ataraxion | Breach 001 [Video]

[The video feed clicks on in an odd little space, that may or may not be a storage closet or such somewhere in the ship. The view changes once more as a face takes over as the main focus. Please ignore the scruffy look, blood shot eyes, and slight pallor to his skin. Maintenance of this body is not a big priority with him right now as he holds up what looks like an odd sort of computer table/ipad/futuristic notebook depending on your time and era. He fumbles with it for a bit and seems to be using a finger to write something on it. Stopping and fumbling as if it’s either complicated or he can’t get his hand to move just the right way yet for the process. Or possibly it’s both, either way he finishes and turns it towards the screen showing a very alien script on it.]

[After a bit he removes it from view and looks expectantly at the camera before he decides to speak.]

Has the central command of the ship been found or explored, or even the security and communication rooms? I do not believe that these devices are the only way to broadcast messages, especially as there would need to be a way to communicate with outposts and other ships that may be sharing the same space as us. How easily defendable would we be in such a case of hostility is completely unknown at present because of these missing facts.

Not to mention chances for civil unrest as well if there isn’t a structured command in which to field any problems.

[He doesn’t elaborate on such anymore, as the real goal of the post has already been accomplished. So the feed clicks off.]

((OOC: Translation: If you can read and understand this, what is your designation and appointed field of duty?))

Are we discussing human command stucture or Cybertronian?

You know my function and designation already.

ANY! [He would throw his hands in the air, but he needs to keep the feed steady, and well small spaces do not like wild gestures.]

If a clear structure for those to follow isn't settled in time, we'll start breaking into little factions and likely cause more harm then good. You wouldn't know if you could fully expect someone not to rip out your main energon line or help you fend off any hostile forces.

[Yes, how could he forget. You caused him to learn the term headache intimately.]

Quite right, which means you currently are the highest ranking officer here if you follow Cybertronian command structures.

[His face is the face of one who will demote himself if you try and spin that back into his hands.]

Quite agreed. Humans have a bad tendency to break into factions and make things that much more difficult.

[he rubs his head. He isn't sure about being a leader, considering his brief reign as Warlord of Thraal and his general disposition.]

Of course. I was third behind Jazz and Prime in the chain before we left Cybertron, but we were not that formal afterwards. [only five 'Bots. What need of a chain of command?]

Precisely. Their very history is rife with such examples of the mindset coming out and into play. It's only a matter of time before it begins here and the breakdown of this quasi calm truce will start.

[Here he forgets for a moment that he should do so, and he gestures a bit to accentuate his point. Whoops, well he didn't hit the wall that hard so the wall is okay and his hand well, this whole touch thing is still freaky.]

...At least with a confirmed and steady command structure the ability to keep order is there with better efficiency, especially in regards to keeping non-combatants from ending up in a cross fire.

[He absently rubs the spot on his hand that got dinged. That was really odd. He did not like that sensation.]

I think I was either sixth or seventh depending on certain situations, and quite happy with my low ranking on that chain of command.

You hit a body part. Which is it? [he HEARD that thump]

I suppose I shall have to take the mantle, until a higher ranked officer arrives. What was your chain of command?

I did not, that was the communicator. [Poker Face he has it. He knows what happens when medics think they have a patient to take care of.]

I'm certain you will honor the position you carry until then. Slagging long.

It was Prime, Prowl, and Jazz as the three main officers. Then Weapons Specialist Ironhide and Chief Medical Officer Ratchet. Communication Officer Blaster which already is far longer a list then yours.

Red Alert, I think I can tell the difference between plastic and flesh striking hard surfaces.

[dry snort]

Prime, Jazz, myself, and Ironide were the ranking officers for the Autobots. We had divided into groups after Cybertron fell in order to seek the Allspark's location and keep it out of Megatron's clutches.

There was no injury sustained. I am not going back into medbay. [Nope.jpg]

We were not really separated the main force left on the Ark in search of new energy supplies as Cybertron was dying. Which included the entire collection of ranking officers. Elita-One and her unit remained on Cybertron to harass Shockwave.

Was my alternate that much of a tyrant? Or is it the fate of all medics to have avoidant patients who still insist on being idiots?

[he nods]

We only had a small force that accompanied Prime. The rest of the Autobots scattered to other places to defend against the 'Cons.

I think I've accumulated enough non-needed cycles within the confines of a medbay to warrant some time out of it. We should also not become lax in conserving our resources. So there really is no need for me to go anywhere near medbay for a good long while.

[Yes, yes he is an avoidant type. Surprise!]

I can see the logistics in such, though how well such would have worked in my universe is up for debate. Megatron is persistant in his obsessions and Prime was one of them.
