[Text isn't usually her bag, but as she's currently lying in a dark room nursing a headache and trying not to puke her guts out-- needs must.]

GENERAL PRIORITY:
I need at least three people willing to run communications and record data for a recon mission in the ship. Technical experience preferred but not required. You won't be in the field, meaning there's little to no danger of missing the jump. See this archived post for additional details.

Any additional volunteers with technical skill willing to work with me [see: anyone she delegates the job to] to find workarounds for the ship's comm dead zones would be appreciated. If you can crack the problem, I'll personally barter my spare change of clothes away for something you want.



Unrelated side note:
Incident report re: medbay pre-jump would be great.


[locked to anyone currently signed up for recon mission]
Requesting a status report from all team leaders and anyone running environmental tests on their equipment. [...or magical abilities...]


((ooc: see this ooc comm post for more details on recon miniplot stuff!))

To be honest, you may need a sorceror to communicate through those dead zones.

Running tests first?

[2leftfeet]

I'm open to any kind of lines of communication.

That's right.

[ryuuzaki]

Good. I don't know if it's feasible, however. We've tried to track individual communicators in the past, with a visual map, but we've only been successful to some extent. Has Nathan Petrelli showed you the results?

[OOC: MY BAD. I'm over in her last post about this expedition and was going from Snape's thread about communications, and was careless about the privacy level. Well, let's pretend L said "magic" instead of "a sorceror," I guess. :\ SORRY, GUYS. I try very hard not to infomod; this was a slipup.]

[ time for the most understated message ever. ]

I tested what we discussed. It is still possible, with the right subject, however it is not viable for me to do without suffering extreme exhaustion.

Then it's off the board.

As you say, Commander. [ He'll keep it as some kind of last resort then. ]

[ somebody teach this man where the power button on a goddamn computer is ]

My 'equipment' is functioning as well as can be expected given the fact that the ship's interference isn't localized to tech. I can't say for certain how magic - mine or anyone else's - will function in between here and one of the dead zones without actually having someone in said dead zone.

[ And because he's reading-- ] Actually being a wizard in the literal sense, I can try enchanting objects to permit communication between people who aren't magic users, but the standard unforeseen functionality problem disclaimers will, of course, apply.

[2leftfeet]

Make it happen. Potential backups are better than nothing.

[darkart]

Of course.

Don't tell me I'm going to miss the wedding.

[2leftfeet]

Don't tell me you were planning on going.

NOOOOOOOOOOO RUINED!!!!!11

[debts]

Don't tell me Commander Shepard doesn't like getting drunk and hitting on elves. I don't think I could follow somebody like that.

Someone suggested I volunteer around here and make myself useful, so here I am.

I'm Darcy Lewis. New. I've got some experience with complex computer systems and hacking. Spoilers: I'm not sure how well they translate to a ship in space. But I'm willing to give it a shot if you are.

Shepard, formerly of the SSV Normandy [space faring starship].

I'll take any help I can get. Have you made yourself familiar with the comm systems here yet?

text;

[50000volts]

Learning curve doesn't seem too steep in comparison to systems I've dealt with on Earth. I'm sure with a little help it won't take me long to get up to speed.

It sure as hell beats sitting around.

It's going to take some training before we're combat ready.

[ we, as in "this team". brad himself is combat ready, but the team doesn't function as a team yet. that includes him. ]

[Which is exactly the kind of thing she was expecting to hear. Doesn't make it any better.]

Can you get your team in working order by the next jump?

[makedo]

if they cooperate.

[circumitus]

well.

suppose now is as good a time as any to work on my people skills.

[HAHAHA team work.]

[2leftfeet]

You don't have to be their friend, but it'd help if you knew their names.

locked;

[circumitus]

names.

yes.

suppose that would be helpful than shouting "you" if there's a situation.

Reporting in.

[ he takes a deep breath before continuing, sounding terse. ]

I've lost contact with Isaac Clarke. I heard he was interested in the operation, but I tried getting in touch with him via our RIG units. No dice.

[She sounds thrashed out, exhausted. There's obviously a reason she was using text for the posting, but hell what can she say - she's big on common courtesy.]

Great. I'll talk to Security and see if we can't get access to his quarters. Would you be able to operate any tech he had if it'd been left behind?

[Because he'd said something about plotting coordinates and surveying equipment and she'd give her right hand for something like that right now.]

[ locked ]

[windchasing]

I can scout.

A team will not be necessary.

That's funny.
