001. ☾ Have you seen our slutty beanie baby? { Network / Video }

Who: Cecil Harvey and you!
Broadcast: Network video, open to all
Action: N/A
When: Oct. 10th (permanent posting)

[ A new video post has been made to the network and it's actually labeled as "URGENT!" in hopes of baiting a majority of people into viewing it. When the video begins, viewers are treated to the sight of the S.S. Wonderduck's modest little armory and a young woman in a charcoal flex armor suit standing before a cage of what could be recognized as various weaponry, though it's likely that any of the fleet has seen things like these objects before. The woman herself might also be a peculiar thing to look at, with silver-white hair and a practically unnaturally fair complexion. Still, she has a kind and trustworthy face, and she speaks with calm, authoritative evenness that just manages not to sound cold at the same time. ]

Good day, fleet. My name is Cecil Harvey. I've been outfitted it seems with some sort of arms augment and, as you've probably heard by now, I've been named captain of the S.S. Wonderduck as well. I have a few requests and propositions to make to all of you.

It seems that many of us are fortunate enough to have old friends and past acquaintances among the fleet, but I think it's safe to say that in spite of this, most of us are not especially comforted. I know everyone is frightened, angry, confused... and as I am one of the few with experience to a setting such as this, I know that adapting to deep space can be difficult, especially on the human body and psyche.

My friends and I, scattered amongst the ships that make up the fleet as we are, can't help but be worried that perhaps there are other friends of ours out there, having trouble adjusting, and I'm sure a lot of you are in the same situation.

Therefore, I propose that-- I encourage all personnel to make use of this post to search for their own loved ones and to help each other find theirs as well, so that we may, as a whole, work together towards keeping everyone safe and healthy. Simply because we are split up into smaller groups does not mean we cannot cooperate or that we must remain detached from each other.

In that same vein, Captain Zoe Hange of the S.S. Red Fish and I have spoken in a casual manner about attempting to pool our resources. Obviously, we all have our advantages and we are all lacking in other areas. For example, my crew does not have official medical personnel, but we do have an official pilot.

I've been doing some digging around the network and it seems that if we look deep enough, we can in fact access a roster of the fleet's ships and personnel. Though useful, that does not exactly tell us what each crew member is capable of outside of our Atroma-given abilities, so, I'm asking for volunteers who would like to offer their services in whatever it is they excel at in case of an emergency. My fellow captains, I'm looking to you to motivate your own crews and discuss with them their comfort levels about this, if they do not come forward themselves and you believe they would be a boon to the fleet.

But please, remember-- do not force anyone against their will to participate.

Thank you for your time and all of your help.

[ And the message ends. ]

Good luck.

[proteusmoon]

Thank you...

[ Cecil swallows, a little nervous to be talking to Barakiel again, but she tries to keep her momentum from earlier. ]

...Ah, by the way, I've found out that my ship has a pilot and he is able to fly the ship competently.

Are you doing all right?

[jarredforlife]

I think we're doing alright.

[A pause.]

Do you know how much Allen Walker eats...

[proteusmoon]

[ She smiles her first real, genuine smile when talking to him, allowing herself to give in to the moment of levity. ]

Yes, I've heard you're shipmates. He mustn't be very pleased with all the... strangely flavored sticks and gel.

[jarredforlife]

The supplies we've got aren't much, but they're enough, apparently. Especially since I have all this...cook knowledge. Anyway, he seemed to like it.

[proteusmoon]

Cooking knowledge?

[ Cecil inclines her head. He got a cook augment? And they have other supplies? Food that isn't just sticks and gel?

She is so jealous suddenly-- for more than one reason now. ]

Oh... Well... at least they have you...

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Hey, this isn't a bad idea... I've already offered to help out a couple of ships, but I'll make sure the rest of the crew gets this too.

video;

[proteusmoon]

That's great, Robin! I'm glad. How have you offered to help?

audio;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Have you met Nunnally yet? She's a real sweetheart. Her ship's missing a mechanic, and we're missing someone who knows how to work the comms--so we're in touch if either ship needs a swap.

video;

[proteusmoon]

I haven't met her yet, no, but she's Hange's crewmate, isn't she? I'm happy you've already begun a setup. Maybe we could try other trades too, such as supplies.

audio;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Is she? I've only really run into Hange once, but... those two will be fine together.

