Network

[In the spirit of keeping a low profile and capitalizing on the fact that most of the people of her world haven't seen her face, Phasma decides to break the network silence with an anonymous text post in order to attempt to gather intel.]

To what extent would you sacrifice securities for freedom?

Action

[Ever since her visit to the green planet before their departure, and her conversation with General Hux, she's been playing mute aboard her ship; observing, listening, using a minimalist pantomime where absolutely necessary. She doesn't trust her crew, she doesn't trust the ship, and she doesn't trust Atroma. The one person she does trust she's agreed not to contact unless in a guaranteed secure location, which isn't anywhere on the Fleet itself.]

[She keeps to herself, but if you're lucky you might catch her making a meal to take to her quarters (or the hanger, or wherever there is a quite, lonley spot). If she does happen to appear where there are people gathered, it's on the fringe, where she can quietly observe the conversation without feeling obligated to add to it.]

That depends on what you consider a security.

Control over populace and environs.

[It's really the only way to ensure safety.]

Those I am just fine "sacrificing".

what's a security?

Re: Text

[flawless_precision]

A government, group of individuals, devices, or other, that ensure a state free from threat or danger.

I am curious. I find the answers can be quite telling about the individual.

Not entirely as some security is needed to make society flow properly, but I could certainly do with less of it and more freedom. There's a point when the fear of things out of your control cuts not just into freedoms but into rights, into the ability to be a person, and that's what I fight against.

No one should have to give up their freedom entirely for other people's fear.

Re: anonymous text

[flawless_precision]

What would you qualify within the 'ability to be a peson'?

[ontrial]

Security ought to involve freedom enough to be comfortable. If it doesn't, you need to rework your so-called security.

That sounds reasonable. Too many believe they deserve every whim granted at the expense of their fellows.

[ Isaac is always making food (or attempting to), and it just so happens he wanders in to make some at the same time Phasma is. He's seen her around, and knows there's new crew aboard what with all the confetti.

Isaac starts off by getting himself something to drink, fumbling around for a cup. ]

So I'm pretty sure we're on security together. I mean, I don't think we have to meet or anything, but the last girl hid knives in the closet so I just kind of want a heads up if you're gonna play hide and seek with weapons. [ Hello, hi, have an awkward teenage werewolf. Terribly sorry. ]

[flawless_precision]

[Awkward teenage werewolf, meet overconfident captain of brainwashed soldiers. She stands about 6'3", looking over at him inbetween stirring up her soup. She's not impressed. She rarely is.]

[And, as she is currently trying to maintain her anonymity with those that know her from her own world, she merely nods at him; yes, she hides weapons. No, she's not going to tell him where. She reaches up for a cup and then very pointedly sets it down on the counter near him.]

How are 'freedom' and 'security' defined? Every country I have seen sees them differently.

text

[flawless_precision]

Security I've outlined above. Freedom is the right to act or speak as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

[text ; anonymous]

[privatizes]

[ two can play the anon game ]

How much freedom are we sacrificing for security?

[flawless_precision]

We are speaking in hypothetical. What are the limits you foresee working best for overall society?

[Phasma has to suffer another teenager in the kitchen, this time rummaging through the newly-added pantry that comes with having a cook aboard. Davesprite's wings are folded up so he doesn't knock anything off the shelves, but his primaries still stick out a little awkwardly behind him. He holds up a can of meat, reading the label.]

Hey. Toss that to me, would ya.

[Davesprite motions to a can opener (at least, it might be a can opener) laying on the counter, on her other side.]

Re: action;

[flawless_precision]

[She looks at him, staring at those wings with no small amount of disdain. People should not have wings, it's unnatural.]

[At his words she looks where he's motioning, picks up the can opener, and seems to consider whether or not she's actually going to toss it over, before finally tossing it over. She's still watching him curiously, though. Curious and wary.]

If you need security, you should make your own or become part of a group that can help you with it. There's already too little freedom and too much broken structure.

Re: permanon text;

[flawless_precision]

I could do that. [It's certainly an option she's considered, but for right now it wouldn't fit her current mission objectives.]
