Who: Ino and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Station, Three Twins
When: Today!

[ Hello Droot Floot! Have a tiny blonde sitting in her captain's chair to make this little announcement/PSA/proposition of sorts. When she speaks up, her tone is friendly, but formal, in its own way. ]

Hi everybody! Ino, captain of the SS Three Twins, if we haven't met already.

[ Not, you know, that Aaron loser who was pretending to be her awhile ago. Gosh. B( ]

--Just a few things ... !

First of all, it seems like everyone is making decent headway on repairs, but is there anyone who's in dire need of some parts that hasn't gotten them yet? Let me know, I'll see what I can do about getting something sent your way.

Secondly ... well, I know not all of you were here for it when it happened, but the reason we're stuck on this little station and not somewhere cooler is because we were attacked by some sort of enemy forces. Nobody was hurt too badly, but the ships themselves weren't so lucky. Unfortunately we're still pretty in the dark about who they were or what the point of the whole thing was, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything about it!

That being said, there are two important things we need to work on. The first being making sure everyone on every ship at least has a little bit of experience with every possible augment. Between your crews you guys should be able to teach each other the basics! And, of course, if you're missing some and don't know who to look to for information, let me know, or ask around. Or, if you happen to have one of the rarer augments, feel free to volunteer here! After all, knowing what to do in a situation of distress is crucial!

And the other thing being, we really need to work on, you know, our actual plans in case we get attacked again. Teamwork, strategy, that sort of thing. Once all the ships are up in the air again I think it'd be a good idea to run some practice formations and stuff like that, so we can easily communicate what needs to be done to get out of a situation like that safely if it happens again. Since, you know, there's a pretty good chance it might!

Any thoughts? Other captains? Other people? Of course, my crew doesn't really get a choice.

[ She grins. Sorry, Three Twins! ]

I got bored about a quarter of the way through, so I'm going to fill this in as I see fit myself:

We were attacked! Blah blah something something TEAMWORK! Something something, control issues.

Did I get it right?

[ Smiles. The kind of smile where she's probably going to kill you right after. ]

Crowley, if you don't have anything nice or helpful to say, you can piss off.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Hey he thinks he recognizes you. At least, Crowley did say "Ino" had also been from Paradisa, and the voice seemed more or less familiar. ]

Believe the problem with "practice formations" is a lack of pilots. Although working with those that do, to cover those that don't...

[ Otherwise he has no problems with this plan. ]

[ino]

[ Oh hey, you look vaguely familiar too, Duke! ]

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking the whole cross training thing will be important. There's not much we can do about what augments get assigned to people, but we can do our best to cover for what we lack.

[catamite]

[and guess who only tuned in to pay attention when he caught the words 'my crew.'

that means him, right?]

Wait... what?

Video

[ino]

[ Patiently: ]

What part was confusing?

video

[devilsinthedetails]

[He lets out a loud yawn. Was there something important in all that TEAMWORK chat because he doesn't notice it.]

Do you have any experience in this sort of thing or are you just going to yell at us again?

video

[ino]

[ Ugh ..... you again. She frowns, but she keeps it professional: ]

I can offer training for medical emergencies, and I have a decent amount of experience in tactics and battle formations that I'd be happy to use to help everyone out. There's plenty I have yet to learn, just like everyone else, but I know a lot of people in the Fleet and could easily connect people with whoever they need to learn the skills they lack.

I don't plan on yelling at anyone unless they decide they are too selfish to see the importance of working together to keep everyone safe.

[poozers]

Ya' weren't kiddin' 'bout the captain stuff.

[It's good to see, honestly.]

I can help out with drill practice if ya' need it. Helpin' with the security augment, too. Either as the instructor or the target. It's a good idea ya' got here, Ino.

[ino]

Really? That would be a huge help! Thanks!

Video

[save_the_souls]

Going...well?

[He sees those other responses. See. This may be the exact reason he nixed Beverly's idea about coordinating with the fleet]

I suppose I can offer to help teach first aid, though it seems like we have a lot of medics now - so I'm not sure how many people I'd get.

Video

[ino]

[ A little sigh ]

As well as it can, I guess.

Yeah, we do have a lot of medics, but it couldn't hurt for everyone to learn a few basic skills just in case. Anything would be helpful, honestly!

video.

[slukhtis]

You talk too much.

[ino]

[ She smiles, in the kind of way where you know she is actually very irritated with you ]

Wow, that was some really interesting and helpful feedback. Tell me more!

video;

[paeon]

My understanding has been that if we do not have a specialist in any certain area, even if we were to receive training, we'd be locked out anyroad. Is that not true?

video;

[ino]

I think that depends on what it is. Like, everyone should be able to learn basic first aid and store medical supplies somewhere, even if they don't have lab support on their ship.

I think the biggest thing is the pilot, honestly.

video

[dancingmd]

You know, of course, that I'm happy to help in any way I can.

[She bites her lip and thinks for a minute.]

Though judging by the responses you've been getting, this might be a bit of an uphill battle.

video

[ino]

[ She just rests her chin in her palm, trying not to look as annoyed as she feels right now ]

I had a feeling it would be. Everyone is always quick to fuss about actually having to do something.

I think there'll be enough of us to be able to cover for the people that don't want to cooperate, though.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

This is a great idea. We've been trying it out on the Blue Fish, Hawke's been teaching us how to shoot.

Doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?

Video

[ino]

Exactly!

[ thank you sokka for validating her ]

Well, once I've got my crew up to speed, we can practice some stuff together, then.

[pocketpal]

My crew is perfectly adequate to their tasks, and they don't need any spare parts.

[ino]

[ ... Somehow she doubts that, but -- she's trying not to argue with people, here, so: ]

Think they'd be up for teaching other people some of their skills, then?

[poetontheinside]

[He's glad to get the extra info- he may have been compiling a file. Old detective habits, and all, and he wanted to get a grip on everything that's happening around him. He's sitting back, fiddling with something complicated-looking.]

I don't think my ship was here for the, uh, attack and all, so I dunno everything. What're the rarer augments? I mean, I could help [in fact, he's been bored out of his skull despite the whole 'new to space' thing] but I dunno if ya need it.

video

[ino]

I don't think there's anyone here who couldn't use a little help in some area.

I think our biggest problem is the lack of pilots, honestly.

video

[grabthecheese]

[Meeting other Captains is definitely a good idea. Polly is, after all, new at this, even if she wouldn't exactly call herself inexperienced, either. But there is definitely information she's missing.

And she just likes to know what kind of people are around.]

Teaching each other doesn't help if the ship doesn't have those functions.

video

[ino]

The only position where I think you would run into that is the piloting, because of the auto-pilot. Though you could always learn what to do on a ship that does have those functions.

But mostly I'm talking stuff like -- the engineers can teach people how to fix things like the engine, the lab support can teach basic first aid. That sort of thing.

[detectivewonder]

I can help any pilots out with evasive flying. Beyond what the augments do. Principles, strategy. How to set a pursuer up for a crossfire.

The best thing we could do is assign every ship without a pilot a wingman who has one. Pairing off will increase everyone's chances.

[ino]

Awesome! Thanks, Tim. I think that's a good idea. I'm not sure how many ships we have without a pilot -- do you happen to know?

[whereivebeen]

I'm Tay, I'm captain on the Paisley. Seems like good plans all around. We could use a little training on the comms systems over here, and some basic repair training. I can give people some tips on handling the shuttles, if nothing else.

video

[ino]

Great! I've actually got two communications people who can work with you, and I know exactly who to send you to for help with repair training.

Working with shuttles would be a good idea, too, in case people need to evacuate ...
