Who: Signy Mallory and Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Wonderduck
When: Just after shuffle

[ Signy has paid the confetti and pudding no mind at all, and if the transportation was jarring, she’s still relieved to be somewhere else, with people around. With a view she can take in and maybe start to do something with. Her posture is pure military commander, and if she’s wearing rather and repaired clothes, there’s a Captain’s patch on her jacket. She looks mid thirties, other than her eyes and the silver-gray of her hair. She should really do something about that, since Norway isn’t part of Earth Company any longer. Then again, she’s not part of Norway at the moment.]

This is Signy Mallory. Formerly Captain of the Norway in the Merchanter’s Alliance. If there’s anyone here from Union or Mazian’s fleet, I’m sure we can find a way to get along.

[ It hurts to say ‘former’ more than she expected. Damn her pride, and, too, her worry for her crew. Di can handle it, of course, but until she believes why she’s been taken, there could easily be some greater threat that her abduction is a part of. ]

I have to say, from what I’ve seen of this fleet so far…I’m still waiting to be impressed.

I’m given to understand that the Atroma are controlling us. What resistance attempts have been made to date?

What other active threats are there?

Well, sure, when you put it like that... [But she still doesn't think it's that simple. Maybe she's just lost too many people. Practice didn't make perfect.] And yet, there isn't a lot of crew trading for strengthening the fleet.

[norwaysown]

Has anyone else proposed the idea? Surely not everyone here gets easily sentimentally attacked?

[passingthrough]

Nami suggested it to everyone shortly after the attack.

[norwaysown]

And? Was there sufficient interest to staff one such ship that way?

[passingthrough]

Didn't sound like it. But that could have been everyone hoping someone else would make the sacrifice first.

[norwaysown]

I'm willing. Perhaps I'll poll people specifically about that.

[passingthrough]

Not a bad call. I keep meaning to talk to my crew about it. [And then putting it off again because she'd be asking them to do things she's not particularly willing to do herself like change augments.]

[norwaysown]

Good luck when you decide to.

[ It feels a weird response to her to say but she supposes it's likely to apply, with how this fleet generally operates. ]

[passingthrough]

Thanks. You too. And good luck with getting used to the fleet. It definitely has it's good points. [She's pretty fond of a lot of the people.]

[norwaysown]

I'll try to keep an open mind.
