiiding in here before Tyke can give the predicted answer of "we have no use for those who aren't good in a fight"--]

Good day. Miles Edgeworth. Can you give more details about what you did with the NYPD?

[rubblegoddess]

Sorry, dear, I have a question. Has anything adverse ever happened to someone who spoke with "Smiley"? I'll try to follow your advice, I promise.

not here but

[jurisimpudent]

[did you really just call Tyke "dear"
oh my god HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU]

[falteringly]

[ There is some hesitance here. ]

I have experience.

[There's a pause on her side as well, a frown pinching her brow, but she knows that voice.]

Castiel?

[suddenlycaptain]

The shuttle bay's a decent temperature and holding steady.

[puppydogeyes]

[She nods, and then there's a tug of a wry smile in the corner of her mouth.]

Bet you'd have something to say about us all camping out up there.

voice;

[thebreakingwave]

I haven't spoken up before, and I'm happy in the flight crew, but if something goes wrong and you need a hand, I might be of some use.

[puppydogeyes]

[Raised eyebrows, briefly.]

Pretty sure Carolyn'd be pissed about me taking her people.

[kutte]

Hey, you got a minute for me?

[ is this potentially awkward? yes. but jax isn't going to let lingering memory shit bog him down when he's got a whole new mess of things rattling around in his head. ]

[puppydogeyes]

[Something more defensive settles into her expression, but she'd seen he was Gunnery now. She knows how to keep unrelated matters contained, most of the time.]

Depends what it's for.

Alright?

[invigor]

[And here's Booker appearing on the video feed, who's is still relatively new to the security team in general. All the more reason for his following request.]

So I know running security's probably keeping you busy -- [not that Booker knows her personally, but he'd still bet his money on it] -- so I don't really expect for you to put this on the top of your priority list.

[With that out of the way:]

I'd like to request some training with firearms, if anyone's got time and feeling inclined to teach. I'm familiar with what I brought with me when I arrived here; but I've got a strong feeling that my equipment's a little... outdated compared to what most people are workin' with.

[He's from 1912. He figures guns have had to evolved somewhat since then -- and he'd feel more comforting knowing how they did, and what changes he can expect if he ever needs to use one.]

video;

[puppydogeyes]

[It's a good request to get, as far as she's concerned. Too many tend to get defensive and never want to admit weaknesses, which makes improving the team's general skills a more difficult task than it needs to be.]

We get that more than you'd expect. Swords, usually.

[Though she won't actually criticise the use of a sword in certain situations.]

Gunnery are running firearms training. I can talk to them, get them to give you some time.

[woodlander]

[ Oh good. This woman seems useful. ]

You are one of the guards here.

In my home, that is my role. Well met, Captain - my name is Tauriel. Tell me, what is the red text? Is it the voice of the ship?

[puppydogeyes]

No Captain. Just Tyke.

[Because 'captain' is a pretty loaded title around here.]

He won't tell us who he is. Pretty sure he talks about the ship like something separate, but he's crazy, so who knows.

[ it's taken elena a while to convince herself that this is... if not a good idea, then a good use of her time and abilities, but here she is. so far it hasn't seemed like the ship is as deadly as damon and jenna and caroline have made it out to be, but she's not taking any chances. ]

Hello, Tyke, I'm Elena Gilbert. I've got some experience with fighting, and I have some... abilities that would be useful in security, I think.

video;

[puppydogeyes]

[She nods, doesn't look particularly fazed by the pause preceding 'abilities'. She's used to discussions like that, one kind or another.]

You wanna tell me what kind of abilities? I can make this a locked line, if you'd prefer that.

[deagle]

The Oxygen Gardens are about where they were before the jump, the the 90 degree range.

[ a pause, and then: ]

I had a couple of questions for you. Preferably in person.

video; private

[puppydogeyes]

[She nods, like she's making a mental note of that, but the following part has her frowning a little suspiciously. She doesn't know this number, but that doesn't mean she can dismiss a request outright.]

Wanna give me a rough idea what they might be about?

video;

[warandapiece]

If I volunteer for Security, do you suppose you'd mind scheduling a walk in say - next week? What day is it, anyway?

video;

[puppydogeyes]

We don't have a calendar here.

[And it's such a headache.]

We run skills assessments on all volunteers before they're signed up. That'd be done ASAP.

[video; private (ish. as private as he can manage)]

[summerlord]

[His expression isn't exactly pleasant, but neither is his countenance hard or unforgiving. Neutral but wary, perhaps, is the best way of describing it. His tone is level.]

It might be wise if we spoke.

[video; private (ish. as private as he can manage)]

[puppydogeyes]

[She seems to be dealing with a lot of elves, recently. Which gives her some idea what this might be about, but she doesn't actually recognise him, so she isn't going to agree outright.]

Yeah? Why wise?

video;

[handelaar]

Too damn hot down here.

[Dude still looks hungover from the jump. And a pretty gross, jumpsuit-soaked level of sweaty.]

For now.

[puppydogeyes]

Some guy telling me it's still trying for actual jungle status.

[Maybe you should shed some layers, Ned. Not that she actually suggests that. Just,]

Good to see you awake.

[redhotsummers]

Dude, even I'm feeling the heat. This is crazy.

Doesn't normally bother you?

[carbonite]

Hey, you're the person I usually try to avoid.

[puppydogeyes]

You saying that cause you've got something to bring to me, or just so I'll be checking up on you from now on?

[enlistments]

The ship is trying to kill us?

[puppydogeyes]

That's what I said.

John Tillman. Ten years active duty in the U.S. Army. I've been here before and I'm willing to help out.

[puppydogeyes]

[She squints at the video slightly, thinking she might be able to place him.]

You were security before, weren't you?

[untamedantinous]

I have some training in hand-to-hand combat and --ah, some street fighting. Would that be acceptable? I have been looking for something useful to do with myself, to no avail.

[puppydogeyes]

It might be. We run people through assessments, see what kind of skills they've got and any training we can give them, patch over the gaps.

Forgot that nobody's allowed to talk about fight club, but nice speech otherwise boss.

[ dumbass. ]

[Guess who has no idea what fight club is outside of the TQ.]

Haven't run fight club in months.
