In light of recent events, a coordinated response and therefore some discussion on how to proceed is required.

For that purpose, everyone please come to gunnery in five hours sharp.

[ it's vague and imprecise but for time and place, but that is entirely deliberate. the whole point of doing this off the network instead of on it is to avoid giving away more than necessary. ]


[ ooc: see also this post for ooc coordination and this log. ]

[alldamned]

No dress code for this thing, is there?

text;

[kutte]

Against our better judgement, yeah. Everyone

[kutte]

You wanna dress up, we're not gonna stop you. But we're not all that picky down here.

[alldamned]

Kiddin, anyway.

[Mostly.]

I'll be there. We got a lot to talk about.

not here.

[mindtricks]

[ please don't come naked. ]

also not here.

[alldamned]

[WELL HE'LL TRY BUT NO PROMISES]

[kutte]

Looking forward to it, man.

After all this time, you still don't have a more efficient method for making decisions than asking everyone on board?

[kutte]

It's a democracy. Everyone gets a say, and that's how this goes. Normally we don't get everyone in a room to shout about it. This is just a special occasion.

[iceboxed]

they're not going to agree on one thing

[kutte]

No reason not to have the meeting anyway.

[iceboxed]

even though they'll just do what they want anyway?

[hairlocked]

Even with a democracy. What if there were tens of thousands of passengers, and all of them sheep farmers? Would their opinion hold as much weight as one admiral, in matters of military defense?

[kutte]

Where's your faith in humanity?

[kutte]

Up here, on this ship? Yes.

[iceboxed]

you're kidding right?

text;

[hairlocked]

That's interesting. If we were attacking, that's the first thing we'd take advantage of.

[kutte]

We meaning who?

Not here

[cabins]

[leoben you are not subtle.]

[kutte]

Does it matter?

Do you want to have a say or not?

[iceboxed]

i'll come
but i doubt anything i say's gonna make a difference

Not here

[hairlocked]

[ Not subtle is what he's good at. How do you like your bomb scares? ]

My people were at war with humanity. They call us Cylons, or toasters, if they're being particularly vulgar.
The point is, it's easy to destroy something which is already tearing itself apart. Disorganization is the ultimate threat, short of actual self-destruction.

Not here

[cabins]

[As much as she likes Cylon scares involving her fiance.]

[kutte]

Assuming we're tearing each other apart. That's not the point of this.

[kutte]

Depends on the difference you're trying to make.

text;

[hairlocked]

Hopefully it'll have the opposite effect. I have the utmost faith in the process.

text;

[kutte]

You sound like you do.

[iceboxed]

you get that we could take them, right?

text;

[hairlocked]

We have a democracy where I'm from too. If I didn't believe in it, I wouldn't support it.

text;

[kutte]

Good to know. Maybe when we're not in some kind of fucked up chase scene, you can tell me more about wherever it is you're from.

[kutte]

And you know that base on what?

text;

[hairlocked]

I'd love to. I'll try and imagine a moment where we're not rushed off our feet.

[iceboxed]

common sense?
experience?
this isn't the first time stuff like this has happened

text;

[kutte]

There's been downtime. We just gotta wait for it.

text;

[hairlocked]

Peace and quiet usually has a price.

[kutte]

I know it's not. But I'm not talking about it on the network. You wanna argue your point, come down to Gunnery, kid.

[iceboxed]

told you already that i'm coming
i'm just not expecting anything