Trading, also good. It's like you were a general or something. [HE STILL REMEMBERS THAT CONVERSATION...]

[aberrant_type]

I know how to use the lab on here. It seems to be the medical center on the ship, so I'll be happy to assist people with first aid if I'm needed! I know we have some other healers around, too. Hopefully they'll turn up.

video;

[proteusmoon]

Hello, Hange! I'm one of those, though I can't heal extremely serious injuries. I can, however, revive unconscious persons.

[ And, well, kind of resurrect the recently dead, but that might be a little too much information to spread around at the moment. ]

[aberrant_type]

I suspect our differently augmented medics might be more useful than the augments they've provided us here... in that case, I can also do strategy and I'll be fully combat-ready if I can obtain my gear from home.

[Which seems like a long shot right now, given they haven't heard a word about buying things back. She laughs a little, half-caught in her throat.]

Maybe I'd better look for a teacher, at this rate.

[proteusmoon]

Having augmented medics would be useful, yes.

[ Cecil gives her a sympathetic look. Having her own weapons taken yet again isn't appealing to her. ]

I'll try to collaborate with the other security officers of the fleet and see if we can't train others to use the weapons given to us here. Our augments — or mine at least — grants me to the knowledge I need to use one.

[aberrant_type]

I had hand to hand training during my training years... but it's been quite a while since then. Scouts aren't called upon to use hand to hand very much, and of course it's hard to make use of it against a gun. But if others can share their knowledge, we'll all be better off.

Please consider me your willing student when it comes to those guns.

[ riku shifts a bit in place, looking awkward. it's the first time he's met someone who really looks like him, pale complexion and hair and all--save for eyes, they look really similar... it's weird. he always thought he was a bit of a freak.

he clears his throat as he squares his shoulders. he is a keyblade master. he's supposed to protect the people of the worlds as well as the worlds themselves. that means he's got a duty to protect all of these displaced people. he'd just rather do that without dropping a title in someone's lap. ]

I'm part of the battle section on my ship. [ he rubs the back of his neck. ] I'm not used to everything here, but... I was a fighter back home, too. I know some spells that could help with healing, but I'm best at stealth and recon.

[proteusmoon]

[ Cecil is a little surprised by the face that looks back at her, largely because she's had a year on her world to get used to the fact that people who look like she does are usually met with awe or suspicion. People don't normally look the way she does and growing up, she used to be rather self-conscious about her appearance too.

Still, Court taught her that most people don't see it that way and she presumes it's the same for him, that his awkwardness is just a reaction to talking to a total stranger about himself, which is understandable to her. ]

Ah, that's good. I'm not especially talented with stealth and info-gathering isn't something I've done in a long time, so your skills will come in handy, I'm sure. Thank you for replying to me.

[limitstorm]

[ he nods his head, pulling down on the longer strands of his bangs as if he could hide his eyes behind them. ]

Uh, you're welcome, ma'am. [ NO WAIT ] U-uh, Captain! Captain... Harvey.

[ scratches his cheek. ] S--sorry.

video;

[proteusmoon]

[ Oh dear, this encounter just keeps growing more and more surprising. The bashfulness and embarrassment he exhibits is terribly endearing to her and she has to practically hold her breath discreetly in order to keep herself from laughing. She doesn't want it to seem as though she thinks he's ridiculous; it's simply that, truly, he needn't be so flustered about deciding what to call her. ]

Just Cecil is fine.

[ Her smile is warm and reassuring, her voice softening and adopting a much more casual tone. ]

What is your name? And what ship are you on?

video;

[limitstorm]

Oh, I didn't--

[ he didn't introduce himself!!! to a commanding officer!!! what is he doing with his life. this is wholly and totally embarrassing. ]

S-sorry, I... I'm Riku. I'm the, uh, security aug... ment, on the Bloodsport.
